When we reopened The Brisley Bell in 2017, our aim was to create a warm and welcoming space where delicious food and good times are shared. To us that meant a proper pub with a large drinking bar and a great beer garden, coupled with consistently tasty food, friendly, attentive service and a relaxed atmosphere where all are made incredibly welcome.
Now there is often a lovely buzz of community life as local drinkers mix convivially with our staying guests & diners and we warmly invite you to come and experience The Brisley Bell for yourself.
