Our group of about 14 people consisted of mainly retired ex-colleagues and some spouses who had worked together in Southam, occasionally enjoying lunch together at The Bell when it served the biggest, tastiest plaice I’ve ever seen. Since then it has been spectacularly modernised, with very comfortable seating and a log fire, with a very varied and modern menu that was very well-enjoyed by all of us, including vegetarians/vegans.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the food was excellent. However, we were disappointed by the service. The waiting staff seemed to ignore us, especially the young waiter who appeared to be unoccupied. We were seated to the right of the pub and felt overlooked.

Additionally, dogs were present in the eating area, which was unexpected as we are not dog lovers. Although we were given discounts for our next visit, we were not impressed with the overall experience and will not be returning.

Came with a friend for a festive Sunday lunch/dinner. The food was outstanding, generous portions and good value for money. The service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was lovely and festive. Will definitely be visiting again in the New Year!
