The Bell at Salford Priors in Stratford-on-Avon

Heard about the Friday fish and chips.we called in and must say that they were some of the best fish and chips I have ever had and better still only £3:95. My friends couldn't believe that was the cost. Definitely be going back

Restaurant was very quiet but nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Food was freshly cooked and very tasty. Price was reasonable

Once again a lovely meal at this lovely pub. Lovely atmosphere and service. Booked the Friday Fish which was fabulous as usual ,cooked on arrival lovely and fresh

We had dinner here I had steak and ale pie and chips and my wife had fish and chips. The meal was served in the restaurant not the bar. The food was very good and the staff friendly. They prefer people to book in advance for food. We had been lucky that we walked in and were able to order the food. The only down point was that normally you need to call ahead and book for food. This seems strange for a pub/restaurant in an area that would not normally be busy.

Bell Inn Evesham Road Salford Priors Evesham WR11 8UU FOOD HYGIENE RATING. - 1. MAJOR IMPROVEMENT NECESSARY. Date of Inspection. October 2023

A group of eight went for fish and chips. The price was very reasonable and they tasted great. Those interested in old vehicles will find the vintage motorbikes fascinating.

Had my brothers 40th birthday here (15/12/23). Food was incredible! Fresh, hot and overall delicious! Staff (James, Claire and Maggie) were so friendly, hardworking and nothing was too much trouble. Huge asset to the pub. Thankyou so much for hosting the party!! Highly recommend this pub for drinks or a meal.

Stopped here for one night as we were visiting family in the area. Room was spacious and very clean. Checked in without any issue and was told that if we had any problems to let them know straightaway. We didn’t need to as everything was perfect for what we needed.

Thanks James for an excellent buffet and service for my husband’s 80 th Family and friends get together. A lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, where the customer is looked after and catered for, with piping hot food which is an absolute bargain and the fish and chips are superb. Highly recommended as we eat here on a regular basis

We have been a couple of times now for fish and chip Friday. Excellent value for money. Always piping hot and delicious.

Stopped for four days room was very small but very clean and tidy drinks at the bar were very good prices very good too food was good too the owner James made you feel at home plus the locals made you feel welcome too would visit again

Friday night is fish night. What value - fantastic fish and chips at under £4! We haven't tasted such good fish and chips for several years. The chips were triple fried. Recommend booking for a Friday as very popular.

Very nice home Cooked food but never had to pay for a glassof water go to alot of lovely pubs in Torquay even looking over the sea when you ask for a glass of they come with a jug of water wasn’t informed you don’t do tap water love the pub and the motor bikes

Arrived today for a lunch and was told they had a party in and would need to wait 30-45 minutes. We explained we only wanted a main course as per the the website and was told we could wait in the bar with a drink. After 1 hour was brought the menu for 3 course meal at £16.85 per head. Explained again we only wanted a main course and told this was ok. Had a lovely meal but on receiving the bill was charged for 3 courses. When queried and mentioned the website we had previously looked at was informed that on a lunchtime they only do the 3 course menu and the website is not theirs and they are unable to alter it. So we ended up paying the full bill but felt cheated and will not be returning BEWARE

We happened upon this pub looking for a meal that evening (Tuesday). The lovely owner said that he could accommodate us but there wasn’t much food as he was usually closed. He came up with duck, scampi or ha, eggs and chips. We opted for the duck. He took my name and number and arranged to arrive around 6:30. Such a lovely friendly pub, a couple of drinks then we were taken into the restaurant. Loads of old classic motorbikes in there, fab. It turned out to be a set meal, soup (didn’t know what it was, surprise) turned out to be mussel soup. Absolutely delicious with a nice big g chunk of bread. The duck was cooked perfectly, came with mash and fresh veg and home made soup plum chutney, delicious 😋 Thought that was it but no, dessert was delicious included as well, out came a Oreo cheesecake, again homemade. Superb welcome, delicious food, we will be back! Thank you 🙏

The Bell is not what it was. Poor service that seems to be because of a lack of staff. A single waitress covering the restaurant, kitchen, and bar is not enough and the result was slow, inattentive service. The food in the restaurant was cheaply priced but the quality was poor. The starter was inedible. The bar has a very limited wine list of a couple of low quality wines. I could not find one I would want to buy. Overall, The Bell is adequate as a pub for a pint of lager but not somewhere I would recommend for a nice meal.

