The Bell Inn in Rugby

Just love this pub, relaxed and great service

Fantastic meal for 7. Really fresh and great quality Sunday roast with generous portions. Friendly service.

Had a fantastic meal with the family, excellent food and service we all had mains as they allowed us to bring a birthday cake. Great service and food. Can't wait to go back so i can have a dessert. I had the lamb with the dauphinoise potatoes, beautiful loads of meat , lots of assorted veg, its a large plateful. A couple of our table had the Goat cheese Risotto it was lovely and the eggs ham and chips its a large plate glad they offer a smaller plare if you want. Staff attentive. Excellent value for money. It was a monday night,

Great pub 2 bars & a restaurant 4 real ale pumps. Dogs allowed in bar. Bar snacks and full meals. Good breakfast for me and my dog

Very reasonably priced, good quality pub grub delivered with a smile. Couldn't fault it!

Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere , don't feel crammed in

I had the most amazing evening at the bell tonight, the food was delicious. The 2 waitresses Libby and ruby really made my evening, they were very polite, friendly and beautiful. They catered to all of our needs and went above and beyond, many thanks girls :) we will return soon !

Fantastic meal with the family, tasty, good value and friendly staff.

Lovely friendly pub with great food

We had lunch here on a Friday, my wife had vegetable enchiladas and I ham egg and chips both dishes were excellent as was the service, mine was washed down with a couple of pints of ale, also very good.

Fabulous meal, lovely friendly staff. Food delicious. A real treat

Best Sunday dinner I've had in a long time

Really nice food and the service was decent. Unfortunately the venue does not look like the online photos. Needs a bit of an upgrade.

Friendly, good service. I had 8oz sirloin special-very good

Lovely food at a reasonable price and a friendly atmosphere

Lovely staff and food was nice. Just a shame that the outside frontage is so run down looking. The pub sign needs replacing as all the colours have worn and peeled away. Needs a good facelift.

5/24 Now attending their fortnightly pub quiz. Good quiz, followed by good food - lovely fresh sandwiches and chips plus a hot dish (curry/chilli/pasta bake), all for £2 a head! Good range of beer too. 3/24 First visit here in some time. Attended a quiz in aid of the Mayor's charity. Good atmosphere, nice pint of Banks's and sandwiches & chips to finish. Obviously not a "normal" night but all good.

I will never ever be able to recommend the bell enough . Rachel millie and team went above and beyond hosting our wedding this weekend. The Bell came in and saved us when 8 months before the day the original venue closed. they bent over backwards for us offering the garden room, hut and patio with marquee. Further more allowing us to still use caterers that had already been pre booked with big deposits for. Bearing in mind this was due to be a big weekend for any venue being summer bank holiday weekend! They were hot on communication happy to help in any way possible . They even contacted us to say was able to let us set up night before (massively reduced pre wedding stress) spoke to vendors directly and took in my cake and set it up . On the day we arrived over an hour early due to photos with weather not taking place! and nothing was an issue . they even took a mini video of snippets of our day ! service was quick and happy! and finally after it was all over the gems even cleaned up boxed our stuff away for storage so we didn't need to worry the next day ! thank you so much

Very good service, excellent food. Will be going back soon.

Been back a couple of times since the review below. Yesterday we held a wake there in the Garden Room with bar. I cannot recommend highly enough how good everything was. Excellent - communication and arrangements beforehand and help with music and photography slideshow. Excellent - food in both quality, amount and value Excellent - speed of service at the bar Thankyou Service really let it down. Had a booking at 5pm Sunday, only 3 of us. Had to remind the staff to take our order (we only had mains) and it arrived at 5.55. Nice gesture to take one meal off the bill which they did without any feedback but I would rather have had a better service. The young lad was that apologised for the wait blamed it on being busy, you took the bookings and know how many people will be eating! Shame because the food is good and we have been here a few times. Certainly wouldn’t visit at this time again

Warm welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and the portions are great! Will definitely be going back again 👏👏👏

Best Pub for Food in Rugby and reasonably priced, staff always friendly. Never had a bad meal!!

