"It would have been nice if the children's menus were already on the table as we had previously mentioned having two children during the booking. Our waitress had to go ask what the soup of the day was, which was a bit annoying. It would have been more professional if she had greeted us with the soup of the day and children's menus without us having to ask. While waiting for the soup information, I enjoyed the lovely seafront location with a clear view of passing boats. The restaurant was nicely decorated, and the outdoor seating on the seafront seemed like it would be pleasant on a summer day. However, the smell of smoke coming in whenever someone entered or exited was off-putting. When we ordered, they asked if we wanted the children's meals to come out with our starters, which was convenient. However, I was not happy when the waitress placed my 2-year-old's hot plate directly in front of him, despite warning us it was very hot. This was unprofessional and unsafe. The soup I ordered was more like tomato puree and very salty. It was served in a rustic pot with bread, but the soup was disappointing. My husband enjoyed his whitebait, and the children's meals seemed cheap and not very appetizing. My Belly of Pork was fatty, and the skin was solid instead of crispy. The garlic mash was average, and the vegetables seemed frozen. My husband enjoyed his Classic Combo, especially the tandoori chicken, but agreed that my meal and the children's dishes were substandard. The drinks were okay, but my husband's Bitter shandy was flat. The bill for the family of four with two courses each came to £76, which would have been reasonable if the food had been better. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience and would not return. The staff need better training, especially when it comes to serving hot food to children. I will not recommend this restaurant to my friend who was considering it for her wedding venue."

We went out to dinner tonight, Kathy was charming and attentive, the food was great. Drinks came to the table quickly and we didn't have to wait around. The waitress was lovely and attentive.

"Having been a regular customer for over a decade to The Bell Inn, I was left very underwhelmed this time. Room was lovely and clean as usual, Tom on reception was fab. We chose to dine in the restaurant as normal and booked for 730pm so we had a nice long evening to enjoy eating and drinking. The menu is now very limited compared to previous years, we chose to have 4 starters to share and some rose wine with bread to start. Slight delay on bread, which came crammed on a small plate, which we had to ask for side plates after waiting for the waitress to reappear…the oil and balsamic was awful, there was so much oil chucked in the ramekin we had to ask for another, to pour some off to try and get to the vinegar. Food came out, and was put on table, again had to ask for side plates as we were sharing and still had bread on the other ones. No drinks check. Had to wait at bar to order more. Food was mediocre at best, we both have very good appetites especially after the harbour walk and some wine! but both ended up just picking at it. Ended up going to room with our wine very early, the only other table in the restaurant that was occupied had some sort of problem ordering due to “fryers being turned off” and got sandwiches and chips instead! Slept well as usual. Went for a quick dog walk before breakfast and narrowly avoided being hit by the chef arriving at 845am in the car park. Arrived on time for breakfast at 9am, lovely, lovely waitress served us, ordered full English and pot of tea, partner the same with coffee. Took a sip of the tea and it was barely lukewarm… spoke to waitress who was very apologetic and bought me a fresh one, turns out the rest of the room all had the same problem with tea and coffee as the urn hadn’t been turned on in time see chef comment food came out and was delicious and hot, and top quality as usual, we cleared our plates! Room was spotlessly clean, and the Tyneham hand wash/cream is so good! Overall disappointing as I know how good this place can be, and the first time I’ve ever encountered any problems. As stated before it was not busy in the slightest compared to previous years, so no excuse really. I will return as The Bell holds dear memories for me, I hope next year it will have ironed out these problems and be back to full glory!"
