Travelling from Hayling Island / Chichester to Oldbury, Smethwick and back on the 1st Saturday of the New Year seems crazy, but it's the opening of a world class Photographic Exhibition, and "The Bell" is, great for Dinner on the way back south. Mind you had we known we were going to encounter so much SNOW we would have left earlier... But had a lovely meal and looked after sooo well by a lovely, left handed, Waitress. Remiss of me, but did not catch her name. Two pasta dishes and Sausage, Mash, Onion Gravy and greens were all great. And our favourite Affogato were first class. Hope to return before next January...

We have visited The Bell many times for drinks and to eat and had no issues. However, we visited on New Years Day as it was my birthday and was very disappointed in the quality of the meal we chose which was fish and chips. We requested chunky chips but there was only fries available , the fish was of low quality and mainly batter and the peas were cold! The waitress was attentive, so don’t know whether the kitchen staff are different and the menu doesn’t seem to change at all considering it prides itself on changing it daily! Will be a while before we go for a meal again, hopefully you will take this on board with good faith and go back to your normal high standards.

Had Christmas Day lunch here with our family. We rarely go out for Christmas lunch on Christmas Day but decided to go this year. We paid £100 per head for adults and £50 per head for the kids. Despite preordering they didn’t have some of the starters available so offered garlic bread instead. This came out as part toasted bread. Each course took ages to come (nearly an hour for mains) and the food was very average - turkey was awful, stuffing was microwaved cheap processed rubbish, soup was so salty we had to stop the kids eating it! All meals weren’t plated, no condiments (e.g. bread sauce, cranberry sauce etc) and no extra veg or gravy for table. The Christmas pudding was the worst I’ve ever tasted. Between course we had to clear the tables ourselves. After all this they charged us 12.5% (£150) service charge. Really disappointed

Visited with friends for an early Christmas lunch, comfortable and warm inside, number of menus available but all people on the table have to choose from the same one, we ate pheasant and black pudding suet pie for starters, then turkey and Christmas pudding, all well presented, very tasty and good sized portions, v friendly and efficient staff. Many thanks, it was a very good Christmas lunch.

We came in for our choir's Christmas meal, which was absolutely amazing! Ordering was really easy and straightforward, replies were quick and helpful - reporting allergies could be improved as there isn't an option to put a note for an uncommon allergen, however, I sent an email and everything was sorted so it wasn't a problem. All the food was perfect and the staff were lovely (even when we asked for extra sprouts). Everyone had a wonderful time. If I'm in charge of another choir meal I will definitely book here again. The ambience was perfect, cosy and warm and not so loud that we couldn't hear each other. Thank you to everyone who made the experience extra Christmassy!

We visited here with friends on a Friday night. From the minute we walked through the door, we were greeted with a busy, yet warm and cosy atmosphere topped off with unparalleled service from start to finish. I can't remember the chap's name, but he was a Scot and therefore had something in common with one person on our table. The food was incredible, too. This was our first time visiting The Bell, but I can honestly say that it won't be our last.

We use The Bell regularly, it's on our way home from visiting the kids and other stuff in and around Knowle. We like the food, the drink and the staff, its particularly dog friendly and we take our visitors to enjoy lunch or dinner when they are with us. Ordinarily the place is excellent, the staff are friendly, the ale is well kept and I may have already mentioned the food is rather good. There is just one problem, the front bar area, we took our kids for lunch when they visited with their dog and quite rightly we were seated in the front bar where dogs are allowed, the problem is we were forgotten! We were served by several members of staff, all of whom were very apologetic for ignoring us, I went to the bar to order drinks and asked one of the bar staff to send someone to take our food order, apologies all round for ignoring, the food was ordered and delivered then we waited to order desert, eventually went to the bar and asked the same bar person to send someone to take our order, more apologies, deserts were ordered and delivered, we then waited on the off chance that someone might bring the bill, no chance! Went to the bar and paid the same bar person, suggested that a word with management wouldn't go amiss which he agreed to do and we left. On our most recent visit they were busy and the only table available was in the front bar, we reluctantly agreed, after I told the staff member who seated us of our unfortunate experience in that area previously, but was assured that all would be well; it wasn't, exactly the same result as the first time dreadful service no contact from staff members ordering our drinks from the bar and asking the bar staff to flagg down someone to take our food order, then desert order and finally the bill all sorted with the help of the bar staff. It won't stop use using the Bell but that area needs to be sorted out.

