Lovely pub, food was spot on, atmosphere was just right. Thankyou to all staff. 3rd July.

The Bell in Carlton Colville offers a mix of positive and negative reviews. While some diners found the food disappointing, others praised both the food and the service. The inconsistent quality of dishes, especially the steak and salmon, stood out to some guests. However, others enjoyed the delicious food and attentive service, recommending dishes like the Fish Pie and Scotch Egg. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, along with the great staff, received high praise overall. The restaurant caters well to different occasions, whether it's a casual family meal or a special celebration, making it a recommended spot for locals and visitors alike.
