The Bell in East Lindsey

Dropped in for a meal without reservation and the lovely staff made us all feel welcome and served us with a delicious meal and sundaes to die for .

We popped in after trying to find somewhere for Sunday lunch. Not being local we didn’t know the area but as we had had a bad experience at the Fleece Inn the day before (very rude and shouted at us that they were closed when we tried to go in for a drink despite having no signage) we were very happy to find this pub. The staff were very friendly and chatty, the food was good and value for money excellent. Ended up having dessert and a few unexpected cocktails too! Would definitely recommend and be visiting again when we’re back in the area.

What a fabulous place food was amazing and the staff were so friendly and made us feel very welcome nothing wasn’t too much bother for them at all A nice and clean friendly pub would recommend it to everyone

10/10 Sunday Dinner! Lovely warm atmosphere on arrival. Massive roast portions but still room for a delicious portion of cheesecake of course! will be 100% returning for the main menu

Really warm welcome and a very comfortable stay in the great little town of Burgh Le Marsh, with nothing too much trouble for our host Rachael. More improvements to the property every time I stay and now serving excellent breakfast.

Unfortunatly this pub is not doing food so this is just to let people know. I spoke to barman there may be food served again in June 2024! However pubs been closed for last two nights, my guess is that business is very slow and its not viable. Once again from my own experience pub is in transition with Landlords/Ladies. My suggestion is check out their website I am sure they will update that when food is available again. If you intend to rent Curch Bell View cottage at the back of pub in the near futureyou may wish to read my review which I will publish about 13th 14th May if your coming on 10th you will see for yourself the issues I have raised with owners.

Food was low quality and bland. Dinning room was cold. Good selection of beers but expensive. Parking at the back. Nice seating area.

The steak was absolutely lovely, and the service was excellent. Great atmosphere, and I love that we can choose music through an app

Despite living locally for 12 years we’d never been to the Bell Hotel and thought we ought to give it a try. It turned out to be not what we were expecting - not really “hotel” standard!! There was just one room, not particularly inspiring decor, with a bar, tables, TV, pool table and darts. It was definitely a locals pub with quite a large number of people drinking, a group of fairly noisy young men playing pool and rather a lot of loud music. I guess we were expecting a restaurant, or at least a quieter eating area and we were definitely more formally dressed for restaurant dining! The welcome we received was somewhat abrupt - we announced our arrival at the bar with the words “we booked a table for 7:00”, only to be greeted with the reply “we don’t take bookings”. [If that was the case why didn’t the lady who’d answered the phone tell us that, instead of agreeing to a date and time???] However the food (all very ordinary pub grub) was very tasty and not too pricey. Portion size was reasonable and my husband loved the great range of traditional “puddings”, tucking into a huge slab of bread and butter pudding swimming in custard…….apparently amazing!!! Service was friendly and cheerful. This is not the sort of place we’d return to for a special meal but its fine for a straight-forward bite to eat, if you’re happy with a fair amount of noise.

I stayed one night. Booked on the day and got very good rate for bed and breakfast. Friendly and welcoming staff. The room I was given was a single with en-suite bathroom. The room and bathroom were clean. Unfortunately the one bedroom window was locked shut as was the bathroom window. No fresh air available. Didn’t sleep well. They did not serve food that night so had to go out. They recommend The Fleece Inn. Had a lovely meal there. Breakfast from 8-9am was a disappointment only option was “full English” with 1 egg, 1 slice of bacon, 1 sausage, 1 hash brown and 1/2 tomato and baked beans, 1 piece of white bread toast. I think I saw a few tiny boxes of cereal next to the two boxes of juice. The coffee and tea was tea bags and instant coffee next to the urn of boiling water. The cups were tiny espresso cups which could hardly accommodate the tea bag and a drop of hot water. The food arrived in good time BUT it was greasy and apart from the fried egg everything else was refried and recycled, I didn’t ask for the hash brown but I got it anyway. I tried a bit of everything but it was “gross”. When I politely mentioned to the young manager lady (who cooked the breakfast) about the tiny Coffey cups, she said “well all you have to do is keep refilling it as many times as you want” Overall, for a one night and last minute booking I suppose I should accept you don’t get much if the price is low. I definitely won’t be going back there again.

