Bell and Bear in Sandwell

Popped in for a pint of HPA whilst walking a section of the Monarch's Way. Good pint, nice atmosphere.

Fantastic pub food and friendly staff.

Always good atmosphere, nice staff, tasty food. Made a pig of myself with the pork belly. I crackled with delight as I enjoyed my meal.

Great Black Country pup, excellent menu, great value and warm and friendly staff.

friendly traditional pub, great fresh cooked food and reasonable prices. Fantastic views from huge garden. recommend

Great service and food, although they mixed up which order had the sweet potato fries, it was quickly solved by us.

Not great for disabled persons steps to toilets .

Nice quiet pub with a great Sunday dinner

Great food, good range of beers, staff friendly. Great pub all-round.

We were told at which table we had to sit for drinks. Food trodden into the floor with dirty cutlery left under tables. Shabby, dirty interior. Had to walk past a very smelly mens toilets with door propped open and we were told at 9.30pm that we had to leave at 10pm because they were closing early. I do not recommend this pub and will not go back again.

Came to the Bell & Bear recently for a meal, nice food, big portions, unfortunately spoiled by the rudeness of staff, booked a table for 8 and we were on two separate tables not even close to each other. Menu nowhere near as much choice as there used to be. The toilets left a lot to be desired, unfortunately it will definitely be the last time I visit.

If you like excellent pub food, with good beer at a fair price then head over to the Bell & Bear!

We have eaten here twice now and both times the food has been exceptional, rare steak was perfectly cooked, the other meals (belly pork, scampi and a cottage pie) we're delicious. The ladies behind the bar are lovely. Food is well priced too. Can't wait to eat here again!

Visited the Bell & Bear Inn, Rowley Regis recently for a meal, nice food, big portions, unfortunately spoiled by the rudeness of staff - 'hospitality' at its worst. The toilets left a lot to be desired. First visit, will definitely be the last.

We have been coming to this pub for a number of years now. In the last few months the prices have gone up and up. The portion sizes have alway been on the large side, but recently they have been getting smaller and smaller. Maybe these are signs of the cost of living crisis,but surely you should not be charging for loyalty. Come on Bell and bear get back to how you used to be.

My first visit for sometime...I was pleased that it had retained its old world charm instead of becoming a noisy modern pub..food is excellent and not expensive our group from today are booking again for October can't wait.There is disabled parking as the carpark is on a slope but the general spaces are big as well.The staff were young and very friendly.. .see you soon

It's a nice little pub with an unassuming atmosphere and views from the back of it. Very dog friendly. The interiors are gorgeous and give you a rustic Vibe. We went on a Sunday and the kitchen closed at 5pm just before our arrival, so it's probably worth calling them ahead if you're wanting food.

Lovely food and atmosphere,.Callum was very friendly and attentive, a lovely person.

Would have given 5 stars but the toilets really need sorting out. They are awful.

Nice atmosphere friendly staff food nice big portions

Nice staff really polite will go back

Beers great, atmosphere and beer garden too.

Visited today with my mom and dad and husband. Lovely welcome pub very clean and has a country feel. Menu was limited due to it being a sunday lovely staff member lynne took our order very quickly food came out hot and very nice. Do think they have so much potential with out side area little park for kids would bring so much more people in.

Lovely pub, serving good classic pub food. Reasonably priced, staff were very pleasant. Has extensive outdoor seating and nice views.

Only had a drink, on a quiet Monday evening, but the place was clean, the staff very hospitable and the atmosphere although quiet was nice.

Ate here for the first time today. Wife had Scampi, Son had kids sausage and mash, I had homemade tikka and father in law had hunters chicken. Portion sizes are great, reasonably priced and overall with the great service a great experience.

Fabulous food, staff very helpful and friendly. Lovely atmosphere, like a little country pub.

Local is small, but has a soul and looks amazing! Garden is huge, lot of space for kids to running 🏃‍♂️ 😀 and has a beautiful view! Food was just ok ;-). Definitely we will be back there!

Had lunch to day for my partner 60th birthday the best TBone steak and gammon lovely staff hope to see soon

Brilliant time in having our lunch in lovely and relaxing place..you can't get any better ..well done staff keep it up.

Been coming here for the past 6/7 weeks and celebrated a birthday here today. I'd been a couple times before also and customer service has always been top drawer. Today bar staff helped out with the Birthday. Hiding a cake I'd brought with me, bringing it out and actually singing happy birthday too. Was a good laugh! Also, they've signs for cash is king etc so with many places refusing cash, please use it here. They see all of the money opposed to a bank taking a share. Will be back again soo and thank you for helping out adding to the joy of a good birthday

Excellent "Olde Worlde" blackcountry pub

First time here, lovely little pub tucked away in the corner. Came for food and drinks with friends. Food was lovely. Mixed grill was massive but Sausages abit over done for us. Staff were happy enough to wrap up the remaining meat to go.

Food was bostin, more than generous with portions. Staff were lovely and friendly. Plenty of choices. Definitely worth a visit.

