    Sunday lunches are often a let down - from what looks like a great ALC menu - an average sunday lunch. several items not as described - and I wouldn't decsribe the place as over run with punters... a pity

    We arrived a little early but this presented no problem at all. The staff were friendly and efficient. We understand that the chef was new [2 weeks into the post] but the food was certainly as, or even better than, we had been led to believe. We have already recommended the Six Bells to several other friends. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. We will definitely return.
