What Lucie R doesn't like about Marlingford Bell:
Love the place and the food is great, but we were horrified to see a dog being allowed to sit up to the table. We will be thinking twice before we visit again because of this. View all feedback. What hartfamily20 likes about Marlingford Bell:
Found this pub by chance and decided to stay for lunch. Lovely warm welcome, country pub with character. Good food choice, we went for the bar menu and had burgers that were great. Plenty of space inside and out and a good size car park. View all feedback.

Nestled in a charming country setting, this pub offers a welcoming atmosphere and a diverse menu that delights diners. While the food receives high praise, including fantastic burgers and hearty Sunday lunches, some patrons express concerns about cleanliness and maintenance, particularly in the restroom and parking areas. The dog-friendly policy has divided opinions among visitors. Despite these issues, the attentive service and lively events, like jazz nights, have garnered loyal patrons. Overall, the establishment strikes a balance between comfort and quality, making it a recommended spot for casual dining and gatherings.