Great pub with a good selection of beers! 👍

Popped in for a quick bite to eat and the food was lovely! We had the pie and steak and both were delicious. Well definitely be back

Love it, food is amazing, staff are all brilliant, beer's great and the garden is just wow. Whats not to love? Best pub in Rugby

Went there with a family member for a Sunday roast and the slow cooked lamb we both had meals tasted absolutely fantastic. The staff were so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Went to the Bell Inn last night and was met with a shocking bar team member who delivered insult after insult to myself and my friends. Such a shame as the manager of the pub was very welcoming and warm. My friend who is a regular in this pub asked if she alcohols book a table and was met by a response from this man, I’m a bar keeper and I don’t book tables in the restaurant, and then proceeded to tell his colleagues about it whilst we were about to leave. My friend tried to settle the account and he was rude about one of his cards not going through. Along with other remarks all night, that were rude. I would avoid this place whist the bar man still works here

Food was tasty, unfortunately one of us ended up with food poisoning the morning after

Just had my mums wake at the Bell,l can honestly say that it was perfect, the best food ,all home cooked, excellent bar , polite staff, 100 % recommended, Thank you Rachel and her team xx

Went for the first time on a Saturday evening ...The pub is a lovely place inside .Bigger than I expected and has a huge beer garden at the back .I ordered a vegan burger chips and coleslaw with onion rings ..The food came out quickly and was lovely .The staff are really nice .Will definitely go back very soon .

Excellent value for money with homemade options. Apple & rhubarb crumble was delivious!😋

Sunday lunch was good with a choice of a large or smaller portion which I thought was a great idea. Restaurant was busy, lots of outside seating for the nice weather too. We finished our meal off with a nice crumble & custard. Thank you it was lovely.

We decided to go to the Bell on a Thursday lunchtime, as the whole family was off. So we took the dog aswell. When we arrived we found one of their out door seating hut was free. Nicely laid out, with bench and heater. Really good selection of pub food. Which we ordered at the bar. Which came out really quickly. And super tasty. Will definitely visit again.

Lunch for 12 people, organised and comfortable. Helpful and friendly staff. Rebooked for next month.

Great food, fantastic value for money

First time we visited although tables are free and 'not reserved 'the barman stated there was no tables inside we can sit around and outside was our only option

Helpful friendly staff, good atmosphere.

We found this pub by chance and were pleasantly surprised how good it was. The staff were pleasant and welcoming and the food was great price good too.

I booked Sunday lunch at The Bell pub having decided on Junction 18 to stop off in Rugby .We were travelling North. We ordered the mixed carvery which was excellent. The meal was set infront of us within 20 minutes of arriving, it was hot the meat slices were substantial a very good meal and price. We were able to continue our journey fed and watered. Thank you to the lovely staff that looked after our table. Excellent service.

Reasonable priced food and standard exceeded the price range. Atmosphere was nice and gardens are lovely and well maintained

A wake I attended was held here. The buffet food was lovely.

Another absolutely lovely, enjoyable meal at The Bell Inn, Hillmorton. The staff were so attentive and accommoding: nothing too much trouble. Can't imagine wanting to book a meal anywhere else.

Sunday roast was very good, would definitely go again

Excellent breakfast will call again

Lovely pub. Food is fab. Service and staff very attentive. We will be back.

First time eating here. Very acceptable . Great service, warm welcome food was solid stuff (fish n chips followed by the low fat waffle!) If you are looking for somewhere to eat you could do a lot worse than pay this place and the team there a visit. Malcolm Clarke Rugby January 2024

We visited for Sunday lunch with our dog. Landlady was very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely. Lovely pub.

Lovely food, good service, value for money

Great service, friendly staff and delicious Sunday lunch!

Been a little while since our last visit,but nothings changed. Food and staff are great,we enjoyed our visit again. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon,well worth a visit if you're looking for somewhere to eat.

Great service great food good portion size and reasonably priced. A warm welcome from the team. Lots of choice for vegetarians. Highly recommend.

Lovely food great service and good value for money.

Brilliant meal & the staff were really friendly. Thoroughly recommend!

1st time visiting this pub. Lovely food. All in our party chose homemade pie. Which was delicious. The pub was busy, but didn't have to wait long for our food either.

Visited today with family.for lunch. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food was fantastic. I recommend the brisket and my husband loved the millionaire’s tart. We will definitely visit again when in the area.

Really enjoyed the place. New to town and everyone was very welcoming.

Lovely atmosphere, great food and good selection of ales Very popular pub quiz on Monday evenings every two weeks

Great food, good service. Would definitely recommend.

