Just had lunch at the Bell with my family and we all really enjoyed it. I had the mussels and a couple of ciders ( cider menu is very impressive). Will be returning very soon. Great place.
Unbelievably expensive for poor quality roast dinner, The food was pretentious and way overpriced the lamb tasted like it was under the hot plate for two hours, Apple crumble was just knocked up and then put in a meal stream, The portion of the roast dinner was small and inadequate. Bar staff are nice and friendly. Wouldn’t recommend coming here if you don’t have a dog.
A really lovely welcome in the bar, nice and cozy, the fire was roaring, a lovely lunch time treat. We had a sausage sandwich and fries, there was plenty to eat and tasted delicious, all good quality foods. I didn't get a photo of the food as we devoured it do quickly, it was a really good size portion and tasty
A favourite pub for the Morris Dancing community. Great setting, beautiful old "real pub" with a fine range of real ales. The staff are lovely and the regulars, of which there are several, very welcoming. Given its popularity, on street parking can be challenging but well worth the effort.
Brilliant village pub, great food and nice selection of drinks. A nice stop off place when going for family bike rides
Great selection of beers and amazing ciders. My mother in law said it’s one of the best risottos she’s ever had and the venison was tender flavoursome and really enjoyable. Love the atmosphere here, really old pub with lots of history and an open fire. My mother and father in law wanted an authentic English pub and they were not disappointed.
2 years on from my first review, still one of our favourite local pubs. Lovely lunch today, Walnut, blue cheese and endive salad, spaghetti with cavolo nero pesto, cod with greens and mash. 2020 Super tasty Bambi burger & slow cooked lamb served by cheerful, friendly staff. All wrapped up in a cosy pub with open fires & great beer.
The food is good. The atmosphere is genuine.There are two different dining areas as well as the barroom. There is a large garden area that I assume is open in the summer. The guys who work there are friendly as are the customers.
Lovely historic pub in a pretty village. Good beers and menu. Very nice staff. Street parking so you mayhave to park nearby but well worth a short walk
Small but organised village pub with a good cellar serving cracking ales, ciders and lagers plus a limited menu of high end grub. Lovely timber frame building revealing its history all around you (e.g. the snug little separate dining area just off the entrance lobby). Two log fires, a beer garden, dog friendly and charming staff. Good walks nearby around Waltham St Lawrence. Highly recommended.