We asked if we could order food. We're told we could. So, we ordered drinks and were asked to order when ready. Then, when my wife went to order, she was told food was not served on Sundays. We would not have had driinks if we had known this to start with. The point is, shouldn't bar staff know? You couldn't make it up!

Sign outside said food served all-day SO went in only to find they don't do food on a Monday!!!! So why have a sign outside saying serving food all-day when not !!!!!!!!

Overall very disappointing . Burger had no gherkin or chutney and chips not triple cooked. Also grills misrepresented as gammon had no mushrooms onion rings or tomato’s. Overall a very average meal but reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

We stayed here in 2022 at the same time as our latest visit which is our wedding anniversary. Decided to give it a go once more as we were impressed last time. We were not disappointed, clean , spacious room ( no 2) . Staff very pleasant an courteous, food very good and plentiful. A good place for touring around. Would recommend the air museum nearby on Thursday when a Lancaster is run up. Mablethorpe is well worth a trip. Please be careful of the twisty roads. Highlight is a trip to Gibraltar point nature reserve outside Skegness which is very tranquil , with a good cafe Wondering whether to call at the Bell, next year during our.50th wedding anniversary trips out……….Hmm, .

We went to stay overnight at the Bell pub in Burgh le Marsh , Lincolnshire on Saturday 8th April. Unfortunately we were not informed that they had an event on. Upon arrival everything seemed fine, the room was clean and tidy although the tv was faulty, we told the landlord but he didn't seem too bothered. Back to the event which was a comedian + disco, we were in room 7 which was directly above the room the event was in. The event started about 6pm. My husband and I went out and returned about 9.30pm, by this time our room was vibrating with the noise, we asked to be moved but were told they were full. I asked the landlord what time they closed he shrugged his shoulders and replied "how longs a piece of string ". He had a total disregard for our situation, he couldn't have cared less. We went downstairs in the morning for our breakfast and there was no one there. We left our keys on reception desk and left. They didn't even have the courtesy to ring and check that we were OK. It seems to me that all they care about is the money, if you want a good night's sleep then please don't stay here. Ps the event went on until 1am by which time we were so stressed we couldn't sleep anyway.

Went for an evening meal, on arrival we ordered our drinks and asked if we could order food and was greeted with if you hurry up you've got 10 minutes to make up your mind, I assume he was the landlord but needs to be a bit more customer friendly, no greeting or smile. We did order and the food arrived quickly and was nicely cooked, the only thing we didn't like was that instead of proper chips it came with fries ( I assume frozen) It's a shame we weren't made to feel a bit more welcome as we might have gone back again however didn't feel that he wanted strangers in there just locals.

Having looked at the reviews prior to our visit, I was unsure of our reception. We needn’t have worried, the stay was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable (room2), needing a little TLC but being picky. The food in the bar and at breakfast was excellent and the staff can’t be faulted. We used The Bell as a base for travelling around and this was ideal with easy access to everything we needed. We will hopefully return

Wow what an assortment of reviews on this pub/hotel. Like others We stayed in one of the bungalows behind the Hotel. THEY ARE IN THE HOTEL CAR PARK BUT THE HOTEL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM, just in case anyone thinks they are connected. I had no problem with internet service or telephone signal and despite being 65 remembered the four figures for the key code of my cottage. So no issues for my internet and telephone signal. I did not have any issues with bins, flys, parking or noise, just to put some non pub reviews in perspective. Pub great, pub food great, staff great and helpful. I am an honest man so will say that the place could do with a bit of TLC but you could argue its decor adds to atmosphere. We used the pub for several of our evening meals, quick service good food, staff interacted with us I had no complaints, as non residents of the hotel I was a bit cheeky on our last evening and asked if we could have breakfast in the hotel in the morning and they said yes, luved the brekkie and if I was a hotel resident would have no issues with the breakfast. This hotel has real potential as a restraunt, pub and hotel. It is clear that in current financial climate this may take time but based on my interactions and use, I have to say I would recommend the Pub and the Pub food ( Not a seperate restraunt) to anyone the Hotel breakfast good as well if you intend staying there.

breakfast was lovely huge and well cooked , hotel a little tired but exceptionally clean only complaint was mattresses need replacing and a bit noisy , but we knew that being a pub , would definitely stay again but without 6 yr old grandson as music kept him awake . great value for money

