Cosy atmosphere, delicious food & lovely staff!
We visited for food on a Saturday lunch time as a family of 2 adults and a 4 and 6 year old, we’d only visited for drinks before now. I had the hanging kebab in satay sauce, my partner has the beef pie and the kids had the cheeseburger and macaroni off the kids menu. All of the food was absolutely delicious, especially the kebab and pie. So tasty and really generous portions. It’s a good sign when you see the butcher from next door dropping things off to the kitchen too! The staff were all young girls, all of which were really friendly, polite and couldn’t do enough for you. So nice to have found a local pub that serves tasty food, with a nice, cosy atmosphere. My partner also told me to made sure I mentioned how the guiness was maybe the best he’d ever had. Will definitely visit again!

Great experience for our first visit
This was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Great food, and plenty of it, friendly service with a real "family run" vibe, and at very reasonable prices. We will definitely be making a return visit soon.

Amazing food and service
We discovered the Bell at Easter when we had a large family Easter lunch there. We've just taken friends there today for our 3rd visit and they were super impressed. I've run out of superlatives ! The food was simply first class as was the service, (yet again) and at reasonable prices. I take my hat off to Natalie and her team. I've already booked my next visit for a Christmas get together with a small group of work colleagues. They are in for a treat. !

Great food, gluten free with gluten free options across the menu
Amazing food, lots of gluten free options including fish and chips, which was very very good, best I’ve found. Reasonable pricing too.
