The Bell in Huntingdonshire

Super food well cooked and presented , fair prices 1010

This is a gem of a place. Great service, friendly and the roast is superb. The roast pork in particular was absolutely delicious 😋. The portions are very big, tasty and very good quality and value for money. The puds were fab too. All in all, a great lunch in a lovely little venue. Thank you.

Little gem of a place. Delicious roasts, big portions with quality meats. the pork is delicious 😋 Great service, friendly atmosphere and lovely host. We'll be back, I'm sure

Excellent Sunday Lunch, roast beef with all the trimmings. Large portions at reasonable prices. Other options available from the menu too. Good selection of drinks. Excellent friendly service and nothing was too much trouble to make our visit memorable.

We had my son’s 20th birthday drinks and food at the pub yesterday. There were lots of us and the team at The Bell made us so welcome! The pub was busy with another function too, plus lots of people, but they were brilliant and so happy and looked after us very well! They didn’t rush us at all. Food was good and staff always happy and very nice!

What a lovely friendly place. The Sunday roast was excellent. Don’t bother with a starter I had garlic mushroom starter it was a meal on its own. Then the Sunday roast was huge. Rachel was lovely. We will definitely be back, The wine prices were really good.

Fantastic place for a Sunday roast

I had the cottage pie and it was excellent. My family had crispy chilli beef salad and fish fingers chips and peas and chicken and chorizo pie. All were excellent and I recommend this pub to anyone who wants good food at a reasonable price

Lovley pub very well coming landlord highly recommended 👌

We called in yesterday evening for some food and a drink. I had a couple of pints of a really nice pale ale and an amazing chicken and chorizo home made pie and chips with veg. The picture says it all!. Delicious!!

Booked a Sunday Roast. Very friendly welcome. Food was fantastic with generous portions and local produce. Absolutely stunning.

Popped in for a Sunday roast Absolutely fantastic Everything was cooked to perfection Local produce - taste the difference Large portions and good price Friendly, cozy, relaxed atmosphere Staff and landlady super welcoming and very chatty 100% this is our new go to pub for food and relaxing They have loads of fun events coming up Gin fest, beer fest, music - can’t wait Thank you so much

Excellent pub with great Sunday roasts.

Not sure how this restaurant scores so highly, we felt underwhelmed by the food and the atmosphere. Nothing wrong with the service or the staff so maybe we just caught it on an off day

Fantastic fair priced food and quality friendly service.freindly staff and very nice setting in the village of great Paxton.

Sunday roast. One beef, one chicken. Both very good. Service was good and everybody was friendly. Definitely recommend.

We had the crispy shredded beef and halloumi salad for starters, both of which were delicious. The shredded beef in particular what exceptional and probably better than any of the Chinese restaurants in the area. For the mains we had the roast dinner, the chicken and beef were very moist, tender and full of flavour. The pork had perfectly cut crackling and again, the meat was perfectly cooked. The roast came with crispy potatoes, red cabbage, carrots, green beans, pig in a blanket and Yorkshire puddings. My only slight negative is that the Yorkshire was slightly doughy for my taste, but overall it was a fantastic meal. This is very much a new favourite of ours and will definitely be coming back.

A fabulous roast dinner on Sunday. Good service. Will return when next in the area.

A beautiful gem of a place - fully invested in the local community and has a really friendly atmosphere. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived in our campervan (they generously let us stay the night in the car park) and had an absolutely fabulous meal with an excellent selection of drinks. Clearly popular with the locals, definitely worth a visit.

Popped into The Bell for lunch with a friend. We ordered bacon, brie & cranberry sandwich and fish finger sandwich. Both came with a pile of chunky gourmet chips and a salad. Delicious and packed full of filling. Service was quick and Rachel, the landlady was lovely. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Friendly welcome and great food! Here’s our reviews: Our party (of 5 plus dog) ordered fish n chips, scampi n chips and pie of the day. All meals were very hot, fresh and delicious. The pastry of the pie was lovely - crisp yet melting. The mash was good and even the broccoli (not my favourite veg) was nice. The fish was perfect - meaty and with great crispy batter. The chips were rather over-salted, but otherwise excellent. There was a huge amount of scampi! The last of us ordered ploughman’s with ham. The rolls were warm and delicious and there was plenty of cheese, salad and coleslaw. We all enjoyed our food and would definitely recommend The Bell.

