Was Heather Moore at Five Bells Public House a mag?
It was my first time Five Bells. My friends were hosting the quiz there that evening. We were greeted with a smile and were immediately taken to our table in the area where the quiz was. Few things on the menu aren't available but that didn't matter. We picked fish and chips. This was a good choice, such big portions. Really lovely food and the service was quick and super friendly. Price per person: £10–20 View all feedback.
What Andrew dislikes about Five Bells Public House:
Have always loved Five Bells, whole family do but went for lunch today and was our first poor experience there. Handed a list of all the food not available, the sandwiches we had were a mess and couldn't hear ourselves over the music blasting out of the kitchen (I think it was techno, possibly rave). The staff could obviously hear it but did nothing about it until we mentioned it at the end of the meal, then it went... View all feedback.

Travelled from suffolk to meet up with some friends from London and to have a meal,meet up was great but the meal was really poor,6 roast dinners and all totally bland,no taste whatsoever then ordered 6 deserts which took almost 40 mins for them to turn up,asked the waiter how long they were going to be at one point and were told that the chef was really busy and it was tough....4 of the deserts were Eton mess which when they turned up were a joke,more like ice cream and cream,the waitress did not charge for the deserts which was a help but sadly to say we wont be returning.The manager never even apologised as we walked past him and went to sit in the beer garden.....nice pub but sadly the food lets it down.
