Sunday lunch. Four “seniors”. We were made very welcome by enthusiastic staff. Last visit was in the days of Sir Geoffrey Howe (cabinet minister) when we lived nearby. The place is still atmospheric although some seats/tables are small. The whole lunch was seamless. We had four ‘roasts’. High quality and copious. Lovely fresh vegetables. My wife, French, declared it to be the best roast ever. And, they’re all restaurant critics! We were impressed. Terry Buckland.

As always a fantastic lunch at the Bell. Food was wonderful. Thanks to Scott and the kitchen team for always delivering top quality food. Big shout out to the serving staff too (Vikki) who are always friendly and attentive to our needs. Special recognition for Jemima who was fab! Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

What a letdown! So where to start with this? Arrived at 1.30 so we sat and chose our order only to be told that several items were not available today. But no one told us. We then spent another 20 minutes choosing from the reduced list - 2 of us ordered home made pie - the waiter came back 10 minutes later to tell us only one pie was available so we had to choose something else. A small orange juice and lemonade was ordered with no ice but a pint turned up WITH ice! The home made pie was ordered with chips in lieu of mash so guess what turned up - yes, mash and no chips. So the one with the pie had to wait ten minutes while the chips were cooked. The main waitress did apologise and knocked the drinks off the bill but by then we were amazed by the level of incompetence especially as the restaurant wasn`t exactly busy. The quality of the food was generally poor, and service, if you can call it that, was so slow that it was an hour from when we first arrived til the starters appeared on our table. It is difficult to understand how so many mistakes could be made for a table of four. Surely you tell customers that some items are not available that day when they arrive? We won`t be back again unless something drastically changes.

What a gem of a find. This establishment is well worthy of 5* or more in my opinion. Great establishment, charming table staff (nothing to much) and behind the scenes in the kitchen who provided my wife and I, three exceptional courses. Great value for money and can see why the rural pub/restaurant was packed, always a good sign in my eyes. Well done to everyone for making our evening so enjoyable.

Popped in The Bell after finding we had a good few hours to spare before our flight. We were welcomed at the bar by Nick on arrival. We asked for a table for 2, however we were told it was fully booked but Nick managed to move a table for us to dine straight away by the lovely log burner. The food and service was impeccable and wouldn't hesitate in going back. Fabulous staff and a real little gem of a pub. Well done all. Lisa & John

As social secretary of the Veritable Vulgar Victuallers Society it is rare that we come across such a delight as The Bell in Outwood whilst traipsing through the glorious Home Counties countryside in our mucky Wellington boots with a multitude of dogs in tow, that is quite so welcoming. We had a simply glorious time and were regaled with some delightful stories by the locals and landlords as we imbibed the exquisitely kept ales. We were unable to stay too late to enjoy some bawdy folk singing as Sir Cecil Smallbottom, the designated driver, had an evening appointment with his gout specialist. The only blot of this otherwise tremendous visit was a rather vacuous, pernicious whining from a nearby table who appeared determined to extract a free dinner and seemed rather more suited to Wetherspoons than a glorious country pub. Hats off to the staff who dealt with it with aplomb. We shall definitely be scheduling a return visit!

Booked this for a family birthday and was hoping we'd all have a good, fun evening.. Table was booked well in advance by phone and I ensured the pub read back to me my booking and time (5pm) so to be sure there could be no mix up. Unfortunately, they still got it wrong because when we arrived for our 5pm booking, they told us our booking was for 2pm. OK, so accidents happen and the the staff were absolutely brilliant in squeezing us in on a table for 8 in what seemed to be a very busy pub. However, we were sat on a squeezed walkway which wasn't great so had passing traffic throughout the whole evening. But more irritating and quite unpleasant was that we were sat adjacent to the bar where three local older men were sitting. They were loud anyway, but got even louder with talk constant vulgar obscenities as there as the evening progressed. This was particularly unpleasant for us and became most over-bearing that we decided to cut out evening short and not stay for dessert. I should also add, the one of these extremely obnoxious mean vaped throughout the whole time we were there - I thought this was not legal, yet he was allowed to get away with it. All that said, the serving staff were all lovely and friendly and very attentive. They did everything they could to address the few blips were experienced which we were grateful for. However, it's a shame, but I doubt we would return again because the three guys at the bar just seemed to take over with their loudness and vulgarity, and make the atmosphere extremely unpleasant. The vaping was just a step too far.

