"I had high expectations for the pizza here as the food is said to be really good and they’ve built an area outside with a pizza oven. Unfortunately the dough and pizza making needs a lot of work. My pizza was undercooked, doughy and floppy as hell. For the price this is totally unacceptable. Anyone who knows and loves good pizza will have been to brick pizza in Norwich, amazing pizzas and you don’t pay more than £13 for a pizza. £14 my pizza was at the bell and it so substandard, I’ve had better pizza at spoons. Also £12 for a margarita is a joke, a margarita is £9 at brick and they’re worlds apart. We ordered a side of fries (also extortionate) and they were undercooked. I don’t mind paying the prices if the food is worth it but in this case it wasn’t and I’m regretting wasting my money. Garlic mayo was good. I’ve also been before for steak and it was lovely. The pizza is just really not worth it"

We had a great meal here. Lovely starters (chorizo and pork scotch egg and some honey glazed bbq pork ribs) and the roast beef and pork were delicious too.

Great welcome, upbeat, as soon as we walked in the pub. Attentive service from the outset followed by delicious food. We would definitely choose The Bell as our first choice, next visit.

We stopped on route to Oulton Broads for a bite to eat and rest. The pub served very good food. The beef sandwich with salad and chips was superb! Would recommend this place to eat at anytime.

We were staying at a local holiday park and we travelled to the bell for Sunday lunch, it was possibly the nicest roast we had ever eaten. Staff were really friendly and the place was very clean. Food came out very promptly after ordering. 100% satisfied

Visitors to the area and chose this pub based on reviews. It was excellent. Top notch food we both went for the venison suet pudding. Puddings were great too. Very polite and professional service and a good vibe in the whole place. We even went back the next day for a couple of drinks. Again the service was very friendly.

Great pub but unfortunately it's food let it down on this occasion. Wwve been here many times but found its hit and miss lately. We ordered two salmon dishes and I specifically asked for my salmon to be pink as it was over cooked in the past but both dishes were very dry! We should have complained but didn't discuss our meals until afterwards when we both said the salmon was very dry and over cooked! Dad had a chicken wrap dish, can't remember what it was called but he said it was dry too and left most of it which is unusal as he normally eats everything on his plate! The fish and chips I was told was good but thats one out of the 4 dishes. Shame as it put us off coming back for food! Think...

"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!"
