The Bell in Rother

Went for dinner. Very nice. Reasonably priced.

Lovely old pub, great beer garden, interesting gents toilets.

Average service while at pub for Saturday evening dinner with friends. Drinks order was forgot about, table took too long to clear after finishing starter and didn’t offer us if we wanted any further drinks despite all glasses empty (we had to ask). Main’s were over price for delivered quality and under seasoned.

Rooms lovely, evening meal was great, alcohol even better. Quality of breakfast was nowhere near as good as the evening meat, but edible. Staff very attentive and friendly. Rooms fully booked months and months in advance. Very popular place for wedding guests. Overall, great night away with family

Lovely pub, great outdoor space, fantastic food and friendly staff.

A pub that you wish was your local! A fantastic stay, food, drinks and staff all top tier. The pub and accommodation is decorated beautifully with such attention to detail. Would highly recommend for a 5 star getaway.

Great food and atmosphere at the pub!

Quirky gastro pub and great food.

Beautiful dinner in a perfectly wonderful and quirky atmosphere. We were delighted by the ambience and staff and enjoyed an absolutely perfect starter and main and genuinely one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Same goes for the pork and polenta chips. Divine evening ⭐️

We stayed in one of the lodges here with our 11 week old baby for my Birthday. The staff here were very friendly and welcoming. The young waiting staff in the restaurant were particularly kind and made us feel at ease. The food was delicious, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner apart from a guest making it clear that our baby was disrupting her dinner. What let our stay down was unfortunately finding a pint glass put under our back tyre on purpose, if we did not notice, it could have given us a puncture. Not being from the area we could have been stranded with our baby. We were not impressed at all and could not understand why anyone would do that to a strangers car. It looked like it was done from one of the customers in the Bell.

Lovely service food was amazing definitely wil be going back restaurant was warm and cosy

Great Pub worth the trip and we snagged a rack of lamb out side from the medieval copper tardis. Great interior great lunch. & tha dawg was welcomed too. We’ll be back with Arni🤣 best of luck in 2024.

Visited for Sunday lunch in May and again for a weekday early dinner in July. Great food and service on both occasions in this lovely, traditional and slightly quirky decor'd pub.

Stayed at the Bell with my husband, toddler and baby. The staff were so helpful and polite. Had cots ready in the room for us and high chairs ready at our table without us asking. Rooms were full of character and the pub was cosy and bustling.

Lovely for drinks - food has gone severely down hill. Mediocre and over priced I am sorry to says. Service is extremely hit and miss, depending on “who is on” on the day. Ambiance lovely.

I went here on Saturday 8th December, it was so lovely, cosy, welcoming to meet my family, we only had snacks but the staff very polite delivered first class snacks , I will definitely go there again. First class!!!

Went there with 5 friends, great setting and staff very friendly & efficient. The only complaint is the menu - which is very unexciting and overpriced. Most of us had the chicken Kiev which was certainly not worth the £25 (without veg) it was dry & tasteless, which I’ve seen on other reviews so don’t quite understand why they haven’t improved the recipe. The vegetables were equally tasteless. The venue is so inviting & as I said the staff were great but food not so good.

Delicious Thursday night dinner - but the male waiter was heavy handed and had a weird, impatient manner, a bit of attitude there. They were rushing us through our meal because they clearly wanted to go home. They rang last orders at 10pm Felt like Covid times again. Menu is limited too. This is not the first time we’ve been made to feel like this at The Bell. Friends have booked us for dinner in December, so we’ll give you one last try…

Gorgeous pub, lovely ambience and staff, disappointing menu, disgusting food. There was nothing we wanted on the menu. No basic cuts of meat or fish. Even basic fare was unappealing. Once chosen, the batter was stodgy, the burger, tomato and lettuce had sugar in. Second time we have gone recently and same experience both times. A shame as really lovely pub

Food was nice but a massive disappointment that having seen nut roast on the menu on the website, the actual veggie element was cabbage. And not especially amazing cabbage either. The accompanying veg were nice, as was the Yorkshire pudding, but with a modest portion size, it felt like a bit of a rip-off as it was the same price as the meat version. I'm used to paying the same and don't mind if I feel I'm getting a good alternative but this was a let-down sadly.