Coming across this pub was a happy accident as we were looking for somewhere for tea whilst on hols. The team were unbelievably friendly and welcoming, and the food was fantastic. We’re still talking about it! Proper home cooked meals, nice and hot and HUGE portion sizes! The pub itself is lovely and then there even ended up being some entertainment on in the evening which we stayed for! After being treated really rudely at the pub we tried before this one, it was such a welcome surprise and would recommend without hesitation ♥️

Food and staff are lovely! Would definitely recommend and return soon. Outside seating area was really good

Great Food, Great Pub visited on Friday lunchtime sat outside due to Covid restrictions. They have pulled out the stops to comply with the current restrictions, nice to see plenty of hand-sanitizer etc. The food is superb, we had All Day Breakfast and Gammon. We visited last year too and The Bell is still 5 Stars! Would recommend.

We came for lunch on Wednesday as the sun was shining and we thought we'd make the most of the new improved beer garden and services here. Food and service as great as always and it was nice to hear all the positive comments from all the fellow dinners. They have made the best of the madness that is covid and have put every known process regarding this into place.We can't wait to get back into the pub properly as it's never failed .see you soon

Had Sunday lunch when visiting Lincolnshire. We arrived in the bar area, and as London avocado types we stood out like sore thumbs, but the lovely staff were so friendly and welcoming and made us feel very much at home. Very good value Sunday lunch, good service, well organised. The pub is dog friendly.

Family of four. Main-Fish and chips, Grill and two lasagnes. Dessert- rich hot choc pudding, cheese cake and two carrot cakeService- superb. Our waiter was very attentive, accommodating, polite and knowledgeable. Exactly how front house service should beFood- perfect temperature, good quality fresh ingredients, presented well. The chef knows his stuff!COVID Related- spot on. For those who worry about venturing out, no need. Floor markings, face covering worn by staff & cleaning regime seen.The new proprietors have really set out to provide food and service at a high standard. I afraid I cannot pick one fault without our evening.

go foe midday meay, made to feel very welcoln and covid safe. food excellent value, well gooked and presented

Our first time in the Bell Hotel Inn in burley marsh. We had a meal in here. The meal was very good, good quality food, plenty on your plate, the homemade onion rings were delicious, huge. The staff were all very polite and friendly, well mannered couldn't do enough for you, lovely friendly atmosphere when you walked in, drinks good to.Mr and Mrs Pearson

Excellent food excellent service and very helpful with my elderly father who is extremely disabled. I would recommend this venue to anyone. The new owners went out of their way to assist and make the visit enjoyable thank you

Called in The Bell after a walk around the village. The blackboard outside said lunches served until 2.30 pm (it was 2.00 pm when we arrived). We were told the the kitchen was closing as they weren’t very busy but after a quick ask by the lovely young guy behind the bar we were told we could order. We ordered what we thought would be a “light lunch” of sandwiches with a side order of chips. Wow! The food arrived and it was absolutely gorgeous. The meats were so thick and tasty and the bread was “proper white bread”! Absolutely gorgeous. The chips were “chip shop” style. We would definitely return here for food (been going for many years for drinks with family in the lovely beer garden) and would certainly recommend a trip here. Well done guys!!

Called in on the off chance for a last minute change of plans meal...they could only just seat us as they were very busy (No real surprise). The food is fantastic and fresh and the staff are just as good. A young lad called Bailey served and looked after us all...he is real credit to your buisness..very pleasant and very professional. We will be back again soon but we will definitely book this time. Thank you

Asked for Steak pie meal,Very disappointing all it came with Was chips and gravy,No vegetables unless you payed extra for them.The pie it's self was £9.95 disgusting.Never again..

Good food and great service from a young lad who could not be more helpful. We will be back very soon.

Had a lovely lunch at The Bell Hotel today. It was the first visit to this hotel, and we will definitely go again. Food served promptly, hot and plentiful. Very pleasant staff and excellent hygiene cleaning the table before we sat down and socially distanced tables. Can recommend.

