The Bell Inn - Table reservation

We decided that following the easing of lockdown rules that we would go back to the bell as my last meal before going away with work for 7months, I almost wish we hadn’t bothered.

We met each other in this pub. We drank there regularly. We loved it, but we moved away. We returned recently. I don't understand how they can get things so wrong. A couple ordering food had to send it back as it was stone cold (it wasn't busy). The beer has always been amazing. Not now. Both the Adnams and Landlord were atrocious. Ended up drinking Carlsberg as the safest bet. Lovely to see a couple of old friends who told us about the new management. They haven't got a clue and it's really sad. I hope they get a grip soon.

Have had mixed experiences here in the past, but it was faultless today. Three roasts- all different- were fabulous. The food was amazing. Service was perfect. Fire lit in the bar. It was really lovely.

Under new management. The beer is back to its excellent standard. The place is warm and inviting with excellent staff. We're so glad it's back to normal.

held a party for my mother in there and the staff were very accomodating. Service was excellent and the food was great.
