Went for Mother’s Day lunch. Service was good and the staff friendly. Quite a big place and has a large outside seating area too.
They were busy and had three sittings on our table throughout the afternoon. We were given plenty of time though to eat which was good. Didn’t feel rushed.
The food was nice, never had ham hock like that before. The dessert I forgot to take a picture of - was sticky toffee pudding which was lovely.
The roast beef dinner was ok. Was on the menu as ‘roasted pink’… not so much… you can see on the picture that it was a little over-done. Still tender but just not what was expected. All round, most of the table were happy with their food.
Had a lovely Sunday roast here, and mussels and chips for my dining partner! Plenty of friendly staff on shift, and Claire in particular really looked after us on our visit. Enjoyed the 0% Thatchers cider that was recommended... and really, it's such a beautiful pub with all the beams.
Went for a Sunday lunch on the 2nd visit to this wonderfully charming little pub. The food and service was superb, waitress was attentive but not too much, the perfect balance. Even with a few large parties to cater for, our food came out very quickly and was faultless. We were seated in the newer part to the pub which is decorated accordingly. The front part of the pub is full of character and it's old style is beautiful. Watch your head though, that part isn't for basketball players let's say. Will be back 👍🏽
Recently had my Wedding reception at the Five Bells and I can’t Thank or recommend the staff and venue highly enough!
Everything from the planning of our day, to catering for our guests food requirements, to the help in decorating the venue to perfection and the service they provided on the day. Nothing was too much trouble, they were so accommodating and we had so many of our guests complimenting the food.
The venue is beautiful with big lush gardens, thankfully the weather also stayed mainly dry as a bonus!
Thank you to you Joe and your team. You made our day perfect ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Sunday lunch - very tasty roast beef cooked beautifully and well presented.. Service was good and some decent real ale on tap. Overall, it was very pleasant and will be somewhere we plan on returning to soon!
Absolutely fantastic pub, one of the few and rare traditional English pubs left.. It has an enormous outside gardens t the rear, with both a separate restaurant and bar, which is dog friendly. With fantastic staff and an impressive menu.. The food is top notch and I couldn't falter the whole experience. The locals are super friendly too and I'll def be back when in the area.
Fantastic food and decent sizes. Dog friendly seating in bar area and separate restaurant area that doesn't have dogs. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.
Great Sunday roast. Super attentive service, friendly and welcoming. Only comment is they need bigger plates! The portions were fab but it was a bit piled high which was a bit off-putting. Beef was incredible though. Great specials board too.
Just got home after Sunday Roast here today and have to say it was gorgeous. Fussy son loved his beef. Service was excellent. Will be going back real soon.