Great food and a nice environment

Great beer garden out the back & dog friendly. Not the best beer selection but great food.

Food was great ! And great staff thank you for making the day a special one . Great chef and great customer service would definitely recommend

Quaint old pub dog great food and dog friendly

Fabulous food and lovely customer service

Had a lovely day today for my daughter 30 birthday there was 12 of us every one loved the food and staff where so welcoming we be going there again

Really nice. Good to find somewhere that has lovely home cooked food.

Great food and beer. Lovely friendly staff. Real pub.

We had a lovely meal, nicely cooked, reasonable prices. Husband enjoyed the beer. The only thing we would recommend is to serve the food on hot plates. Cold plates always spoil a nice meal.

Staff friendly and helpful, food first class, looking forward to my next visit.

We felt that £11.50 for a bacon and brie baguette and chips was excessive.

Family and friends gathering, great selection of beers and lagers. Staff accommodating as we just turned up mob handed. Didn't eat. Great view out the back of the Black Country.

Didn't appreciate the barstaff openly discussing the fact they ripped me off well take a wild guess on why I won't be back

Love this pub- really week cooked food- great menu choice. Fantastic beers, good service. Friendly staff create a great atmosphere. Cosy.

A lovely little pub that offers quality home cooked food.

Fantastic place and fantastic food 👌

Lovely staff and fantastic jacket potato! More red wine choices only reason for 4 stars not five. Only had 2 to choose.

We have visited this pub a number of times and really enjoy the food and atmosphere. The food is home cooked ‘pub grub’ but really hearty and flavoursome. I’ve had the vegetarian lasagne and it’s really nice and seasoned well. They are happy to adjust dishes too if you ask, which they have done for us everytime we have visited. The puddings are nice with the cheesecake being a favourite choice, although they used to be a bit more generous on the portion size, and I’m sure the price has increased slightly (but still nice if you enjoy a pudding and that’s me being a tad overzealous on my puddings haha) It can get busy in there which I always think is a good sign, but it’s always worth calling and booking a table before arrival to save disappointment.

Best place for food in Blackheath you won’t leave hungry

Lovely little cosy pub. I had the beetroot and butternut squash wellington for my Sunday roast and some garlic mushrooms for starters. The portion was huge and tasty. The staff are friendly.

Came here with my Sister. Had the best Foggots I've tasted in years. Great staff & dog friendly. Thank you 😊

Great food and cracking black country atmosphere.

Came here for a few drinks. Very nice pub. Love the old classic features to this place. Pints were very good. Great place for a pint of bathams. Food was also very good, pints are great and the pub always has a great ambience and atmosphere. I highly recommend coming here for a great time.

We had not been to this pub for years and wanted to come back in the winter as it is such a cosy place and it didn't disappoint as the real log fire was going. We hadn't planned to eat but we decided to. I had beef lasagne which was just how I like it done with lots of cheese and my husband had a chicken burger which he really enjoyed. It's obviously very popular as lots of tables booked and all the staff were friendly with the male barman whose name I did not know wins the award for the happiest barman ever! We will be back soon.

Brilliant good, service and atmosphere.

By chance we drove past on the way back from clent hills, after a good Hike we sat down and had food, the Sunday roast was great , the wife had fish and chips which she really enjoyed . Well worth a visit

Sunday lunch we hadn’t booked however they accommodated us and sorted us a table. Great fresh home cooked food! Very friendly staff. Will definitely be going back!

In comparison to some of the bigger chains the menu is a little limited however that is more than made up by the quality and portion size. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful old country atmosphere, gorgeous home cooked food, you need to book we didn't, we walked in an it was packed, so very popular

Always on the look out for somewhere decent to go and what a find! Service was good, place was cozy everyone in there seemed relaxed which is a massive positive. Everything I asked did not seem a bother to them. Meals were a good size and quality was very good. Myself I'm not too keen on massive onion rings just don't think they taste as good as the smaller ones but they were the best large onion rings I have tried will give them that! Beans instead of peas on the mixed grill was a nice touch and again very tasty (wonder if you could swap to peas if requested for next time🤔) The cheesecake although salted caramel is also not my favorite prefer lemon or Oreo, it was still to die for really shocked me! I can find no real reason why I would not return or why I would not recommend to others. They do so many things right! Need to pop back when not driving to sample there beers didn't really see what ales they have on offer so can not comment but if as good as there food should be no issues at all. Bell & bear inn have already raised the bar very high for 2024, well done to all who work there.

Lovely pub food amazing staff excellent can't fault the place

Not been here for years very good food and service

Fantastic place, a really homely feel, great staff! The food was so good! Massive portions and great prices

Lovely pub with very generous sized Sunday lunchs.

Fabulous 3 course Christmas Menu. Delicious home cooked food. Highly recommend!

