"Bolney is central to meeting up with my old school friends and we have always used The Bolney Stage for our catch-up. Having been recommended to try The Eight Bells I looked it up on the internet and was very impressed by the choice on the menu, so booked. I'm sorry to say it did not live up to expectations. The place was completely empty when we got there so had our choice of tables. My 2 friends arrived first and bought drinks. We found out later that the lime and soda had been overcharged by £2. We then looked at the menu which was quite limited. I had been expecting liver and bacon but sadly was not there. My friends asked what the soup of the day was as they fancied soup and half a sandwich. Unfortunately there was no soup and we were also told there was no chilli. They just had a panini each which when it came was HUGE. Perhaps a little too big, but very tasty. I myself had the steak pie which I thoroughly enjoyed. So no problems with quality of food, just lack of expected items from website menus. Service left a lot to be desired. Tables were never cleared, we weren't asked if we wanted more drinks, coffee, puddings which saved us from spending our money but was not really good for the business. A lost opportunity and we will be returning to The Bolney Stage. Sorry."
