Excellent service and very friendly staff. We enjoyed our cheese and ham ciabbata and loved sitting in the sunshine in the back room. Well worth a visit to this lovely village watering hole.

We had a lovely lunchtime meal & a couple of drinks today. Game pie, veg & chips and Homemade Shepherds pie & veg. The lady behind the bar was very welcoming. They had a real open log fire that a gentleman was continually stoking, lovely on what was a cold day, and the people drinking in there were all very friendly. Dog friendly too. Thank you, we really enjoyed it.

Nice old pub built in the 1700s shame we sat in the extension double glazed lol found out pubs built near churches are named after how many bells are in the belfry hence this is called the bell others are called the six bells an so on

Great if you are a local. Can't get to the bar and have to wait for a space in discussions to get served. A total lack of atmosphere. Food is pre-cooked and reheated, not value for money at all. Chef tried hard to apologise and was very polite, but then reheated our food for a few seconds before bringing it back just the same. We will not be returning.

Without doubt the our best ever Sunday pub lunch….from hubby! It’s very rarely you are served every single item so perfectly cooked on each plate. From absolute quality food to the warm welcome and excellent service. We had no idea that this gem was only 8 minutes from our home in Littlestone - but we’ve only been here a couple of years! We shall be returning - and encouraging our friends and family to do so as well👍👍 Thanks so much and congratulations to the chef!

Friendly staff. Found food overpriced especially the fish platter as just frozen bits from bag amd fozen chips. Burgers went down well with the boys. A bit uncomfortable having people milling around us setting up for a wedding party. I guess we could have moved to another table But weren't offered another either. Saying that hope they had a lovely time. Garden looked lovely outside

Just had a Sunday lunch at the bell. It was first class They were busy yet the service was great and the food came quickly. Everything on the plate was home cooked. Roast potatoes, stuffing, Yorkshire puddings, and tons of homemade gravey. The meat was juicy and cooked amazing That’s not many places left that do a “ home cooked “ roast. It’s either pounced up with no substance and costs £30 a head or straight freezer to table. Excellent.

I have visited the pub many times and today decided to try there roast. I'm very fussy of my roasts and this one was extremely good. the meat tender, crackling spot on, Yorkshire puddings big and not at all greasy. absolute spot on. I must say this is quite a special little pub, the owner, staff and locals all make you feel very welcome and has a really traditional feel.

My daughter and I went to the Bell for dinner having enquired about their menu earlier when we booked, on arrival we were greeted warmly and cheerily by a young lady whom I neglected to get her name. Having checked the 'Spoecials" board we both went for the steak and kidney pudding which I/WE sum up in three letters OMG, it is such a long time since either of us have had such a good meal, the pudding was the best I've had since I dont know when and my daughter agreed totally, the vegetables were cooked perfectly, our only disappointment was the apple crumble had run out so we had to settle for the apple pie which did not disappoint.

This is the absolutely best pub roast I've ever had. My wife and I have been coming to the Bell for nearly a year. If we are ever out anywhere else to eat we always remark, wonder if it's going to be as good as the Bell's. Amazing atmosphere, superb food, great entertainment and ample parking. Don't leave it too late to book they always fill up on a Sunday and if you don't like a traditional roast, they always have a great selection on the specials board.

By a million miles the best Sunday roast lunch we have had. I don’t often have a roast when out for lunch as they don’t come up to my own, however the roast at The Bell was excellent in every respect. All homemade with fab roast potatoes, parsnips and Yorkshire puddings and lovely selection of vegetables, and beautiful beef with plenty of gravy. Truly exceptional value for money and quality. Thank you to all the lovely staff too

Had a holiday home at Camber for nearly a decade, normally used pubs and restaurants locally. Thought we would try somewhere different today. We have two severely autistic children so difficult for them to adapt sometimes but the pub were extremely accommodating from start to finish. We booked at 9.30am and arrived at 12.30. Table reserved and shown to table. Ordered food and drink and nothing disappoints about this place. The food was delicious and reasonable on price. The service was amazing and you are made to feel very welcome. The atmosphere is friendly and the locals were extremely friendly also. The pub is well kept and maintained. We were asked on a few occasions if everything was ok and all requests were dealt with immediately with a smile. I really was impressed with the staff, makes a nice change to have enthusiastic staff with brilliant training and attitudes. This pub is a real credit to the village and the area and really sets the standard. We all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch out and we will be going again for certain. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking to visit. You won’t be disappointed.
