Bell, Biertonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The 'stand-out' pub in Bierton, bright and airy (whatever that means) with a good range of Fullers beers - a little pricey as usual for Fullers pubs in Bucks.

I travel past this pub almost on a daily basis and have been tempted by the signs "Home Cooked Food" and other notices praising their fayre. So early one Wednesday I went in. Imagine my delight when I saw one of my favourite Fullers Beers on draught. Imagine my disappointment when I was told it was off, so I ordered another beer only to be told thats off too, sorry! Feeling disgruntled I decided to eat so was shown the menu, I decided to have HomeMade Shepherds Pie, after waiting for 10-15mins I was told that was off too! Sorry! So I ordered a pie, after 20 mins a soggy pie floating in gravy turned up with some tepid veg along with some pathetic excuse that the chef wasn't there tonight. I walked out for good. Shame as it could have tremendous potential.

Nice little pub. Good food, good beer. It's very small but everyone's friendly. If you're not into football, don't go when there's a match on - the TV and cheering / shouting can get very loud!

wow! what a pleasant surprise just popped in for a quick drink and then stayed for the session. After sampling the home made steak / ale pie finishing with treacle pud, I discovered that this little village pub has quite rightly been featured in the Good beer guide for as long as most of the locals could remember. Thanks to all who helped me to enjoy the delights of this lovely little pub. Your round Ray Cheers!

The sign outside said 'Small Pub, Great Food' which suited our needs perfectly. Or so we thought. The pub lacked atmosphere and the toilets were grim. The food looked like a school dinner - served on 60s style crockery. The roast beef with 'all the trimmings' consisted of wafer thin slices of beef, drowned in gravy, with a bit of wilted cabbage and some potatos. No fresh crisp vegetables here. Considering we arrived bang on opening time for lunch, the rather dry and sad looking side salad looked like it had been out all night. Overall - a big disappointment and we won't be going there again.

Food not bad and reasonably priced, but the place is stark and has no atmosphere. Not the place to go for a romantic night out!

A few years back this used to be a very pleasant pub. Then it started to go downhill. The beer was naff more often than not. I think the Landlord and Landlady retired. I'm glad to say it's back to being a very pleasant pub. The new(ish) landlord has given the inside a coat of paint, the food menu looks pretty good and the beer, Fullers, is Cask Marqued. All in all worth a visit.
