Bell - Menu

Excellent food. I had the burger, but everything looked great. Character Inn/ pub in village location. Seemed popular with locals and walkers. Good selection of ales. Not cheap but reasonable value for money.

Just perfect. Large gang of us took it over for lunch on a recent Sunday— food drink and service absolutely top drawer. As someone in the business of running quirky venues, I know when a place ticks all the boxes

Had a veggie burger which turned out to be a mushroom in a bun (the worst kind of veggie burger) and it cost £19.00, the same amount that it cost for a Wagyu beef burger or a massive portion of fish and chips. Bit of a joke, would have expected a mushroom to be less….

Absolutely shocking just stood at that bar for 15 minutes waiting to be served and then the bar staff served the people that came in after me and when I mentioned it he said he would come to me next and then continued to serve customers that came in after me absolutely shocking and will not be going back

Superb. Visited for a work lunch and was very impressed. It's really quirky but really well thought out decor. Great food, visited with 8 other chefs from London, and everyone agreed it was top-notch. Had a look at the lodges and left feeling I need to get booked in for a stay. Hope to visit you again soon.

Had a fantastic lunch at the Bell today. Food was delicious really well priced. There was a wedding which was obviously going to take a lot of managing. You would not know it, food was excellent very well timed. Find Rae or James, nothing is to much trouble for these friendly and professional staff. Stay at the hotels it has wonderful rooms. Quirky in the most positive way. Jon Kirstie

Was in Etchingham for our wedding anniversary.. We were recommend The Bell in Ticehurst. Did not stay at the hotel, but looked at the pictures, the rooms look spectacular. We went to The Bell for a pint, we were also looking for some food. The barmaid was able to book us in for dinner. We thought it would be just pub food, we were mistaken. The prices were steep, but when the food came out we understood why. The food was simply devine, and the service was on point. This is not just a pub, but in fact Michelin star quality food.

A really tough review to leave. To be clear, the food was excellent! Sadly, the service (through lack of experience rather than anything malicious) was severely deficient. A party of two we ordered two starters, two mains and a bottle of wine. We were sat outside the front so couldn't open a tab (totally understandable) so was presented with a bill. I explained that the order was wrong (4x mains were included rather than 2x starters and 2x mains). The bartender was very polite and corrected the mistake. The bill came to 108 pounds (not an insignificant amount) and I returned to sit outside. A while later, the mains arrived. The same chap who served us explained that the food would come at th...

The Bell in Ticehurst is nestled in the picturesque village of Ticehurst, which is known for its stunning natural beauty. It's a place where you can find Pashley Manor Gardens, one of the finest gardens in England, and Dale Hill Golf Course and Hotel, a splendid course designed by Ian Woosnam. Now, let's talk about The Bell itself. This cosy and dog-friendly pub has a fascinating history that dates back to around 1560. And let me tell you, the quirkiness of this place is off the charts! Just take a peek at the gents' loo, where the functioning urinals are none other than Wagner tubas. It's a sight you won't soon forget! When it comes to staying at The Bell, you'll be delighted to find seven...
