What DWoollyTraveller doesn't like about Bells Fish:
Bells is a nice restaurant on the square, close to the cathedral and the shops. The service was quick and friendly, but we found the cod to be average. Nothing wrong with it, but we've had better. View all feedback. What 765AndiSc likes about Bells Fish:
Our server Evie took our orders, explaining that the meat pie would take a little longer to cook than the fish. Our drinks order arrived soon after, within 10 minutes our main course had arrived. Massive portion sizes of chips and the fish was delicious. My husband’s pie was cooked to perfection. Well done Bells and thank you Evie for great service. View all feedback.