We have been here on a Friday for the fish and chips, goodness what value, half the price of buying at a chip shop. Once booked for 18 of us and all the food was hot and lovely. Had Sunday lunch here recently, 3 courses for less than £12, great value again and good service, I think there were 8 of us and we have just booked for 8 in a couple of weeks and 14 in November, we wouldn't do that if it wasn't 5 star

We only booked a table in the morning and the landlord (and chef) James could not have been more accommodating. He opened p on a night that he currently does not cook! And made sure that the awkward ones amongst us (celiac and dairy intolerance) had a nice meal too. Small menu but that makes sure there's little waste. Can heartily recommend the steak & kidney pie & mash. And the bread & butter pudding is to die for, best there's ever been. Thoroughly recommend the Bell.

This pub does the best fish and chips on a Friday night for an excellent price, also Sunday lunches are wonderful. Very tasty, hot, very good size portions. Other food on the menu looks good as well. Very friendly, happy staff, always welcoming. Great place to just have a drink and relax. Thank you James and your excellent team :-)

Looking for somewhere to eat thought we'd try this place as the Vineyard pub up the road didn't do food! Wow what a place nice free house pub so the drinks where very reasonable, we booked a meal with the owner and we were not disappointed, an amazing host, cook and incredible motorbike enthusiast. Staff were very friendly, the chefs food was on point set menu £14.95 for two courses, my sea base on a bed of mash with garden peas almost melted in my mouth, missus had stake and ale pie, packed full with beef, seriously full must been a local pie, puddings Sticky toffee pudding or Chocolate fudge cake, very tasty. Oh and the Classic motorbikes dotted about, BSA's a couple of Royal Enfield's just a few of 25 the owner has in total, great to talk to someone so passionate about any Classic items.

Booked for four on a Friday for lunch. We were surprised on arrival to find out it was fish Friday. This had not been mentioned when I booked despite the assertion by the boss that he would have done. However we decided to stay for the fish and chips especially as we couldn’t believe the price. Well we were not disappointed. The portions were a very good size and both the fish and the chips were piping hot . Taste wise excellent so glad we stayed. The puddings were also excellent and appeared to be in house. Overall a good experience to be repeated and the only surprise was how few people were eating.

What an amazing Sunday lunch ! Thank you to James and his team . Theres everything you expect on the plate and more , and what quality the food is . Also James’s award winning bread and butter pudding is amazing . My husband will only ever have that when we go . Thanks to you and your team for a fantastic Sunday lunch ..

Very good food and drinks.five of us went there for food and drinks. I have not been there for a while and was very impressed with the food. No Complaints from any of us.a good proper pub food place not too fancy but very good quality. We will return very soon.

We booked 2 tables of 10 for fish Friday and were not disappointed - the food was fresh, hot and very tasty. Nice ambience and very good value for money.

Stopped here on the off chance to find Lovely food a warm welcome, well worth a visit and will try and come again. James's award winning bread and butter pudding was indeed award winning!

Friday Night Fish & Chips WOW really lovely, good portion and great value for money, need to book as it gets busy we just managed to get in. Would recommend it.

