Service was very slow. Several of the dishes that arrived where not what was advertised on the menu eg my daughters “oven baked hake with potatoes and peas” turned up as fish and chips with peas. Food was average to eat but very pricey given quality. Very loud pub and dirty toilets. Will not be back.
Good food but had to wait a while for our table. Friendly waitress but pub very busy due to private function and hard to access the bar
Food was great, hot, which is always a plus, service was good. Was a little noisy where we were in the conservatory area, tricky to hear all conversation. Would go back again.
Lovely place with great staff. Gem of a place overlooking the river Thames. Good car parking too. Good is lovely with great choice. Great stuff!
Good service, tasty pate starter, halloumi and roasted veg skewers small portion and zero presentation + why on earth the coleslaw? Good flavours though. Brownies a bit dry but tasty enough. So food gets an ok but small things could improve it a lot, nice place to visit. Worth it if you're in the area.
Staff very pleasant and the food nice but very cold plates meant our stakes got cold before we had finished. Otherwise we had a pleasant evening.
Service was exceptional and the food too! We love this place and that's why we came here, somewhere special for my birthday. Thanks everyone !
Good food slight mix up with orders but this was rectified very quickly. The main downside with the Bell is parling as people tend to just leave their cars where they fancy making it very difficult to park and on one occasion almost impossible to get. On street parking is fair but you may have to walk some way.
Hats off to the wonderful staff at The Bell. Really busy night and probably too few staff. Whilst they looked like they were under a lot of pressure (and they were) our waitress was pleasant and efficient throughout the evening. (I hope she was given a free drink when her shift was over). A good evening and with 40% off the food, really good value.
Lovely food, good value for money. Would eat here again. Would reccommend this pub for food and drinks. Good atmosphere too. Lovely open fire too.
Really nice pub and restaurant, great food and lovely staff. Smallish menu but they do they do well. Really nice wine menu too. Quiz nights on Sunday too but gets busy :)
Our table was occupied when arrived. We didn't get it. Staff unprofessional, but nice. Our server was unsure of menu. Rib eye steak ordered, was informed quite a bit later that the kitchen had none left. Two tables next to us left dirty and not re-set the whole time we were dining. The food when arrived, was excellent. Service recovery on the steak was good and well received. We would go back. Better training for staff and service standards need to improve.
Good service and great food. The homemade chicken n chorizo pie was excellent. Fish n chips good. Only negative was the Mexican Platter not being available.
It was so cold we had to eat with our coats on, even though we’d booked no table was ready so we were squashed on to a table that was in the walk way, where customers/staff had to squeeze past to get to other tables - staff were very unhelpful
Food was good. Service was a bit slack. 5/10 My well-done steak was lovely. My dining partners rare was almost blue. But they did amend our bill.
Service was excellent but food was dreadful!! Fish smelled strange and was very dry, the burger first came out cold, after it was as sent back the replacement came back a little too ‘quickly’ to be freshly cooked, the fries were undercooked! Waitress was excellent, gave us a free round of drinks, but unfortunately this was our second bad experience at the bell and won’t be returning!!
Shame as they served very nice food, but the service left an awful lot to be desired. Appreciate it was busy being a Sunday lunchtime, but they appeared to have plenty of staff on duty. Unfortunately most of the work was only being done by one or two of them and the rest seemed largely clueless. Had to ask for someone to take our order 4 times before someone eventually did! We were also in the extension at the back of the pub and the noise was deafening, so if you get the chance, ask to sit in the main pub which is much quieter. As good as the food was, I wouldn't return in a hurry!
Enjoyable evening and good service. They could do with a few more choices on the menu but what we had was good. Nice relaxed atmosphere.
Really good food, good service. Fantastic can't fault the Bell. Would go every week if we could a great gastro pub.Good beer and wine list.
Great service; fantastic atmosphere and delicious food! Booked last minute and so glad we chose The Bell Inn. The food choices were varied; the price good; quick service and hot tasty food! Brilliant!
Very good meal just what we wanted nothing fancy just a Sunday roast So where to try for sure if you want decent pub grub
Good atmosphere although service a little slow, a very busy night. Food good value and staff eager to please, slight issue dealt with vey well. Will go back.
Lovely food and drink. It all came very quickly. However myself and a friend ordered two different white wines and the waiter mixed them up when he bought them to the table.
