The Bell Inn in Teignbridge

Enjoyed duck this evening. First meal there in recent weeks. Restaurant standard, excellent. Have been a regular for a couple of years, was worried about the new ownership. Needn't have. Excellent all round guys. Well done!

Roast dinner Sunday 28th April, Fantastic food with an upmarket feel, loved the parsnip shavings! Now under new leadership this place has really improved, much nicer atmosphere Well done team Bell we will be back

Lovely place. Had a couple of starters, delicious, very large portions . Sunday roasts looked amazing

Stunning pub and warm welcoming staff. Visited the Bell Inn because of staying just around the corner from it. The food was amazing and a lovely warm welcoming atmosphere. The dog was made to feel welcome as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a nice meal out. Will certainly visit it again when in this area. Thank you to Karen and the staff 🙂

Superb new management and friendly staff. Very welcoming atmosphere and dogs are welcome in side. Food was excellent and lovely service. Would highly recommend a visit to if you are in the area. Great evening thank you 😊

Just had a fantastic roast beef dinner. So well presented and plenty of mixed vegetables. This was one of the best roasts myself and husband has eaten. Well recommend. . Friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. Will definitely be returning.

Well what a turn over been cleaned up looking very good prices ok for this day and age lovely couple who engage with customers Karen you have done very well staff know what they are up to aswell all for the better see you soon 😊

Had a really nice time staff and food was really nice would recommend the bell ever time thank you to all at the bell

The newly owned Bell Inn is fantastic! The service was brilliant from Wayne and the team; super helpful and attentive. The food - next level!!! The chicken burger was the best I’ve ever had and the portion was massive (yes, I did finish it all!!). The focaccia sandwiches were also a favourite. Can’t wait to return and try more of the menu!

Food was absolutely gorgeous, belly pork was 10/10, the service from Karen & Wayne was outstanding from start to finish. Very attentive asking if we needed top ups on our drinks & checking back to make sure our food was perfect. Will definitely be returning

The staff here struggle heroically against a tyrannical and petty management who treat their employees appallingly. I would not spend a single pound here out of principle in support of the people who get fired for no reason, and the awful working environment. A terrible place out of kilter with modern working practices.

Met some friends for a drink decided to eat was not disappointed 😋

Working away from home and used this place for two nights. Great food, great staff and a nice friendly atmosphere, Ideal

Good food although slow to arrive. Placed virtually empty when we visited and very cold

We were a large pre booked party. Restaurant not that busy but 45 to 50 mins wait for food. Too long when you've got hungry kids to deal with. Lady at bar not conversant with till took ages to take order. Served other people drinks in between taking order. Overcharged initially as till hadn't been cleared down! Had to start again. When food did arrive it was lovely and in massive portions. I'm sure they would be disappointed with how things went for them. They apologised for delay saying it was because she had entered the wrong table number in the till on order. (Not sure what difference this would have made) To be fair at the very end they did offer free drinks by way of compensation but we were so full so not many takers.

Not at all great Lovely waitress food less than average, steak boring fish very small, chicken burger chewy. We have given this place several tries 80% have been we below expected for price.

Warning : Local pup. Been before. Quite used to the foul mouthed manager. Commented on the disgusting coffee service area covered in thick dust, coffee splatter and grime. Got barred by the foul mouthed manageres. If you can't serve hot what hope is there with cold. Recent issues with black detritus in the glass wash and the overall state of the place. I'm not sure the place deserves an audience, especially when the local pubs offer so much more, menu, manners and hygiene. Miserable clicky bar staff, wet sticky bar, bad language both sides and very disorganised. Kids at play. Regretful experience.

Good pub , food ,beer and staff

Love this pub, we go here all the time. The food is amazing. Always good quality, and also big portions which is a bonus. The staff are absolutely brilliant as well. If I had one gripe, it would be that their selection of alcohol is not great. Could do with more interesting wine and spirits. Having said that, it is a great atmosphere and I thoroughly enjoy visiting this pub. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a decent meal and a great atmosphere.

One of the best bistro pubs I've been to, after the chef died at "Old Timers" of Exeter had been looking for a replacement!. We ordered 2 pizzas and some dirty fries, large portions and good prices, £7 dirty fries could be considered a meal. As mentioned by a complaint, pizza so full of cheese and toppings they just slid off, lovely and what I like to see!. Really impressed will be bringing all the friends and family!.