I've been to the Bell many times over the years but unfortunately it has gone downhill since reopening with new people running it. They are actually nice people but unfortunately the service and standards have dropped. I went there for a meal last night. It was almost empty but I had to stand waiting to be seated for around five minutes, with no sign of anyone to tend to customers. When I was finally seated, it then took a long time to be given menus. There was no apology at any point for such long delays. There was only one other person dining, so I don't see why we had to wait so long. The food was very nice. It always is, and that's why this review is two stars instead of one. However, the service was very poor. When I had to wait at the bar to pay (another wait of several minutes), I noticed the man serving that night was sitting down chatting to someone instead of looking after his customers. Another issue was the amount of flies swarming around, landing on me and my partner, trying to land on our food, etc. It made for very uncomfortable dining. The one other person dining was swarmed by flies too, and was clearly annoyed. That amount of flies is a bit concerning - something needs to be done about that. Finally, something that's happened just about every time I've been to the Bell in the last year or so is regarding mustard. We've asked for French mustard to go with steak but they keep bringing out a brand called Frenchies Mustard. This is not French mustard, does not go with steak, and actually isn't very nice. This is such a simple thing, so I don't understand why they keep getting it wrong. The Bell is fairly local to me. I want it to succeed. The people running it seem nice. But sadly standards have seriously slipped. Better service is required, along with dealing with all the flies and understanding what French mustard is. I will visit again in future and hopefully I'll be able to leave a better review.

we called in on the way down to the cotswolds for a mini break on a Sunday lunchtime, service, food and ambiance were fabulous. A great variety of veg with the carvery freshly cooked and Yorkshires were brill. It is places like this that make you realise that you're being ripped off at so many other places. The bill for two 3 course carverys and drinks Just over £30, Highly recommended!!!

One of the best around worcs + warks. Staff are lovely food tremendous . All freshly done when we arrived at 2/30 on a Sunday . Value for money

Amazing fish and chips for £2.95!! With great serving sizes, lovely accommodating staff! We had 2 fish and chips, Mediterranean lasagna and pork and apple pie. All were lovely, with generous portions.We were travelling up from Somerset on our way to Stratford-upon-Avon and had booked a table. We were late and called to rearrange- the staff said they usually stopped serving at 8 but to let them know how the journey went and they served us fab meals even though we finally arrived about 8.20. They need more staff as the two lovely ladies were rushed off their feet but they are advertising.

Visited this pub for their Sunday lunch, couldn't fault it, £10.95, chose of 3 meats, fresh vegetable, roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding, also included in this price is a chose of starters and pudding, excellent value. Lovely, friendly, happy staff. Draught ciders, lagers and beers £2.45 a pint anytime of day/time. Will be returning and recommend a visit.

Had a fantastic time this afternoon. Great conversation and a good laugh. Will go again without fail. Thank you. X

Delightful staff and really inexpensive. There was no beef on offer, which was disappointing for Sunday lunch. However, an over-cooked Yorkshire pudding did arrive with the pork whether you thought it went with the meat or not.

We’ve recently moved near to The Bell. What a find! Excellent customer service, the couple who run this place really care about the experience you have with them.

we have not been to the bell for a while ,we booked a table for tonight and were very impressed with both the service and the quality of the food. it may only be a little roadside village pub but it served very good portions of food tonight i had a homemade lasagne and my wife had salmon . the wine by the bottle is amazing value and all the other drinks are value for money. we finished with a bread and butter pudding between us and very good it was. we will be returning very soon well done to all involved . this country needs more pubs like this .

I booked a table for two 1 week in advance as a treat for my moms birthday, we have visited the place before many times with family and friends in larger groups and we always recommend it to others. We received a phone call a few hours before we were due to arrive they informed us that that due to a lady minute 30 people birthday booking they had to cancel our reservation, we told them how disappointed we were so they then offered to seat us on bar stalls ( like parrots)in the bar to eat our Sunday lunch to which we politely declined. We tried to make other reservations elsewhere but it was to short notice so we ended up staying at home. It’s my moms favorite place and she was very upset to be let down on her birthday, doubt if they would have cancelled us had we booked in as a larger group of people.... how rude and greedy of the owners to treat valued regular customers in this way. We not be making any future reservations and we have told our family and friends who will not be returning either.

