Ordered the sea bream, which had no taste served with new potatoes which were hard. The decor is tired and the chairs uncomfortable.

Firstly very nice staff and Christmas atmosphere lovely, really good selection of foods at variable prices. Food hot and served on hot plates, vegetables came in separate bowls and again served hot, great as we were a party of 16. We had slight issue with the lamb chosen by 4 friends being inedible as it was tough and instead of returning at the time they just left it, fair play to the manager dealt with it quickly and efficiently and agreed with chef it was indeed tough, they removed from the bill. All in all a really enjoyable evening was had by all and we will return. Merry Christmas ? to you all and thank you very much for looking after us .

Sunday Lunch here was amazing, had the best meal in years. The service was great and there was no rush.

We were visiting the area and went to The Bell based on the good reviews and the fact that they still served Sunday Roast in the evening. We were not disappointed! All of the staff that served us were very friendly. A good selection of dishes on the menu. My husband had the roast lamb and I had the garlic chicken. The food was absolutely delicious and plenty of it! We would highly recommend!

Disappointed with meal quality for the price paid. Excellent service. Ribeye steak not recommended.

My wife and I eat out a fair bit and are always keen to find somewhere new, particularly with good food. I discovered the The Bell Inn after a quick Google search for rated places to eat in Warwickshire. The food is excellent, very tasty, well cooked and nicely presented. The portion size is also just right, plenty on the plate and we were both full satisfied. The dining area was nice and cosy and despite being quite busy, our table was secluded enough to still be able to have a conversation. We live about 45 minutes away, but will definitely be returning as it’s now in our top 5 go eateries. The waiting staff were excellent too, friendly and attentive. Thoroughly recommend.

The website promised a great experience catering well for all food types, including separate vegan and vegetarian menus. Whilst the atmosphere, pretty garden, clean and well managed Inn were very attractive and service was good, the food was very disappointing for all four of us. Everything was cooked through properly, the range of the menus tried to be adventurous but the reality was unskilled and boring. I had a vegan Thai curry, it is easy to make a good vegan curry, the sauce was reasonably tasty but it drowned a bed of spinach, red peppers, a mushroom and a token piece of broccoli. It was served with both rice and New potatoes! Very disappointing. The salmon in filo pastry was dry as was the vegan bean burger. The peppercorn sauce on the steak tasted like it wasn't home made. We appreciate all kinds of food, this was a pricey let-down. I tried leaving a review on their website but I didn't seem to be able to post it which makes me question the other reviews. Sorry owners, you have the makings of a fantastic business if you can get the food right.

Group of friends on a weekend break, staying locally. Booked on the strength of the Tripadvisor reviews and locality to accommodation. We weren’t disappointed. Extensive menu. Fabulous food and atmosphere. Great friendly service. Highly recommended. What a gem ?

Just perfect, lovely atmosphere, great menu choices. Staff were attentive but not over bearing, wine list is thoughtful and covers everything you could wish for. The freshly prepared food was just perfect for a relaxing autumn evening. A lovely relaxing evening thank you.

Went to this pub with friends as we were recommended by other friends. Went for the Sunday dinner, the pub was very busy-good sign we were seated immediately although 15 minutes early and our drinks order was taken and delivered with efficiency. All but one of us ordered the beef option and the other ordered the pork, the plates came out again in a efficient and timely manner but unfortunately this is where the disappointment kicked in, although the beef, pork and giant Yorkshire pudding was tasty, succulent and cooked to perfection the rest was aunt Bessie frozen the potatoes to the mashed swede/carrot combo and the parsnips and vegetables (not a lot of them for table of 4). We paid £17-£20 per meal this was poor quality food for the price, you can get better and cheaper elsewhere. The pub is lovely, warm and cosy and very popular.
We were passing on our way to another pub we had googled but saw The Bell Inn and stopped, are we glad we did, sat in their beautiful garden under their thatched roof circular table with cushions, had a wonderful Pimm's with a delicious steak and Guinness pie, with mash and gorgeous mixed green veg! Compliments to the chef! First rate!

This is one of our favourite places to eat. Booked in again today and not only was the food superb but so was the service. The manageress asked us if we would sample some wine and must admit, I am looking forward to ordering a bottle of the Malbec in future which I sampled. Back very soon.

As frequent visitors we were very sceptical due to the change in management since our last visit in 2021 We had also heard mixed reviews However it did not disappoint- the menu has not changed and many of the original staff are still there We have tried lots of other places for Sunday lunch- but The Bell far exceeds the rest in terms of quality, atmosphere and value for money

Great food, lovely atmosphere. Perfectly cooked, rare fillet steak. The service was fabulous, particularly Joy who was extrememly funny but absolutely professional.
