What Michael Cole likes about The Bell:
Once again the Bell is always good for entertainment and a good evening. Could do with the usual spruce up and serve a bit of grub/snacks. Always can have a dance and last time there was a really good singer. KEEP OUT THE KIDS. The trade ain't worth it or sell tickets for drinks at a certain time with ID.

The village pub is lovely overall, but one of the staff members working at the bar was incredibly unpleasant and unwelcoming towards me during my last visit.

The Bell, a charming village pub, offers a blend of lively atmosphere and community spirit. While many patrons appreciate the warm service and diverse food offerings, recent visits reveal inconsistencies. Reports of unwelcoming staff and abrupt service dampen the experience, alongside conflicting information about food availability due to kitchen issues. However, when the kitchen is operational, guests rave about the delicious, freshly prepared meals, including enticing Caribbean dishes. Overall, The Bell shines with its vibrant ambiance and live entertainment, making it a noteworthy stop—provided the service and food situation align.
