First time at the Bell. I live in Spain but was in the UK visiting family in the area. We went for the Sunday Roast in order to see whether it may be suitable for Xmas day lunch. I'm happy to say the roast was lovely, freshly prepared (yorkshire puddings with every meat choice, always a bonus) and a good list of extra sides if required. There was also a good selection of starters and desserts. I spoke with the chef who was lovely and the waiting staff very attentive too. The decor was spot on and there's a nice outside terrace too. We shall be booking for Xmas.

A nicely presented pub, but the food was a bit disappointing.

The new menus is pretty good and we both had excellent meals. My partner wanted something that was from the old menu and they were still able to provide it!

Service from staff was excellent. There was a big party on the day we went in their function room, as a consequence our food was a bit delayed. this wasn't a pr let as we were in no hurry, however we were offered a free drink or sweet as recommended sense which we thought was very kind. Food was good, a wide selection.

Lovely restaurant, very nice staff. Excellent service. Pies were delicious, but unfortunately the steak wasn’t of its usual quality but I still highly recommend the Bells.
