Lovely gem of a place! Friendly service, nice atmosphere and really nice home cooked food. Especially enjoyed the chicken wings!

It was my first time Five Bells. My friends were hosting the quiz there that evening. We were greeted with a smile and were immediately taken to our table in the area where the quiz was. Few things on the menu aren't available but that didn't matter. We picked fish and chips. This was a good choice, such big portions. Really lovely food and the service was quick and super friendly.

Nice pub with good atmosphere! Food was good and value for money 💵 drinks were a bit more expensive than normal 😕 Pool table was good fun and kept the kids interested 😇

We went on a night they had a quiz on, so it was a little noisy. Whilst we didn’t officially take part in the quiz, it added a bit of fun to the evening. This is definitely a locals pub, with several of them plotted up at the end of the bar “holding court” they certainly liked you to know what they were talking about!!

Took the family for a meal on our first night of glamping. As a party with 5 children, we know it can get quite loud. Wait staff were brilliant, lovely efficient, and very helpful. The food was delicious, the chicken wing starter and pigs in blanket were a highlight. Main course went down well, but the biggest highlight was dessert. We were grateful for the non dairy option which was definitely enjoyed by my lactose free husband. Will definitely visit again.

Haven’t been since before Covid, was pleasantly surprised!

Really like this place, it's recently changed owners and the new ones have come up revised menu and better prices.
Right now it's a bit quiet but I hope if things carry on as they are more people find this great little village pub.
