The Bell Inn in Wychavon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We were looking for somewhere for a big family lunch that was central for us all to get to from around the country. So, I didn’t know what to expect but from the start Jane and Andre were incredibly helpful and came up with a lovely fresh menu of seasonal food. We had a room to ourselves and had a great afternoon out. The food was delicious, and Jane and Andre did everything to make us feel welcome and relaxed. Even though they both must have been very busy getting us food and drink they never made us feel rushed and nothing was too much trouble for them. There were some very good wines and beers and also a great selection of no/low alcohol drinks which was welcome as so many of us were driving.

We just dropped in here on the off chance , we were looking for somewhere to eat. It was fairly empty when we arrived and we didn’t have high expectations. However , the landlady was very helpful, the service was great and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and we would definitely recommend!

Excellent experience. We wanted an evening meal at the beginning of the week for our wedding anniversary. Very few place were open and even fewer offering gluten free. Andre and Jane opened specially for us (with 24 hours notice) and we had a fab meal. Andre cooked and served a wonderful meal. He was attentive but not over bearing. The food was a very high quality and all fresh produce, freshly cooked. The gluten and dairy free choice was very good. It was an evening we will remember for all the right reasons for a long time to come. Thank you so much Andre and Jane.

My husband and I were looking for a place to eat just outside Evesham on a Friday evening. We came across the Cropthorne bell. We entered and were greeted by the lovely landlady Jane. We asked if they were serving food. Yes, was her reply we then chose a table and sat down. We soon became aware of the incredibly friendly atmosphere in this pub created by Jane. Nothing was too much for her and her chef. We had everything we asked for and more. I would recommend this pub to anyone even if you just want a drink. I would give this establishment a 10 out of 10. Unfortunately, we were just on holiday in the area I really do wish this was my local. Well done Jane.

Really beautiful country pub, the landlady was super nice and really friendly, nothing was too much. Both mine and my partners food was perfect. Compliments to the chef. The food was fresh and sourced locally. They even had local beers, ciders and spirits. We will definitely be returning again. Would recommend to anyone considering going here.

We were travelling home from Pershore and saw this pub and decided to call in for lunch. We were welcomed by Andre, the owner-chef and were invited to choose a table, inside or out. As it was a lovely day, we sat in the garden. The menu choices were good and Andre assured us that the food was locally sourced and that he cooked all the food. We ordered starters and mains; my starter was local asparagus and was so lovely. My dining companion had carrot and ginger soup and declared it was delicious. I had a veggie burger, which was accompanied by a couple of salads and chips and my companion had a fish platter. We were both very happy with our choices. Even though we did not need to eat anymore we both had enjoyable puds; sticky toffee pudding and rhubarb crumble. We both agreed that if we lived locally we would make a regular trip to this place. The beer and cider is local, too, and it is great to have food like this. A couple on the next table said that there choices were happily tweaked and they also declared that they thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Give it a go - you will be pleased you did.

Called in for a quick lunch. All was good, friendly and tried to go above and beyond to give a great service. Thank you and would recommend

Staying locally and fancied a fish & chip dinner out. A very warm welcome by the hosts, drinks and food ordered. Probably within 20 minutes 3 fresh plates arrived with home made tartare sauce. Gorgeous! Mushy peas, gorgeous! Thoroughly enjoyed our meals and would recommend and revisit. A nice local, friendly pub a rarity but worth a stop.

Once again we have just had a wonderful home cooked Sunday lunch. This is a pub that values and has time for its customers. Jane and Andre have a way of making you feel instantly at home and nothing is ever too much trouble for them.

Possibly the best pub meal we’ve ever had. Hearty, generous portions yet proper, refined food cooked by an actual chef. Everything seemed to be cooked from scratch. Loads of gluten free options. Amazing friendly service and attention to detail, but nothing stuffy or pretentious. A real fire.. …This is the pub you dream of when you’re looking for a pub lunch in the countryside, and there seems to be nothing around but chain pubs and defrosted meals.

Called in here for a drink on the way to friends to dinner and my husband and I waited patiently at the bar for nigh on ten minutes while the 'barmaid' had a conversation with someone else... not even an "I'll be with you in a minute". We left. We know pubs are struggling and we like to support what we see as an important English institution, but it seems this pub doesn't need any new custom, so don't bother giving them any.

