We booked as it was a Friday evening. It was fairly busy with young families. We were shown to a booth type table for four as our original table for two had been given away. The menu is well priced, and has some unusual items. We started with sun dried Arancini with pesto. It was generous and very tasty. My main was a Prawn and chorizo risotto. Again, tasted delicious. My Husband had steak and chips. It was cooked very well. We shared an Eton mess type sundae. The staff were all very young and were buzzing around serving, but friendly and willing to help with our orders. Lovely decor and clean toilets. Would go back if returning to nearby campsite.

Historically a Hungry Horse where it was hard to know what was about to be delivered from the kitchen, and the carpet was stickier than a sticky toffee pudding, The Bell has been transformed to a lovely, understated restaurant with a team looking to make every visit a joy. My family arrived today unannounced, but a table was conjoured up. I've always been a bit let down with the traditional pub Sunday roast, but with the addition of pigs in blankets, I'm left wondering if a home cooked roast is worth the hassle. Professional but unobtrusive staff and beautiful setting with lots of outdoor seating, along with a play area for the smaller guests. As long as nothing changes, The Bell will be on our list for any occasion. Thanks to all the staff.

Had a lovely lunch with family and we all were impressed with the whole experience. Welcoming staff, lovely clean restaurant area and the food was delicious. Our 3 year old granddaughter chomped through her kids meal ( fish fingers, chips and beans) and the chocolate ice cream was a big hit. Will definitely be back again. Thank you to all the staff who made an impromptu lunch so enjoyable

Another visit to The Bell and another excellent review. Lovely pub with fantastic staff, very welcoming and so polite. Superb service and delicious meals, great value for money and the pictures just show how good the meals were, empty plates at the end. Clean and very well kept pub and the staff show pride in their job and the place, goes a very long way and certainly shows. Will be returning again and recommend to others. Thank you and praise to the whole team because it's well deserved.

Came here on a busy Tuesday with my fiance, for some lunch fantastic food again and great service. The lady behind the bar was a real help and the gluten free menu was superb.

Was very pleased today with the friendly and welcoming staff. However we had a problem with one of our meals but it was a small error and in a busy environment it happens but Owen sorted it effectively and quickly with a great smile, and a very kind apology whilst working his socks off.

Just got back from a meal here. 5 of us out of 8 had steak, regardless of how you like it cooked you get it well done, chips over cooked. Service was slow. How hungry horse let this pub remain part of their chain us beyond me? Would never visit again. There is a macdonalds 3 miles up the road-go there

We have always liked the food and service in Harvesters. Always been loyal customers. However, our most recent experience was not great at all. The place was busy, the salad bar was quite empty and the food took a much longer time to arrive which we could excuse as a one-off. But some of the food was not cooked through unfortunately, which believe it or not, again we sort of excused as staff apologised and replaced it. What we cannot overlook however was the menu has changed and unfortunately all the tasty parts of the food have been replaced with hard, tasteless freezer food. Prices have gone up too, which is understandable but they should not have messed with the quality of the food. The chicken, the hash browns were not soft and succulent as before. The nice onion ring was replaced by hard and cold cheese jalapeño rings. Totally different food experience now. We are not going to go back in a hurry, let's just say. Really sad as we did like frequenting it over the last few years.

First time eating here. Food was very tasty and good value for money. Wasn't too busy so didn't have to wait too long for the food. Just a shame the service let it down. The member of staff with blonde hair made no effort to smile or make eye contact at any point, either at the bar or serving food, which made one feel like an inconvenience. Not a very welcoming feeling.

I had a late lunch in The Red Lion this lunchtime. First time I had been in the pub in 5 years but with new management and hearing great things since the new owners took over I was keen to give it a try. Bar staff were very welcoming to me and my Cavapoo. Lovely friendly atmosphere and spotlessly clean. I ordered a scampi, fries and peas. It was delicious and too much for me to finish it. I will definitely be back soon with the family 👍🏼