The special was Wiener Schnitzel served, in good English style, with chips, mushroom and tomato. Still, two of us found it tasty and different.The main menu had a fairly good range, but as with other Fuller’s pub-restaurants it is not designed for carnivores - a chicken breast was the only proper meat offering, unless you include a burger or pie of the day.I treated myself to a dessert, but the crumble had a strange dusty texture, not cooked through, and the fruit was sour. A nice jug of custard accompanied. The tiramisu was very, very sweet and did not seem to have any marsala or other alcohol.This is not a place for wine lovers. The waitress (who was very good) reeled off the names of the 4 red wines on offer, but the pinot noir did not taste familiar. The Chilean sauvignon blanc was apparently not much to write home about.OK, this was pub grub, which is what Fuller’s presumably set out to offer. Avoid foreign-named dishes, and drink beer rather than wine, and you’ll have a good meal in a very friendly place.

Three of us attended this Inn for lunch, it was a Wednesday, not very busy and we sat outside to start with but it then got windy so we retreated to inside. There is plenty of room inside and out. The staff were helpful and the whole place is arranged for the current virus regulations. They even disposed of a Hornet that came in the restaurant to join us. Not really a children's place inside but very ok for kids outside.The service was prompt but not too pushy, and the food was good, we had a Mrs Owtons burger, Chicken breast, chorizo croquette, and Grilled halloumi Burger. All were fine, cooked freshly and presented fine, but not over fussy.The drinks selection was good and the place has a good pub feel. The car park is a good size. Would go again. Prices are upper mid range for food and drinks, for three drinks, ( Beer ) and three mains it was just over £60.

The food was fantastic - decent portions and very very tasty. We left totally stuffed! Love the ‘local’ atmosphere too, with local friends popping in with their dogs, having a drink and chat, then heading on. Staff were attentive and service was great.

Such a shame. I had been there once before, for lunch and had a reasonable sandwich but was extremely disappointed with their Sunday roast. We ordered 2 roast lambs and a childrens chicken dinner. Thank goodness it was me eating the kids roast as they wouldn't have been able to chew the chicken that was dry and tough. Although the lamb was tender the amount of veg with the meat was pitiful. I have had a much better lamb shank roast for the same money elsewhere, so will be going there in future. Also ordered were fish fingers for a 3 year old, these came up as goujons. They were greasy and still had the skin of the fish on. Not at all palatable for a 3 year old. Such a waste of money. On the up the staff were pleasant.

We visited this restaurant last sunday was highly disappointed not only with the food but with the staff too! I ordered a prawn cocktail starter was as bland as anything the sauce had no taste to it was really strange! So I thought ok ill just wait for the roast dinner , I ordered a roast lamb which really was just awful the lamb had no taste, unseasoned! the roast potatoes were definitely cooked from frozen absolutely disgusting! Hardly any veg just a few soggy carrots. I didnt want to complain as i had a guest woth me who we had invited! We were then just left waiting for a waitress to attend to our table to remove the plates with no luck! we waited around 20mins only for my partner to go to the bar and ask for our bill , can i just say the restaurant had quietened down by this point so there is no excuse to be just left in the corner!

This is not the first time we have visited the Bell and the food was excellent. It was nice to sit outside to enjoy our meal until the smokers lit up. It was so bad with the smoke coming across to our table that we felt we had to move further down the garden .Also another table moved and also complained to us about the smoke. Please could the bell make a designated corner for smokers so we can all enjoy our meals. Further down the garden and not near the tables under cover. Sorry to mention the smoke but it did spoil our meal a bit.

