Homemade & locally sourced produce
Working with local suppliers, Head Chef, Hervé Stouvenel, creates meat led, fresh and seasonal dishes, full of fantastic flavours, combining classic English cuisine with global influences. The relaxed, laidback atmosphere of the pub is the perfect setting for lingering lunches or scrumptious suppers.
An abundance of drinks…
As a freehouse, the broad selection of ales, beers, wines and spirits means you’re certain to find old favourites or discover new delights. A large range of wines are sold by the glass. Our beers are supplied by local breweries and a range of our gins, vodka and whiskies, from local distilleries.
Stay at the Bell
Like what you see…? Why not stay a little longer. Set in almost two acres of grounds, there’s a choice of six en-suite boutique hotel bedrooms individually designed with a focus on quality, comfort and relaxation.
These award-winning rooms are converted (ground floor) barns that lead directly into the garden. One room is fully accessible. Three rooms are dog-friendly.