My son was doing a fund raiser by cycling from Derby to Skegness and we need a place to stay over night. Found The Bell Hotel on a web site at only £45 for the 3 of us for the night. So to be honest wasn't expecting much. How wrong I was! Alan the manager was fantastic, Andrew couldn't have been more helpful, (In fact every member of staff was great). We were allow to put our bikes inside over night to keep them secure. The whole hotel had a warm & friendly atmosphere. Room was warm, and the bed was comfy, tip, take soap as there was no complimentary soap, but @ £15 each for the night I am not complaining and they do supply towels. Another tip don't park under the apple tree when the apples are ripe. They don't do breakfast but there is a cafe across the road. In our experience there were no negatives. All I would suggest is that the Bell on the front of the Hotel is painted, a little weeding and sweeping on the from and see if Bateman's could put up new signs.

Food was excellent. Staff could not do enough for you. So friendly and accommodating. All set up for covid .

On a weekend away and just turned up with no reservation. Not only did they squeeze us in (there was 10 of us), we also didnt feel rushed. The service was fantastic and food was delicious. Would highly recommend to any one!!!

We stopped here for work and the room and staff was spot on. Ask for Mary she is brilliant she is always around and never has a day off

We decided to pop in for a bite to eat,after seeing all the posts/pictures regarding covid safety..it really is first class..we felt totally at ease and was treated with real professionalism. The food was just as great as usual and they now have new owners too. Great friendly couple who take time out to chat but totally respect the stay safe guide lines. Hope to see you again soon

Had a lovely meal here on a Friday night. Complimentary bread and olives which was a nice touch. Meal was very good value. Enjoyed watching the karaoke. Very enjoyable evening and we will return.

Food was of good quality and plenty of it , menu is varied and plenty of selections and at reasonable prices. service was friendly and efficient will return again

Nice friendly pub Made Molly the dog welcome with biscuits God food Great prices 2 for £12 at lunch or early evening Down side no longer sell Bateman triple x Also triple cooked chips not Brill

Visited Friday 27th September with our friends for lunch the food was cooked to our liking friendly people and staff we love going for our lunches whenever we visit out caravan and the Sunday lunch is brilliant even our friends want to go again

The Bell Hotel is a great pub with Great food menu and drinks to suit all tastes. Steve the manager has a friendly persona, and welcomes all visitors. I used to go in for a drink and a game of pool on my own as my wife does not play. Steve engaged with conversation, and offered to play pool. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they go out of their way to make the visit a pleasant experience in such a small village.

This is a very good village pub the food is always good and well priced ,the drinks are always spot on.

Excellent meal well presented from Blue Plate menu and well kept beer, pity the access to the bar is restricted once the stools are all occupied. Helpful and polite barman. Perhaps a separate dining area might be of benefit. Certain to return.

looking for a nice pub locally and popped in for a pint. Staff friendly enough and reasonably comfortable. but limited drinks and food - probably buzzing at night.

Good friendly village pub. Dog friendly with excellent food and plenty of it. Varied menu. No complaint.

Thank goodness we only stopped in here for a quick drink while waiting for our Chinese to be ready, as it would be made truly worse if we were dining. Not a lot to say however the rudeness of the landlady, sat on her backside with her gaggle of sheep was something to behold ! If somebody would like to speak to me I would appreciate if it’s not screeched at me across the bar, glass was filthy, would only ever return in order to screech back at the lady lady , really what is wrong!!, you need a customer service course !!! Bring on the next landlord, it wont be long , happy eating

What can I say, if you don't eat here you've missed out. Free olives as a taster, starter of squid was to die for, the wife had mushrooms in a Stilton sauce and if that wasn't good enough bring on the mains!!!!!! Fish medley for me and good old ribeye steak with the best onion ring and nice n large mushrooms , WOW, chips and side salad for both of us. We're stuffed now feel like I've put 2 stone on. We'll done guys fantastic meal in a nice friendly pub.

We called in and all had the mini mixed grill which were really nice and even better with the homemade chips. The menu in the day were 2 for £12 which is excellent value for money and will definitely be going there again.

This review is about the Cottages owned by The Bell in Burgh le Marsh, we rented a 1 bedroom cottage with a large bathroom/shower a lounge and kitchen adequately equiped we where very pleased to stay in the cottage the area was peaceful

We go here every year when on fishing holidays in the area. Always have great food. Plenty choice, reasonably priced and great service. We went on a Friday night and there was a brilliant band on too.

