    The Bell is a transformed and delightful "proper" rural pub, after decades in the doldrums. We had a good evening in the village we know so well. Good food from an interesting menu. We'll be back! Fred Bramham.

    I and 3 friends had a fabulous lunch here, it was such a lovely welcome to see the open fire roaing away on a cold, wet miserable February day. The pub has a wealth of beautiful features, a lovely cosy sofa area in the bar and a nice buzz on entrance. We were welcomed straight away and shown to our table in another beautiful room, again with a lovely log fire going although unfortunately could not see this one as the doors were shut on wood burner, but it was lovely and warm. The food was amazing and we each had a dessert which was very generous but still devoured it! Will be returning for sure!!

    Absolutely lovely, so cosy and the food was great. The bar side was a little busier but the dining side was quiet and relaxing. Would definitely eat here again. All staff were wonderful.

    Beautiful pub in a beautiful village with beautifully presented food. Excellent range from pub classics (e.g. burger, fish and chips) to more refined dishes; everything, even the chips, appeared to be made in house. Make sure to order an espresso to get one of the chef's own cookies. Service excellent, plenty of parking if driving in from elsewhere (just over 1 hour from London), large open fire in bar. Book as there are a limited number of indoor tables.

    Much better than it used to be. Food good. A bit short on staff due to illness, but they were still good and very pleasant and apologetic. Wine a bit more than we wanted to pay, as the one we wanted was not available, but it was very nice. Nice and busy so a good atmosphere. We will go back.

    This 500 yr old pub exudes atmosphere and charm, and the food was just a notch above what was expected. Great people, friendly and experienced. Definitely a destination, as the village is beyond beautiful!