Went to the Bell for there Christmas menu tonight they opened especially for us as we are in the same industry, and could only find time tonight to eat out .If you enjoy proper classic cookery and great service then the bell is a must .great classic dishes cooked and presented perfectly only managed to get pics of the starters ,enjoyed so much forgot to get pics of the rest .Andre & Jane are a lovely couple & have vast amounts of experience in the hospitality industry please give them a try . Forgot to mention they also had a little gift for my Alsatian to take home …

We booked a table in the conservatory for my birthday lunch. Jane looked after us so well + made me feel really special. We all had the two meat roasts + weren't disappointed. The icing on the cake was when Jane brought out a cake with loads of candles, which unbeknown to me, my husband had dropped over earlier. A superb couple of hours spent with my husband, son + daughter-in-law! A fantastic birthday + we have booked to return for my Dad/husband's birthday. Thank you Jane + Andre for making my day so special

I came here for an evening meal on a Friday and was welcomed as soon as I came in by Jane, the land lady. A very warm and friendly welcome. Brilliant service, good humour, accommodating and helpful. Food lovely and the ales very well kept. Thoroughly recommend a visit. A good specials menu of home cooked food along side the regular bar menu. It’s the first pub I’ve been too in a long time that I felt I was a member of the family not a visitor!

I had the fortune to visit The Cropthorne Bell, unfortunately following my Aunts' funeral for the wake. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, the food was excellent & plentiful, the beer (Wotever Next) was well kept & served while the seperate area provided was perfect. I would recommend this public house to locals or people passing through. You won't be dissapointed. Thank you for your warm welcome and service.

Staying near at an Airbnb and our host recommended the Bell. I had scallops then Gigot of Lamb with ratatouille and an excellent cheese board. She had pork loin and the best sticky pudding I've tasted for quite some time. It was Monday and very...

Very individual country pub very friendly and welcoming with great service. Food is great with a good range of options on offer. Such lovely people.

We visited the Bell on Friday 18th September, what can I say such a quaint little pub, we walked in and was greeted by Zak, excellent customer service from the minute we walked in until we left, he is certainly an asset to the pub...

This wasn't the first time we had visited The Bell but it was the first time since the Covid epidemic. We had the Sunday lunch. The Goats Cheese Starter was amazing It was a meal in itself so tasty, We followed with the Sirloin of Beef Roast Tender and succulent Yorkshire Pudding Light Vegetables full of flavour and Al Dente just as we like them. The service was excellent and as usual Jane made you feel completely at home. Well done all of you we will be back.

A last minute stop and we found The Bell. They found us a table at the very last minute and nothing was too much trouble. What a great find, Food was fantastic, the service was great. Will definitely return. Thank you

Travelled from west Brom again to this fantastic place. Jane and Andre always make you at home. Food is outstanding they really are fantastic

Nothing is too much trouble. They will do starters as main courses or make a special sauce if you ask. Food wonderful. Only note of caution, portions are so big but they do smaller ones which are 'normal' size!!

It was just before Christmas and my sister and I needed a light lunch after a long drive so, having had good meals here before, we came to The Bell. It was surprisingly quiet in the run up to Christmas but the welcome was friendly, as ever, and we both had excellent tasty meals.An added bonus was that, despite my not living in the area, the landlady welcomed me as a regular. I well recommend stopping off here if you are in the area.

Very pleasant pub and an excellent lunch with friendly staff and prompt service - can't ask for more - will call again.

We called here on a cold Sunday evening needing to eat, not a problem to the lovely welcoming hosts .I had a sunday roast Beef my husband had sole. We were served with the most delicious food beautifully prepared , we followed up with a homemade sticky toffee pudding. Hubby enjoyed a local pint which was very nice , as a non drinker I get fed up with the choices on offer, but not here local Pershore college presse and fruit juices which were delicious The owners couldn’t have been more welcoming, fun and friendly. We shall definitely go back and take or friends and family. Next time you are driving along the Pershore road don’t go past call in The Cropthorne Bell and experience it for yourselves

Travelling home after a nostalgic visit to places we lived in our younger days, we took pot luck in passing the Cropthorne Bell and called in for a much needed break. On walking in the door, although the pub was fairly busy, we were very quickly welcomed by the landlady who explained internal or external seating availability and once seated took us through the menu. We both thoroughly enjoyed the meal and a nicely kept pint of real ale. will go back again and would recommend a visit by all and sundry given the opportunity.

