The Bell in Stratford-on-Avon

This Pub has everything, great location, great premises, good staff. But the food is poor. I had to return the meal and did not ask for another. My wife had to return hers as the food was dry and overcooked, the returned meal was not much better. We were very disappointed. This is the third time of disappointment as we returned each time to see if things had improved but not so! No senior staff got involved or seemed interested. The staff must know there is a problem as upon complaining they stated that a new chef had been poached from another restaurant and would be starting in a few months? we will not be going back.

Toda la experiencia fue memorable, el servicio de primera clase y la calidad excepcional de la comida. Esperamos con interés la próxima visita.

Gran desayuno. A finales de los 90, fui a TAMWORTH, en Arden, para ver la tumba de Nick Drake. Este fin de semana fui a TANWORTH - en - Arden, habiendo llegado descubrí que era el mismo lugar y durante casi 30 años me equivoqué de nombre! En los años 90, amigos y yo visitamos la tumba en una tarde soleada entre semana encantadora de Nick Drake cantante de folk del pueblo , Tomamos una cerveza fuera del pub y dejamos el pueblo. Este fin de semana fuimos a propósito a alojarnos en el Bell para be&be , nos pareció que The Bell proporcionó Super relación calidad-precio bed - and - breakfast (Ocupamos habitación superior - habitación número 2) Bonito baño, buena cama decente y ropa de cama, café, haciendo instalaciones en la habitación. Después de haber visitado algunas propiedades fiduciarias nacionales de antemano y experimentado un muy mal servicio al cliente de los empleados y, en particular, de los jóvenes. Fue muy apreciado descubrir un gran personal en la campana, en particular la chica con el pelo rubio muy largo. Nada era demasiado problema para ninguno de los empleados y en particular los jóvenes. Tuvimos bastantes  Grandes cafés con crema. Y luego fue El desayuno , que estaba limpio y bien presentado , se cocinaba exactamente como se pedía, ya fueran los huevos fritos o los excelentes huevos revueltos. Todos los ingredientes eran de calidad y bien cocinados. Gran tostada , y cereales disponibles también. Más artículos disponibles en el desayuno que elijo tener. Un montón de aparcamiento disponible sin complicaciones y fácil de aprovechar. ¿Volveremos? Sin duda cuando esté en la zona de nuevo, será el primero de la lista.

Vine a almorzar el domingo ayer y fue uno de los mejores que he tenido. Yo tenía la carne y mi esposa también. Estaba perfectamente cocinado, tan tierno y sabroso. Servido con mucha verdura y el pudín de yorkshire más delicioso de la historia, incluso nos regalamos el queso de coliflor... delicioso 😋😋. El equipo era maravilloso, especialmente las jóvenes, Tara y Molly, muy competente, amable y atento. Sin duda volveré! Gracias a todos en la Campana xx

First class for food and service. Really had a superb meal. Thank you.

Encantador pub, pero la comida no era genial. Tuve la pata de cordero. Estaba demasiado cocida, la carne era como una corteza. Tan seca que no había carne. Muy decepcionante.

Had the lamb shank, it was nice but a bit over cooked

Excellent Valentine's meal. Every course was superb and worth the price. Staff were lovely. Only criticism was the men's toilets. Which were very cold and looked like there was plumbing issues

We hadn't been back to this pub in a while thought we would give it a try. We were pleasantly impressed with the service and the food. They obviously have a good chef as food was well cooked and tasty even had real chips not frozen! Desserts again were very good could not fault anything. Would definitely recommend and return

Nice oldie worldie pub with bedrooms. Good food and friendly service.

The last time we eat here in this quaint Village Pub, it had just changed hands and the food and service was dire. We had heard the Pub had changed hands again recently and what a surprise. The new owners have employed a Chef who really knows what he is doing. The menu was excellent and the food was brilliant. The service front of house was fabulous with the charming Kate was at its best. All in all - this was a really good lunch and cant wait to go back for a further visit.

It's not a bad refurbishment. The place looks modern if a little lacking in soul and atmosphere, I preferred it as it looked under Ashley's management some time ago, more characterful then. The menu and food were okay but uninspiring. Wines and other drinks are good but expensive. Service fast and friendly but forgetful. Half full on the Friday evening we visited.

