Bar Area

Whether you are catching up with friends and family or just passing through, the Bell is the perfect place to sit back and relax, with local guest ales, craft largers, gin shelf, open fire in the winter months, board games, communal book exchange, cosy corners and a great atmosphere. 

Dog treats and beers are available for your four-legged friend. Our dog treat suppliers are Sir Woofchester’s.  

We won ‘Pub of the Year 2024’ at the Velvet* Food & Drink Awards in June 2024 and here’s what the Judge had to say…

Says judge Giles Luckett: “Last year’s runner-up is this year’s winner. The Bell is a traditional country pub with an extensive menu ranging from the expected (Homemade Pies) to the exotic (Jackfruit burger). Most importantly, it’s dog-friendly and treats were provided on arrival. Portions were plentiful, there was a choice of alcohol-free beers – helpful as most people will have driven – and the staff were friendly and accommodating. It was also good value. They have rooms and it would be a fine place to stay as you explore the pretty village and the surrounding area.”

An ideal place to catch up with friends over a few Drinks, Snacks and Board Games.

We also have a great selection of Toys, Games and Colouring for the little ones too.