I went here for dinner on a Saturday night. The food was good and the service okay (there just were not enough people working it seems to cover both the small number of diners in the restaurant and the bar adequately). The big problem was with the band, which started at 8 PM and continued pretty much to 12 o'clock… The park was full of musicians and every few minutes the lineup changed. Some lineups were good, others definitely not to my taste! Quite frankly this was interesting and lots of people that were enjoying it… But it was way too loud and meant people in the restaurant could not have a conversation as this was totally drowned out by the music. So on a Saturday night I would urge the pub to start the band later, say 9:30 PM. Otherwise I would only recommend the restaurant on a Saturday for people generally looking to sit in silence and listen to music, with very limited opportunities for conversation between the songs
I haven't been there for a while and liked the new menu. Good place to go in and have a quick or leisurely lunch. Nice service and very pleasant experience.

Great food, great atmosphere and good service. Had the ribs which was not on the menu but the manager checked and they had some, had them and they were lovely. Thank you for looking after us.
Nice food, huge Sunday roast. Service okay overall nice place, good location with car park at the rear. Has a nice relaxed vibe and would return.
The service was sluggish. I had to chase the staff to take the order. The food and drink was overpriced for what it was. Dissapointed
Easy to book table and time online, staff were friendly and attentive, providing good service to compliment the good food. We Will consider coming again.
Food was great and the musician who stood in at the last moment due to the booked band cancelling at the last minute was really good, the other customers seemd to enjoy his music as well.
The food was tasty, the portions were ample and with a good wine selection at reasonable prices we had everything we needed. The staff were friendly and we would happily go there again.
Better experience than the last time I went there. Food was good but I think the staff could smile a bit more. Will go again sometime.
Lovely food and attentive service. We Will definitely return to try out some more of the menu. I Recommend the beef burger- tasty and juicy.
Every time I eat here the service let's them down. Surley staff, slow service, people clearing their own tables, staff having to be prompted to bring menus . It's as if they're employed but just not trained at all. Very frustrating as the food isn't bad (although my peppercorn sauce was watery and extremely insipid).
I had dinner here with my teenage daughter. The service was great and the food was good. Not fine dining but very tasty. We had a great evening at the Bell.
Great Restaurant and garden area, ambience very good.. the only reason 5 given is delay in service of our food initially.. took quite a long time for our starter to come and the restaurant was not packed.
Staff were friendly and attentive and the food was very good. My criticism would be that the lunch menu should contain more "light" choices as you don't always want a large meal at lunchtime. Perhaps a choice of sandwich type things would be nice. Overall though, we were very happy with our meal and the place in general.
Great food and friendly staff makes this an ideal location for a meal out with partners, family or for a drink after work. Highly recommend this location
Service. Atmosphere. Food all excellent. Location superb. What better than to enjoy a meal whilst watching yachts on the Thames Staff very welcoming. Will be back!
I have been going to the bell for years its always a lovely place to eat with happy and polite staff the food is very nice and well priced.
Probably the best value roast dinner I have had in a pub for a long time. Excellent quality and quantity and very nicely presented on the plate
Great place, felt like it was in the countryside. Not cheap, but then eating out these days for a family seems to cost £100. Great service, and very friendly
Great food ... great waiter My family and I went on Mother's Day so it was busy and sometimes slow but the food and the service by are waiter was excellent
The Bell in is a lovely pub on the River Thames. I had booked a table in advance, and they were happy to move tables when we asked to. The service was excellent. The food was delicious. I have never had a bad meal there.
The Bell Inn is a great pub. Nice selection of ales and really good food for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. We would highly recommend.
This was an experience not to be repeated. When one is entertaining to be greeted by the news that bills could only be paid by swipe/touch card as they were having problems with their c/c connection and a walk to the nearest cash point half a mile away was called for to settle the bill. The two of the main dishes were quite acceptable, although one questions the need to place a steak pie on top of a melange of creamed potato and cabbage and drench it with gravy. The fried hake when the fish was removed from a thick cloak of batter was quite tasty. The bread served with dipping oil that accompanied a pasta dish was thought to be stale, whilst the oil was strangely served in a small enamel baking dish. Two ice cream deserts were also served in small baking dishes. The presentation was to say the least unusual. However it must be said that we were served by a charming and attractive waitress. I would ad I am a local resident and have dined at The Bell before but doubt I will repeat the experience.
Good option for Sunday lunch. Staff are friendly. There is a good atmosphere, not too loud but not too quiet. Would definitely recommend to others
Our lunch order was taken but then not given to the kitchen, resulting in a 45 minute wait. Luckily we were not on a tight timetable. We were offered free drinks for the delay, however. The food was good, but I think you are sometimes understaffed, which results in service problems (which we have occasionally experienced before).
The food was amazing. Couldn't say anything bad about it at all. Service was good too. Would definitely be returning for food. Drinks are a bit expensive but it's a nice pub. Really good for a quiet romantic dinner
Delicious food and pleasant waitress who explained everything we wanted to know. We'll be back. It was very good value too. Not at all what I expected from a Japanese restaurant.
