What OpenTable Diner doesn't like about The Five Bells:
Slow service. Lots of menu not available. How can you run out of chicken! Food took forever to arrive. Table was not cleared properly. Had to put empty glasses on table next to us. Had to physically get up to get service. Toilets were not clean and no loo paper. Not acceptable! What's happened Five Bells? This is not normal for you View all feedback. What OpenTable Diner likes about The Five Bells:
Nice relaxing lunch with friends not rushed at all. We just had starters, waitress was very helpful suggesting we order extra bread for the pate, 2 slices are never enough. View all feedback.

Despite some negative reviews regarding slow service, unavailable menu items, and cleanliness issues, the Five Bells restaurant still managed to receive positive feedback on aspects such as atmosphere, friendly staff, and overall dining experience. Customers enjoyed the welcoming environment and tasty food, with recommended dishes being the Fish and Chips and Mushy Peas. The restaurant also received praise for accommodating customers, with one reviewer mentioning that their meal was taken off the bill due to dissatisfaction. While there were some inconsistencies in food quality and temperature reported, the service and dining experience seemed to have left a positive impression on most customers. Overall, it seems like Five Bells has the potential to improve its offerings and maintain its reputation as a great dining destination.