This is a really nice pub/ hotel that Andrew has here , it's a shame that we didn't get to see him on our visit today. We did get to see Bernie,our friend from the sister venue The World's End , it was lovely catching up with her. The rooms are well decorated, our dinner this evening was lovely, looking forward to our breakfast tomorrow morning. Thank you Bernie for the warm welcome x

The Bell, back to a good pub and nice food. A few years back, it was a lovely pub, but then the brewery took it back from the landlord. It had a makeover, but the food was terrible reheated rubbish. Thankfully, it looks like a new landlord has taken over and turned the whole place around again. The food menu isn't massive, but enough choice. The 2 courses for £16 is great value. The food itself was nice and the pub decor is lovely.

We stayed here whilst on a business trip. It tied in with the local carol singing and it was just a really lovely experience. The room is great value for money and would definitely recommend. The breakfast was delicious.

The Beef was fantastic. Service was great. Warm cosy pub. Will be back

Lovely pub under new management...But bar prices are a little frightening with 4 drinks pint Cider 2 glasses wine and a G&T £35

Stayed for one night at the Bell with a mate in a twin room,whilst going to the NEC for the classic car show. Excellent location 20 minutes away in a lovely village. Twin room was spacious,with a massive refurbished bathroom. The pub/restaurant is great,good selection of beer and tasty menu. Breakfast was excellent and the staff are really friendly and efficient.

Had dinner with friends last night. Great pub and decor. What wonderful menu, lots of options and wow the member of staff Evy not only beautiful but was truly amazing and great host, very helpful, funny and so entertaining she should be on TV. Really made our evening and we will be back for more entertainment. Keep Evy as she’s a great asset to your business 😀

Qué fantástico lugar para ir. El servicio era increíble, el personal era tan encantador, especialmente Evie que era solo una alegría que esta chica debería ir lejos. Noche divertida en un gran lugar y hermoso pueblo

Fantástica ubicación. El personal era excelente. La cena fue muy agradable. Nuestra habitación estaba impecable y cómoda. Jack estuvo muy atento en el desayuno, aunque por su cuenta, logró servir a todos y mantener la comida fluyendo.

Fantastic food in lovely surroundings. The Sunday roasts are amazing.

Pobre en comparación con lo que era originalmente hace algunos años cuando era de propiedad privada. Pensamos que la comida era muy media y algo sobrecocinada, precios altos tanto para bebidas como para comida. Muy bonito por dentro y un buen ambiente, el personal amable pero que me temo que es donde termina, sin duda no se apresuraría a volver o recomendaría

Lovely pub . But staff with long hair need to tie it up . Not very hygienic serving food and alcohol with long hair flapping about .

Stayed for 2 nights and ate / drank there too. The room was excellent value, the bed was huge and one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in, and best of all it was very quiet. The breakfasts were superb (especially the scrambled eggs) with generous portions. In the evening, the restaurant food was also excellent, with a good selection of beers. The atmosphere was lively and friendly. it's worth noting that when I first booked the room, this was with the previous owners (Stonegate Pub Group). Unfortunately, even though I received email confirmation of the booking, they failed to pass on the information to the new owners, which meant there was no record of a booking when we arrived . Thankfully the current owners dealt with this difficult situation efficiently and effectively.

Lovely dog friendly pub. Beautiful food, my steak was perfectly cooked. Great service, lovely friendly staff. nice atmosphere. Will go again

Qué hermoso restaurante, el servicio del personal brillante muy atento y la comida era excelente, nada que pudiera faltar aquí.

We were very disappointed with this place. We love supporting local businesses, but unfortunately cannot recommend this place. The staff was rude, we were sat in an echoey room and asked to keep it quiet. We waited for our table for an hour, but no apology was given. The staff was not engaging, inattentive, unhappy and quite frankly rude. Food was ok, portions were small, but the quality was good. Not great experience

Superb food and service Going back for another visit Loved it ❤️ Sunday roast

Food excellent but service poor ...the head lady was dashing out all over the place whilst the young waitresses were standing around talking to each other.