Three of us went for an evening meal. ~The menu choice was good and the food when served all excellent, we all had steaks which were all cooked exactly as ordered and very nice. Publican and wife very friendly and I think recently taken over, so encouraging signs ..

We didn't get off on the right foot as we had read a website which said the pub offered three courses for £10.95, and we had recommended it to our friends. The waitress told us she knew of no such menu. I see that a three-course meal for under £11 is also mentioned as available in an April TA review. Therefore, people should be aware that this is not now the case. I suggested to the owner that the website be corrected but he said they had tried unsuccessfully - as it is not their own website.

We popped in for Wednesday lunch. The food (seabass and salmon) was lovely. We shared bread and butter pudding, excellent. All served by a lovely hostess. We would come here again.

Lovely staff, great food and so reasonably priced. It’s our new local. Have also been with children and they are welcomed. Locals are friendly.

Me and my husband have just returned from having an amazing meal cooked to perfection, this was to celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary.

Had a lovely birthday meal with great food and great service,and very friendly.a really nice ambience.

This is a lovely pub and the lady who serve us was so helpful the price it so cheap we were fishing 3 miles up the road and would have visit more but for the fact had to drive but that’s not this pubs problem would recommend to any one in the area to pay a visit hope to find a place to stay within walking of this place and then drive to our fishing places near by so hope to see you again very soon

the waitress was good food was awful, Veg including roast potatoes were frozen bought in and not even cooked still hard. Bread and butter pudding was black and burnt and not a bread and butter pudding was a bread pudding should no the difference if a chef. Would not recommend and will never go there again. Little choice on menu and no vegetarian options offered.

Last Sunday myself , my husband and two of our friends visited The Bell for Sunday Lunch. We were so impressed! The food was excellent, the vegetables perfectly cooked , and wonderful value for money. We have been there many times before for drinks and always enjoyed the ambiance and the hospitality from the staff , but we will certainly be back to visit the restaurant again. I cannot recommend it enough!

Attractive village and The Bell is the place to be. James & Sally Ann run a fantastic little free house pub, if you want to watch sport on TV don't bother...there isn't one just good company and great ale. Very friendly locals make you welcome and the restaurant is fantastic. A must is James's Steak & Doom Bar pie made by James using only the best ingredients. We stayed for two nights in the accommodation situated adjacent to the pub. Just right for two people with king size bed compact kitchenette and shower. We have threatened to return.

Travelling back to Nottinghamshire we were looking for Sunday lunch, Evesham was jam-packed so we carried on thinking " well McD's will have to do" so we took a chance and went into Salford Priors to try our luck.

I take my parents here on a weekly basis. They love the friendly staff and how nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is excellent too. Well worth a visit just for the friendly atmosphere if nothing else.

We had been recommended to try The Bell@Salford Priors, & I want to spread the news for anyone visiting the area to book in advance & enjoy savouring every mouthful. Such great choices on the menu, we all chose different and all our family shared the experience & agreed the meals were beautifully cooked. “Good hearty meals”, the owners introduce themselves, very welcoming couple and we look forward to returning soon.

If you are in the area this is a lovely pub/restaurant. Great food, reasonably priced and delivered by friendly staff. Home from home atmosphere !!!

Arrived on a Friday on the off chance at getting a table and although the restaurant was fully booked they were able to squeeze us in and boy were we pleased they did. The meal was gorgeous. We both had the Steak and Ale pie and it was divine, big chunks of juicy steak in a shortcrust pie that just melted in the mouth, served with hand cut chips and peas.

We have visited a number of times always a friendly welcome from Sally- Ann and James ..The price of a pint is very good .£2.45 !!!! we have eaten here numerous times and food is very well presented and very tasty..a delight to go to the Bell .the Waitress was very Polite and helpful ...I advise to Book because the Bell is very busy and you won't be disappointed. ..

