The Bell pub is on the opposite side of the road to the Bell Hotel. Pleasant & clean with a tidy bear garden at the rear. Greene King IPA & Abbot Ale. Top marks to the gents toilets which was immaculate. Food wise we were a bit wary having read some of the comments below however it was above average pub grub & there were no problems. We also tried the wasabi nuts which are a great accompaniment to a beer

Awful. Just awful. Woburn is a picturesque, nay upmarket sort of place and whilst this inn may look the part it certainly doesn't measure up when it comes to the quality.

Food was abysmal. For example, the salmon special was a ropey piece of fish no bigger than a deck of playing cards, served with (count 'em) 4 new potatoes the size of golf balls.

The vegetable chilli came out as a curry. Does chef know the difference or is it just because they're all spicy so nobody cares.

The rib eye steak - asked for rare - came out so well done you could have nailed it to the bottom of your shoes and taken a turn round Woburn safari park in it without it reducing by a millimetre. When it was rejected they should have asked the surly waitress to just stare daggers at it to grill the replacement sufficiently.

There are plenty of other alternatives in Woburn so do yourself a favour and steer clear of this one.

A mixed experience. The restaurant messed up our reservation meaning one of our party had to sit on a separate table behind a pillar. They didn’t seem to have prepared enough deserts so we had 4 very hastily defrosted cheesecakes which were either still frozen or warm from the microwave. The owner refused to reduce the bill which resulted in an argument – not a great end to our evening. On the up side this is an attractive venue with attentive staff and aside from the desert issue, the food was good.

Strange place, really. Tiny bar area, and so mostly all casual restaurant. Had a perfectly nice meal, though, so will probably be back at some point in the future.

Agree with the previous comment, but would add that most of the 'pub' is really the restauarnt for the hotel which is (curiously) located on the opposite side of the road.