We've dined here a couple of times, in the week. Lovely Art on the wall, The servers are generally nice and the food's been ok. This weekend we went out of our way to try Sunday Lunch. We won't be making that mistake again. The pub is in a great location, the weather was good and we were in good spirits, at the start at least. The Ballantine of chicken was dry, weird tasting and frankly inedible. The roast potatoes had been sitting around and required a good deal of sawing with the knife to get through. All my wife could eat was the carrots, which, to be fair were nice. We waited and waited for it also.The server was ok untill he asked the question about seeing the substancial amount of food left on both plates, then went away and came back with a very dismissive explanation that the chef was sorry. No offer of a refund for the mains, and nearly £100 later we left wondering WTF had just happened. Just weird, we both wanted this place to be good, but it just isn't.

This pub makes a great thing out of being quirky. This means that many of its features are just pointless and often irritating. The Bell website is gushing and almost completely uninformative. We stayed there to use a gift voucher issued by the Epicurean Club, now taken over by Loupe. It was the only hotel in the Home Counties that we could find that hadn't ceased trading with the Club. Warning to everyone- avoid Loupe-! That said, the room was pleasant, the bed comfortable and the staff friendly. The unhelpful website had suggested a gourmet experience, which we were looking forward to. But the only fare on offer was basic pub food, some of it given a fancy description, but still very ordinary stuff- chicken or cod. So we had sausages and mash, which were excellent but not exactly gourmet . The pub seems to be popular with the locals, though its drinks are expensive and the wine list ruinously so. Our experience wasn't bad, but I wouldn't recommend travelling any distance to visit the Bell. One can pay too much for quirks.

The tasting menu was without fault, this is truly top quality food delivered in a fantastic air-conditioned setting. The stables is a small intimate restaurant attached to the main pub but the evening really was without fault. The excellent 5 course menu was supplemented with 2 lovely hors d’oeuvre dishes and sweet petit fours. The staff were excellent providing grey information on each dish. The stables is only available one day a week so be sure to book.

We had a lovely stay here. Our room was quirky and the food was delicious! For couples and families, this pub has plenty of character. We will be staying again :)

I have fond memories of this pub. Now, not at all. Greedy owners who have taken over a much loved local pub and driven out the locals with no regard to village life with outrageous priced drinks and food. Only suitable for those with high wages that don't mind being so outrageously overcharged and no soul. Shame on the owners, how can you ruin such a valued community asset, the local village pub.

This Place has been on the bucket list for a while now, as the husband stayed here a few years back for work and fell in love with the place, knowing that I would love it! So for our 13th anniversary we decided to celebrate it here! Wow! Absolutely beautiful! Rae was so lovely and welcoming, told us a bit behind the bell and the history of it all. So lovely! We loved all the quirky things, and every time you looked anywhere you would notice something different! The rooms are absolutely beautiful! Extremely comfortable bed! The only 2 hang ups we had really were the pricing of the food, bit overpriced but lovely none the less. Just think £18.50 for a burger and fries (not even a salad on the side) is a bit excessive, and also when we were sat down and the waitress asked us if we wanted water for the table, we didn't expect to be charged £3.95 for it when she didn't actually tell us it wasn't free. Maybe if the food was priced a bit better value it would of been perfect! Other than that, it was great!

What more could you ask of a cosy, modernised but still characterful village pub! Delicious lunch, loads of local ales on tap, and thrumming with the vibe of local regulars enjoying a weekend lunch.

We came here having had a great Sunday lunch on our previous visit, which was wonderful. This time the food was awful. The staff were very nice though. We were informed that they have their summer menu (all cooked on a barbecue). The menu looked pricey (and we’re used to eating out at nice places - price isn’t a problem for good food). So chicken (£22) and steak (£32) comes with sides as extra. These sides include such things as broccoli, sweetcorn and oven chips (described as skin on fries!). These side dishes range from £5 to £7! The broccoli and sweetcorn were in tiny portions and charred. The chicken had been oven cooked and finished on the barbecue. It was boneless and lacked crispness and flavour. The steak was simply inedible (tough, cold and devoid of flavour). We waited over an hour for the privilege of this food being served. Before two of the main courses arrived they attempted to bring us two burgers (someone else’s order). After we declined the two steaks they brought us two pulled pork burgers (we’d asked what would be the quickest). They were inedible as the sauce was so sweet. These burgers were served with a very cheap looking apple sauce. I really am so shocked that a Michelin listed restaurant can serve this food! To their credit the staff recognised the problem and didn’t charge us. We are not the only ones who are disappointed with the summer menu, there are two more reviews on the hotel website (for food).