Was my husband birthday so there was five of us for lunch food was excellent and lovely home made food the owner and his wife were both very friendly and kind a lovely time and family memories made thank you again both we will definitely be back again

Absolutely perfect! From the moment we walked in we were made to feel special. The real ale was superb, they had lovely NZ Sauvignon Blanc served at exactly the right temp We had winter stew that was absoutely melt in the mouth and a Tbone...

Staying at the best western so we walked 15 minutes down the road to the Bell and aren’t we pleased we did. Positive for the Bell: A very warm welcome from the landlord, lady and the local clientele. Excellent real ale, food was superb, great starters, two tasty steaks and piping hot just how I like my food, asked for a cheese board which was not on the menu but they produced one of the best we have ever had. Finally the price was more than reasonable. Negatives NONE. Thank you James and Sallyann for a loverly evening.

Very uncomfortable feeling ! Everyone turned around as we entered! Definitely a “locals “ pub!!

Having just walked out of the queens head I drove to the bell again quiet carpark me and my boy I spoke to some regulars I knew , asked lunch ? Barman - no sorry fully booked - ?

Our first visit to the area and after unpacking our cases at our nearby Hotel, we walked a little way to The Bell. We were made very welcome by the bar maid who suggested it would be cheaper to buy a bottle of wine rather than 2 glasses as I ordered them! The establishment was very clean and cosy. We ordered food and did not have long to wait in our very comfortable chairs before 2 mains were served at a table for 2 near the bar. I had homemade beef lasagne and it was probably the best I'd ever tasted. Sarah had Lamb shank which was equally delicious. We shared a scrumptious dessert. Our hosts James and Sallyann were charming, friendly and helpful in telling us what places to visit during our break, as were some locals who were at the bar. We found out that there is also a chalet available for B&B.; All in all a lovely experience, would thoroughly recommend The Bell to anyone.

We visited this venue whilst staying at the Salford Hall down the road.

Word of mouth is everything, The owners and staff are very warm and inviting. The decour is very fresh and current but it all means nothing without the quality of meal.

I had a meal with 9 of us as a family/friends meal. Service was impeccable, the waitress attended to all our needs (lady with short blonde, bobbed hair). She was so friendly, polite, hospitable and I honestly can't sing her praises enough. I actually said to my brother that this waitress deserves a "waitress of the year award". She was great! The food was delicious, cooked to perfection and incredibly hearty! There was 9 of us and everyone's plate was pretty much cleared. Oh and I must add, it was extremely affordable. Bottles of wine for approximately £6-7? Crazy cheap! Thank you so much for such a great experience!

First impressions very nice clean staff lovely owner came and spoke made to feel welcome. Food absolutely gorgeous highly recommend steak ale pie stuffed mushroom and garlic bread. food was freshly cooked and home made pipping hot and pudding sticky toffee pudding and apple tart was absolutely gorgeous we really do highly recommend from 2 very happy and full up customers.

We visited for a Sunday lunch last weekend on the recommendation of family. I also read some of the reviews ahead of us going. We were pleasantly surprised with what we found. The restaurant was busy (always a good sign) and the atmosphere good. Drinks are not over-priced, currently a house bottle of wine which is perfectly fine is £7.95.

This place was amazing! They couldn't fit is in straight away but we could just chill out in the bar until we had a table. The staff were incredibly friendly and when we finally got our food.....wow. Had the lamb shank with mash and it was heaven!!! I'd move to the area just so that this was my local. Loved the place and will probably go back for lunch on Sunday!

Had a great trip this evening. Food was very good, great portions and prices. Drinks are also very good quality and extremely well priced. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend to anybody visiting the area.