Came here after reading the reviews on TA. We were warmly greeted on our arrival which set the tone for our excellent lunch.

Great value meals here and several offers two for £12 between 5-5pm tuesday to thursdays great quite friendly pub clean and tidy great staff fully recommended to all

We Had a family member across for a visit so decided to treat them to our favourite place to eat. When we arrived they was very busy with a table of nearly 50 people with learning difficulties so had to wait a short while to order ..when we did (after only 15 minutes) the food was great as always. We spoke to a few of the big party as they was leaving and they said they loved eating here as the foods great and we don't get judged regarding our disabilities and difficulties , which I think is a credit to all at the bell. Well done again.

Have eaten regularly at this pub for a couple of years, when it changed hands we stuck with the new owners despite a drop in service and an absent landlord. Last month the usual meal deal had gone up in price from £25 to £30 which was not outrageous but we were not allowed to open the free bottle of wine that came with the meal and consume it on the premises, being forced to purchase extra drinks. Having visited this establishment for what has turned out to be the last time I found that the meal deal (which we were not told of in advance) had now gone up to £38, a massive leap from the original £25. I won't be frequenting this pub any more, the staff are trying their hardest but are lacking leadership.

We stopped in burgh le marsh over the weekend, and decided to eat here once we had unpacked on the Friday evening. I ordered fish, my partner the fish medley, and my little girl the chicken and rice. We were advised that if was 'fish friday' so it was £16.99 for both of our mains....bargain! Even more so as this included a bottle of wine!! Complimentary olives and bread filled a hole for all of us as we waited for our mains, however we were bowled over by the size of the mains when they did arrive. They were huge!!! The food was delicious and we all enjoyed. We were 'persuaded' by each other(!) to have a pudding, so we all shared a chocolate fudge cake. Once again, amazing.

We arrived in Burgh Le Marsh at 1.50pm on a Friday and were more than a little surprised to find that practically everywhere was closed. Although the exterior of The Bell was not particularly prepossessing, there seemed to be no other choice for a hot lunch so we gave it a try and I am so pleased that we did. The interior is a little tired and dated, although it seemed to be very clean and tidy and the barman was immediately extremely welcoming, friendly, polite and courteous - a very good sign. Fortunately we were in time for the last food orders (which was at 2.15pm) and we both chose the Mini Mixed Grill. This was served very quickly and the food was hot, fresh and incredibly tasty. Service was also excellent. At a total cost of under £19.00 for the two meals plus two drinks, this was incredibly reasonably priced for a really well cooked, well presented and well served lunch. Hats off and a most heart-felt 'thank you' to the chef and the barman!

8 of us went food awful moaned they weren’t bothered won’t go back quite rude no way to treat customers

Quality food at the right price. The portions are huge, the service excellent and the food superb.Cannot recommend highly enough.

Called in again today for our lunch. It was fantastic as always and had a pleasant chat with the landlord, whom people are quick to criticise. Food and service great as always..see you again soon

Stopped after a walk on the beach at Skegness. Amazing food - we had fish and chips for 12£ , drinks and fire ! We will be back !

Back again... came in for the two for £12 lunch time deal. Fish and chips both cooked to perfection crisp bubbly batter and lovely triple cooked chips as normal. Ate in bar area in front of a lovely open roaring fire. Great as usual and still quite a few tables in eating which is a great credit to owners/chefs as it's generally very quiet in January time... see you soon

Having eaten here numerous time we thought we'd give the Christmas day food a try...WOW just WOW. had the roasted plum tomato soup with pesto cream and the goats cheese tart for starters both amazing in taste and presentation..then had a foil baked sea bass and a perfectly cooked rack of lamb with the best jus sauce I've ever tasted both served with crispy roast potatoes and 7 yes 7 vegetables. Just about managed to squeeze in a couple of homemade cheesecakes. Totally amazing day.

