Historically a Hungry Horse where it was hard to know what was about to be delivered from the kitchen, and the carpet was stickier than a sticky toffee pudding, The Bell has been transformed to a lovely, understated restaurant with a team looking to make every visit a joy. My family arrived today unannounced, but a table was conjoured up. I've always been a bit let down with the traditional pub Sunday roast, but with the addition of pigs in blankets, I'm left wondering if a home cooked roast is worth the hassle. Professional but unobtrusive staff and beautiful setting with lots of outdoor seating, along with a play area for the smaller guests. As long as nothing changes, The Bell will be on our list for any occasion. Thanks to all the staff.

Had a lovely lunch with family and we all were impressed with the whole experience. Welcoming staff, lovely clean restaurant area and the food was delicious. Our 3 year old granddaughter chomped through her kids meal ( fish fingers, chips and beans) and the chocolate ice cream was a big hit. Will definitely be back again. Thank you to all the staff who made an impromptu lunch so enjoyable

Another visit to The Bell and another excellent review. Lovely pub with fantastic staff, very welcoming and so polite. Superb service and delicious meals, great value for money and the pictures just show how good the meals were, empty plates at the end. Clean and very well kept pub and the staff show pride in their job and the place, goes a very long way and certainly shows. Will be returning again and recommend to others. Thank you and praise to the whole team because it's well deserved.

We are locals to the Bell, Wallingford and always have a lovely time. They have quizzes on a Wednesday evening which are good fun when they can run them as sometimes they don’t have enough people to take part. We would be there every Wednesday otherwise! The team are great, the punters are friendly and the decor is nice. Food is always 10/10, there is a great menu with lots of choices. As we have gotten to know the pub, Steven always makes sure we have a nice meal/drinks. The team are very attentive, checking on tables making sure all guests have everything they need. The only downside to the pub is that they don’t have tvs for sport!

Went for a meal on the 1st of November we’d booked our table for 4 quite a number of weeks prior, we arrived to be greeted by a member of staff might have been the manager “I hope you’ve pre booked or it’s pot luck what you get” amazing greeting! We ordered our meals and drinks as well as some water for with our meals. Our meals arrived (which were edible that’s all you can say about them) and the server bought the water and 3 glasses…. There were 4 of us, they then noticed the mistake and said “ohhh there’s four of you ahh well two of you will have to share” in a very can’t be arsed manner. We are individually repeat visitors as we are all very local, that will be our last visit the meal that my place of works Christmas meal (booked that night by someone that wasn’t with us) has now been cancelled via Barclay card, if we want to be treated like that we’ll go to Burger King the foods of about the same standard anyway

Been the last two Sundays for their Roast and its absolutely lovely food. I'm now giving up cooking my Sunday roast at home, when it's this good here! Excellent price as well. This pub/restaurant is an absolute gem. Going back Monday night night to try their other delights in the food department. Great service and staff as well.

I've been to The Bell on several occasions since it reopened recently, and have always been happy. Not Michelin Star quality of course, it's a Greene King, but more than good enough for the price, and the staff have always been cheerful and helpful

This is poor microwaved /grilled food served by a very grumpy waitress who clearly had never been trained to smile or be nice to customers!

Me and my partner went to the bell on a busy Wednesday night I was lovely from start to finish Chloe on the bar served us we had the curry deal I ordered the standard tikka and my partner ordered a big plate beef madras. It arrived in a timely manner of about 10 minutes even though the pub was busy. When my partners food arrived he was stunned of how much food there was there!!! Our food was fresh hot and delicious. Our plates were cleared and as we were leaving Chloe wished us a farewell from the bar. Thank you team bell we will be returning.

The Hungry Horse is the place we middle aged brothers and sisters get together without the kids for a filling meal at a very reasonable price. The ethos is pile it high sell it cheap and as they say you get what you pay for. The staff are on the whole very friendly, although sometimes the service is slow. If you are happy that you are going to get cheap pub food in a busy setting, then this place is entirely suitable