Lovely staff, beautiful pub but the food was terrible. A mackerel the size of a sardine for £15, still half frozen. In fairness, the staff replaced it and this time it was cooked but even smaller. How I wish we'd taken photos. Eight asparagus spears...

We came to visit on a Sunday with some friends. We spent hours here and eventually after eating we went and sat outside in the sunshine. Delicious roast dinner, a real good drink’s selection and a lovely area to sit in. What more could you...

We were recommended The Bell by my god daughter and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious the setting quirky and charming and the wine was yummy. This was all enhanced by the excellent service provided by our charming and delightful waiter Oscar who...

We have lunch at The Bell everytime we go to UK. As always, the place was beautiful, the staff very helpful and the food delicious. Nice to see that the quality remains the same year after year. We’ll come back next time!

I was disappointed with my dining experience at The Bell Inn. We were shown to our table by a waitress who apologised for the restaurant being empty. As we were being seated I overheard the waiter at the table next to us also apologising to...

We loved our visit to the Bell in Ticehurst. Really cute and cosy inside. Lovely service - our waiter was a really friendly young guy who gave great recommendations, we had the cod fritters which were delicious, short rib and the sea bass for mains...

I really struggle to find anything less than perfect with this place. The staff, service, beer and food are all outstanding. Yes it is quite pricey but it's in an expensive looking village and when things are this good who minds paying a bit extra.

The husband came up trumps! Chauffeured to The bell on my birthday for one of the most amazing 50th birthday events. This is up there in our favourite places to visit, eat and stay and I couldn’t have been happier when we pulled up! On...

Pathetic and stingy portion sized. £22 for a pasty I could have eaten 4 plates of what was served. Rip off Briton in a nut shell. Not only was the pasty tiny but the potato cake was literally a mouthful as was the butter nut...

Was this the Head Chefs day off or has the quality really gone southwards. Menu is very limited and even then it wasn't good. I had a lamb shank (not difficult to cook) but it was presented overcooked. Came with a spoonful of watery mash...

We stayed here for one night to celebrate my birthday and were fortunate to pick an evening when they were doing the taster menu. From the moment we arrived we were made welcome and all the staff were helpful and attentive. We were early for...

We booked at the new fine dining 'The Stables' restaurant. The service was attentive and informative and we decided on the surprise taster menu. It was a brilliant choice as the food was delicious and beautifully presented. My father chose the accompanying wine flight and...

Eating here used to be enjoyable: the food was good and the atmosphere excellent. Now, the atmosphere remains, but the food quality is abysmal, tasting as if it's factory-made and reheated in the kitchen. And yet it's priced as chef-made.

After having been recommended we were very disappointed in todays visit. The starters were very good except the crackers with the potted salmon were inedible. Mentioned this to the staff who were very good but no reaction from kitchen so left on plate! The main...

Our supper was delicious, and the glasses of wine available well thought out. All our food was well-prepared, and much was local. The pub was catering for a large wedding, but they coped very well and the wedding celebrations didn’t interfere with the packed dining...

Came for Sunday lunch,excellent food and lots of it. My husband had beef which was good and I had pork with the best crackling ever. Quirky pub with very attentive staff

Fantastic Sunday lunch, The beef cooked to perfection tasty and a nice cut veg perfectly cooked and a large Yorkshire pudding potatoes crunchy. My only very slight observation was not enough gravy but I think that’s personal taste more than anything else. Will be back...

We stumbled upon this charming Inn while on a walking holiday in Sussex. The food, service and ambiance is top notch, with polite, well trained and friendly staff, we felt very welcomed and the quality of the food was superb. I had the smoked duck...