Staying nearby in Evesham we googled nearby places for an evening meal and chose The Cropthorne Bell based on previous good reviews. It’s a very homely pub, decorated internally with a wide range of diverse, interesting and unconnected things. Jane is a very welcoming host, recommending her favourite wine and offering a tipple before we committed to a glass. The meals we ordered were great - fillet steak and fish n chips. Both cooked to perfection, tasty and good sized portions. We struck up conversation with a couple of locals and their two ploughmans looked very impressive indeed. When we go back I plan to try a ploughman’s myself. Jane was good company and attentive throughout. Thoroughly recommended.

We had been visiting the Karndean flooring showroom in Evesham and wanted somewhere close by for Sunday lunch. Jane the landlady was friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Great selection of meat and seasonal vegetables cooked to perfection. Our daughter said her gammon was the best she’d ever had. What more could you want.

We were on our way back from Stratford when we made a last minute decision to call in at the Bell late afternoon on Sunday. We received a very warm welcome from the young lady behind the bar who asked us to sit down and then brought our menus and talked us through what was available and the beers on offer. I chose the roast beef and my wife opted for lamb, both were very good indeed with a large amount of meat, roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pud and some parsnips. We were then given a dish of Vega tables including carrots, broccoli, cauliflower cheese and cabbage. Mint sauce and horseradish with a lovely kick was also offered and accepted and I haven’t enjoyed a Sunday roast so much in a long time.We were too full to have puds which was a shame, but we will certainly be back to try those in the future. At £12.50 a head, I felt we had value for money, they do also do a smaller size and children’s sine dishes and you can also prefer off the main menu.Well worth a visit if you are out that way.

We had an absolutely lovely and relaxing Mothers' Day lunch here yesterday.Just about the warmest & most genuine welcome from Jane we've ever received in a pub/restaurant.The food was excellent, so fresh and beautifully presented. My chicken was delicious - not seen roast chicken served like that (boned, stuffed, rolled and then sliced) since my parents-in-law ran a pretty top-notch restaurant in the eighties.Sooo much more a pleasure to eat than trying to hack it off the bone.Loved the fresh fruit homemade meringue - not often you get homemade meringue - and lovely and gooey and chewey in the middle just like it should be.Everything homemade, hand-prepared, nothing mass-produced. My husband said his dark chocolate tart was to die for.And our daughter raved over the pork belly, a delicious twist on the traditional pork belly which is seen so often on menus these days Compliments to the Chef(s) indeed.Lovely staff who were friendly and onthe ball, despite it being a very busy day. There was a relaxed unhurried atmosphere with no sign of anyone flapping (pretty unusual on Mothering Sunday of all days!)I think The Cropthorne Bell is fast becoming our favourite local go-to.

Country pubs have evolved into either restaurants that sell beer or more traditional pubs that sell food. The former is the kind of place where you would feel uncomfortable if you just need a pint.This falls into the latter category, you could turn up and drink some of their excellent local beer, feel very welcome and depart a happier person. To do so would be as shame as the food is plentiful and rather delicious. If you were to go to one of the former category, the food may be presented beautifully but there would be less of it and it would cost more, I doubt it would taste better though.I had pork with an excellent sauce rice and bits of veg. I could happily do it again. The others had sole and gave favourable responses and made appropriate noises.The pudding was pretty good, I don't do sweet things normally so I don't have much to compare it to but I was assured that the minimum of sugar was users and I enjoyed it.Nice cup of coffee to finish.The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive.Around £70 for 3 people, food n drink

We have enjoyed 2 visits to this pub and both times as not disappointed. A great find with welcoming atmosphere, great homely feel to it and excellent food. We have spent a few hours just relaxing and enjoying the food and drink. Just feels cozy, especially with the fire on colder days. Service is also very good and attentive but don't make you feel rushed. Perfect for a relaxed afternoon.

Regular Saturday lunch venue, very accommodating to veggies and dogs. Very friendly and will always go off piste for special requests.