Lovely landlady and excellent food. Good value for 💰

Thank you Rachael and team for taking care of our wedding celebrations. The Bell offered a perfect space to hold a relaxed wedding reception with a great space for some sunset wedding photos. Rachael checked in with us several times to confirm plans in the run up to the day and was so tolerant of me going back and forth with messages to ask questions or tweak plans. On the day everything ran perfectly and we felt really well looked after with Rachael even making up a plate of food and bringing it over to me to make sure I ate (thank you!). We opted for bbq food and it was perfectly simple and delicious. At the end of the night we were able to head straight off with no stress as Rachael took care of everything and had all our stuff packed up together ready for us to collect the next day which was a huge help. Overall, Rachael and the team were all so welcoming and friendly and made it possible for us to enjoy the evening in the way we hoped to.

Come here when down from Scotland to visit family in the local area. The food is brilliant, great service as well. Highly recommend it, real hidden gem. If anywhere nearby get yourself in for a proper Sunday roast. Probably best to skip breakfast though, portions are huge.

Came here from seeing a vegan food night promoted on their FB page. Glad we made the journey as was a decent vegan friendly meal, served nicely with a Brixton beer on draft. Hooray! Will return

Amazing steak night too good to miss. The steak night which Rachael runs at The Bell are amazing. The steak was really well presented and cooked to our preference - Medium Rare, it came with chips and a lovely accompaniment of fresh veg - see image

Another fantastic Sunday lunch for Hubby/Dad/Grandads birthday. 5 adults & 3 children. Clean plates all round. Thank you to Raqi and Sarah. Winning team. Hope to see you again soon

A good mix of traditional pub that also does food. The food is excellent, very tasty, good portions, and well presented. A couple of real ales on as well. An active pub with darts team etc.

Steak night at The Bell, Great Paxton The meal was amazing , looked great tasted fantastic Fillet steaks medium rare - delicious !!

We were with you for Burns night and had to say what a great night it was food, service and the entertainment. We have to say that the bagpiper we were with Mr Morrisons group. Thank you for a great night.

Best Sunday Roast I have had for a long time. Not only was the food first class our host, Rachel couldn't do enough for us and the children. Really great day. A big thanks to the whole team. Always a warm welcome mid week lunch is awesome too.

Perfect meal, top service and wonderful atmosphere. Looking to visiting again on our way to family.

Visit here once a year and never fail to deliver. Great pub food and cannot resist a starter; the service is best I’ve experienced! Looking forward to next December. Thank you

Great food ,warm local pub atmosphere, good Guinness.

Went here because first choice was booked - that is serendipity. The Sunday lunch was wonderful, very generous and well cooked. The staff were friendly and helpful and respected my respect for gluten free which was all served with a smile. Definitely want to go back, now my new favourite local.

Amazing food and drink lovely pub

Booked for Sunday dinner yesterday for 6 people, arrived earlier than we thought, Raqi and staff were very friendly ,attentive and nothing was too much trouble . Dinner was excellent would highly recommend

Great place great food and service

We have just had a wonderful Sunday lunch at the Bell. We were a group of 8 and everyone cleared their plates! The pub and restaurant were full but the service was still first class. We live in Great Paxton and in times where pubs are closing their doors in unprecedented numbers, we are delighted at the success of our local village pub. This is largely down to Rachael and her team. They work tirelessly to create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. We’ll be back again soon!

Sunday lunch at The Bell, one word….Lush. Top quality food brilliantly cooked by chef Sarah. I’m a bit of a gravy snob, there’s was delicious. We were a group of 5 adults and 3 children, who will definitely be back. Thanks Rachel, Sara & team. 5*

Always a nice visit, owner a passionate footy fan so there is always a great atmosphere on match day. Really nice food too, and a good kids play area out back.

Reviews looked great. Need a stop in the way. Rang when close and booked a table. Other party travellers where later thanks us. Staff were great and we happy to wait. When the food came it was great. The only negative was it was the lack of customers. Get down here the food and beer are great

Came across this pub quite by chance on a midweek break when we wanted to stop somewhere for Lunch. We got a very friendly welcome and the landlady made some recommendations from the menu. Her top recommendation was their home made pies, which my wife selected, and she was not disappointed. I had a ploughman’s which was equally as good. Very much worth a visit if you’re in the area

Food is nice, woman that works there seems very stressed, came in at 1.15 for lunch there were only 2 other tables there and she seemed very unhappy that we were there stating the pub shuts at 2.30, although hours online say 3, turned away a separate time for lunch at the same time as there were 3 tables there

Couldn't recommend enough. Food amazing, service fantastic

We found this by accident because first choice was fully booked but this comes into the serendipity genre - loved it. The food was beautifully cooked, just what you would want for a Sunday roast. The veges were obviously freshly cooked just right and gluten free options were available. The service was very friendly and we will definitely go back next opportunity.