We were staying in the area and after loking at reviews decided to give the Bell a visit. Inside the place is tastefully decorated and well laid out and you feel relaxed. The food was amazing and generous portions. One of out party did not like any of the deserts on offer but our host found a favourable alternative. The staff put themselves out to help and we even had a visit from the chef, then the offer of a lift back to our hotel from another customer to save getting a taxi to our hotel. Keep up the great food and service guys, and we will be back as I'm sure many more will too

We had a lovely meal, with very attentive and friendly staff. the food was excellent and cooked to order. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt that we were special. The restaurant was very busy for a Thursday evening but we never felt rushed.

Tasty food very reasonably priced. Good atmosphere as the drink was flowing and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves

We went for some lunch here today after a recommendation by friends and WOW! This place has been renovated to a very high standard its clean, modern and very tasteful. Our food was top quality at great prices. Fresh, good quality hot food! The owners were very welcoming and attentive. We will definitely be returning with our friends! Best place for miles!

Great meal, just taken over totally refitted and it's lovely , had steak ale pie and chunky chips and was well worth 10.95 . Pie was full with streak and home made , wife had lamb shanks with mash and loved it . And white wine bottle 7.95 Lovely waitress and owner was lovely too . Well worth a visit

Had several meals over the past few months and can honestly say the Staff, and the food, has been 1st class, would highly recommend

This was my first visit since the Bell reopened, but my parents are local and have been here 4 or 5 times. Its so good they have booked it for a large party to celebrate a big birthday.The atmosphere is really friendly and welcoming and Kevin served us super fast. The drinks are incredible value, as is the food, we had 3 bottles of wine 3 adult main & 1 child main and it was under 60.00 - amazing value. No taste or gourmet cards needed here - its just good honest value for money.The food is just incredible, home made tasty wholesome dishes, cooked with attention to flavour and quality by (James I think) the Chef.I can personally recommend the Steak pie & Lamb Shank both tender, packed with flavour and steaming hot.I can't wait to return and try something else off the menu, keep it up team - you are food & drink heros!

Changed hands so many times, new owners have it spot on, great food reasonably priced, cheapest beer around friendly staff. Pleasure to go there.

Went here on Saturday night and had a nice meal, the restaurant was fairly busy, the staff were friendly and the food was very good. Would definitely visit again, but would advise booking as gets busy.

Super Sunday three course lunch amazing value good quality food large plates!! Waited on beautifully presented spotless surroundings i judge places on cleanliness of their toilets if they are clean then no doubt kitchen is same this pub has cleanest toilet ever!! Great choice of beer at unbelievable prices bottle wine with lunch under seven quid!! All in all a super Sunday thank you all at the bell as a local I wish you every succes just hope I can get in on regular basis as this pub is going to get even busier than it is now !!!

What a lovely surprise to see this place has opened again under new Management. They have refurbished to a lovely standard, very tasteful décor and even the loos are very clean and respectable.Had a lovely baguette & chips for lunch and amazed at the price of the Sauvingon Blanc and the Doombar. Excellent value of under £12 for 2 pints and the bottle of vino. There is a restaurant for the full sit down type meal and an area outside for those lovely summer days/evenings.We will be back !!!!

We visited here with our close friends who live in the village, and said it had recently reopened, well they have done a great job with the refurbishment, so light and airy in the restaurant.We all had a starter apart from one, and considering the starter and dessert is included in the price they were very tasty, nice sized portions too. The Sunday roast itself was fantastic, nice moist meat, with plenty of vegetables and big Yorkshire pudding, it tasted fantastic, nothing to criticise about at all.For the price you pay for food and drink, you won't leave disappointed, highly recommend.

Great pint of Wye Valley bitter and a proper Steak n Ale pie.........pastry all around and served by Barbara,what a waitress. Lovely atmosphere. We'll be back.

Having recently moved into the village this pub will definitely be my local from now on. Refurbishment is very tasteful, beer is great and the cliental very welcoming. Felt at home within seconds.The new landlord and landlady are great and previously ran the Red House in Solihull with great success.Noted that a previous review gave terrible rating because the phone number had changed from the previous owners.....seems non-sense to me, to rate a pub based on an old website ran by the previous owners.