Greeting was very good, food excellent, well done Andre, a very enjoyable experience, highly recommended. Very nice beers too, what is not to like?

Popped in to this pub this afternoon for a couple of drinks and maybe something to eat. Really good range of wines available. Wraps were recommended to eat by a local couple in the pub. Had the chicken Cajun wrap; absolutely amazing; loads of flavour and perfect level of spice. Husband had the fish and chips and was equally impressed. Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

We took 2 friends to the Bell for lunchtime. We all commented on the delicious food.The pate (my favourite here) was a generous helping, so smooth and tasty, our friends enjoyed the scallops, and they said the calamari was just right..My cod was beautifully cooked, and the others who had pork, said it was good. We all were so full, we couldn't have desserts.

Jane the landlady was just lovely to everoyone who came in and this attitude had rubbed off on her staff too. My husband had beef I had the lamb both perfect

We booked a table on Friday evening,on arrival the restaurant was empty,never a good sign! My Mother ordered sauted Chicken which was extemely rubber like and she complained which they apologised for.I ordered spicy vegatable wrap which was for me inedible so hot it tasted of nothing,gaucamole brown,obviosly forgot to add lime juice,yuk!As my plate was full as it was taken away I was not asked if the food was ok.We complained again at the cash desk but staff not really interested in feedback.Chef had obviously had off night..Menu sounds impressive but very much below average in reality.

Per caso ci siamo fermati a cena in questo pub, ed é stata una piacevole sorpresa. Cibo molto buono, la signora che ci ha servito é stata molto cordiale. Abbiamo anche apprezzato che ci fosse scelta anche per vegetariani, dato che ero anche con mia nipote che é vegetariana.

Had Sunday lunch here today. We both had lamb which was superb! There was a good selection of vegetables all served well. We only had time for a main course but will be back soon to try to include one of the desserts. The menu was comprehensive and the service was excellent.

We enjoyed the best meal of our holiday here. The service, the friendly, helpful, and informative staff were excellent and the food was superlative. We had an excellent choice, the ingredients were obviously chosen with care, and the results were just perfect.

We came here as a group of 12 people, and were really well accommodated.

Friendly pub with lovely warm atmosphere and great food. My husband and myself had the beef burger which came with a choice of different toppings..real home cooked food. Can't wait to return in the summer

The food at the Bell is cooked and prepared extremely well, good portion sizes, interesting dishes which change regularly. Sunday lunch is particularly excellent value - the beef was cooked to perfection, none of this asking for rare and getting a charred tough old bit of leather, Sirloin! Wild Duck and Game also on the menu. I cannot recommend this place highly enough! A true Gastro Pub without any pretensions! good choice of wines also. Service always with a smile and a chat!

First time here for Sunday lunch , and it was excellent , best chicken liver pate for ages , and probably the best roast beef I have ever had at a pub/restaurant . My better half had the vegetarian roast and the crumble and custard which was also awesome ,

So glad to find that the food, the friendliness was still as marvellous as last year. We thoroughly enjoyed all that we had ,much needed after walking round the Malvern Spring Festival each day. Thank you to everyone for all your hard work and superb cooking.

A regular stop for use Jayne and Andre up to their usual high standard, we love the different tastes that Andre adds to his dishes. If you want traditional or something slightly different this is the place.

It's Friday, so obviously it's fish, chips and peas , all cooked to Andres normal excellence , Jane was her normal effervesce self , my wine was chilled to perfection, so all was well in my world...

Returning from a day out in Oxford, we were looking for somewhere for a bite to eat around 6pm on a Sunday evening when we came upon the Copthorne Bell. I hadn't been in this pub for many a year and it had certainly changed within. I was pleased to see that they had one of my favourite ales on as a guest beer, Butty Bach and what an excellent pint it was too. I opted for a roast Lamb dinner but my wife wanted a jacket potato with cheese. My lamb was delicious, lads of meat, tasty veg, potatoes and a delicious gravy, its a long time since I have had such a good Sunday roast except my dear wife's offerings of course!

I went to this pub on 13/05/18 with friends for Sunday lunch (having been here over a year ago last, when the owners Jane and Andre were new). Once again, the food was lovely (I had a white wine spritzer, roast Leg of Lamb, Pears...

