Roaring fires and local beer at The Bell Inn
A proper village pub, warm fires and food that quietly exceeds expectations.
A proper pub for a long, unhurried afternoon.
Settle into The Bell Inn for a few hours of good food, something from the bar and the easy atmosphere of a village pub. In winter, the pace naturally moves indoors, with the fire drawing people in and a Sunday roast giving the afternoon a particularly good reason to linger.
Local at heart, with food worth staying for.
The Bell Inn has the character you'd hope for from a village pub, but the kitchen takes things a little further. A strong wine list and a changing line-up of guest chefs add interest without making the place feel anything other than what it is: a proper local.
Winter belongs by the hearth.
Once the weather turns, the open fires become the natural centre of the pub. Find a seat nearby, settle in with a drink and let the evening unfold around you, logs crackling, dogs stretched out by the hearth, nothing demanding that you leave quickly.
Local beer, poured without ceremony.
There is something particularly satisfying about a well-kept local beer in a proper pub, especially when it comes with a seat beside a roaring fire. No elaborate ritual needed, just a pint, a warm room and enough time to enjoy both.