Nice pub,good evening.Spoilt by the exorbitant price of the drinks.1 beer,1glass of wine....£11-50p.

So it’s Friday and we sometimes treat ourselves to lunch made by someone else, either for collection or delivery. We all had a burgers and were not disappointed. We had two French Canadians and a classic cheeseburger. Portions were huge and really tasty. Thank you chefs for our naughty lunch!

Not quite sure why we hadn't been before. Great pub with great food. Good selection of beers.

Food was excellent best pie I've ever had and plenty of separate gravy jug... Atmosphere was great music not too load... Good mixture of sounds

We visited last Tuesday for pie night, 2 for £20, and have got to say one of the best experiences eating out for a long time, atmosphere vibrant fantastic traditional country pub, good job, will definetly return

Had 2 lovely meals there until we chose 2 pies for £20 and they were awful , don’t pick them . The steak was nice , fish n chips & hunters chicken all lovely . Not much atmosphere but prices ok

A great casual night out. Service was great, especially Ruby, so polite and helpful. Food was lovely, in particular the French Canadian Burger, the bacon was delicious. Dog was welcome inside too, which was great. Well worth a visit 👍🌟

Went to the pub with friends last night and despite it being very busy a girl moved tables around to fit us all in which was much appreciated. The food was amazing with large portion sizes for a cheap price. The service was amazing and fast despite how busy it was. Me and my friends will definitely be going back.

Thank you to the Bell Inn staff for a lovely selection of well cooked food.

Great food, friendly atmosphere 👌

Just had the most beautiful meal with the family. Just travelled from Essex and was hunting for a pub local to where we are staying that did proper home made grub. Food was so lovely and huge portion sizes! Kids loved there food also which can be tricky to please them both when out! Beer was lovely and lively to. Beautiful pub and paintings around the place. Really did enjoy ourselves. And am absolutely stuffed 😂 thank you guys 😁👍❤️🍺

Lovely food in a very comfortable pub.

Had lunch here on 22.7.23 with family from Australia and was a brilliant meal for all of us, really good food and good excellent service. Thankyou

Plenty of food but tuff beef only just warm. Thanks but no thanks

Lovely place for a pint. The food is great, and they have a poker night on Wednesdays starting at 7:30pm. What more could you want. 🍻

We live local and know this place for its good food. On this occasion we went with our 3 children and had some pizza which was ok, however our trip was somewhat ruined by some young lads vaping inside. We brought this to the attention of the bar staff as our kids were beginning to complain of the smell and it was just dismissed, shortly after we saw one of the lads at the bar vaping and having a laugh with the staff, this explains why this was dismissed the first time as it was clear they were fine with this. As a family pub with good food we expected better as there is nothing worse than trying to enjoy a meal with the smell of cigarettes or vaping wafting in your faces. We have used this place for a number of staff do's and family functions over the years but after this we will be looking elsewhere as we do not enjoy eating with the smell of vaping in our faces nor do we want our children thinking this is acceptable behaviour. It's a shame they allow this to happen we were not the only people complaining there were a number of other tables that felt the same way. We all left without dessert as we couldn't stand it any longer.

Nice staff. Tasty food. Chips were fantastic. So was chili

Just had a splendid meal, will be back soon !!!

Good food . Needs Carling back on tap !!

Great pub, friendly, great food everything you need, dog friendly perfect for a evening out

Always excellent food and staff

Staying inthe area for 5 nights we were looking for a dog friendly pubthag served food. Well we hit a real winner with this one. Not only super friendly and welcoming to dogs, (we met so many new doggie friends) but the foodus honestly amazing. We never expected a local village pub to serve that level of food. We sampled over 3 nights, yes we went back 2x more it was so good, a range of their food. From the pies,which I can honestly say were the best pies I've tasted for many a year. Not only packed with filling, but the pastry was out of this world. Perfect.mash and peas accompanied, simply but super tasty withthe addition of onion crispy bits. Burgers that were sampled by others were all commented that they were moist and delicious. The bass dish was also excellent, the curry I had night 2 was one of the best I'd had for quite a while. Lots of filling and not the normal lots if sauce with little meat etc.rice with chilli extra was great. Anx dont think they could havd got larger popadoms. Husband said the hunters chicken was amazing too. Infact us having repeats of our first nights choice says it all really. Now the sweets. We had roulade ,sticky toffee and rocky road the first night. Very tasty. However after seeing the rocky road, we all had that the next 2x. Not only a genius idea to have in a jar, base was lovely and crumbly, cheesecake yummy, but best bit was the hunt for the maltesers. Cue loads of laughter and "why have I not found one?"" Oh wait. .here I go" Had we been staying longer we may have tried more of the menu, or just had those amazing pies again. Hopefully we will be back in area sometime and needless to say our first stop will be the Bell Inn. Thanks guys n girls for the great welcome, service and food.