A typical English lovely old pub , serving Harvey's bitter, Nice courtyard garden at the rear. Also a hotel

Couple of great employees that they need to cherish excellent service and really contributed to a great day c

£22 for the tiniest cheese tart on the planet, barely 2 bites. Left feeling very ripped off. Mentioned to waitress my disappointment but seemed to fall on deaf ears. Used to be so good but not any more. Will definitely not be returning ever.

Well... I'm sure as a hotel this is a nice place in a quaint village. I have not eaten there but as a Michelin I'm sure it is wonderful. The gardens are a delight. Good to sit outside with a large glass of Chenin Blanc...

A nice quirky pub, but sadly for us the food did not live up to expectations. The menu is very tempting - as you would expect for a restaurant in the Michelin Guide, and is "masterchef" like in it's description. The food was nice, but...

Back to the Bell I remember pre-lockdown but we did notice the uplift in food prices!! We had the cod and the duck as mains and whilst we couldn't fault the food, the duck breast portion was small (and didn't have the skin on it?!)...

There was not a lot of choice on the mains menu but we did enjoy the Sea Bass. We would have had a dessert but there was only a choice of 2 both of which were 'heavy puddings'. The service was adequate (so this dropped...

Poor menu choice….only one choice for vegetarian…poor quality of food…over priced both food and wine…would not recommend. Wine more expensive than London prices…

"Apparently" mentioned in the Michelin guide, we went for Sunday lunch. £89 for a soup and two tepid roast beef lunches, plus three eyewateringly expensive glasses of average sauvignon blanc (£9.80 a glass!) Service was good, it was reasonably busy, and there was nothing specifically...

We recently booked for a family Sunday lunch. What the Bell calls a Sunday roast is not what most other people would call a Sunday roast. A whole roast chicken plonked on a plate!! That’s it…No other choices available. Very odd. The Bell are obviously...

Totally delicious lunch with husband and old friends. We love this pub. Sadly they still don’t seem able to stock the wines on their wine list!

Popped in one afternoon for a lunch with my girlfriend, service was attentive I couldn't really fault it. The menu is quite limited, and if you're a vegetarian you'll find it even more limited with litteraly one option as a main course or "big plate"...

I arranged to meet an old friend for lunch at The Bell because I'd been before and had great memories of the food and staff. HOW things have changed - and not for the better. We arrived on time for our booking and eventually a...

We are very lucky people - The Bell is our local pub. We don't drink, so rarely just go in for a drink, so we went in yesterday for a spot of lunch. It was our first meal out since lockdown. What a treat it...

Although the outside bbq area is well set up and quirky, there is little choice for vegetarians at The Bell. My friend could only select a baked sweet potato which was small and at £7.50 hugely overpriced. The menu is far reduced from earlier visits which is probably blamed on Covid but it is quite hard to scratch around this menu for something you fancy even if you're a carnivore. More choices on all fronts needed!

Considering all the challenges facing pubs and restaurants at the moment and especially with the incessant, heavy rain this weekend while rules don't permit indoor dining, this was an incredible meal with wonderful, efficient and friendly service and my friends and I were blown away....

We went here for lunch on Sunday and had a wonderful time. The staff were so friendly and the food was brilliant. The music was Latino and made you feel as if you were abroad somewhere! Would definitely go back.

This is a really wonderful local pub. The staff were lovely, the gardens are great and the menu is really worth checking out. Also great for kids.

Went for a family lunch. Little choice on the menu (not a problem in itself) - cos of Covid you know.However, our portions were meagre and small, and rather overpriced. The the burger was substantial though that was undercooked inside but chared on the outside! The only option to suplement the main dishes seems to be oily McDonalds fries. Sent back a pint of flat watery Perroni.I don't take any pleasure in leaving a bad review for one of our local pubs - but we seriously considered visiting the mobile chip van parked opposite as we left!Our message to the Bell - Wake up !!

Excellent country gastrointestinal in the heart of the village. Excellent food from a limited menu. Very helpful and obliging staff in a quirky old English pub. No surprise it has recently won awards. We hadn’t booked but turned up on spec and although very busy the staff were able to fit us in. Highly recommended

Amazing food - highly recommend! Honestly so good. Creative, different, beautiful to look at, delicious. Can’t wait to go back!

