    We were staying at the Five Bells Inn for a night and very much enjoyed our dinner and breakfast. Both of our choices for dinner were delicious and the breakfast was first class.

    Food was good as ever, but staff were over-stretched and service suffered. We had to wait rather too long for the meals and one meal was brought later still having apparently got forgotten somehow. I’m sure just a glitch but disappointing as we’d brought guests.

    Great venue; roaring fire but disappointed with the meat. The turkey was rolled and the beef not as tasty as others we’ve had recently. Good wines and the plum crumble was lovely
