The Bumblebee

  Weekend break - Had a great stay again at The Bell Inn Rickinghall. Wonderful hosts, great food and hospitality, lovely comfortable rooms in a relaxing atmosphere and central location.

  Friend’s came up for lunch, which didn’t disappoint. The steak was cooked to perfection, the fish and chips were the best my friend had ever had ! Great atmosphere, staff... read more were very accommodating, not rushed and clean toilets. Our dogs were even welcome.

  My brother's 40th celebration. - I dont think I've ever been to a venue which was catering for more than about 6 people per table where someone hasn't winged about something being cold, too small,... read more too long a wait etc. This was CERTAINLY the exception to the rule, especially as the pub itself catered for close to 100 people this particular evening. We had "The Snug" upstairs which was a private room for about 18 of us.

The food and service was second to none all evening and I can not thank the staff enough for giving my brother a special evening to remember. Jordan and her staff bent over backwards to accommodate us at quite short notice and was more than happy to help us out with a few late requests.

I would recommend this pub to anyone wanting a relaxed and value- for- money meal.

  Mr and Mrs Harniman-coote  - We loved the atmosphere and staff were really friendly they made our boxer dog feel so comfortable. The food was fantastic they had a new menu on for the Friday... read more night and it was amazing. The breakfast was lovely and happy hour on Friday always going to be a hit... all the locals were really friendly even with the rugby on. Will definitely be coming back very soon

  We had planned for a meal on the Broads but the beautiful unexpected weather had meant many riverside restaurants were fully booked. So we headed back to the area we... read more had rented a cottage and tried the Bell Inn which I had passed by the previous day (going to the co op!) Very welcoming lady took the booking on the phone and we arrived within the hour. We were a bit early so sat on a table outside for a drink first. Before we could even decide if we needed to order inside at the bar, a friendly chap appeared at the table ready to take our order straight away! Well the food was delicious - butternut squash soup a must! But we wanted to compliment the 3 servers (two chaps and one lady who we assumed was the manageress). Not only were they serving inside and out, taking drinks and food to tables they were also checking in guests to the hotel rooms at the pub. A very well run establishment - friendly helpful staff and tasty food served to a high quality to boot.

  Ate in the Bell two days in a row with two sets of friends. Both times the service was friendly, polite and efficient. The food was great, hot, plentiful and... read more tasty. Very reasonable prices too.

  Spectacular lunch! - Wonderful local pub/restaurant - great atmosphere - staff very friendly and helpful - fabulous selection of food - highly recommend a visit - a real hidden treasure/culinary treat!

  Fabulous lunch with friends at the Bell. Excellent friendly service in a clean covid-safe environment. Plenty of choice on the menu and the food was all superb. Delicious mains and... read more desserts. We will be returning very soon and would thoroughly recommend.

  We stayed 3 nights in a tidy room with a great power shower.
Staff were friendly and the breakfasts were very good . Worth ordering the porridge(request for the... read more next day) - best I’ve had in years!