On arrival we were given a warm and friendly welcome from landlady Jane. As a driver there were plenty of local soft drinks to choose from. We were shown to our table and our host could not be more accommodating. Whilst waiting to order the...

The Cropthorne bell is an excellent place to go very friendly.Jane and Andrea make you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door.

Celebrating a 60th birthday this week, booked for 8 adults and 4 children. Host's could not have been more helpful. Very disability friendly if aware. Service good for such a large group and good great with generous portions

Came here as part of a hen party, the staff were amazing! So helpful and offered us a package that catered to what we wanted! The food was so good and no one was disappointed! Would highly recommend!!!!

Have eaten here a couple of times recently and really enjoyed it

This food here never fails to delight us. Andres pate is so delicious, the pheasant was perfectly cooked and seasoned, as were the scallops and the Cod and Chips. Tasty, well cooked food at reasonable prices. And such a warm welcome.We will be back.

Absolutely amazing! Beef cooked to perfection, beautiful veg, and gravy. Nothing was too much trouble, good selection of wine and gins! Puddings to dive into and really enjoy, nice size portions! Perfect, thank you!

If there was a 'good' rating it would be more applicable than average, but very good would have been a bit too much. There was only 1 other table occupied - and no others as we left - which says a lot to me if you do a good sunday lunch. So, not the greatest ambiance. There is nothing particular I can put my finger on that would have made it very good, everything was good, and if we were passing would probably give it another go but I wouldn't go out of my way.

The menu was varied, which is useful when you are dining with all age groups and tastes.

We dined here for my son's birthday. Staff were very freindly but the food was poor. My sirloin steak the worst I have had. It was mostly fat and gristle and was burnt. I'm used to chat grilled but this had the taste of charcoal although it was rare inside. The burger my daughter had was burnt as was the roll. And I mean black burnt. All round the food was of poor quality. The staff were very apologetic about the steak but when it came to paying they took £6 off the bill, even though the steak was £15.50, because i had eaten the chips and salad. Overall a hood night out spoiled by poor food.

Yet again I sampled an excellent Lamb dinner. Cooked as I requested, loads of vegetables, attentive staff, and of course Jane and Andre, what more could anyone want.

Having spent a couple of days in this area, we decide not to have a meal in our hotel, checking trip advisor we saw this inn had great reviews, on arrival we were offered any table we wanted, we decided to have dinner in the nook, light were put on for us, once seated me he's were given and drink order taken, we decided to share entrees with a side order of dipping bread, the Asian fish cakes were very nice served on a salad, nice dressing, we then each had a different main, fish,chicken,lamb,venison all cooked to perfection, all served with there own selection of potatoes and veggies, then came the decision to have dessert, Anna recommended the damson and ginger crumble, which was ordered, apple pie, sticky date pudding and the chocolate tart all a very good size and yummy, so I highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed and good value for money, a high five for the chef.

Hemos comido aquí varias veces recientemente. El menú tiene una buena selección de comida, así que hay algo para todo el mundo. La comida siempre es precioso y recién preparado. Jane y Andre proporcionan una bienvenida muy cálida y la comida es muy razonable. Andre también atiende a aquellos que son sin gluten, lo que es práctico es esto se aplica a usted.

Hemos visitado este restaurante en más de una ocasión y siempre han recibido un excelente servicio. Atento, pero no era un fastidio que así. La comida ha sido fantástica y el menú ofrecido opciones apropiadas para las edades 11 a 79. Muy sabroso y con una buena relación calidad-precio. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente y sin duda volveremos de nuevo.

Disfruté de una fantástica comida aquí, el servicio era genial con la camarera y los propietarios son muy atentos. La comida era deliciosa y de un estándar muy alto. Tuve el filo crudite hornear, mis expectativas eran bajos, pero fue excepcional! Tranquilo en conjunto pero era martes. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo y se lo recomendaría a mis amigos.

Trying to get an evening meal out on a Sunday was proving very difficult, as most seem to do only Sunday lunch. However luckily for us, yesterday, we found The Bell Inn. There were twelve of us and we were going out to celebrate my birthday. We had the most enjoyable time. The meal was excellent. Staff were so friendly and service was spot on. After our meal the waitress brought through a birthday cake which was made by one of our friends and they gave me a birthday card signed by all the staff at The Bell. What a lovely touch. Thank you all so much. We will be back.