Offered good value food that was well cooked for under £10 and wine at £7 and selection of draft beers at £2.45 a pint.Very good service on night we visited.

Popped in on Sunday, fantastic place, newly refurbished and what a lovely place it now is, Sallyann and James are doing an excellent job here, lovely home cooked food, brilliant service and fabulous staff, really worth a visit if you haven't been yet.

Called in Tuesday 6th June. Now fully open and serving food, after being closed for over 9 months. Looks really attractive inside. They are starting with a simple menu - very reasonably priced. Best of luck to Sally & James. Bookings Tel 01789 509486.

So bad it's not worth discussing. The management are more interested in showing off to their friends than providing hospitality. This will close soon

It was a terrible mistake to go to The Bell at Salford Priors for Sunday lunch. After ordering our meal, we waited for 65 minutes, yes 65 minutes, to be served. When it came, the "Sunday roast" was drowned in gravy and the beef was tasteless and hard. The décor was dingy in the extreme, not even any pictures on the drab walls. It looked as if they were closing down. So odd, as The Bell is located in the heart of the beautiful and affluent village of Salford Priors near Alcester. I wonder what the story is?

Called in for a drink to have a look with the intention of going in for meals over the weekend. Had one drink and left. Building cold and did not have a very friendly atmosphere. Looked at menu and thought expensive for what was on offer which was nothing special, fish chips, sausage mash etc hence did not eat there at all

Came as a family of 5 to this wonderful pub. I understand its recently been taken over by a new team. The menu choices are good and not ott, not a huge variation but enough. We had a pork roast dinner which arrived with 4 different veg, yorkshire pudding and stuffing! Terrific meal great hosting by the young waiter. We'll be back for more!

Nice pub, with friendly and helpful staff. Ideal for good quality pub food. I recommend the fish nights on Fridays - great value!

The Bell, Evesham Road, Salford Priors, WR11 8UUDate of visit - 9 November 2014The Bell is somewhere we go on a regular basis and the food is usually really good but on this occasion it was disappointing. It was a Sunday evening the place was very quiet. A temporary manager was in post so was still finding his feet and appeared to be doing all the jobs other than the cooking. The usual menu had been replaced with a Sunday menu which only offered a roast dinner (£10.95) as a choice of mains so we had no choice but to have roast beef and the roast turkey option. We chose paté and brie for starters (£2 and £4 respectively) and they were nice, the roast dinner was presented nicely but I suspect some of the vegetables, roast potatoes and the Yorkshire pudding had been left over from the lunchtime service and simply reheated so the flavours had lost their freshness. A very nice selection of real ale is served in this pub so the evening was not a complete disaster. I will visit again even if only to assure myself that this visit was a disappointing one off!

A mid week evening out with friends and the restaurant is very quiet. Which doesn't mean that service is fast! In fact, the waitress seems quite surprised that we aren't pleased to watch our drinks sit on the bar waiting to be served. However, we are greeted by the news that several dishes are unavailable ( on Tuesday ?). The range of choices remaining is satisfactory but not wide. We select. The waitress returns to tell us that one of our friend's selections is not available. So our friend reorders. My wife and I shared a baked Camembert and it was delicious. The waitress returns with our friend's prawn and crayfish salad to say that they have run out of crayfish and have substituted more prawns. Eyebrows are beginning to be raised. My Cajun gumbo was spot on and the haddock was good pub grub but where was my friend's pie? 10 min later it arrives burnt on the outside and undercooked in the middle. The landlord comes round to check that we are okay and offers to remove it from the bill. We are the only people left; we decide to skip the sweets and go home. My wife and I rated our meal as good, but our friends' was poor. It shouldn't be the luck of the draw. We desperately need pubs serving decent food in the Evesham/Alcester area, so I hope they iron out the wrinkles.