So tasty! The limited menu didn’t limit your choices. Tapas type feel to mix and match dishes. An extremely pleasant eating experience.

I had the burger which was nice and cooked very well as was the chicken dish so I was told by my partner. The olives and bread were also good the olives were whoppers and the bread and oil along with the balsamic were excellent. The staff were polite and efficient which was considering the circumstances pleasing. The only negative was the stables were a little draughty but this didn't detract too much.

Our first visit was marred by a lack of service, a shame because the food is good. Noticed that staff were not handling cutlery correctly and used the food end to pass to diners not the handle.Had difficulty ordering a second drink - staff went absent.Waited 15 minutes to pay the bill, and when bored sought the waiter in the bar.He admitted that he failed to mention to us that the fact the card machine only worked in the bar area. The Bell APPARENTLY claims to be passionate about culture, people and food.The Bell APPARENTLY is not passionate about service

We had five nights at The Bell Inn and, on balance, the overall experience was 'satisfactory' though some elements failed to thrill which was a pity.The main issue was with the evening meal because the menu is so very limited I really have to scratch about to find a supper I wanted, and the second night was a make-do for us. The food we had was good, better than average, but expensive, modiste portions, and not value. All sides are extra yet the menu offered very little choice and what was ordered was again expensive and lacking. Dull! How difficult can it be? The result was that we went out for the remaining suppers whilst when we booked we were really fully expecting to be eating in the inn every time. Holidays at home tosh - I am reminded why I find myself not in the UK every year for years.The inn has clearly had a fortune spent on the building and it has been very well done to create an interesting, traditional, quirky, characterful fun venue. A tad formulaic perhaps but good enough to get away with its clearly professionally manufactured style.Our room was nice enough, the bed too soft for me but if you are a mouse who likes to sleep in marshmallows you will be happy. The whole village was having its roads resurfaced whilst we were staying so it was fantastically disruptive - mind-blowing! And when the road-men knocked-off there were fast-food trucks that pitched-up running generators in the square - what a racket!!! And then at the tables to the front, raucous drinkers would get louder and shouty as the night wore on. Still that's a pub/inn for you - ha!So would I recommend - just about I think (with such caveats as about). But would I book again? I think I have rung that bell enough now and I will venture on to pasturers new (and yet I am a creature of habit with several favourite hotels I return to dozens of times over many years).There is a big public carpark at the back so that's a big tick in the box for the inn - yup. And I took a walk out across the fields to the back and that was very nice. Indeed the whole area is charming - totally recommend the landscape, buildings, villages and all that. Good for a trip with country houses, the lake, the arboretums and all sorts. More than enough for couples and kids.

Myself and my partner spent a night in the love nest, we had been looking forward to this for weeks and it definitely lived up to our expectations! The room was gorgeous, complete with a bath in the room, log burner, sky window and roof terrace. We had a meal in the restaurant which was lovely and all the staff were very kind and attended to all our needs and requests, breakfast was included which was also lovely with plenty of choice. The only negative was that the window in the roof which could be seen from the bed to watch the stars was controlled by a button at the beside, it was extremely loud when opening and closing and there was a blind to close overnight, also very noisy. There were plenty of toiletries left however, it would have been nice to have a nice bottle of bubble bath as we got through all of the shower gels trying to make bubble bath. These were only small factors and didn’t change how much we enjoyed our stay, but would have been an added bonus. We will definitely be visiting again and maybe trying a different room next time, would definitely recommend to couples for a romantic getaway.

My boyfriend and I booked to stay very last minute and it was perfect for what we needed. All the staff were so accommodating especially during dinner and breakfast. The food was SO tasty and the whole place was so clean! Perfect little quirky hotel :)

The food at The Bell is stunning. The chicken dish was one of the best I have ever eaten. My friends had the swordfish and were equally impressed. We all had the chocolate cremeux and it was chocolate perfection. Fine dining in a lovely historic setting. The service was simply amazing too. If you are in the area make sure you stop by. In fact, this place is worth travelling quite a distance to.

