The Bell Inn - Malvern Hills

Went to the Bell for some drinks with the lads. Prices were reasonable for a village pub. The staff, especially the lady that served us behind the bar, Becky were so friendly. What an atmosphere. Enjoyed it so much we've made it a regular stop. Had a banging pizza too!

Loved the pub. The staff were fabulous. Had a lovely meal in the pretty garden a great breakfast. Sadly, the trip was spoilt by very little sleep. I've never slept on a bed that is so hard. We travel a lot and have never experienced such a rock hard mattress. We both felt awful in the morning. I know you can't please everyone with a mattress type, but this one really needs changing. (Room 5) Sad as we'd have stopped here again on our travels back from Cornwall.

Six adults and two dogs from Sunderland, Northampton and Kent met here before heading to our canal boat holiday. We sat in the spacious garden where we could see covered and open seating, a large kids play area, and the dogs were very welcome. Most of us chose the toasted ciabatta sandwiches and they were substantial. Lovely thick slices of beef or ham and plenty of bacon, brie and cranberry. One person had battered cod and chips and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were supposed to meet at a different pub, but it suffered a power outage that day. That was to our benefit as we really enjoyed our lunch at The Bell

I had been told this was a good place to visit. By chance we ended up passing near to The Bell. I was happy to give it a try when my partner suggested lunch might be a good idea. We had Lily our dog with us. I asked if they could manage a couple of people for lunch with a well behaved dog under the table. We were made very welcome. The lunch menu was limited and had two courses for £12.95. My partner chose a main course of beetroot risotto and apple crumble to follow. I tasted both and they were delicious. I had a bigger problem choosing a dish. No need to moan about my preferences here. However, I ordered a side salad and a portion of chips. The side salad consisted of tired salad leaves and the chips were cool. There is nothing better than a piping hot chip! Mine were not hot at all just about warm. The Bell has a garden area and an outside space which is covered. It is good for families. There are things to entertain children. This pub has a lot going for it and will please a great many people. Its just that the vegetarian options were very limited and cool chips mean I will not rush back in a hurry. A few more vegetarian choices would be welcome.

Needed somewhere to stay for the night as attending a wedding locally. Hosts could not be more accommodating as we added an extra person so 3 of us sharing a room. We had the large family room and so a large double bed and double sofa bed in the room with ample room for all. Everything was spotless! Breakfast was included in the cost and well needed after a late night delicious.