Visitado para el almuerzo del domingo Realmente encantadora selección en el menú, optamos por la tabla de pastoreo de carne que era muy sabroso, el jamón en particular era 👌 luego una hamburguesa de pollo infantil y cenas de carne asada. La carne estaba cocinada a la perfección, se derritió en la boca, color encantador en las patatas y la verdura era mantequilla y bien condimentada, salsa muy sabrosa también. Comimos toffee pegajoso, pavlova de bayas mixtas y pastel de cereza para pudines, todo delicioso. El personal de espera era acogedor y amable y el pub era acogedor, decorado con buen gusto, los baños eran preciosos y limpios. Sin duda volveremos

A very well furnished and pleasant interior with strategically placed tables for both privacy and access. Also in a commanding location in a lovely unspoiled village. The food menu was very varied and of a high quality standard. My steak and ale pie was superb. The Chicken schnitzel also received a top rating. Friendly and pleasant service from the staff and on a very rainy day we were left to enjoy coffees at a very unhurried pace. Price wise, slightly above the norm but reflects good quality food in a comfortable environment.

Had a lovely meal tonight. The new owners are very welcoming. The food was very nice too.

Tanworth in Arden is a beautiful peaceful village and the Bell sits at it's centre. We booked a bit last minute after a change of plans, was surprised at the value for a weekend stay with Bed and breakfast booked. Having arrived at the pub , it would appear I had booked as it had just changed hands. The new owner has certainly hit the ground running, but then it transpires he comes with a good amount of experience. The owners and all their team we met were friendly welcoming and attentive. Service was first class. The food we ate whilst stopping was excellent. Rooms were tidy and the beds comfortable. All of this really made my weekend. This was one of the pubs I frequented in my youth, and although the furnishings have changed since the days of crossroads, I certainly felt the same sense of welcome , it's so refreshing to find an independent especially in such a beautiful location. Thanks so much.

Both the hotel stay and my dinner were incredible. Starting with the super charming and comfortable room! At the restaurant, the service was perfect and the food was wonderful. I loved everything and I intend to go back!

Great meals, can recommend the pie.

This is our first visit having a Sunday lunch since the new owners, the staff were grumpy and the apple pie and custard was cold, no one asked if our meals was ok

Superb pub in a great location, food tasty and hot. Nice green outside to have a cold beer on a day like today (was 23').

We received a warm welcome from Bernie and Kate at the newly opened Bell today. The bar and restaurant have had a fantastic facelift very much in keeping with the stunning village location. Lunch was a choice from the al a carte or the 2 course set menu. We choose from both! Delicious food, presented in the most beautiful way. I was so pleased to have a Greek salad included as part of my chicken schnitzel, most unusual and very appealing (it came with fries too). An extensive coffee menu to choose from as too full for dessert, but we will certainly be back to sample the very tempting sweet treats. We hope that Andrew and his team are supported at this beautiful restaurant/pub. It is so worth a visit for drinks and or food.

Sadly, we visited Tamworth in Arden and brought a picnic! I say sadly as I forget the milk for our flask tea. Not to be thwarted, I called in at The Bell to, very cheekily ask if I could have a spoonful of milk for my tea!! The staff said, absolutely no problem, and would not take any payment. They actually gave me a small bottle, just in case I didn’t have enough!!! What I can say, is the food looked absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was lovely! I wish we had not brought the picnic and enjoyed the menu at The Bell. If you are visiting the area, call in and enjoy this beautiful place. Thank you so much for the milk!! Our next visit will be definitely without a picnic!! Paul and Steve from Yorkshire.

Historic pub with free parking. Food and drinks rather expensive, although wide menu.

Edwina , Simon, Neive and all the staff are welcoming, great pub. Love it.

Not as good as it used to be, now has a chain pub feel to it.

Fab food, terrific value and great service. Excellent v

Not been here since before covid. Excellent food and good price. Service very good. Ales very good. We'll be back. Thank you. Walking lads.

