Quite literally one of the best pubs in England and it has been run by the Macaulay family for over 250 years. The landlord and staff are always welcoming, and the beer is always on form. Grade 2 listed interior, lovely beer garden. And a big selection of rolls are available with generous fillings.
This pub is national treasure, you must visit.
Love this place. For me the best pub in the UK! Friendly service. A decent selection of ales at a good price. Didn't eat this time but the rolls are amazing. Lovely garden or watch the world go by out the front. Perfection!
Lovely unspoilt old school pub with very friendly landlord and staff. Serves hot rolls with ham, cheese, prawns pickles and onions etc and really good local beers. It’s how pub were when I was a child before they were turned into restaurants. Nice beer garden too and local walks on the downs and ridgeway.
The pub and the staff were absolutely lovely, and we really enjoyed sitting outside while the chicken was pecking from place to place, BUT the pictures were taken moments before someone’s dog chased and bit the chicken, putting feathers everywhere. People got really upset, myself included and unfortunately the dog owner was very slow and incredibly rude as well, so please please be more mindful of your surroundings and always keep your dog on a lead!!!
What a delightful and quintessential English pub. Beer, no lager, superb filled rolls. It is a rare gem in this corporate age.
Had a lovely pint of the locally brewed "Five Giants" which warmed us up on our chilly bike ride. Great atmosphere inside and outside the pub. Lovely location.
A most unusual pub in the most fantastic setting. Warm crusty rolls and delicious ales. It's an outdoor pub with limited seating indoors but that doesn't deter anyone who enjoys the beautiful countryside.
Amazing little find , sells ploughman’s and rolls but the rolls are amazing and prob not to every ones taste I had salmon and bri ,
We also had steak and Stilton
And corned beef and cheeses all were fab , great for a light lunch
Haven't been to the Bell for 40 years and all I remembered was the atmosphere and delicious rolls that were served. Why change something so good, to my surprise it was just the same and as good. Brilliant will be going again soon
Popped in for a quick soft drink on a very hot day. We sat in the garden, relaxed on our bench, and enjoyed the atmosphere. We saw the food come out, and were very tempted. Next time...