Definitely a family run feel to this place. Home made traditional food made well. Creating a cosy atmosphere

Evening is good but lunch time poor

Excellent polite service fantastic food nice place to eat would definitely recommend

We had a nice meal with friends really good

Came for family party with buffet but also ate dinner and breakfast here. Lovely, well-run, popular pub. Great food, service and atmosphere. Sadly don’t live in the area or would come back often.

Had breakfast at the bell on Friday it was the best breakfast I’ve had since living in rugby and will definitely be going there again and again and again

We were a party of three that went here for lunch. The staff were friendly and the food was fantastic. I would highly recommend to all

Excellent food, attentive service and good value prices.

Staff were accommodating to my Grandad who was in a mobility scooter, Sirloin steak was cooked to perfection.

Excellent and friendly service with good food and drink selection.

Excellent food, service, clean very pleasant indoors and outdoor garden area.

I met my in-laws here to do a kid-swap as they'd been to stay with the grandparents. We live on the South coast, they live near Hull. While the food was good, the service really let it down. We met at 6pm & by the time we'd all a had main meal & one person had a pudding (we had to remind them to make it), it was 8.15pm! Too late starting the drive home, so not a place we'd use again for this purpose. Sad really, as it was a good location off the M1 & the food was good, but only go if you've got time on your hands.

Nice pub and very friendly staff.. Good size room to hire also with bar.. Will visit again

Had a Sunday dinner here, very tasty, highly recommended.

Good range and quality of food. Service was good, very friendly staff.

Nice food, great service. Our server went above and beyond to make our meal as experience as good as possible. It was my daughter's birthday and it was the best cake reveal we have had from any local pub/restaurant. Thank you

Popped in here for a quick pint just on opening time. Lovely people and the hand pump beer was in good nick. Highly recommended.

Attended for a family meal. Food was great and service from staff was excellent. Will definitely be back here and is worth a visit

It's a fine local, good beer, food, etc.

Came here for a date night, we arrived at about 6pm and stayed till closing - it has a lovely atmosphere - we sat outside by the heated patio seating, and had a lovely evening. We both had pizza and some fries, and the food was brilliant too! Will definitely come back here!

Amazing food and service highly recommended

Lovely meal. Only problem was the queue for the bar. people struggling to get past. Still a nice evening out.

Excellent food great choice on the menu and excellent service

We had the pie of the day, which was steak & ale. Very nice, best pie we've had in a long time. Dog friendly, but you have to eat in the bar area where the hard floor is rather than the restaurant - it was fine tho. Good service and friendly staff. There's a car park.

Friendly and helpful staff. Unexpectedly excellent starters, main meals were good but nowhere near as good as the starters. The katsu chicken topping really needs some kick, rhis was more like a pot of curry sauce. The chicken in the sauce had no bite at all. The starters set the bar very high.

Lovely place for a drink and conversation. Great selection of real ales. Food menu looks very nice too.

Very nice Atmosphere lovely garden food not very good but for a pint the location is perfect and variety of drinks :)

Food pricey, pie top was solid. Quiche crust burnt, no prices on board for some items.1/2 hr wait for pudding. STAFF brilliant

We attended at send off today. What a lovely location, beautiful food, very polite and helpful staff, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Great service and space for eating, split across multiple areas. Menu was classic pub food and tasted great. Would recommend

The service was OK, but the place was very crowded.

Friendly staff, great food . Brilliant atmosphere. Beer at reasonable prices. What more could you ask for 👍👍👍👍👍

Just a quick stop but a friendly and clean hostelry. The young man behind the bar was exceptionally helpful and polite.

Fabulous meal for all 4 of us, with young and cheerful staff. Will be going back for sure.

Friends had been and recommended the roast dinner. We were not disappointed. Fabulous food and friendly staff, we will definitely return.

Fantastic Sunday roast, lovely small play area, all in ll fantastic

Love The Bell, its only around the corner from me so it's definitely my go to. Staff are always friendly and I look forward to sitting in the beer garden on the warm summer evenings.

Great food. Lovely service. Good atmosphere. Definitely be eating here again.

Very very nice, lovely staff and wine was good too.

You have just very kindly opened early for us to enjoy a coffee after a funeral. It was extremely kind of you and the service was great. Thank you.❤️

Fabulous service, friendly staff that go above and beyond to ensure excellent service, highly recommended Sunday roast cooked to perfection and tastes amazing thank you definitely be back

The most amazing best pub Sunday lunch ever. Could not fault a thing. Five of us all felt the same. Staff were excellent. Felt like home from home. Thank you. See you again.