Absolutely shocking afternoon tea - visited The Bell for afternoon tea for my Mums 84th birthday booking well over a month in advance and had high hopes given the positive reviews . The lady serving us was very polite and that’s where anything remotely positive ended . Two large plates of stale curled up sandwiches arrived and some form of greasy cut up flatbread with pieces falafel on which was just soggy . The ‘cakes’ arrived where we were advised they had run out of scones so we had two scones with no clotted cream or butter and the scones were replaced with donuts that were rock hard . This was not my idea of afternoon tea, there were some other form of cake which was just cheap and nasty . The whole thing lacked any care. We were offered a replacement so we had fishfinger sandwiches and a chicken sandwich all were completely soggy by this time I gave up.

First time trying the food since owners changed. Had a wonderful roast and crumble. We asked if they could add some crackling to our beef and they accommodated that request kindly. Can’t wait to be back!

Sat outside the bar which overlooks the village centre, lovely. Pint of morretti was excellent.

Stayed overnight on our way to brixham, an awesome experience, everything was perfect, the staff were amazing, the food gorgeous, the room well equipped, looking forward to staying again in a couple of days time on our return journey 10 out of 10

Great little pub that serves great food. Staff were friendly and efficient. Small car park at the back, dog friendly 🙂. We will be back.

Went with a party of 6 last night and thoroughly enjoyed....was pleasantly surprised by the value of the fixed menu (2 courses £16.50 or 3 £19.50). The mushroom starter was amazing, as was the classic fish and chips. Only negative I can find, it was a little quiet for a Friday evening.

A sweet little pub in a sweet little village. Would love to go back!

It had been a couple of years since my last visit and it's quite a transformation. The village Post Office has gone and been replaced by extra seating, one end of the bar has been removed and the other opened up plus the place has been freshened up. I was only there for drinks so was extremely happy to find that I'd arrived in time for "happy hour" which was on until 7pm. Outside of that you will find the drinks are not that cheap and I can't comment on the food because I only ate crisps! The pub clearly is for food first and drinking second, so that should set peoples expectations. My recommendation for eating would be to book as it was very busy when I was there for Sunday lunchtime.

My partner and I visited a couple of years ago and had one of the best roast dinners I have ever had. We decided to visit today knowing that since our last visit, the pub had changed ownership. And what a downgrade. Today’s meal was the worst meal out I’ve had in a long time. For my beef roast I was given two tiny pieces of meat. The roast potatoes tasted really strange - almost sweet?! Gravy lacked flavour and I didn’t touch the mash, parsnip or carrot as they looked so unappealing. The dessert was no better. The S’mores brownie promised toasted marshmallow - in reality they shoved those cheap nasty little marshmallows on top with no toasting in sight. My partner had the crumble of the day and said there was hardly any fruit and the crumble tasted off which I didn’t know was really possible. Service was meh too. What a disappointing experience. I will not be returning.

Excited to visit for Sunday roast this afternoon - soon did this become disappointment. Triple roast has three scrawny pieces of meat, seemed to have come from a defrosted and reheated starting point without any distinct taste to any. Undercooked roast vegetables that you could not put a knife through plus the worst roast potatoes ever put on a plate.

Amazing weekend at the bell manager staff warm friendly couldn’t of been more welcoming food drink room absolutely amazing thank you will definitely be back

Nice inn, nice staff, super location, clean.

As a family of 4 we went for Mother’s Day. The staff were lovely and friendly. The food was delicious. 2 of us had the mushroom bruschetta and 2 had the calamari duo. For mains 3 of us had steak and venison pie and 1 fish and chips. All of us thought our meals were lovely. Cannot comment on the desserts as we were too full that we couldn’t eat another thing. Definitely will be going again

Nice place to be. I was invited for breakfast and very tasty indeed.

Today 3/3/24 Sunday, we had a lovely tasty Sunday lunch, the food came out fast and the staff were lovely, I will be back and recommend your lovely pub! Thankyou for making my birthday weekend special.

