Very warm welcome, once we were actually seen to. The staff were very pre-occupied and almost seemed as if they didn't see us standing at the bar. At one point, they walked from behind the bar even though we were stood there waiting - our plates and glasses were not cleared after lunch for a good hour and when we went in to pay, again the staff ignored we were there. Once acknowledged the staff were really lovely so it was a shame to have that negative associated. As a slight side, our carrots were raw and potatoes dry. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed the beef roast - the gravy was particularly delicious!

Disappointing. The food was rather bland and overcooked and the waiting times were long. To be fair, the restaurant was busy and they were short staffed but we had booked in advance so expected good service.

Plated food not hot enough. Sea Bream dish rather sparse on vegetables. Would have liked a choice of custard or cream with puddings.Relaxing atmosphere though.

We've had a couple of recent let downs at food venues and so we were sceptical about coming (although we had been 5 years previous). You have definately restored my faith in eating out and having great food! Thank you :)

Friendly, attentive service from front of house server Freddie. Good choice of options gluten free. Sea bream particularly tasty. Pecan pudding, a nice alternative to sticky toffee.

Fish and chips were good, service was fine. Kids food served on boiling hot plates and with adult cutlery, the kids colouring books and pens etc could do with a refresh. The playground was quite basic. Overall we felt it was a bit pricey but had a nice meal.

This pub is the most amazing place for drinks and food. We love summertime here and we also love winter here. Just had an amazing Sunday roast and drinks. Food is beautiful and the staff are so attentive and assertive. We try and come every week.

It’s was for a Mothers Day lunch and I enjoyed it very much. The food was delicious, the Bell was incredibly popular and really packed but service didn’t suffer as a result. The gift of a little plant was a lovely idea! Thank you very much.

Superb food, friendly and welcoming staff, comfy and cosy pub. I have Coeliac disease and my husband has an egg allergy and they were so relaxed about it and didn’t make it a big thing - menu was clearly marked. Would thoroughly recommend and will be back!