Lovely, cosy atmosphere, great service and home cooked food. Staff are lovely

It's got very expensive for the food. Even though the food is nice, they have put prices up and half the portion sizes, which is why I have to down rate the place. Its a nice clean tidy pub otherwise.

Food was amazing. The desserts where Brilliant, the puds in the jars are cheesecakes. We all had different burgers and each 5⭐️

Good food service good and best of all our little dog was welcome

Excellent food and service and bonus you can take your dog 🐕

Sunday roast potatoes were nice. As for the meat no taste Vegetables very poor. Reasonable sweet.

I love the Bell Inn for it's cozy old world local pub appeal, easy parking, great food and clean friendly atmosphere.

Just average this time. A bit disappointed this time around. The Nacho’s were pretty poor. Cheese has been replaced with a cheap cheese sauce which was a bit naff. The nacho’s used to be so good! Pleased to say that the burgers were still delicious. They had no ice or fruit for drinks which wasn’t great. A gin and tonic isn’t great without ice. We’ll give it another go, but please bin the cheese sauce and bring the cheese on the nacho’s back!

Looking for a pub for Boxing Day to catch up with friends down to see family. Checked websites to see what was open Bell Inn advertised as open until 11.00. Arrived at 9.00 told pub was closing. Last orders had been called. Explained that we’d checked opening hours before going out and was told by the bar steward ‘not my problem mate’. No hint of regret, apology or concern. Having working in hospitality for about 15 years myself, I’m a little taken aback by the total lack of interest by the staff.

The roast dinner on a Sunday today was bloody lovely. 11 of us, veggies and meat eaters, all come out hot and tasty. Loads of veg and gravy. Yorkshire puddings with tasty onion shreds. Top notch. Great staff to, so helpful and happy.

Lovely food and generous portions, reasonably priced. Service was fairly prompt. Visited on a Tuesday evening so understandably quiet. Was able to bring the dog in which was why we chose it. Will be back when next in the area.

Had roast dinner on Sunday which was lovely

Very disappointed with my meal..I had a chicken burger..the chicken was absolutely tasteless and a bit watery so that went in my handbag for my dog..I did eat the bun and salad as I was hungry..did mention to the young chap behind the bar that it was the worst meal I’d had for a long time..and I have today he was very nice..I didn’t complain during the meal as quite honestly I didn’t want the hassle..I just wanted to eat and go home we had had a busy morning..but sad to say I won’t be returning ..oh and the music was way way to loud

Food here was absolutely delicious. The girls on front where lovely. Chef, credit too you the food was delicious and the presentation was 10/10 also along with the flavours to back up the plate. Sunday roast 2 for £17 absolute bargain for the quality food your get all in with drinks well under £30

What a wonderful pub restaurant great food xx

First time..very friendly bar staff and locals

So Courtney is amazing but the young boy who works there ruins it with his disgusting attitude and how rude he is. Talks to people like they are pieces of poo. Would be ashamed if my child spoke like that to people, wouldn’t go back purely because of the attitude on the little boy.

Lovely food, good size portions, cheesecake menu (scrummy). Menu was a bit grubby.

The coleslaw was lacking in acidity. Otherwise a serviceable meal in a delightful, yet southern atmosphere. There was cheese on my gammon which seemed odd. Staff were friendly and the outside area was spacious and perfect for an evening soirée.

Went in weth friends on a Monday evening, nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, had a nice cold beer and a delicious paella served on a sizzling skillet, will definitely go again

Sunday lunch was very tasty and plentiful

Great food ! We had the maple bacon chicken burger it was amazing and with their Monday burger deal too so it was a bargain ! Will definitely be going back to try their pizzas in the beer garden !