My husband and I booked a room at The Bell for an overnight stay, on arrival we were greeted by warm and welcoming staff who explained the facilities and what this lovely venue had to offer. The pub was busy with a really nice atmosphere. We were pleasantly surprised at our room, it was a really good size, well presented, spacious and ultimately spotless. We enjoyed a few drinks in the bar area which again was really clean and tidy, no dirty tables or empty finished glasses. Staff were very attentive when ordering food and drinks. We decided to try the food, lots of options on the menu we tried a sharing plater and loaded tiger fries.......both were amazing, well cooked and served hot, excellent value for money. In the morning when we went down for breakfast again greeted with a a warm welcome by Edwina we didn't try breakfast as we were still full from our evening meal, but our morning coffees were lovely and the food we saw coming from the kitchen to other guests looked and smelled fantastic. Can't recommend highly enough well worth a try we will definitely returning

This is a lovely venue, we had a one night stay in a beautiful room which had all the amenities you need a comfy bed and a lovely bathroom. The whole room was spotlessly clean. Restaurant area was immaculate, a busy place with a nice welcoming atmosphere. Staff were really professional and helpful nothing was too much trouble. An excellent food and drinks menu, all reasonably priced and great value for money. Food served quickly and looked as good as it tasted, wholesome food freshly cooked, not microwave rubbish. Comfortable rooms affording a good night sleep, breakfast menu had lots to offer and the food looked and smelled amazing. Give this place a try you will be so glad you did, we will be returning, lovely place lovely team of staff, nice relaxing stay

Great food, service and location. The lamb shank was very nice.

Took our Springer Spaniel in at lunchtime. He was just as pampered as we were byvtge staff. Great 2 pints of beer, Calamari with prawns (totally unexpected on a pub menu) and Hunters Chicken. Hit the spot.

1 night stay and breakfast. Both amazing! Atmosphere also! As tourist its a full English experience. Price is fair also and rooms are clean.

As locals, we have tried The Bell on a handful of occasions since it transitioned from a successful privately managed pub to one run by Stonegate, a big chain of outlets, formerly the landlord. We have commented adversely in the past (since that change happened) but because we want to give our local pub a chance we have returned on occasion as we have today. Two members of our party ordered the 'fish goujons' and their meals had to be sent back. It looked like a whole end of a fish of indeterminate origin with batter rather than the normal smaller pieces. But the quality was awful. After a test mouthful, one of the two meals was clearly uneatable but we didn't sample the other because it looked as though it was. One of our party asked for some bread instead and was given four slices of white bread which still bore the signs of being in the freezer immediately before. The problem is (1) a massive menu and a standard approach for all of the several thousand outlets owned by this group without regard to the needs of a country pub and (2) a chef who doesn't seem to know what customers have the right to expect. Despite our wish to give this pub another chance, and the fact that the pub has been nicely refurbished, we have run out of patience and won't be returning at least for food!

Example of how a place can deteriorate when changing from a privately run venue to part of a pub chain. We’ve been going here for years but won’t be going back.

Since this restaurant has changed hands it’s just not the same. The food was below average there was no atmosphere. It’s lost its charm and we will not be returning. Such a shame as it was an excellent pub ! That has been taken over by a chain and it shows.

Having lived in this village for 19 years, it is a shame to have to put on a review that is so negative for my local pub. My family of 5 went for a meal on Jan 10th at The Bell, having eaten there on Christmas Day and many years prior, we had high expectations which are usually met. Unfortunately, we got off to a bad start as two members ordered the mussels, which came out almost stone cold (as well as their partnering of fries), and the "fresh bloomer bread" was first of all forgotten, and upon being reminded, the staff brought out cold sliced bread that had clearly come off any old loaf. The "Cheesy Truffle Tiger Fries" were yet another disappointment to two members of our party. The truffle oil was undetectable, and the cheese certainly not melted... apparently they are under the "to share" section of the menue at £8 each... regrettably they do not fulfil this either. Moving on to dessert, two members chose the "Luxury Biscuit Sundae" which sadly lacked in cheesecake pieces and came with a lump of frozen fruit that was inedible (I mean a handful of raspberries frozen together like they were just dug out of the freezer). Upon bringing this to the attention of staff, we were told it was supposed to come like that...even though frozen fruit ice block wasn't in the description. Finally, the tantalising sounding "S'mores Chocolate Brownie" had what appeared to be tinned cherries (not Cherry Compote), no vanilla ice cream and no biscoff crumbs either! Oh and the toasted marshmallows were those mini ones you can buy at the supermarket - sadly instead of toasted they were hard and stale. The staff who served us were lovely and accommodating, these downfalls are that of the Chef. Since this pub has been taken over by the Stonegate group standards have fallen and the menu is NOT an accurate description of what you get but rather false advertising! P.S. two members of my family went for a roast a few weeks ago... their bill was scrapped as their meat came out cold (once they had to pick between two as Chef had run out of the rest) and their vegetables were raw...