I had planned to meet some friends at the New Inn in Cropthorne but it was closed for a refurb. (Pity the web site didn't mention this.) So we went just up the road to the Bell and were not disappointed. Two of us had the gammon steak with egg, chips, tomato and mushroom which was excellent. The third member of our group had a sausage, egg and bacon ciabatta plus a side salad. We sat in the conservatory but there was a log fire in the bar area. The owners were very welcoming and the service was great.

We went for Sunday Lunch after a period when the Bell had been closed for some time. It used to be our favourite Sunday lunch, but now I have been left disappointed. The price was the same as it was before it closed (Opened again Nov 14) but the roast beef dinner was not too good, very hot, like it had been microwaved, it was tough too, like it had been microwaved. The Roast potatoes tasted like they had been re-heated, the Yorkshire pudding was only just cooked inside. The veg and roasted parsnips were good, however that didn't make up for the rest of the meal. We had expected a better meal to be honest and I doubt we will go back again. It's a shame as it always used to be excellent VFM and a tasty Sunday (Beef) lunch.

I visited recently with friends, The food was very lovely and good value, I recommend the Camembert! There was a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely visit again

Can't say I was very impressed, decided to eat in the lounge as the dining room I felt was not as nice and did not match the atmosphere in the lounge. We eat out a lot and felt the food certainly did not represent the price. It was over cooked and over priced the people there when we went were noisy loud, with ill behaved children, we were recommended by a friend, perhaps we went on a bad day, but certainly would be in no hurry to rush back

We had an average meal here - expensive for what it was and we are used to the prices you pay when eating in London. Sea bass was nice but sautee potatoes were awful, the mushroom and garlic sauce with the steak was minus garlic and slightly cheesey! Our starters were not great. It wasn't bad and we wouldn't have complained but it is a bit frustrating to pay over the odds - if pubs are on the high end of the price scale they ought to be able to produce better quality. I can't say I would recommend, there was no atmosphere and it was cold in spite of a number of heaters. However 10/10 to the staff, they were helpful and friendly.

can't fault it. Have eaten a few times. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Nice surroundings and a little outside garden for the summer or smokers.....

Enjoyed lunch on Boxing Day with a party of 6 of us. All three courses were excellent. I had phoned when booking to enquire if they could do me a different veggie meal to that which was on the menu. Very pleasant & helpful about this, & it was served to me on the day without my having to ask about it. I was impressed! We all enjoyed our meals very much, & were pleased with our choice of venue for this special occasion.

This was my first visit to the Bell following a recommendation from a friend who ate there in the Summer. Firstly I was disappointed about the temperature in the pub as it was cold and a number of the visitors were sat at tables in their coats. I personally felt the the food was overpriced, was nothing special, and did not represent good value for money. I am afraid I would not recommend or eat at this pub in the future.

My partner and I went here for Sunday lunch and were terribly disappointed. The beef was clearly boil in the bag, the Yorkshire pudding was like cardboard and the potatoes were as hard as rocks. Not worth the £13 each we paid at all.

passing en route to Oxford one evening. Pub looked good but expected limited pub grub as usual especially as I am coeliac. What a surprise, full gluten free menu, great staff and service and very reasonable prices. The food was fantastic. Happy to travel to this pub regularly, almost felt normal! Well done to all concerned. Other pubs etc please take note, you could learn something from these guys.

I was at The Bell Inn recently but it was not my first visit. I've have been here many times and although I try different restaurants in the area, this one is by far my favourite. It never lets me down and I just can't help returning here. The food is always perfect as is the service. The portion sizes are good and I have never ever had a bad meal in all the times I have been to The Bell. The restaurant itself has a lovely feel to it inside and I always feel comfortable. It is suitable for all clientele - couples, families, friends etc. I most definitely recommend The Bell Inn - it's amazing!

I've visited the Bell on many occasion and not been let down with the standard of the meal, the price, the atmosphere or the service. On most occasions I have eaten the steak, although I've also visited for their festive menu and found it to be very good also. Without a doubt I would recommend this to friend or colleagues.
