Very pleasant, traditional and historic pub. Prices higher than others locally, but worth it for the atmosphere and excellent service. We didn't eat, but it had a good menu and it would probably be very pleasant. I'll be back! Thank you.
A real old-town boozer. Loads of little snug rooms either side as you go in, then a larger lounge at the rear. It was packed when we arrived, but we got served in no time at all, even found a seat, and the atmosphere was great. A proper bustling place, feels like a town centre pub on a Saturday should.
I've always liked The Bell and it's one of Nottingham's oldest pubs. I was in Thursday evening and went in the long bar at the end and had a nice pint of Rocking Rudolph. I went in the bar on the right as you enter the pub to get a seat. I went up to the bar to order my second pint but the barman was not to seen for ages so I went in the end bar again and got served. I mentioned about the missing barman to a young female barmaid but she didn't seem interested. As this hostelry is one of the cities most famous, and owned by Greene King, this simply is not good enough.
One of the best pubs I've been to in this city. Plenty of history adorning the walls and very nice wood panelling. I had a very good ale for around a fiver. Will return and edit this review.
The food was absolutely wonderful; it was our first stop upon arriving in Nottingham, and we were delighted with how well it began our trip. We will certainly return if we ever visit Nottingham again. The staff were very kind and helpful, offering excellent recommendations for places to visit in Nottingham and engaging in pleasant conversation.
This is overall a great pub. Meant to be one of the older ones around so it has a lot of charm all by itself. It's a green king i think, but one of the better ones for sure. Few big tvs mean watching six nations here is good. Award winning pie. Time passes quickly in the back as there is no windows, but nice wood paneled atmosphere
Pros: Friendly/helpful staff Decent prices for drinks Cons: Massively overcrowded (probably beyond fire safety levels on a Saturday night - felt sorry for the staff) Two portions of "triple cooked"chips, both not cooked through the first time! Steak sandwich, however, was totally overcooked. Very poor toilet facilities
I went in the Bell Inn once 20 years ago and I've always remembered it as a brilliant pub I must return to and kept my fingers crossed that it hasn't changed. I returned today with my wife. It's still fantastic. We only drank there, but we'll definitely be back. A busy, traditional, friendly pub with loads of history. We both absolutely loved this place. Just like pubs used to be years ago. A gem.
It was alright in the end, just a shame I had to ask for the smashed avocado with my salmon, poached eggs and smashed avocado... Should have been topped with seeds as well and it didn't say it had chili flakes in it. A bit dangerous if you're allergic to it.
Bell Inn. Only positive comments! Another restaurant from The Green King chain. Come to Nottingham with my Partner for few days holiday and we decided to come to The Bell Inn restaurant as is located in the city centre. Nice restaurant in the building that it was built in 1463. Lovely historic vibes. Food was delicious. We got ourselves Chicken Sharer Platter and I got myself Katsu Burger with slim chips and partner got Chicken and Mushroom Pie with spring cabbage and steak cut chips. Food was freshly prepared, and nicely presented. We didn't have to wait for food long either. It was perfect timing. Staff very friendly as well. If you are in town I fully recommend to check this restaurant. You will be surprised how good the food is.
