"My mrs had just done a 6 day shift at the hospital so I thought I’d treat us to a Sunday lunch we arrived at 1300 (on a Sunday) and the place was dead. Friendly waitress took us to a table and we ordered drinks then we were told that due to an event they weren’t doing Sunday lunchif we’d been told upon arrival they weren’t doing Sunday lunch we wouldn’t have stayed. The alternatives were terrible, my mrs is vegetarian so she ordered a vegetarian pie with seasonal veg a few minutes after ordering someone came along and asked her if she was vegan or vegetarian as the pie has meat in it. When we asked her what she meant she seemed to not know what vegan or vegetarian meant, she muttered and wandered off. we didn’t see her again, and we still don’t understand what she meant. The seasonal veg was. Over boiled frozen peas and a tiny dollop of mash. Oh and gravy, we couldn’t be bothered to ask if the gravy was vegetarian, but I am 99% sure it wasn’t but she needed it to drown the dry mash and peas. I ordered the mixed grill, it was terrible , if you’ve ever wondered how thin a gammon slice needs to be before it’s just bacon dine here.. the thinest gammon I’ve ever seen, but also the fattiest, a lump of chicken that looked and tasted like it had been boiled, and a steak that was so tough (no steak knife was offered) that I had to ask for some sauce to mask the flavour (I never eat steak with sauce). I can’t be bothered to describe the kids pasta , but he didn’t eat it. My mrs hates it when I make a fuss so I bit my tongue (nicer than the steak lol), but at the end I had to say something and we got our drinks taken off the bill. I also flashed the Mrs’ blue light card and got more off the bill. Disappointed."

The restaurant had a warm and cozy atmosphere, with very polite and helpful staff. The food was delicious, and the low-alcohol beer from their brewery was one of the best I've ever tasted. I had no hesitation in giving them a 5-star rating.

Greeted by girl with holes in her tights. Sat next to very LOUD coffee machine! Gammon was grissly, lasagne was dry, very disappointing. Not restaurant quality. New management we wanted to support them but won't go again. Shame. Vegetarian options: Sausages were unavailable lasagne was dry! Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 1

We decided to stop by The Bell while passing by. We were greeted warmly and enjoyed the delicious food. The noise from the football game was a bit loud for my liking. Prices range from £20 to £30 per person. The food and service both received a perfect score of 5, while the atmosphere was rated a 4. There is plenty of parking available, with a free parking lot as an option. View menu

Ordered drinks with no ice but wanted lemon. I was told they don't have lemon and arrived with ice. My meal arrived without the veg as per the menu so had to make a request for the veg. Also had a slice of lemon on my fish dish despite being told they don't have any. Asked for a hot drink to finish my meal and told they don't have milk. No thank you or acknowledgement from staff when leaving. Pretty shoddy experience for a first visit and won't look to return.

Just had an awful experience at The Bell in Stoke Mandeville. I never usually write reviews but the service and the food were so bad that I feel its needed to help with improvement or at least save others from making the mistake of eating there. Firstly, all the tables were dirty in the empty pub and the very unwelcoming and rude waitress gave us a cloth to clean our table despite the fact she was clearly not busy at all. We then ordered nachos and a ploughman's that were both awful and made with the cheapest of ingredients. My nachos had been nuked in the microwave so much that the cheese had solidified to rock hard making the nachos inedible. I complained to the waitress who got my another...
