    star rating  Booked ahead and were seated in the bar area. The good service; friendly and helpful. All the food was delicious. Generous roast dinner with cauliflower cheese, sausage and chips and... read more fish and chips for the children. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was that the the peas with the childrens’ meals were dry and a bit hard so they didn’t want to eat them.

    star rating  Excellent stay, comfy room and excellent food drink and hospitality - Wonderful friendly inn with rooms. The staff couldn’t do enough and managed to fit us in for Sunday lunch when we hadn’t booked and the place was packed. We had... read more a dog friendly room which was an excellent size. It’s just been refurbished so everything was very clean and smart.

    We ate in the restaurant twice and the food was excellent, well cooked and good-sized portions.

    There wasn’t a single thing to find fault with, breakfast was lovely with dishes from eggs Benedict and eggs florentine to a full English. Treats were provided for our dog at every meal and there’s even a doggie menu that includes a roast or fish and chips!

    Exactly what you’d look for for a couple of nights exploring the Suffolk countryside.

    star rating  We stopped off here on the way to Lowestoft for lunch. What a gem of a place. Not only was the food delicious (best fish I’ve had for a long... read more time). But the service was welcoming, efficient and really first rate. The lady who served us was so helpful and we got served really quickly along a relaxed atmosphere. I don’t usually do reviews but I felt in this case that The Bell Inn deserves a fabulous mention. Thanks so much.

  • star rating  We were made to feel welcome from when we arrived until we left. There was a good selection of real ales; light & dark; those tried were in excellent condition,... read more we had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch, the food was very tasty & plentiful. Adding to the atmosphere was the open fire, which was welcome on a cold day! (No smell of smoke either, it drew very well!) We came into contact with several of the people working there, they were all very obliging & looked after us as if we were old friends. We look forward to a return visit at some point, hopefully on a Fri or Sat evening for a live band. It would be worth the 70 mile round trip for us!
