"Where do we start… we turned up waited 5 minutes to be seated when we had already booked. Sat down to order, the place was absolutely freezing! We were given menus straight away, and then had to wait for 20 mins to even have our drink orders taken. Whilst waiting I used their WiFi to find after 5 mins my data has been hacked and I have lost all emails accounts, Facebook and Instagram all hacked and been suspended! We then waited another 20 mins for our drinks to arrive so by this time frozen solid for 40 mins with no drinks! We went to place our order to then be told only 1 roast out of 4 was available… asked if the pie had onions.. never got an answer, just found out it did on its arrival! We asked for heating to be turned up, to go and feel that the radiators were stone cold 30 mins later! We then went to order deserts, 3 out of 8 were unavailable! Sever/Manager trying to crack jokes all evening but coming across extremely rude! When it came to pay the machine wouldn’t work, and they were unable to let us know if the money had come out… so they wanted us to use the unsecured WiFi to go onto our internet banking to see if it had come out?!? Also to add for the 3 hours we were in there there was no loo paper in the toilets!"

Nice family friendly pub with nice food : my trip was also made all the better by the wonderful, hardworking barmaid Reese, and her kind co workers.

Totally recommend the pies. They were crammed with filing and really tasty. Staff were really polite, but the service was a little slow, and the veg was luke warm. View menu

Met friends for lunch, the food was lovely as were the staff. We were served by Ben and David, who were just so funny and lovely, but not so much that they weren't professional in they way the conducted themselves. We eat here regularly and highly recommend this pub

About time I wrote a review on this lovely little pub.... Been coming here to the Premier Inn on business for around 6 weeks, mostly with colleagues and occasionally on my own as I did again last night. Our company has been using here for years now. Meals are great and so is the breakfast, which is a godsend first thing in the morning, stay all over the UK and this one is at the top of my list. Great welcoming atmosphere, attentive staff and best of all hot food. David the manager is very friendly, helpful and has a good sense of humour. Keep up the good work team

I have tried just about everything on the menu at The Bell, excluding the breakfast. Food was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully at a fair cost. Staff, I have to say we're amazing. They serve with a smile and always happy to help, which makes the world of difference when you are away from home. I would go as far to say, that it wasn't just our group they had been nice and kind too, as I witnessed a member of staff offering to cook a sausage for a service dog (heart melt moment) Just such a lovely touch and very thoughtful to visiting patrons. Would highly recommend a visit or two.

"We came here on a Sunday afternoon for a Birthday dinner and was very disappointed. We have come here multiple times over the years and the service and food were always great. This time however was completely different. As soon as we arrived for our reservation we were met (eventually) by someone who I assume was the Manager, he went off to prepare our table and then did something else. We were left waiting in the entrance for nearly 10 minutes before someone else took us over. We were sat at the back of the place by ourselves and felt totally ignored the whole time. Probably because we had a baby and pushchair with us, whereas the table next to us that kept ordering wine got all the attention. The Manager was also joking with them about driving home which was not appropriate given how much they had all drank. We all ordered the rib eye steak as medium and all of us ended up with different cuts and variations of cooking. The rib eye was awful and none of us finished as it was fatty and full of gristle. We also asked 3 different people for water for the table and only when I stood up and found someone did we get any. When we were all done we were waiting for the bill which never came so we all got up and walked to the front counter. It should be pointed out that we could easily have walked out as most of the staff were sat around eating their dinner (one girl with her feet literally on the table). Unless this place gets much better service and food quality I would strongly suggest avoiding."
