"We decided that following the easing of lockdown rules that we would go back to the bell as my last meal before going away with work for 7months, I almost wish we hadn’t bothered. We booked online but they didn’t get the confirmation and said when we called that they don’t book as there’s loads of room... Walked to the bar and stood whilst the bloke behind it typed away on his phone and then walked off, the girl running it then appeared and apologised, got us our drinks and took menus over to a table for us. Service was very slow it was as if she was running it on her own! The food itself wasn’t bad although there was no pizzas on or steak so the menu was fairly limited. The mains arrived before the starters had been cleared and then came without any cutlery. What I really objected to was the bar full of young lads staring as we went to the bar to pay and the guy behind the bar continuing to chat to his mates rather than serve us, eventually and quite rudely asked if we wanted drinks. Hugely disappointing experience and I will be spending my money supporting some of the better served pubs in the area. A pity, as we used to enjoy the bell inn."

Under new management. The beer is back to its excellent standard. The place is warm and inviting with excellent staff. We're so glad it's back to normal.

Have had mixed experiences here in the past, but it was faultless today. Three roasts- all different- were fabulous. The food was amazing. Service was perfect. Fire lit in the bar. It was really lovely.

Lovely pub garden. I went to this pub on a busy Sunday afternoon and although service was not the quickest, I can appreciate that the whole pub garden was full. We have roast dinners which were lovely. I would definitely visit again. View menu

Our roast dinners were a cut above the norm, but there is nothing pretenious or fancy about this little gem. We sat for hours enjoying the company of the lovely staff and locals, and the talented chef! Our favourite type of pub, loved it, will be back. Did I mention the food was fabulous?!

Well talk about false advertising the pub is nothing like the review on trip advisor, we rang and booked a table for two when we arrived all they were serving were pizza. The pub didn't look like it could serve the food on the site all I can think of is that this pub must have gone through a change of management. I would not take a dog in there to eat very pub not much restaurant. If you want a good beer this is ideal. But they should not advertise it's a restaurant when it clearly is not.

Lovely beer garden. Play area for the children. Free range chickens. Beautiful spot. Pizza for the children was honestly perfect. Red stripe on tap was great. Bad points. Service was pretty average. Mixed roast was an absolute let down. meat well under cooked including pork and well over priced for such a small meal. Small dish of vegetables to be shared between two people. Has potential to be a great pub. We will return as a family but we will stay away from the roast and stick with pizza next time. View menu

We met each other in this pub. We drank there regularly. We loved it, but we moved away. We returned recently. I don't understand how they can get things so wrong. A couple ordering food had to send it back as it was stone cold (it wasn't busy). The beer has always been amazing. Not now. Both the Adnams and Landlord were atrocious. Ended up drinking Carlsberg as the safest bet. Lovely to see a couple of old friends who told us about the new management. They haven't got a clue and it's really sad. I hope they get a grip soon.

Started off well as i booked online. Only to have no confirmation email, I called them to be told they don't use the online system. I booked a table. When we turned up for lunch, they didn't ask my name, we could sit anywhere and i didn't need to bother booking at all. On entering the garden, a man yelled at us to get our masks on; absolutely no idea if he worked there, scruffy man leaning against a shed. Garden looked like a gyspy camp, unlevel wobbly tables, lots of rubbish leaning up against the building. We waited 20 mins, no one came, not even a sighting of anyone so we left. The most strange experience. We won't be going back, it didn't feel safe for the children and it looked like eve...
