The Bell At Caerleon

It was my first visit here. It was a Saturday afternoon over the coronation. The waitress was very welcoming and the pub is really charming. The food was out of this world!! Gorgeous!! I don’t think I would go anywhere else from now on.. I have told everyone how amazing our meal was. The atmosphere was really good too !! The waitress was on her own but did an amazing job and the chef is amazing!! 5*****

Lovely old pub, serving delicious (if a bit pricey) food and beer. I had the monkfish and prawn curry, which was very flavoursome and left me wanting more. My wife had the fish and chips, also perfectly cooked. The only real negative point is that because the building is old and of stone construction, it's cold. There didn't seem to be any heating at all. I had to put my coat on whilst eating and my wife needed her scarf.

We had our best meals during a six day and night visit to Wales at The Bell Inn, a charming 17th century coaching inn serving updated versions of traditional pub food. Two "foodies" from the U.S. ate two of three dinners here while visiting southeast Wales, using Caerleon as a base. It would have been three nights if we hadn't wasted the first night at an overpriced a la carte restaurant at our hotel. The attached menu doesn't show our best dinner - grilled lamb breast with a delicious herb sauce, grilled artichoke hearts, and grilled gem lettuce (lightly topped with breadcrumbs and parmesean). Fantastic. SAVE ROOM FOR DESERT! Service at The Bell was every bit as excellent as the food. There was a nice restaurant area adjacent to the pub. A nice mix of folks enjoying themselves. Local folks clearly know and appreciate the spot. If it wasn't a bit off the beaten path, I bet it would be a tourist destination. Please give it a try if you're staying in or near Caerleon. You won't regret it.

The Bell Inn in Caerleon is an absolutely fabulous place a wonderful pub I have from my childhood memories 50 years ago. My whole family, including my grandad used to hang out here and have a couple of beers most days a week . Obviously the pub has changed quite a lot over the last years. It is an early 17th century coaching in and actually very close to the Roman burial ground here in Caerleon. It’s a wonderful atmosphere in the pub beautiful gardens outside lovely sitting inside all nestled in a little village just outside of the main town of Caerleon.

First time eating here and will defo return very soon! A small evening dinner menu but everything sounded (and looked) delish! We opted for the sautéed mushrooms and house bread with marmite butter, both super tasty. And for main we had the burger which was enjoyed and the yeast baked cauliflower with butter bean mash which was different and full of flavour - lots of places often don’t make much effort with the veggie option so this was a real treat! The desserts sounded lovely but just didn’t have any room for them so next time! Also was a lovely atmosphere and the best most attentive and friendly services.
