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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I ordered a cake a week in advance. I sent two e-mails in the title date "1.08.2023" with a photo for the cake. The ladies could not save the picture to the desktop. I sent the third time with the date "July 31, 2023" telling you that it was a mistake because my birthday is on August 1 and I have to pick up the cake a day earlier. I ordered a cake at 5pm. I came and the cake had the wrong picture. I spent 40 minutes there because the printer was out of order. I was under a lot of stress because I had a meeting at 6 pm and I didn't know if I could make it, if the printer would work and if there would be a cake. I paid £47. I finally got a cake, but the photo was small and the decoration was cut with a knife. I already knew I didn't have time to do anything with this cake. An hour later, the photo began to wrinkle. The next day it was very wrinkled. I called the store and the lady was not nice, she was talking at the same time as me. She said I could have said the cake would be kept overnight for the next day. I said that when ordering, but what kind of professional people should they be asking about such things. This lady did not want to help me at all. I was left with an ugly cake for a lot of money. no more your company. I have photos of the cake and will post them everywhere
