The Bell Inn

The Bell In was recommended to us by a local. Five stars because the staff were exceptionally friendly and the food was excellent. It was proper pub food, clearly home made, not pulled out of a freezer. The beer battered fish and chips were superb.

The pub is open for dining in with Covid restrictions in place but that didn't impact our visit at all. Booking ahead is probably a good idea. No play area for kids but that wasn't a problem for us. The beer garden is small but with a nice view

Nice country pub. Friendly staff. Well cared for garden. Views from garden over field of cows. Plenty of seating. Good food. Stopped for lunch.

Excellent range of good quality pub food. Friendly, village atmosphere on a Friday night. Staff lovely. Great place to catch up with friends or play a board game with family over a meal.

The Bell Inn deserves it's largely 5 star rating - but I had one really unpleasant experience there that I feel obliged to share. Having been a fairly regular patron of the Bell Inn (fantastic service, incredibly clean, warm & friendly atmosphere and delicious food) I stopped going after being treated very rudely on one occasion.

I had just dropped off my two small children with a childminder, and then rushed in because i had a meeting starting in one minute and I didn't have time to make it home. I planned on having a coffee, listening in to the short meeting, then heading home to work remotely for the day. Upon sitting down and beginning the call (barely audible and I wasn't speaking) someone came over to me and told me it wasn't "free WIFI." Shocked - noone had even taken my order yet I had barely sat down - I said I was happy to use a hotspot and they replied "how can we be sure". I have NEVER experienced that before.

I then ordered a capuccino to show that I was going to be a paying patron. As soon as it arrived another person came over and basically told me off for presuming they were some kind of coworking space. Bear in mind the pub was virtually empty, it was 10 am on a Tuesday, and I was planning on having a coffee, possibly some breakfast and then going home.

I am sad to leave this review because I really liked the Bell Inn, but I won't be going there again after the way I was treated. I hope they learn to give their paying clientele the benefit of the doubt and treat working mums with more respect in future.

It was our first visit here and service was excellent from start to finish. Lovely staff, food was plentiful and delicious. Will definitely visit again when we are back in the area.

Good pub, always busy, great food and staff. I had a party here as well and it was great. Worth a visit.

What a wonderful place... excellent food.. lots of cheery faces and our waitress who was also the barmaid was lovely
She knew her menu in and out and went the extra mile to accommodate us.
First class !
