A nice lunchtime at the Eight Bells with my partner and her little one. Reserved a table (which is required) and bought drinks, then used the soft play area, which the little one thoroughly enjoyed. Then went through and ordered food using the handy app, staff were friendly and welcoming and the food didn't take too long to come through considering how busy it became. My partner had the hunters chicken with straight fries and I had the (2 x 4oz) cheesy porker burger with an extra patty and was able to customise the bacon (I like crispy), with a portion of coleslaw and fries. All were cooked very well and tasted lovely... Eating area was well presented, good facilities for kids, there is an extra area at the back of the premises for walks and a duck pond, especially good in the warmer weather. Good sized car parking area with level entrance for accessibility requirements. Well worth the visit...
Our food was great value for money and we all enjoyed it. We wanted somewhere child friendly and this fitted the bill perfectly. Huge play area to keep them entertained. Staff all super friendly.
Great pub with a brilliant soft play area for kids. We stopped in on a raining day and found the place a lifesaver for a nice meal and entertainment for the kids-the outside seating area and kids play equipment looked lovely too-will be back on a sunnier day to try them out!
Lovely place, ran by a great team, always nice and responsive. Good local food, variety beers on tap. Pleasant homelike atmosphere
Had a lovely family meal here at the eight bells yesterday. The food was amazing and excellent service. We love the fact that we can take our son along and he can play in either the indoor play area or on the park in the garden too. We enjoyed our evening as always.
A little gem pub, we had a lovely lunch there, service was fantastic and staff were really nice. Food was gorgeous so we are going back today before our holiday ends.
Nice family place to visit, I visited here on a Friday it was quite quiet at mid day.
There is plenty of things for the kids to do outside from swings, play equipment, bounced castle and more, a few it's of play equipment has seen better days now but it is all looked after and clean, the outside area is a lovely place to sit with some nice views. The car park is a good size as well. We didn't have any food this visit but when we have in the past we have not been disappointed.
Updated review as I don't think I gave this place enough credit. Many of times we have dined now and it never dissapoints, great food (especially the different specials), great service, inside soft play area, outside play park with views of the river and wildlife, plenty of parking. The cost is more than reasonable as well, roughly 40-50 £ per visit which is great price for the quality and quantity you get. Below is the Spanish Chicken Breast with Home Made coleslaw. It looked so good I almost forgot to take a photo.
This is a good restaurant/put a warm welcome and very family friendly. The only criticism is the lasagne was a little dry but all the other mains and deserts were great. A large garden with park and lake at the rear and soft play area inside with parents responsibility to their own children.
Great pub, like a tardis, looks tiny from the road but stretches back to a beer garden and play area. Dog friendly, food was good value and staff friendly.