The Bell is super dog friendly, with a dog bed provided in the room. At dinner we had a dog gift of treats and ball, lovely touch! Breakfast was great, good vegetarian options too! Vegetarian full breakfast was cooked beautifully and I made a couple of changes which was accommodated without any issues. Evening meal choices were really good.

All staff are attentive without being overbearing. The facilities are first class. All food was of a very high quality and very reasonably priced. Our room was lovely with a very comfy bed, large bathroom and all extras you need I.e. kettle and drinks, iron, hairdryer, TV, fluffy towels.

Staying nearby we went to the Bell for an evening meal. We were not disappointed: it was delicious. I had lamb shoulder and it was cooked to perfection. The puddings were also scummy. They cater for allergens and tweaked my meal to suit mine. The restaurant seemed disabled friendly but I don't think the rooms are. Best to check before booking/visiting. Didn't use the lavatory so I can't comment on them but I have no reason to believe they would be anything but clean and well maintained. If we lived in the area we would definitely go there again and I would recommend it, unreservedly.

So today being the 100th birthday of my late uncle we decided to commemorate the occasion by going out for lunch. There was my aunt, aged nearly 101, myself and 2 close friends. We have been many times before and always had a lovely time. Today could not have been better tbh. We arrived separately but were all very warmly welcomed as we entered and shown to our seat in a lovely position in the restaurant. Our server was I believe Sandra, who was so kind, patient and lovely. We didn't have to wait anytime for the drinks which left enough time for us to peruse the wonderful menu. The food arrived just on time, not too quickly at all, and we all had dish envy for each other's dishes. My aunt had the Lashford sausage and mash with cabbage and my goodness, there were three huge sausages and she had to take one home, but she absolutely loved every mouth full. I had the shoulder of lamb with crushed potatoes, carrots, leeks and cabbage. It was beautiful. The lamb literally fell apart on the plate. The jus was stunning and held the whole dish together. I can't wait to have it again !!! My friends both had the quiche with side salad, and they were extremely impressed and reiterated that we need to come to this restaurant much more often. Sadly none of us had room for desserts but they all looked so wonderful. A beautiful restaurant, fabulous staff with amazing food and worth every penny. Thank you for making a difficult day so lovely.

pubs tend to miss a lot with me as a vegetarian who just doesn't fancy eating another veggie burger so you can imagine how overjoyed i was to find not only a pub which had large variety of dishes but a LOCAL pub at that! not a chain! even the non-vegetarian dishes sounded pretty good. the price can rack up pretty fast, but the quality of the food is really good. dad impressed the pie was "an actual pie" not "slop with a pastry lid." we were offered friendly and efficient service, not too fast and not too slow. atmosphere was joyous, everyone inside seemed to be enjoying their food and time with eachother (which is always a good sign.) definitely not a place to visit in a rush, you'll want time to soak in the beautiful garden views or enjoy the cosy and warm interior. i loved all the art prints on the wall and the old-timey details (like candles, exposed beam, earthenware inspired crockery.) it's not often the inside of a pub feels welcoming. just to add – i don't think my family has ever ordered dessert from a restaurant before but the prospect of a post-meal ice-cream was too much to resist 🤭 the vegan chocolate one was light, just the right amount of chocolate-y and delicious (also loved the glasses they served it in!)

