Apareció después de mi largo paseo por la zona .. Es un buen pub. El personal era amable y acogedor, las bebidas eran buenas. Admite perros con golosinas en el bar, vale la pena detenerse en si estás en la zona.

The Bell es un pub encantador con un gran ambiente, personal muy servicial y buena comida, a un precio razonable. Tienen un programa de grandes actividades durante todo el año y Karl y Saira son un excelente propietario y una casera con un equipo muy bueno y amable.

Nos alojamos en un hotel cercano que no tenía un bar, así que pensé en venir aquí, ya que vi que estaban mostrando el fútbol. Tomé una pinta y me senté en mi esquina, listo para una noche tranquila viendo el fútbol. Terminamos sentados con un gran grupo de lugareños y tuvimos una noche increíble; charlando, cantando, celebrando. A pesar de que yo era de fuera de la ciudad fui recibido por todos y realmente me sentí parte de la comunidad. Nuestro equipo también ganó, así que el ambiente fue fantástico. Absolutamente cinturón de un pub local, sin duda volverá.

We had an evening meal in The Bell and a couple of really nice English pub beers. It is a typical and traditional lovely English pub, with a good beer selection and menu to match. The food was great. I had a steak and ale pie, which was home made and huge; my colleague also had a chicken, mushroom and Stilton pie, which was equally great. There was so much meat in the steak and ale pie that I was glad I didn’t have a starter. The freshly made puff pastry was a great match for the pie. Really good. Although I’ve eaten half of the pie in this photo, it’s probably the best and fullest steak and ale pie I’ve had. Ever! The garden is large with plenty of tables and plenty for kids to do too. A great meal and pint, in a quintessentially English pub. Ace!

I had the pleasure of visiting the bell while down here on a course from Huddersfield The food was fantastic. The ladylord and landlord are fabulous and welcoming Well worth a visit if you passing through or stopping in the area. I recommend the stake and ale pie the crust is crispy. And the cumberland sausage was fabulous

Decent traditional pub food, well prepared and good value. Service also excellent. You won't leave hungry. Unfortunately it was let down by some of the clientele swearing loudly and frequently - and not mildly either, far from it. Don't bring your kids. Once they'd left it was much improved. (Update July 2024): We went for dinner just because we didn't feel like cooking. We sat in the garden because the weather was nice. The food was great in quantity see the photo for some serious pie action) and quality and we were served by a very pleasant gentleman who I think was called Steven. Unfortunately there was one occasion of the less-than-ideal behaviour that I mentioned previously but that was all. For that reason I still wouldn't call it a family-friendly pub. It wasn't very busy, being a midweek evening. Incidentally some people have commented negatively about the parking system. While we don't use it since it's walking distance for us, the pub has a good-sized car park and all you have to do is enter your registration on a tablet at the bar. This seems quite reasonable to me and stops non-customers from abusing the pub's own car park.

They charge £6.55 a pint. This is just your typical old pub, and it's close to £7 a pint. I left after 1 but the irony is I would of stayed and spent more if the prices weren't that high.

Primera vez en The Bell y puedo recomendar a fondo. Saira frente a la casa era tan cálido y genuinamente acogedor. Tuvimos la opción del bar o la zona de comedor / cómoda recién amueblado - elegimos el cómodo. Una encantadora zona íntima relajante con una decoración cálida. Las bebidas se servían rápidamente y los pedidos se tomaban. Esposo tenía la salchicha y baguette de cebolla y cambió los nachos y la ensalada por patatas fritas ... le encantaban todos los aspectos. Mi chaqueta de atún estaba llena de relleno y un tamaño perfecto. Karl el Chef dio en el lugar, así que definitivamente seremos visitantes frecuentes. Gran ambiente y servicio de comida

Bonita bienvenida en el pub, han vivido en el pueblo durante casi 3 años y en realidad nunca han estado! ¡Ahora estoy absolutamente destripado de no haber estado antes! Gran servicio, comida fantástica! ¡Los Nachos fueron los mejores que he tenido! Lasaña - exuberante!! Tuvimos una velada muy agradable con mi amigo, no estábamos seguros de dónde ir esta noche para la cena y decidimos aquí! ¡Muy contento! ☺️ gracias The Bell por una comida encantadora en el jardín y el sol de la tarde! x

Pleasant staff, decent veggie pie (SERIOUS puff pastry!). The more interesting pint had run out when I was there. I've stayed at too many Premier Inns to stomach Doom Bar, so I settled on John Smiths(!). Why 3 stars for atmosphere? Not sure. Mid week evening can't have helped. Also, it's amid one of those partly upscale housing estates that calls itself a village. The car park is "managed", needing you to register your reg on a tablet. Must be a reason for it, but it doesn't feel "pubby". Definitely drop in for food and a pint.

If you are looking for a trendy, modern pub, this isn't it. If you want to enjoy a small local pub, with friendly service, tasty meals, a couple of real ales as well as the usual suspects and plenty of space (outside) to relax then this place ticks the box. It has regulars, it has kids playing, and it has laughter regularly heard. It's a pub for the community, and it doesn't get better than that.

Would have given 0 star if i could have. I dont know how to work a tablet, Asked the bar staff to help me by given them my registration on paper. Then i recieved a £100 parking fine.! The company has refused my appeal and after explaining to them i gave the barstaff my reg. The Management doesnt seem to care about there customers after reading another persons review they said this. Quote "If you had contacted us directly in the first instance then we could have liasied with the parking company to try to solve this for you" When i called them they said its not our responsibility of our staff and you should read the signage. Should the staff not be helping its customers.? Obviously they dont care about they're business. I wont be going back or recommend the pub to anyone else. Overpriced Aswell.!

The Bell is our local and its a great little, traditional English pub. What was the snug is now the restaurant, where you can enjoy a good meal in peace and the main bar is dog friendly. Saira, Karl and the team will give you a warm welcome and the ale is good. There's a garden with play equipment. The food is typical pub fayre with generous portions. It's well cooked and in the current economic climate the prices are very reasonable. They also offer a great Sunday roast, but its best to book because it gets busy! All the meat comes from the butcher over the road who is a member of the Scotch Beef Association. He can track his beef from field to plate.

We decided to return to the bell to see if it was a fluke the last time we visited in April 2022 but to our amazement and joy it is as it was last time. The staff were brilliant they adjusted our food order to suit us and at no extra cost. The customers are friendly and welcoming even though they didn't know us. If your in the area it is well worth a visit, trust me you will not regret it. I would without a doubt give it 5 stars

Holidaying in Marston and called in this pub on a previous evening to book, so glad we booked in for a meal at this pub. Booked in 24.05.2022 for an evening meal with a family of 5. Made to feel very welcome. The menu is of a good size with various options for dining. Myself and my father in law opted for the mixed grill and it was superb(very tasty sausage btw). Surf&Turf gorgeous Rump steak with peppercorn sauce was gorgeous, beef chilli, with nachos and again, yes this was gorgeous, great food all round. Great deserts. Great value for money. Ample car parking. Definitely recommended. Graham G and family

Today (Thursday 7th April 2022) Well l think l can say with hand on heart this is the 3rd time this week I've actually visited the Bell at Marston so can give a non biast review. I ate here some months ago and really enjoyed it so visited again on my holiday for a week. The manager and manageress welcomed us with open arms and a very warm welcome. All the people in there were also very very friendly and also gave us a very warm welcome. The food is of a very high standard and very good value, l can't praise the place enough. If your ever in the area l strongly recommend you give them a try you will not be disappointed. Like l said at the beginning l have absolutely no personal connection with the pub at all Dave