Visited for thr first time and enjoyed a lovely meal, in comfortable surrounding. Will be going back for another visit

Came across this lovely pub after searching the internet when I was nearby. I was looking for somewhere to eat and this place had good reviews. What a find! I arrived around late lunchtime and it was packed out (always a good sign). Once inside, I asked the girl behind the bar if she had a table for one free to which she replied something like not at the moment. As I really wanted to have a meal of some kind, I asked how long the waiting time was. She then said that some people had just paid their bill and that I could have their table when they left which didn't take long. I sat down with a drink and a menu was brought to me within a short space of time. Lots to choose from including starters,mains and puds I chose the chicken,ham and leek pie, changed the chips for mash and my meal arrived pretty quickly. It was absolutely delicious! The little jug of thick unctuous gravy was just to die for too. The atmosphere was very friendly and the girls behind the bar were lovely. I would not hesitate to recommend for a very good good time meal. I will definitely be going back.

Brilliant place for a food and drinks. Very cosy atmosphere. Brilliant value for money in a country pub vibe! Open fires and log burners make it even cosier. Great atmosphere inside and not too loud. Staff there are so attentive. Best place in the area by a mile!

Excellent meal,very good service and friendly staff. We had a table by the open fire which was lovely

Service friendly and prompt. Parking easy and plentiful. You will need a good appetite to eat the servings. Good pub food. Well cooked. A very good experience. Thank you.

The beard was very please got table straight away and food was excellent, staff was brilliant enjoyed everything thank you for everything will definitely come back and I know my son goes there for Sunday lunch and he loves it there too

Good food. Great service. Good ale. What more do you need.

Lovely pub proper old school vibes and beautiful views

Great food great staff, lighting is very dark

First time here after hearing lots of good reviews. Food and service was fantastic. Will be coming back

Jayne was easily one of the best waitresses we’ve ever had serve us ever! What a great time we had for my sister’s birthday! 5 star and what a lovely waitress!

If your the type of person who like oldie world pubs with good food and a welcoming small atmosphere then you will probably be looking for the Bell and bear a 400 Yr farm house, the down side you've got to book early, but I'm sure you won't regret it as you sit with a good drink and look forward you meal.

Lovely food, lovely staff, shame about the swearing drunks on the next table 😡

Very friendly staff good food and service.

Fantastic food,great portions perfectly cooked 5*

Went for Sunday lunch, family of 7( pre-booked table). We all had roast dinner - 3 beef, 3 lamb and one chicken. Lot's of meat and good selection of veg. Very tasty. Had side orders of peri roast potatoes and dauphinoise potatoes which were amazing. No - one could manage a desert as we were so full. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Amazing place & food. Friendly staff, will do what they can for you

We went for an anniversary meal the food was absolutely amazing,had never been before, but will definitely be back.

Food priced have gone up and portions smaller

Great food. Really enjoy coming to this place.

Food excellent, very good choice of drinks.

Has become a regular for Sunday roast, dog friendly to.

Just stopped in on the off chance (Friday) and decided to have a meal, freshley battered fish & chips for me and Lasanya for my wife both meals were substantial and tasty (batter lovely & crisp & chips were great. Didn't have to wait more than 15mins for the food, would certainly call in again. A nice pint of Butty Bach and friendly staff, next time I go I'll wait for the sun and try the rear garden out

We come every week with the family , the staff are fantastic , can’t do enough for you especially Lynn.. we visited today 7/9/23 and it was crazy busy due to the wonderful weather all the staff were doing their best can’t thank you enough for the hospitality , for always making us feel welcome .. we will see you next week

Absolutely terrible experiance especially working for the brewery sector. How I have been treated for a brewery taking my food order, stealing my money by not delivering my food, to ask on what's happened all over 2 mixed menus has blown my mind this evening. To not like feedback on a garden menu that if it states garden surely that means outside? To then the worst of being attacked and barred in front of all customers for a brewery taking my money and not delivering food? If anyone else is confused on such behaviour then please get in touch! As stated working for the brewery sector I cannot wait to give this feedback. As a customer and not a worker this evening I am shocked of such behaviour bar managers think they have when really from my experience they are the problem! Customers first! Manners cost nothing! Don't think much more can be said on behaviours occurred here this evening but if your face don't fit then your not welcome!

Sunday lunch.. perfect as usual

Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff. Clean. Food was beautiful. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.

Lovely old pub, amazing food, great beer garden, great staff. Highly recommended

Visited while on a weekend break, greeted as soon as we got there, seated straight away, drinks order taken just after we sat at our table, food was amazing! Staff really helpful and friendly. Went there based on the excellent reviews so here's another! Lovely old place with a great atmosphere and really reasonable prices. Very impressed.

Booked a meal at Bell and bear 26/07/2023. I cannot recommend it enough. All the food was excellent, tasty tender and very well priced. Portions were more than ample. Still ate it all. The staff were friendly, polite and professional. A big thank you for a wonderful meal in a lovely atmosphere. Craig Walker.

Bit of a wait for drinks but staff were apologising and saying we would be served next which we were. Staff were great tbf. Very friendly. Nice atmosphere in the pub with a beautiful beer garden. Didn't have food so can't comment on that.
