On a short trip to Essex (4 days) this was without doubt the best food served. The slip sole was excellently cooked and served in a tasty sauce alongside peas and samphire. And the lamb dish was good too - the lamb pieces had been roasted in a mould and served with very tasty carrots and potatoes. There was good cooking all round and we dined in a music free dining room. Good pint of beer but the red wine (two glasses -house and rioja) were disappointing - the only "blot on the landscape".

We love coming over to the KB but our experince on Sunday was very disappointing. We waited without a drink or having our order taken for 20 minutes while others were served. No apology or explanation, even when we asked several.times to be served. Food was delicious and we will return but no tip given yesterday as unhappy with how we felt treated.

We sat outside and had a lovely roast dinner and dessert each. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was calm and quiet and plenty of people were there chatting and relaxing. A nice ambience. Really tasty gravy! Yum!

Sorry but not impressed. Must have new owner who have made massive changes. Menu was limited and way too pricy for size of meal. Still hungry after main meal and lack of choice again for dessert. Staff friendly .

A perfect Sunday roast experience. The food was very nice; and generous amounts with vegetables served as sides and our own gravy boat! The dining room was very pleasant, and after our meal we sat outside to enjoy some music and sunshine. Service staff were friendly and efficient.

Had a really delicious meal at The Bell Inn. Sunday roast at its best! My partner had the mushrooms on toast to start - absolutely fabulous. Then we both had belly of pork washed down with a good value red wine. Staff were lovely and ambiance great. If I lived down the road, I’d be back every week!
