Not a bad little pub, great location but the beers nothing special. Seems to get the only chavs in town as regulars. Have been offered out for a fight twice when passing late evening. Quite odd for Rye.

spent a couple of days in rye during the scallop festival we went to the bell for lunch and had the best scallops ever. the menu was a good all rounder (tapas great had that too!!) my partner had a harveys very nice and wine was chilled and crisp. would go back to sit outside in the summer and watch the world go by.

As the menu in the Ship inn wasn't that appealing I wondered to the YE OLDE BELL INN.
A small place with only London Pride on draught.

As I was hungry I had a ham egg and chips which was very expensive at £8. Then again the ham was nice and didn't taste like the A*** or T**** cheap stuff.

Had a pint in here the other week while away in the picture post card town of Rye. I like seeing the real side of place when I go away and coming in here I felt I did. The young bar staff and punters looked bored but seemed happy enough chatting and were willing to service the customers when they came in. It might be a bit like “a feel like the parents had gone away and left their son in charge” but so what? After spending a few days in Rye you get the feeling that the people that live there deserve their own place. Gastro-pub-goers and those looking for quaint 16th century tavern experiences can try elsewhere.

This was once a good pub with a selection of ales, but on my last visits, they’d just had London Pride and Harveys. Dull. Another chap on Beer in the Evening described the place as having “a feel like the parents had gone away and left their son in charge”. I must agree with that sentiment. It did come over as something of a “youth club”.
We downed a pint of London Pride, which wasn’t bad, but was the worst pint of a day spent in several pubs in the town.