Three of us eat lunch at the Bell on Monday and had a thoroughly pleasant experience. The food was delicious and didn't arrive too quickly (always suspicious when it does). The beer (London Pride) was in perfect condition and fresh. The staff were genuinely welcoming and were extremely pleasant and attentive. Thank you all!

What a gorgeous pub this is. It would appear to be centuries old and furnished comfortably and in keeping with the historic building. It could be a set for a film of a typical english pub. We sat by a magnificent fireplace and had a delicious meal and just hung around enjoying the ambience. There is a garden with tables, though the kitchen extractor was a bit loud, our only criticism, and the pub is also set up as a restaurant. With plenty of parking it's somewhere we'd gladly return. It's a fuller's pub and service and food was of a very good standard; our lunch cost £54 and we had as main courses, fish and chips, served with mushy peas, and a large and tasty bowl of vegetarian pasta. we followed this with sticky toffee pudding and ice cream. We had 3 alcoholic drinks and a coke. Everything was done with style, pretty flowers on the windowsills and tables, attractive glasses for our drinks. Highly recommended.

Excellent service, the roast chicken was very tasty, beef was a bit tasteless but the tiny bit of cauliflower cheese was divine. One complaint was there was no hook in the ladies toilet for your handbag.

The food was delightful, I had the Thai Beef Salad and it has definitely been added to my favourites. The staff were super friendly and willing to do anything we asked, the pub was busy due to being a bank holiday Monday but this didn’t reflect in the service.

Ten hungry walkers were superbly looked after last Thursday evening. Our food, which we had ordered before we set out, arrived very promptly after our return. I believe all were happy with their meals so thanks to the staff for looking after us so well.

Just had a wonderful lunch with 3 friends trying out the new Spring menu at this fantastic pub. I was not disappointed - I had the pan fried salmon. It was a perfect size, looked beautiful and tasted delicious. The service was amazing and we were made to feel really welcome. I can’t recommend this pub enough.

Wonderful settings. Food and service was top notch. Good gluten free menu also. Lovely open fire and obviously locals come in regularly for food and drinks. Great menu in general.

All good from start to finish! Yesterday Sunday 10th March we were at this lovely pub for my husband's birthday lunch. We chose well! The food, drink, service and ambiance couldn't be faulted. The roast dinner were enjoyed by those of our party who chose them and the other dishes for the others were enjoyed immensely. Clean plates all round! Puddings to die for!!

Food is rather hit and miss . Had a burger this time and it was not that great . Staff brillant and drinks always good just list I had more faith in what the food is going to be like . I guest it depends on who's cooking that day. Still an amazing pub and garden . the staff and manager clearly care and it shows

Went with the family on sunday - the roast was insane! Great portions, and a great selection of veg (cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, carrots, swede) with excellent lamb and amazing Yorkshire’s! Yum yum yum.

Food is very good, but that is reflected in the price. Service is slow but reasonable.

Drove 5 miles to this pub which I have used many times. Was kept waiting for ages. Locals just arriving were being served ahead of me. I was ignored by bar staff , one particular barmaid totally snubbed me. If she were to treat a customer of mine in that manner she would be sacked on the spot. I am an easy going individual but I think displaying ignorance toward customers is intolerable.

We had pre booked a table for 4, and on arrival we were made to feel really welcome. The staff were very friendly and pleasant, and our table looked very attractive with a small vase of fresh flowers on it. The menu, though not extensive, had some very interesting choices on it. The soup was very tasty and lovely and hot. I chose the lamb tagine, and we each had different dishes, all were piping hot and delicious, with great service. Thank you - we look forward to our next visit!

Visited the Bell with my two daughters and two grandchildren for lunch. Could not fault either the food or the service. One child being breastfed the other in a highchair we tucked ourselves in a corner so as not to disturb the rest of the customers.The staff could not have been more helpful very good menu excellent quality and reasonably priced. Have not been to this establishment for about two years it has changeFor the better. Will definitely visit again not only for lunch but also for dinner.