Slow service... Staff could smile.. 😥Food very very standard... At a push! 😩😩😩

We stayed at this pub car park on a Monday night on our way to Devon. We had a lovely meal of of pie chips onion gravy peas the lot they are lovely big meals and very very tasty We washed them down with a few drinks all very reasonably priced and less than the price of a campsite pitch. The staff were very y helpful and polite and all topped off with a beautifully peaceful sleep in the van in their car park many thanks to the landlord and staff we will definitely call here again.

First look was great, me and my partner came here for lunch, however the experience was not great at all. The venue itself has a lot to offer with space and is nice inside.. my main concern was the quality of food was below par just one exame was the oily overbattered fish. Secondly charging 7 pound for two post mix cola was very pricy as costs more than a pint of beer very disappointed

Lovely roast dinner good value good service really enjoyed

Foods waa great staff really lovely wood go again for sure

This is a really good pub,clean and tidy, good selection of ales and beers, nice to see

Lot of people in the pub , service was good and the atmosphere was grate.

What a fantastic find this pub was. Staying at a near by hotel and found this on Google. Food was excellent and plentiful too and had some cocktails which were not drowned in ice which was great. Price wise I would say great value but that does depend on the individual. Also another great thing was the food was hot. So a highly recommended.

Lovely Sunday roast, reasonably priced, pleasant staff. Would go there again.

. Glad to be able to go back to this place. Great atmosphere. Food is good pub grub. Band nights are great and always a lively night.

This pub is slightly off the beaten track but it has a nice big car park and it's one of the very few around that is open all day, good beers and although I didn't eat, the menu looks very good .

Nice atmosphere, well priced, good menu.

Lovely food friendly staff our cocker spaniel lapped up all the attention and had treats from behind the bar

Saw Audius Maximus here, always a great sound, first time at this pub, nice atmosphere didn't have food but what I saw looked really nice.

Fantastic food, great friendly staff, very welcoming and good prices been twice now while down on business will definitely go back, very highly recommended

Service good food was delicious well done see you again

Haven't been to the bell Inn for ages, but what a cracking meal, 6 of us for a roast and the food was great, staff were all quick and polite. A shout out for Tim who works there. Haven't seen him for about 3 years, but welcomed me and my family like old friends, which was really nice! 5 stars all the way for me.

Sunday lunch to die for, great service, staff friendly, very helpful will return xxx

Well priced delicious food, lovely staff

Good food , nice friendly service , lovely atmosphere.

Nice food reasonably priced. There is a little outdoor area for the kids to play too. Staff were friendly too.

Nice enough pub, well decorated and comfortable. Friendly and attentive staff and also dog friendly. Unfortunately food let's it down, doesn't seem to be made in house and of the standard you would expect in a hungry horse or similar establishment. It's a real shame as the pub is really welcoming. Maybe just visit for a drink

Great atmosphere, and the bar staff, Diane and Lara, are really friendly!

Food came out quicker than advised which was a good start, everyone enjoyed their food.

All the pub essentials for food, plenty of chips, great "slaw", but my burger did look and taste a little bit "Iceland". Food took a while to arrive. Good place for a family holiday meal.

Nice friendly pub. Good atmosphere and really good food. We will definitely be returning on our next race day. 🙂🙂🙂

The staff we very helpful and the food was excellent and priced very well

Great food, atmosphere and food..

Had lunch here during the week. Food was lovely, well presented and the service was good. I did not give 5 stars because of the volume of the music playing. We found ourselves talking louder over it. As we're other customers.

The Bell Inn has always been a friendly, welcoming pub. Good food, nice beer garden and an enclosed kids play area which makes it the perfect place for young families too.

Lovely food and staff, expecially Diane, how went above and beyond to make sure we were happy... Highly recommended

We were turned away from the beefeater around the corner, and I’m glad we were as we found this little gem ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Better food and better hospitality

Lovely food and lovely staff. Visited on 5/08/2021

Great old pub with good service and food menu.

So much choice on the menu ! Food was tasty and hot ! Went on a Monday lunchtime so not too busy. Good parking space outside and a little play area. Reasonably priced good choice of drinks
