The Bell And Bottle

I visited the restaurant over the weekend with a group of friends I was very disappointed. I ordered a chicken korma and it tasted and looked the same as my friends meal (chicken Tikka Masala). In addition the meal was Luke warm. The wine was served warm and the service was poor. I will not be visiting this restaurant again.

This restaurant has a great location with a nice atmosphere and decor. They offer a good selection of vegetarian options. The service is friendly and very courteous. It's a hidden gem with plenty of parking and views overlooking the countryside and fields at the back. It's perfect for small gatherings and a great spot for families. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area.

We have visited this restaurant on many occasions and never been disappointed with either the food or drinks. Just popped in this evening on the way home for a quick drink some of their fabulous street food snacks. The place was strangely quiet. The food was so good tasty came quickly. The service was excellent, as usual. Check out this great restaurant, whether your looking for a meal or jyst drinks a snack I promise that you won't be disappointed. View menu

Very rude Manager. Went to have some drinks and some food. We preferred to sit outside ..and were told only certain dishes allowed outside. Mainly no meat dishes.. While having a drink outside.. meat dishes were being served to other guests outside. When we queried this with Arun the manager, he got irate and was rude saying we don 't want people like you here...please leave . No customer service ,poor ambience... will not be recommending or visiting back here

Having driven past the restaurant for the past 2 years or so, we took the plunge and booked. Wow, were we pleasantly surprised. Even though it was much quieter than we expected, the food was outstanding. We shared a samosa and chickpea starter that was just amazing. And then I had the Railway Lamb curry and my partner had the chicken shashlik. The plain basmati rice was light and fluffy while the paratha was as amazing as paratha can be. If you are in the mood for a amazing Indian meal, please pop in, you will not be disappointed. Support local!!

I am writing this review because I believe that some of the reviews here are unfair or biased. My wife and I went to the restaurant on a Saturday night. There was a private event happening and a large group already dining there. Despite the busy night, we found the service to be excellent and the staff very attentive. We were informed that there might be a delay in receiving our food due to the large number of people already in the restaurant, but the wait was minimal. The food was delicious. The ambiance was simple, but the food and service were good, so I would give it 4 stars. View menu

My partner had booked a table for her 50th birthday for 15 people. They asked to be sent menu choices the day before, which she did via the email on their website. Late morning on the day of her pert, she noticed she had a send failed in her email. The email on their website was wrong, when we arrived with all the choices written out for them, they said the booking was cancelled as they hadn’t received the order!! They said they had asked in WhatsApp, and she should have WhatsApp choices not emailed!!! They never considered contacting her about her confirmed booking!!! Appalling attitude, unhelpful to the point of rude!!! Take my advice at avoid this place at all costs!!!!

Well, the food certainly doesn't deserve a 2* review. Not the best I've had, but certainly acceptable and no cause for complaint there. We were the only 3 people there, waited almost 20mins before anyone came. We could've robbed the place! More to the point, we very nearly went elsewhere. Waiter seemed nice enough. However, the service was appaling. No communication, long waits for the food, cold plates. We then objected to paying a 10% service charge, due to the service being so bad. We had no problem paying for the food itself, as that was quite good. But adding on 10% ? I thought tipping was discretionary in this country? Improve your service Javatri, stop adding on 10%, most people after...

Our second time here and it was a mixed bag. Service was initially slow, but another staff member took over and it was much better. Our starters were excellent. The Chicken 65 was a good sized portion, colourful with nice flavours and spice. The salt and pepper Mogo was cooked to perfection the inside was soft, like a potato chip. More often than not the Mogo has a slightly tough, fibrous texture to it. This however was the best made one I have had The mains were nice, but not in the same league as the starters. Naan bread was a bit doughy and to be honest did not taste like it had been freshly made, it was slightly hard and chewy. Butter chicken was nice but a bit unmemorable, nothing outst... View menu
