The Bell & Chimes Restaurant

A very friendly welcome from Samantha on our arrival. Food was excellent. We had the steak pie - it was one of the best ever eaten !! Generous portions and hot. The restaurant has just recently reopened so really pleased we stopped to eat there. Would recommend giving it a visit.

I first visited for Sunday lunch, and it was absolutely delightful. The beef was perfectly tender, accompanied by fresh, flavorful vegetables and roast potatoes that tasted just like my mum's! The staff were warm, friendly, and provided service with a genuine smile. It was such a great experience that, in the words of Arnie, "I’ll be back!" And I did return—this time for a musical bingo night. What an incredible evening! The atmosphere was buzzing, the event was brilliantly organized, and everyone seemed to be having a blast. It’s not just a place for a great meal but also for fun and memorable experiences. Highly recommend this gem, whether you're after a delicious meal or a fantastic night out!

Spent an off chance lunch with 2 friends. Chose soup of the day. Chicken and veg came with chunk of bread and butter. Generous portion plenty of meat and veg home made. We all loved it and would order same again and recommend. Bumped into a group of friends who were there for dinner and could see that any choice off the menu would be great. staff really friendly and polite. Plenty of parking.

The Bell has a nice menu of bar snacks and more substantial meals. We stopped during a dog walk, the bar maid brought our food out to the patio seating and a few minutes later returned unprompted with a bowl of water for the dog. Excellent beer, food and service.

Under new management from June 28, 2024. Now managed by Nathan (who cooks) and Samantha (manages front of house), the Bell is very friendly, with good food and large outdoor seating area. Separate Sports Bar showing Sky Sports and TNT Sports across 3 screens with a pool table. This is totally separate from the main bar, so caters for all tastes. Bell Burger (pictured) was approx £14. 3 baskets from a choice of six for £10 was very good value. My daughter raved about her burger and onion rings: very light crispy batter. My spicy chicken strips (not pictured) were awesome; dirty fries (choice of chilli (pictured) or curry) were also excellent. Will be back soon to sample the fish and chips. Thanks Nathan and Sam!

Just wanted to say what a lovely day we had at The Bell on Christmas Day. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Samantha and her warm, friendly staff. Great Christmas atmosphere. The dinner was amazing - hot, tasty and excellent value for money. I’ve had many festive dinners in the local area this year and this was the best by miles. Thanks to everyone involved. We’ve already booked for next year!!!!

Mostly fantastic, food was fresh and tasty and good value for money, service can't be faulted. Unfortunately seating was sticky and not very comfortable.

Update: 10 of us booked for sunday roast and what a fantastic meal it was! See my photos, everyone had a big smile. Lovely staff, good prices. Big thankyou to Deb the barmaid who always works so hard! A credit to your team. Now under new management it's the return of The Bell ! Some of the old ream, and a nice new manageress to get it back on its toes! Benefitting from a good deep clean, and brighter lighting its ready to welcome old and new customers back. Friendly service, Biker's welcome, onwards and upwards! Good luck to all !
