| Why would local_person rather have a down market Hungry Horse??? Bell refurb is fab and quality of food and wines is well worth the price Spritzers - 3 Sep 2008 22:32 |
| I personally have stopped going to the Bell after many years - shame coz it's a 5 min walk from me but the prices are ridiculous! and it's not the place to go for a quiet drink with one friend - there are no small tables - you feel stupid sitting at a huge table for 8 people just two of you! It has become more of a restaurant than a pub ... bring back the old Bell with the cheap drink and huge well priced pub meals - we don't need another restaurant in Fetcham - we need a good old fashioned pub!

| Ahh the wonderful Bell in Fetcham.....hmmmm.. Well I have lived here for 15 years now and seen many changes good and bad. It used to be a classic "spit 'n' sawdust" pub with a public and saloon bar, pinball table, darts, fruit machine, warm beer etc etc and to be honest I actually liked that but times moved on and several transitions later (remember the Hungry Horse with its frozen food!...ahhhh...) its now more akin to a swanky wine bar in Kings Road.....and guess what...the prices match! If you buy two drinks, don't expect much change from a £10 note, one type of lager is £4.10 for a pint and a white wine spritzer is circa £5. No kids are allowed after 9pm, miserabvle gits, theres no real garden anymore to speak of as its been sacrificed for the restaurant, but you can sit outside and inhale the carbon monoxide from the road while sitting on expensive garden furniture...nice. The current landlord is not at all friendly or chatty, prefering to moan at you if you haven't drunk up at 11.01pm The food has improved which is one bonus but the prices reflect this. I can't help but feel that Youngs have simply seen a one pub village in an affluent area and set prices to match. I for one will not be visiting this pub very often which is a real shame as its 5 mins from my door. Take my advice, go to the Anchor in Bookham. h3rm1t9536 - 19 Jun 2008 11:43 |
| On arrival the ID Police were out in force, but once past this, the cold beers were served alongside an excellent cajun tomato soup and home made bread. The surroundings are comfortable, spacious and the staff friendly. Lacks a certain pub feel, more restaurant than pub, but has a large heated smoking area outside and plenty of outdoor seating. Several sofas inside plus a restaurant area. Two pints of lager; Kronenbourg and Peroni came to about £7.50. Also, the toilets are in a class of their own - very clean - refreshing for a pub toilet. Overall this is an excellent place to visit for a few pints and a bite to eat. cb2k4 - 27 Jan 2008 17:25 |
| Have visited The Bell before and after it's most recent refurb. Looks clean, tidy and welcoming with additional feature of a timber covered heated area outside for smokers. The only downside is the price of the drinks. £3.40 a pint and the menu hasn't been updated since the last landlady left so I was hoping for a bit more imagination from the Chef....change of hands change of menu. It's OK but could take a few tips from another Youngs Pub, the Hand & Spear at Weybridge....great place to visit instead. SpangledCat - 25 Jan 2008 17:12 |