We went for Sunday lunch, selection of traditional roast was as expected, Beef, Turkey and Pork.Vegitables were served in abundance and were cooked as we like them, we were so impressed with the service and suroundings we look forward to a return visit in the not to distant future.

Have been to The Bell in the past for lunch so decided to try it for an evening meal on my birthday in September 2014. Food was good although nothing out of the ordinary, However the service was appalling. Only two people serving the restaurant, no one asked us if our meal was ok and had to go and ask the waitress if we could order more drinks on two occasions. Not the most accommodating of staff. Wouldn't rush back!!!

Visited this pub/restaurant for the first time for Saturday lunch. Met the owner, Sally, who was extremely friendly and welcoming. We chose from the fixed price menu, 2 courses for £8.95, I chose the spicey carrot soup followed by fish and chips. My husband chose the prawn and crayfish tail salad followed by faggotts peas and mash. Thoroughly enjoyed both courses. We will definitely visit again and have already recommended it to friends. The restaurant is light and well furnished in a contemporary style.

We have been to The Bell a number of times, the food is excellent, home cooked and good value.A few weeks ago my wife took a party of 18 people for lunch. The party was mainly made up of of over 60's, three of them in wheelchairs. On arrival, they found the access very tricky through the front entrance. There is a larger entrance to the back of the building through the garden, however, once in the restaurant a large step in the middle the of dining room again making it difficult for wheelchair users and no ramp provided. In the end with much patience from the excellent driver, from back & 4th, he did manage to get all three in through the front, this took half an hour and he ended up with a bloody leg!. Without him they would not have managed and would most likely have had to go home. When speaking to the Manager Sally, she informed my wife that it was not necessary to make amendments or provide a ramp as the building was old.Maybe it was the fault of my wife not to check the wheelchair access, she regularly takes this party out, she just presumed there would be a ramp provided on request. .I think a portable ramp would make an easy solution and offer the facilities of this otherwise very nice pub to a wider range of people.

Great little pub/restaurant. We were staying at the hotel down the road, and came here because we'd heard the food at the hotel wasn't very good. So glad we made that decision.We went on a Fish Friday and both ordered off that menu. Or expectations weren't very high, but we were blown away with the quality of the food. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and the staff friendly and attentive.A great little find.

This is our second visit to The Bell, again superb food, a smart restaurant, friendly staff and a menu which changes with the seasons. Definitely going again soon.

Had the 3 course meal for £11 and it was amazing. Couldn't fault anything. Food was extremely delicious. The food was higher than your usual pub standard and I really enjoyed it. I was visiting a friend who lives down there as im not from the area and she took me there and I had to thank her so much as it was probably the best meal out I have ever tasted.Would defiantly recommend this to anybody and would more than likely go back there in the future.Thanks for the great food.

We always visit this lovely friendly country restaurant when we are in the area. The fish Friday is fantastic: 2 courses and a glass of wine for £15 which is excellent value. Example choices last time we visited were smoked haddock scotch egg starter, then Wickwar BOB beer battered fish with hand cut fries and fresh veg. Perfect. Lots of delicious fish starters and mains to choose from. Plus the usual menu is still available if any if your party aren't fishy folk. And the pub restaurant also offers a loyalty card you can get stamped for each meal purchased and when you have enough stamps you can enjoy a buy one get one free main course.

We have eaten here many times lunch and evening and have always enjoyed it, the decor food and service have always been good, however myself and husband went on the spur of the moment to try the fish night, overall very nice but my husband found what appeared to be a substantial amount of dirt/grit in his salad leaves in his starter....we complained the staff apologised and replaced it, the rest of the meal was OK, when we paid the bill again the member of staff apologised but then made a very strange comment. Not sure what that was in your starter probably best not to know and laughed, no compensation or explanation was offered, spoilt our evening, we knew it was dirt/grit and probably from not washing the leaves properly maybe more care and attention needed and a bit more serious customer service when dealing with such matters.

Food first class, prices also would not break your budget.Could not believe our luck we found this little gem.