We held a surprise 60th birthday party for my husband. There were 11 of us and we had a table in a room to ourselves at the back of the pub. The food was high quality and tasted delicious.Also a good menu choice available. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. Thanks to Sunny for looking after us all. We were allowed to decorate the area with balloons, banners and photos. Lovely atmosphere. Would recommend eating here. The facilities were very clean too. Hope to return soon to sample Sunday lunch.

The menu and food was poor. Hardly any vegetarian dishes. I ended up ordering a starter and a sharing chips. Not difficult to do a few pasta dishes, halloumi burger rather than fake meat, veggie skewers, curry, etc! The mushroom bruschetta was average. The truffle chips with melted cheese was not ok. Small amount considering it was a sharing dish and £8, and cheese wasn’t melted and so it didn’t work well. No care and attention given at all. My friend is gluten intolerant and found the same, lack of options and very restrictive if you dont want to eat meat! Another in our group ordered the salad as a main as she’d had it the week before and it was good. This time it was half the size and missing so many of the ingredients, no peppers, avocados, hardly any tender stem. Very disappointing and we returned it but took them 3 times to get it right. Manager was very apologetic. Another in our group ordered the beef burger with bacon and cheese which had no bacon, looks very unappetising, no side salad/coleslaw and half the plate was empty.these aren’t hard to get right, as you can stack the ingredients and they look impressive. Not in this case, she compared it to a McDonald’s burger. Manager took back and replaced and was better second time. The food here is not cheap, and very poor quality. We will not be returning as there are other restaurants/ pubs nearby serving much better food for better value. Service was ok, we were left a number of times waiting for a waitress to serve us/ let us pay. However they just need better training to keep returning to tables to check. the resturant wasnt even half full. We’ve been eating at the bell for 12 years and in previous hands it was impressive small menu and done very well, same prices but you don’t mind paying more for a food meal. I have been before for Sunday roast which was very good, so inconsistent experience.

Went for a family meal. Food was good though a couple of meals had to be sent back because the chef didn’t read the ticket correctly. Staff are always good, one lady in particular ( sorry didn’t see name ) , middle aged, blonde hair ( shoulder length ), was taking orders and running food. Very friendly and professional. Toffee pudding arrived with cinnamon covered ( not stated in menu ), brownie was absolutely tiny. Wouldn’t like to see how small the children’s brownie is. Was tiny. Recommend lamb shank, was very good!

Absolutely brilliant establishment in every respect - great ambience, very comfortable room, awesome food better than any " pub" anywhere, fabulous beers and unparalleled service from Edwina, Michael and others. We came to Tanworth-in-Arden to pay our respects to Nick Drake and we will return here without hesitation.

Excellent service and food,nice friendly staff, wonderful evening

Had lunch with friends, lovely food fresh and beautifully presented, nice surroundings and friendly staff would definitely recommend 👌.

Great place for any occasion, bedrooms fantastic.

We're here at the moment. We've booked in for 2 night. Immaculately clean room. The best bed I have ever slept in. Just enjoying their Halloween night. My partner and I cant be happier and we will definitely come here again. Its a little pricey but well worth every penny. Such a friendly clientele and the staff can't do enough to make you feel welcome - just a great, happy atmosphere. 5★

We are Locals and we popped round for breakfast. My wife said that is the best bacon sandwich she has ever had 🥰 Excellent service as usual 👏👏

What a great spot to break up the journey South to North. Just outside Solihull, this lovely village pub with rooms is great. We stayed for 2 nights. The food was great, met some nice locals, everyone really chatty and friendly. The rooms are nice size and clean, lovely decor. Everything reasonably priced. The outside covered area looks new, all wooden structure with glass, a very impressive entrance. We had a really great stay. Lovely village setting with nice walks. We will be back!

Decent place, good food, polite staff. Respectable crowd. Family friendly. Happy to recommend and return again.