We’ve stayed here before, the rooms are lovely and we previously enjoyed the pub, the food and the wine so wanted to come back for another chilled weekend. The team are just as friendly and the C-19 changes subtle but reassuring. But oh my....the food has ramped up in quality hugely. Everything we had was a flavour sensation and cooked to perfection. The chef is using many South American influences to great effect. The pichana steak was just amazing but it’s difficult to have a favourite as we also enjoyed the octopus, the chicken and the swordfish.The pub garden is really well thought out and they have created an outdoor kitchen to literally cook on fire....some added theatre and more flavour!The wine list is excellent, interesting and varied.A great visit and give we are only an hour away are sure to return.

A lovely evening under the tree after a scorching hot day. We enjoyed a family dinner with delicious food, especially the lamb, lovely service from Claudia and her colleagues with the bonus of the eat out discount. Quirky yes, but not weird, just a lovely place with great wine and food and friendly people. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed a superb lunch at The Bell en route home to London from the coast.We were seated outside beneath a beautiful Mulberry tree, on a glorious summer's day. The food was excellent: whole chicken in honey, aubergine salad and cheesy chips. The staff were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The seating in the garden was well spaced, and a one way system was in place to enable us to safely negotiate our way around the pub.We are looking forward to eating at The Bell again very soon.

I found this pub on Trip advisor and liked the look of it, we then stumbled across it. It’s located in a lovely small village and the pub is brilliant... very quirky, and full of oddities and the food was perfect, and my husband and I are fussy and hard to please... service was great to. Highly recommend

Our first lunch out, out of lockdown and it didn’t disappoint! Have always wanted to try the Bell - great outside seating and quirky surroundings! Really enjoyed our lunch - and great wine. Staff are a credit to the Bell. Thank you

Hadn’t heard of this place but got a great offer in secret escapes which meant we got our room half price. Don’t be fooled by the outside, it’s under renovation but this doesn’t affect the cosy pub inside or the separate rooms out in the garden. Worth paying extra for the lodges as they are large and luxurious. The dinner was good quality apart from the dry ham and the breakfast well cooked - could have done with more choice and some fruit though.

We stayed at the Bell for two nights in a double room which was decorated with imagination. The bathroom had a very large bath, coffee and tea was provided. The breakfast was outstanding and staff friendly and helpful.

The menu has a good selection and the food is well prepared and presented. Excellent value for very fine food. The restaurant has a nice ambiance in a quirky setting and friendly staff efficient staff.... The toilets are an amazing design!! Go see good fun..

Just happened to be out looking for a place for lunch on a Sunday, didn’t have a reservation but they found room us and boy I’m glad they did! I went for their roast and it was amazing, beef was so tender and the potatoes tasted amazing! My wife went for the fish and chips and my daughter the burger both were very happy. It’s a lovely pub wish we could’ve spent more time their. Staff were lovely and helpful.

We're so pleased we stumbled across this place. The staff could not have done enough for us from showing us to our room and checking the temperature was sufficient to making us drinks just as we requested at the bar! A very calm and friendly atmosphere felt amongst staff and the locals, making our stay even more relaxing than we had hoped given that this was a very last minute booking.What we saw of the building was fascinatingly quirky with relentlessly entertaining features and quotations at every turn and I can only assume the rest is just as pleasing. The room itself was spacious but cosy, beautifully decorated with all the necessities and the most comfy bed.The highlights were the log fire burning late into the evening and first thing the next morning (definitely needed with the stormy weather) the exquisite roll top bath and the delicious breakfast cooked to order before we checked out! Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. Would love to return to try out one of the beautiful looking lodges and book for dinner next time! Thanks for having us!

2 night post Xmas/New Year stay and my wife and I Christmas present to each other. We needed a break after a hectic festive period and The Bell was just perfect. Charming and welcoming, with excellent service and food. We are already looking to book a long weekend in the Summer

We stayed 3 nights in the cottage calledBetween the lines. A lovely, quirky and comfortable accommodation. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and both breakfast and dinner menus were satisfying and tasty. Highly recommend making a reservation for dinner as it gets crowded. Service was excellent throughout.

Excellent service and food. Stayed post Xmas for a little getaway. Staff very attentive , accepts dogs. Will be back for sure when the weather picks up to test out fire pit !

Nice ambience with country pub feel. Roast dishes were very good and tasty but helpings are "medium" if you very hungry. Prices are in the "big helping" range