We ate here on a Thursday night and had the Steak Special (think it was two steaks and a bottle of wine for £25, or something like that). We had the ribeye steaks and they were delicious, as was the Jack Rabbit Merlot wine. We added in starters - we both had the squid which was excellent. They even brought out olives and bread before the starters. We enjoyed it so much that we went back on the Friday for the Fish Special (any two dishes from the fish page of the menu plus wine). We both had the sea bass which was fantastic, and followed it with the honeycomb cheesecake (which had run out the previous night, so we were glad to see it was on this time!). Portions were a good size, food was excellent, staff were friendly, and the warm log fire was appreciated on a cold November night. On the Thurs we got the last remaining table (surprisingly busy at 6pm but I think a lot of people were making use of the special offer which is until 6pm), so we booked a table for the Friday. The only minor downside was no real (still) cider, only fizzy Strongbow or fizzy bottles, but that is only what you'd expect for a village pub, and everything else was amazing. Medium sized car park approached down the little Jacksons Lane alongside the pub

Excellent service, coffee while we waited then a delicious meal and dessert. Could not fault anything

Well we called in again as we were in the area.. lunch time 2 for £12 menu still going strong. We opted for a hunters chicken and fish basket.. both piping hot and delious. Triple cooked chips are amazing..crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. As the title says..Never fails to deliver. Well done

Lovely cosy hotel, great food, great service, nice & warm after getting in from the cold weather! Would definitely return!

The Bell is in the center of a beautiful village, a fabulous traditional venue, staff very friendly and helpful. Steve and Julie could not be more welcoming. The food is excellent and there is plenty of it, breakfast was excellent too.. Highly recommend.

Although it was past serving time the chef was willing to cook for us and we was welcomed by lovely staff. The food was all home cooked and tasted as good as it looked. I would strongly recommend!

The bell is situated in a perfect location in the heart of Burgh Le Marsh. A lovely village on the east coast.

this is a brilliant pub good beers and great food, but the icing on the cake is what wins every time great staff, if you are going for a meal take your appetite with you, and to save a young lady from temptation order the Lemon Cheese cake, the best I have tasted

We used to be regulars here visiting at least once a week, when Rob & Renata were here and we certainly have given the new tenants a good chance ( nearly 6 months! ) even though most locals have deserted them long since, however enough is enough as they're just getting worse instead of better, they have no idea on people skills, the food can be hit and miss and the portion sizes have gone down greatly to what they used to be! We've just had enough of their bad attitude so won't be returning, there's plenty of friendlier pubs locally to go to instead!

Awful management service today, after pre booking 4 days before, we arrived today and they had totally screwed up our table, wrong name, incorrect number of people, not included a dog. Landlord called my young daughter a lier !!!! Absolutely disgusted. The fleece in 50m away is a home from home, food is excellent and you are made to feel part of their family. Would 100% recommend fleece, avoid the Bell like the plague !!!!!!!!!

Used to be a regular here, but not anymore.

2 mini mixed grill and a chicken nuggets for the child. Absolutely stuffed. Really really nice food thankyou.

I went into the bell hotel for a meal with the family. When i arrived i was rudly spoken to and the staff didnt seem to care. One looked like she had been helping her self to drink all even and we see her drop someones meal all over them, And there was no apologie for this either. This place is not up to date with the world. I WOULD NOT recommend this place to anyone with the way we was treated.

We ate here as a large family party. We arrived early and had a few drinks in the bar area and were made to feel welcome. There was a good selection of local ales from Bateman's. We ate in the breakfast room which was nice as we had it to ourselves. The service throughout was good despite them being very busy. Up to 6pm the choice is frkm the lunch menu which was fine for us as there is still plenty of choice. Everyone enjoyed their meals including deserts (chocolate peanut cheese cake recommended). The only thing to watch was the chilli which was very spicy. Overall excellent and well worth calling in for food. We also managed to buy a picture by a local artist !

We arrived to a warm welcome we had our dog with us and he was very welcome.

Lovely little pub, we went for a family meal yesterday and all of our meals were really tasty, portions are very generous (loved the triple cooked chips!) We were allowed to bring the dog in and they brought treats over for the dog which is a nice touch. Warm crusty bread and olives are brought out whilst you wait for your food again a nice touch. Prices are very reasonable & you're getting a good portion of home cooked food, didn't have room for any puddings but I'm sure they would of been just as good. The attitude of the staff is fantastic lots of smiley faces and abit of friendly banter gives a nice atmosphere. The only downside is that we don't live nearer as we'd definitely return, highly recommended for a tasty home cooked meal or a friendly drink

After having The Bell recommended we decided to go and see for ourselves. We weren’t disappointed, the atmosphere, service and food was superb. They couldn’t do enough to accommodate us with my father in law struggling to walk. Will definitely be returning.

