| Impressive cider and perry menu, lovely interior, Benny Hill jokes in the toilet to keep you occupied. Friendly staff, always willing to give extra information about the ciders, and very ready to help out with any questions. Food was well priced, some original dishes, very large portions and very well cooked. High standards all round, huge cheeseboard (the landlord said he had put on some extra, seeing that we were two). Pretty damn good place! MarkVP - 9 Sep 2011 12:14 |
| Visited on BH Monday. Not much has changed since last visited in 2008!Very nice welcoming pub. Beer choice OK with Vale of Glamorgan and Wickwar available alongside Wells Bombardier. Excellent range of ciders of perry's (around 20 in total). Didn't try food but others said it was good, if a bit pricey, but then it is a gastropub so not surprising. Would visit again if in area. defrakev - 6 Jan 2011 16:32 |
| Nice old world inn,with rear garden terrace pity this was spoilt by a large koi carp water tank.Looked warm and inviting the building that is. The specials board had sausage/bubble squeak/etc on at £8.00p.On perusing the menu the prices were steep,you can get a michelin starred chef at these prices over the smoke.So did not avail of the dining experience which these prices should afford.I probably suspect that this place is one for the executive person and or other persons who are prepared to dole out the high prices,but not me alas.. james55westhead - 8 Oct 2009 20:00 |
| I visited The Bell last Wednesday evening with friends and what an experience. The place was packed and the atmosphere was amazing. This old coaching inn,I think dates back some 400 years and I have to say the chracter and charm of the place does shine through. Traditional Celtic folk music was being performed at the pub which made our dining experience even more memorable. The selection of real ales and ciders was very extensive, the pint of Celt Gold I enjoyed was superb, my mate had a pint of Black Dragon cider which he said really hit the spot. I also noted a number of CAMRA awards above the fireplace. The staff were warm and friendly, also we didn't get that 'head turning' you get sometimes when you walk into a strange pub. It felt really warm and friendly. I could wax lyrical about the food but needless to say it was excellent, my partner had the smoked salmon and walnut salad to start which was very good indeed. It was all cooked to perfection, the fish was particularly good. Oh and to top it off they even had a great wine list, we enjoyed a lovely bottle of Chateauneuf-du-Pape with our dinner. The Bell is a great pub for 'grown ups' we will certainly be calling agian soon. taffyt - 25 Sep 2009 16:31 |