Was a dj at venue and couldn't ask for a better place to be

Went for a funeral wake. They were very good

Enjoyed an evening meal with friends. Food was really good, home cooked and generous portions. Really good value for money. Really friendly welcome and service

Lovely meal, service and lovely pub.

10 of us with a variety of meals which everyone agreed were all amazing. We will be back to work our way through the menu.. others said the same and would recommend it to friends and family. We could not have asked for a better night out food,drink and service were all excellent Thank you Raqi

A good place to celebrate with friends.

Once again Rachael and her amazing team at The Bell, made our friends and family celebration an evening to remember. It was my niece's 40th birthday and we all had a fantastic day. Rachael was on the go the whole time making sure all the guests had everything they needed. Staff serving the drinks were friendly and efficient. We decided on a BBQ and the food just kept coming. The marquee in the garden is such a bonus as we used it for additional tables and chairs. We had about 120 guests in all. Thank you again to Rachael and her team. Gig

What a great find!!!! Great food, great menu and great service

Just had an awesome Sunday Roast at this gem. Portion was really impressive and so tasty, great value for money. Staff really helpful and welcoming. Thank you and highly recommend.

Had our wedding reception here in April. Rachel and her team are incredible no job was to much allowed us to come and go in the week running up to the wedding to alow us to make sure everything we had planned went to plan then on the day absolutely pulled it out the bag. I would highly recommend The Bell and the team for all you wants and needs

We had our sons 4th birthday party here last weekend and had a fantastic time. We hired out the marquee in the garden and were able to put out lots of toys and games to keep the kids entertained. Rachael and her team put on pizza and chips which went down really well with everyone. It was a great space to hire out for an event and we would recommend to anyone as nothing was too much trouble. Jacob had a brilliant birthday, thanks to all!

Had a great Sunday lunch, four stars only because the lamb was slightly overdone and the staff forgot us a couple of times. But it was rammed busy and our table was booked at 3pm.

Food was amazing. Staff were very friendly. Very good place to eat and have a nice cold beer

We had our daughters Christening reception here today and it was wonderful. The food was beautiful and everything was very reasonably priced. We had so many compliments from our guests. Raqi was a delight and super helpful and nothing was too much trouble including allowing us to come in early this morning to decorate despite having a wedding reception there last night! (it was already clean and tidy ready for us!) She kept in contact in the run up and checked in with us regarding the current renovations (which are coming along nicely and already look great!) we will definitely look to hold another event at The Bell and I'd encourage others to do the same and support this lovely business we will definitely visit again soon to enjoy their great hospitality!

At last we discovered a traditional pub with first class food and a friendly environment

Excellent service great selection and very reasonable priced and very tasty food and wine what is there not to love about this pub

Went with group of friends for an arranged breakfast. Rachel sorted out my gluten free and lactofree intolerances straight away. Lovely food. Lovely pub .Thank you

Fantastic friendly pub, food is always wonderful with plenty of choice. I just wish I lived closer so could visit more x

Nice pub but shame about the staff, just rude and very clicky!

My wife's favourite restaurant, always great food, super friendly service, excellent value and good beer too.

Great place to go for a beer, or dinner. Always something going on and Rachel is spot on! Always looks after us when we go. Foods also great ! Thank you !

Lovely food. Very reasonably priced. Very welcoming. Opened especially for us and much appreciated. Would recommend.

We've just enjoyed a delicious roast dinner, the meat was cooked to perfection and the puddings were just glorious. 8 of us arrived and were taken to our table and the service was quick, drinks brought out more a less instantly after ordering, the food order was quick, albeit the chicken was unavailable but not a problem, these things happen, the children had chicken and chips and fish and chips which were scrummy as empty plates all around (other than my 5 year old he was was full) and pudding was demolished, not needed as the potions of the dinner was huge but you know, you have to try these things and we were not disappointed.... absolutely beautiful chocolate brownie and rice pudding, again did not disappoint. Some things were missing (ran out of chicken goujon) some things were forgotten (extra gravy) but my goodness this place was fantastic, the kids played in the garden and loved it, honestly it was stress free, beautiful, relaxing and just yummy. 5 stars given and deserved, thank you so much, we don't eat out often due to being a big family but this truely was a special treat, thank you. The staff were friendly and helpful, all smiles and wishing them a good and successful night with their quiz tonight Dawn Brocklebank (DSB First Aid Training)

The team kindly agreed to let us book a table of 10 even though they had already got another large booking and other lunchtime guests. With excellent communication in advance with Rachel, we pre ordered. Everything went smoothly with all our orders promptly served with...