I have heard many good things about this restaurant and so we went today for my husbands birthday. I was underwhelmed by our food today. We had the roast, and it was pretty average, and considering the food is pricey, you expect it to be excellent. We have 4 kids - 2 had the roast option and 2 the burger option - the burgers were tiny, the chips were great. No salad for the burgers. Puddings across the board were really good and we loved that they all had great vegan and GF options, although the meals didn’t have much variety at all for GF for the kids. The service was also average - our waitress hardly gave us a smile throughout the whole meal. Luckily a server of the food was a bit friendlier. Honestly, we won’t be going back again.

We tend to sit down for our evening meals much earlier these days. Really glad we did because by the time we left, you couldn’t park a car in the car park and this was on a Wednesday. We chose to eat here as the menu appealed. Despite a ‘pre 6pm’ sitting we were told straight away that they did not have any asparagus. Disappointed? A little but the point is they told us before we had even placed an order. Excellent. The service and the meals were of very high standard, the cocktails superb (maybe a touch heavy on the alcohol but really nice) and the desserts superb. Why doesn’t anyone serve spotted dick anymore!! Would strongly recommend this restaurant. We ate really well and enjoyed everything about the place, the bar area, the restaurant, the staff…cannot fault any of it. Well done, this was the best meal of our 4 day stay in the area.

There’s a perfect mixture of a “pub” for drinkers and restaurant for diners. And the garden?! Jeez! I can’t wait to visit in the good weather!!

A beautiful pub! I had a 40th birthday dinner at The Bell with a big group of friends on a Friday night. We were offered the private dining room but opted for a table in the main restaurant area (for the lovely atmosphere) and were given a little area to ourselves (but still in thr heart if the pub). Staff were excellent and the menu choices were great. My food was absolutely delicious. One minor hiccup where one person's meal was missed but it was rectified within minutes which is the sign of great service! Thank you to everyone at The Bell.

Absolutely thrilled with the arrangements for sister-in-law's 80th birthday lunch. Pre ordering meals for fifteen helped immensely, and phone calls to The Bell prior to the day we're answered warmly and efficiently.On the day, Lorna , with the able assistance of Sam and Hannah, were absolutely professional and knowledgeable in their service - sincere thanks to all of them.We would have no hesitation in recommending The Bell for any celebration or indeed just a quiet meal.Well done everyone ☺️ DC

Very nice meal with family. I would recommend the scallops, poke bowl and the crispy beef salad. The service was a little slow, but it was Mother’s Day so the restaurant was completely full. My compliments to everyone who was working very hard.

Where to go for lunch after a visit to Compton Verney? The answer for us was to speculate on being able to get a table at Th Bell, Alderminster on the outskirts of Stratford upon Avon. No problem. We were welcome with open arms - asked if we would like a drink from the bar to take in with us and hey presto they even took the drinks for us to the table. We were extremely well looked after by Ann-Marie and there was a great choice. A small curried prawn dish for me and scallops for my wife. Delicious. The seared, flaked salmon for the main course was delicious. The experience was faultless and we will go again before long. This is part of a small chain including The Falcon near Banbury which we had visited before - so knew to expect a high standard of both service and food.

Great place for a stopover . Staff friendly and rooms are clean and comfortable. Lovely bar restaurant to sit in all on doorstep of Cotswolds.

We've frequented The Bell for a number of years and it's always a fantastic experience. Today, my Mum organised my hen-do here and it was absolutely wonderful. The friendly and attentive staff - even though we were tucked out of the way upstairs - the beautiful decoration, and fantastic views over the hills behind all added to this. Thank you for accommodating us, and for being amazing. See you again soon!

Fuimos tentados por el "menú de chocolate caliente" en un día frío. Desafortunadamente, a pesar de la etiqueta de precio, nos sirvieron chocolate caliente muy acuoso. He tenido mejor de una máquina expendedora. ¡Quizá sus desayunos sean mejores!
