The Bell - Menu

Following a recent refit and new management taking over, Dan and Genty, The Bell is a great place to eat. The food is fab, and there is a great feeling about the place. Well worth a visit, I am loving the authentic Pie and Mash.

We came to the Bell for a family lunch with adults, child and dog. The staff were really lovely with nothing too much trouble. Food was very good, tasty and decent portions. The dog was made very welcome with water and treats. Will gefinitely be...coming back

First visit to this well presented roadside pub on the main road between Danbury and Chelmsford, Essex. Clean and tidy main bar offering UBU by Purity Brewery and Dirty Tackle by Wychwood Brewery also a range of draught lagers and a draught cider....It offers a good pub grub menu including a particularily generous “All day breakfast” A cheerful and friendly welcome.

First visited for coffee after a few of us had been for a walk . In our newly formed walking group When we told the owner we had been on a walk we were told welcome to leave our cars so long as we put...a note on . What a welcome to change We now walk regularly and have post walk food and drinks Good menu the vegetarian baguette is outstanding and the coffee excellent My favourite pub in Danbury by far

We had a small gathering for my mum’s birthday at the pub. Genty and Dan are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. From the organising to the day its self they did a brilliant job. They made the day really special for my mum! The...Food was lovely and they decorated the pub for the day. We even stayed for pie and mash that night which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend! We has such a lovely day ! thank you !

Disappointed that an automatic service charge is now added to the bill since our last visit. No mention of this on the menu or when making payment. Also car park has had some clay like top dressing applied which because it was a damp...day was very sticky and transferred to my car when leaving. The potholes were not fixed and were quite deep in places. Service was good but our seating area was cold so we kept our coats on.

Together with some friends we booked lunch at The Bell last week our first visit and will definitely be returning! Very welcoming and friendly the beer was kept superbly (plus it's a free house so changing guest beers). A good varied menu,...the food itself was excellent and reasonably priced all of us thoroughly enjoyed our food (and if they have spare ribs on the menu go for them, they are superb!!! Of note was the way also that they had implemented Covid restrictions very very good indeed. Would definitely recommend and we most certainly will be returning soon!

Called in today for lunch after shopping Chelmsford on our way home. Not been here since lockdown, asked if we could bring our dog in which wasn’t a problem. Shame a few items were not on the menu as they had run out last night,...but that said there was still plenty of nice items of food to choose from. Our drinks arrived while looking over the menu nothing worse than waiting for drinks) order taken for food and a water bowl brought over for the dog. Food arrived after about minutes I think, looked good and both meals tasted fine, my wife had the salmon from the specials board which looked and tasted very good, not that there was anything wrong with mine but hers was better ha ha. When meal...

This pub is a stone’s throw from another pub and for some inexplicable reason we have always opted for the other one. What a mistake! We took our year old son for Saturday lunch and were SO impressed from the second we walked in....The Landlady and bar staff who appeared to be family were GENUINELY friendly and welcoming…no false pretence, just nice people…the bar was very nice and clean, restrooms spotlessly clean. Appeared to have ample rooms and additional function rooms. The menu was varied and perfect for pub lunch with sharer platters etc. We ordered some Brie sticks and to our shame were not expecting the quality of them (fallen in to that trap in pubs before). Homemade and beautifull...