Good Atmosphere didn't eat myself but judging by amount of people in there it is very popular

Just been for Sunday lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary Rachel was very friendly and efficient food great very reasonable prices will definitely return with friends

I took my colleagues to the bell for Sunday lunch and I can say it did not disappoint! We were all left in awe at the portion size and that we had a choice of meats, along with this there was great service, a lovely atmosphere and a really reasonable price for such good food! Plus the puddings were definitely worth trying. We will definitely be back, Thank you Rachael & team x

Amazing food. Staff couldn't have been any more helpful and are allergen aware. Comfortable surroundings. Suitable for families. Cannot recommend enough.

Lovely pub with yummy food and kind staff. Would recommend the shredded beef starter! Would definitely come back again

Great food, good prices very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and ambiance. Well worth a visit!

Travelled here with our dog to meet our son and his three small daughters Welcome was great and quickly shown to a table. The girls loved their large fish fingers, especially when they were personally consulted about peas or beans and offered tomato sauce. Chocolate...

This pub was chosen purely on location and, more importantly, on T/A reviews as we are a group of friends meeting up from opposite directions. What a disappointment! The room was cold. I had to brush debris from my seat. The server had on a...

Really nice place to eat. Food was fab, servive was great. If I didn't live nearly 2 hrs away, i would come here more often.

Great pub full of character with good pub grub and fantastic atmosphere - just been today and it's still the same!

Very nice place with a warm atmosphere. Food was very nice and served by friendly staff. We enjoyed our visit. Thank you.

Went to the Bell for lunch today. It was our first visit but certainly won't be our last. Made to feel so welcome by Rachel as soon as we walked in. Lovely latte's, fish and chips was really tasty and my husband had the all day gluten free breakfast which was amazing. Booked back in for next Friday, can't wait.

Fabulous steak night! The food was amazing and the wine we chose went so well with it too. Service was so friendly and it was all such good value for money. This is a wonderful village pub that really is a cut above the rest.

I almost don't want to tell the world how wonderful our local pub is but to just keep it to ourselves :) However, every pub needs business right now and we are very lucky to have such a gem on our doorstep. Tonight we were...

Absolutely wonderful place! Lovely atmosphere, fabulous staff and the food is glorious. Highly recommended, I'd give more stars if possible 😊

We had a brilliant night for the Carribean evening great company & Hayley our waitress was excellent a real gem to have we had lots of chat & laughter

Just wanted to say a hugeeee thank you to Rachael at the Bell for the hire of your marquee for my daughters 1st birthday. Really good value and a great space (especially with the play area in the garden), it was exactly what we needed and would deffinitely recommend and use you again👌 thank you! 🥳🥳

Service excellent, Food I had was the Red pepper and Tomato soup starter, Sirloin steak (Way too much cracked black pepper), with added king prawns, chips, stilton sauce. I asked for vegtables but didnt really need them as portion size overall was generous. CARE - There is a small step between restaurant and bar, a notice that asks everyone to return glasses, I found to poorly marked step fell hard to my knees, hitting the right side below ribs on nearby wood on chair. The darts match, sorry for disturbance of my fall !! Highly recommended pub, ticked every box. Watch out for that step !!

Friendly staff. Manager is excellent. Cant do enough to accommodate you.

We recently held our Wedding Anniversary celebration at The Bell, and couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The marquee was a perfect space to celebrate with our friends and family. Rachael helped us to plan our day and even recommended a singer that we...

Fantastic food. Great service. New marquee for functions.

We recently had my daughters christening at the bell and it was stress free thank you to Rachael and her team. The food was amazing and all our guests kept saying how wonderful the food was, especially the chips!! We would defiantly have future events...

Organised my dad’s wake at the Bell. Rachel was brilliant throughout, so helpful nothing was too much. I would also recommend the fish finger sandwich, I went the day before to drop off some photos, I will certainly be visiting again when in St Neots!

We stopped off at this pub on a long drive from London to Newark/Coddington, as this was the perfect half way point. It was a very quiet pub with lots of seating and a good menu. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was great. Really generous portions and tasty too. Would highly recommend it.

The food was exceptionally good - we had the roast pork. The portion size was very generous too! Good selection of beers on offer and the friendliest people running the place! What a find! 100% recommend

Fabulous Food, Sunday lunch is delicious, great service and hospitality outstanding. Definitely recommend 5* returning yes!

Menu varied and interesting. Service prompt and pleasant. Great pub food. Sweet potato burger full of different flavours, very nice.

My brother in law's wake was organised at the The Bell on Friday 22nd July 2022. The service of food and drink was exceptional. Rachael the landlady, made us all feel so welcome on what was a very sad day. Rachael and her amazing team...