We visited the Bell Hotel for Sunday lunch the meal was excellent the beef was cooked to perfection and the rest of the meal was good we then visited again in the week lunch time both our meals where excellent and presented very well the staff where polite and helpful we will definitely visit again

We stayed here overnight earlier this year , we are a family of four and had a wonderful time, the rooms were great, cosy and comfortable and the full English breakfast the following day was fabulous !! The staff are welcoming, friendly and accomodating. We also call in regularly in February every year as a group of adults on our way to butlins Skegness . We have always been made very welcome and have now made this a regular stop on our travels . Can highly recommend the place in all respects .. Well worth a visit !!

We were told by the couple in the antiques shop we would get a good meal here.

We stayed at The Bell for a night whilst visiting friends. From booking to checking out we received warm and friendly service from all. Whilst we only had time for breakfast in the morning (cooked by Steve and fantastic), the pub was full of people during the day and meals looked lovely. If you're looking for a genuine British pub/hotel that offers a warm welcome, fantastic food, at an affordable price...this is the place. Thank you

This was our first visit to this Batemans hostelry and what a good one it was.

Decided on the spur of the moment to book somewhere for a couple of nights and couldn’t have chosen a better place. Rooms and bar a bit tired but everywhere clean. Our room was spacious and bed comfortable. All the meals were amazing one of the best steaks we’ve ever had and you would never leave hungry. All the staff were very friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. Bus stop outside for Skegness. If you’re prepared to look beyond the decor you won’t get a better place. Great value for money.

Back again for a super sunday lunch..the beef is so tender you could cut it with a spoon. Still the same great value for money meals and still fantastic portion sizes..not to put off we had to try the local strawberries and cream for dessert.. Amazing from start to finish. See you again soon.

Visited last Thursday ( steak night) Excellent value for money. Service was great as was the food.Will definitely return when next in the area

A welcoming atmosphere, comfortable surroundings and dog friendly. Steak dinner and chocolate fudge cake delicious and a good plate full too..... More than happy to change menu slightly to suit me (new potatoes instead of chips). Staff smiling and cheerfully busy x I will be back x

Not stayed at the hotel but we go regularly when they have live entertainment which is normally Friday or Saturday. No extra charge when the entertainment is on. The bell is under new management and they are making a good job of it. Friendly staff and good food. You don't feel ripped of by the prices either

We stayed at one of the cottages that are owned by the hotel owners. we had most of our evening meals here Excellent. the owner Julie & Steve, all the staff are very very friendly Made most welcome. Food is superb evening entertainment on 2 of the nights that we were there. Highly recommended.

Far to expensive over £2 for lime and soda cannot comment on food didn’t order was put off with cost of drinks

used to travel from chapel st leonards couple of times a week last year during the season. OMG what a difference didn't have to book only two other dining tables occupied. was told new management. no locals sat at the bar considerably empty and void of atmosphere. had the 2 for £12 the fish was half the size to what it was last year the gentleman who served us was very welcoming but that was it landlord didn't make any attempt to engage in conversation although we did say hello he just walked past without even a cursory good evening wont be going back going to try the fleece come back rob and Renato show them how its done we have only given you a generous 3 star that's down from a glowing and well deserved 5 starfor the previous owners

What a find, stayed in the car park overnight in our Campervan.

Popped in for a impromptu meal as a party of 8 and they could not have been more accommodating. Everyone had a different meal and all were delicious and very good value for money. Bread and olives as a complimentary appetiser. Meals large enough to satisfy any appetite with plenty of fresh vegetables and salad. Can absolutely recommend.

Popped in on the way out of Skegness, and really glad we did! Very warm welcome and excellent, very generously portioned food! Fish and Chips / Gammon, Egg and Chips were great - and despite it being lunch, I couldn't resist the Treacle Sponge. Yum!

Went with a group of 10 ladies for lunch, service was friendly and fast, nothing too much trouble, Food was very tasty and large portions too, A good place for a satisfying good value for money lunch.

Stopped off for a quick beer on the way through to Skegness after a meeting in Spilsby.
