View all feedback. What keith47 doesn't like about The Bell:
Been here before but standards have slipped. Firstly my granddaughter of 9 is given a child's plate (no offer of a proper one) then the three of us are given the same miserly microscopic portions of meat as she had received. View all feedback.
