My favourite pub in the area good beer great Sunday carvery, great gardens. So apprehensive about a curry night as always thought restaurant's best for this type of food however a chef coming in Tuesday/ Saturday s specialising in this food so letโs give it a go even though expensive compared to average restaurants. So ordering staff not sure if cash only as outside catering using kitchen? Food arrives clumpy rice , tasteless dangerously low temperature obviously reheated. shredded chicken in a bland sauce again reheated, garlic naan no comment. Will leave it there AVOId if you like curry

Stopped for drinks only. Very friendly/ sociable staff. Dogs welcomed, and there was a Dog Bar in outside seating area. Ideal for a sunny afternoon visit.

Excellent food.However we went to steak night for the first time. Spoke to the young ladies at the bar...told them we had booked.They told us to take our table. We had a drink and waited but we're not advised that we had to order at the bar..Apart from that excellent night.

Obviously more of a 'locals' pub, rather than welcoming visitors. Felt a bit like we were an inconvenience which is a shame because it looks like a nice place.

Utterly appalling service. Stood there in front of two bar staff who completely ignored us and served others who came in afterwards. Clearly a very cliquey establishment who only recognise those from the village. Passing trade? Forget it!

We were staying in Whittington and went to the bell for a Sunday Carvery! It was fabulous .great pub and they have a large beer garden too.I went the Saturday night and they had music

This is a proper local pub. There is a carpark but it gets busy and you may need to park offsite. It is small but cosy. The service was lovely and very helpful, but they were very quiet when we visited. Speed of service was adequate. Menu and prices were decent. Several items were not available but enough choice remained. Portions were adequate but not big. Would happily return

We were a little disappointed, having seen the great ratings. I assume that they may have been short staffed on the day we visited, as the service was very slow, with not many people there. They did apologise and said that a table of 6 had just arrived so there may be a 20 minute wait for food. We ordered and the food arrived 50 minutes later. I think there may have been unforeseen issues on the day. The quality was ok.

Been a few times to the bell for Sunday lunch, first class carvery, staff are friendly and helpful, always busy so you do need to book and also that the carvery is on as sometimes they do a BBQ if the weather is good.

Lovely Sunday roast. Lovely and hot and fresh. Nice atmosphere. Nice traditional pub. Music in background good too, from era i like. Too many pubs have rappy loud unintelligible music that isn't conducive to relaxing. 80s music best in my opinion. Definitely recommend, this fun local pub.

Have been coming to this pub over a few years and always found it great. Although recently the children's play area has left me concerned and not wanting to allow my child to play. There's many broken bikes and other toys with sharp metal edges where the handles have come off. There's lots of nettles around the base of the climbing area which is quite unsafe. The play areas used to be a wonderful asset to the pub but recently they have been left to deoteriate and become unsafe. Not sure how much it is risk assessed really. Shame as it really is a wonderful pub otherwise.

One of the highlights of visiting my son who lives in the village is coming to the Bell Inn. I'm not a massive drinker but manage to visit 3 times in a weekend. Atmosphere is great and the locals all make you feel welcome. On a sunny day its great to sit in the garden which is huge. Cant wait to visit again.

We went on a Sunday lunch time. We understood that they had carvery on but we only wanted a light lunch. The staff said they could make us a cob each. When they came they were full of meat and fresh salad and were very tasty and very good value for money. All the staff were pleasant and approachable and were very accommodating when they could have said its just carvery today. I would definitely recommend this pub to anyone.

My first time here for a Sunday lunch and wow was it delicious! (Must take a photo next time) we had honeycomb cheesecake for after, omg it was amazing service quick and very pleasant. Young lady who works on a Sunday cleaned the tables immaculately lovely to speak to. Try the ale called Neck Oil it's really nice. They had a large paddling pool there Sunday for the kids.

Only thing is I couldn't go back for more as 1) we needed to be off the table and 2) I didn't know if we were allowed more. Apart from that it was a nice little pub. Thank you so much. Sean
