A busy day for the staff. They were one person short of beign able to provide a decent level of service. Empty plates left on the table for ages, we eventually cleared them to one side, and had to go to the bar get drinkls ordered. We opted against as desert because we feared such a long wait. The staff working were all very good so I guess the owners clearly had got the staffing numbers wrong.

This was not the usual pub dining experience as all the dishes were clearly cooked from scratch on site. The food was imaginative, beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Service was excellent too.

Consistently welcoming and professional staff front of house and top quality, freshly cooked, well presented and piping hot food from the kitchen. They go about their craft with well practiced efficiency at this lovely inn. It is a joy both to stay and and eat there.

Very warm welcome, once we were actually seen to. The staff were very pre-occupied and almost seemed as if they didn't see us standing at the bar. At one point, they walked from behind the bar even though we were stood there waiting - our plates and glasses were not cleared after lunch for a good hour and when we went in to pay, again the staff ignored we were there. Once acknowledged the staff were really lovely so it was a shame to have that negative associated. As a slight side, our carrots were raw and potatoes dry. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed the beef roast - the gravy was particularly delicious!

Disappointing. The food was rather bland and overcooked and the waiting times were long. To be fair, the restaurant was busy and they were short staffed but we had booked in advance so expected good service.

We've had a couple of recent let downs at food venues and so we were sceptical about coming (although we had been 5 years previous). You have definately restored my faith in eating out and having great food! Thank you :)

Friendly, attentive service from front of house server Freddie. Good choice of options gluten free. Sea bream particularly tasty. Pecan pudding, a nice alternative to sticky toffee.

Fish and chips were good, service was fine. Kids food served on boiling hot plates and with adult cutlery, the kids colouring books and pens etc could do with a refresh. The playground was quite basic. Overall we felt it was a bit pricey but had a nice meal.

It’s was for a Mothers Day lunch and I enjoyed it very much. The food was delicious, the Bell was incredibly popular and really packed but service didn’t suffer as a result. The gift of a little plant was a lovely idea! Thank you very much.
