Went there today with a group of friends! oh my… best roast i’ve had! 1/2 roast chicken was too die for, and the homemade sticky toffee pudding topped it off! Thank you too all the staff

The roast was absolutely disgusting beyond belief, meat stone cold potatoes literally made me feel like vomiting ? and to charge 50 quid for that is beyond a joke, I will never return, and to top it off there was a waitress walking around in a dressing gown??

smashing food! went for a sunday lunch with my family. beautifully decorated for christmas season, feels cozy and lovely and warm with an open fire.. service from the waitresses were amazing, unfortunately didn’t catch any names there was a brunette lady continuously checking up on our meal. a blonde lady cheerful when taking our orders, bubbly and friendly, again checking on our meals, my family felt so welcome and will definitely return again. thankyou The Bell Inn

Had a wonderful meal, the lamb was perfectly cooked and the vegetables actually tasted like vegetables! All food locally sourced. Served by Kaya who made me feel very welcome. Will definitely return.

We had roast dinner. The meat was lovely and generous portions, but potatoes disappointing . No condiments offered. Food arrived without cutlery. Staff need to learn to smile!

This was the second time we have visited the Bell Inn for Sunday lunch.Not sure what's going on with the tables as they always seem sticky. To be fair there was a member of staff cleaning the tables, so maybe we were just unlucky, although she did seem to spray all over the adjacent tables salt and pepper sachets as well.Service and the pricing was good.I had the lamb which was plentiful and nicely cooked, however there were a few things that were definitely different to our last visit.The dinner already had gravy on it, which is a bugbear of mine and I would of preferred to be able to distribute where and of what quantity of gravy I would like. A jug would of been a better option.There was some sort of crumb with the dinner (not sure if it was meant to be stuffing) but it did nothing for either presentation or taste.The roasted veg on the plate was nice, but the veg brought out in a dish (between 3) was smothered in a runny tasteless cheese sauce (think was cauliflower, broccoli and string beans) so you had cauliflower cheese (fine) broccoli cheese and string bean cheese (not so fine).The biggest issue though was the roasted potatoes. Firstly, the last time we visited, we had some new boiled potatoes on the plate and were brought out a separate dish of very tasty roasted potatoes.This time however there were about 3-4 small to medium I assume roasted potatoes on the plate. This in itself would of been ok, all be it a bit stingy, but the potatoes were soft with no crispy skin and also must of been smothered in a whole black pepper pot which made them almost un edible.We enjoyed our first visit last year, but our second visit has put us off as it seems to have gone down in both quantity and quality.I know times are hard, but these type of cutbacks just put customers off and sadly we are unlikely to return and will look elsewhere for an occasional Sunday roast out.