Dog friendly. Lovely lady (who has 6 of her own dogs) made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Lovely pub.

We walked to The Bell on a lovely Sunday afternoon and were delighted to find a table outside on the green. We had chicken wings, sausage rolls and pakoras. All delicious. Bowls of water and fancy treats for the dogs too! Will be returning for dinner soon - the menu looks good. Highly recommend.

Had a few pints here, very pleased and few real ales to choose from

Lovely Sunday roast in a great setting.

The drink prices are higher here than much nicer local private run places. The food tastes like it warmed up frozen products and smells like it over The Green from the extractors when the winds in the wrong direction.

Lovely Sunday Roast with my sisters and brother-in-law. Service excellent. Definitely going back soon

2 mains, 2 drinks shared trio of puddings £46. Eton mess exceptional, nice to see a superfood salad on the menu with add ons of sea bass or chicken. Mistake made with order but professionally and promptly dealt with a free round of drinks offered. Nice quiet setting in a picturesque village. 45 mins travel for us but would definitely return.

My Wife, Daughter, and I plus our dog were visiting Family in the area so looked for somewhere to stay plus have an evening meal. Luckily we found The Bell, Tanworth in Arden. The rooms were perfect, reasonably priced and very clean. We paid a tenner extra cleaning charge to have our dog stay with us, which was perfectly fine. The Hotel/pub is beautiful and so is the village location, Quintessential British countryside. We dined in the restaurant and the food was very good. More upmarket than pub just grub. The service was excellent, waitress was very sociable and attentive, sorry forgot her name, but she was brilliant. Sunny the bar mananager was very good too and kept our glasses full and also had a great manner. Breakfast menu was good and every thing was cooked nicely. Would definitely stay there again

Came here for a family meal, prices were excellent and portions were huge in comparison to other pubs in the area. Food was delicious and the chicken and bacon pie may be the best I've ever had. Thank you to Anthea in the kitchen and all server's. We will definately be back in the future!

Was in the area absolutely fabulous and kind service. We took our dog even she had first class service. Food was amazing and very, very reasonable for top quality food. Thank you to all staff wish we had a pub/ restaurant were we live. Highly recommend can't thank you all staff enough xx

Nice afternoon food service was spot on nice atmosphere third time here will return to the hidden gem in a village

I visited The Bell Tanworth-in-Arden for a Funeral Wake everything was absolutely Perfect the food the Staff the Bell itself is a great Place to visit I Have also Had a great Full English Breakfast you Would have to go a long way to Beet it well worth a visit

Went for lunch and was disappointed. Only ordered sandwiches and a child’s menu, waited over an hour for food to arrive. Then they got the order wrong. One was supposed to be on brown bread and another was a steak sandwich but ended up with a chicken sandwich. Did mention it but heard nothing back from them. Just ate what we had as so hungry. Wasn’t even busy. Child meal not great, mashed potato dry and lumpy. Staff seemed miserable.

Me, my brother and my two best mukkas came in today for Dinner/Tea. We was greeted and had amazing Service from Isabell. Nothing was a issue for her. Ruth the Kitchen manager was cooking on her own and did amazing job on all our food....

Decided to give The Bell another chance after a disappointing transfer to the ownership of Stonegate, a chain of outlets. Unfortunately, the Sunday lunch was disappointing - no welcome from front of house and no goodbye. In between, a poor quality trio of meats, chewy...

Smashed avocado on toast, perfectly poached eggs - fresh and delicious light breakfast. Lovely calm atmosphere & very friendly attentive service! 🔔

A bit disorganised, was shown to an unmade room when we checked in but soon rectified and offered some comp drinks. Breakfast offering very heavy, no light options and no gluten free bread so mother in law just had a poached egg

Headed here for an evening meal from a nearby campsite and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely setting and welcoming atmosphere followed by top food on a very reasonable set menu price. Special mention to our waitress Ruby as well as the rest of the staff Edwina, Bethany and George. All did a fantastic job and we will certainly be back! Couldn’t recommend this pub highly enough.

Fantastic food in a lovely restaurant. Great value too. The staff went above and beyond for our large group this Saturday and made our lunch a lovely experience - thanks very much!
