the bell inn in Torbay - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Got a takeaway carvery, meet portion was small, staff were unfriendly and impolite, I wasn’t aloud to get my own food, was dished up for me, staff drinking a pint behind the bar. Wouldn’t go again!!!

Friendly, welcoming and Wendy's sausage rolls are the best I've ever tasted!! An absolute must to try!

Called in to this hidden gem for a carvery, I'd read the reviews & omg it lived upto it's 5 out of 5 rating if we could have given it a 10 we would have done, it's the best Sunday roast we have had & that includes formal meals. The place is spotlessly clean & the decor beautiful & the staff absolutely lovely, it's just a 15mins walk out of Brixham centre. Put it on your list you won't be dissapointed. Thanks.

Very friendly staff, beautifully kept Inn. The Sunday lunch was to die for, expertly cooked meats and vegetables. My eyes were bigger than my belly (as my mom used to say) I filled my plate to capacity, and then some. I nearly licked the plate clean!!! Forgot to mention, A BARGIN.

Sunday lunch at The Bell is a wonderful experience. A warm welcome, great surroundings, helpful staff and best of all, delicious food at a very reasonable price. We have visited with family and friends and all have been pleased with the restaurant. Thank you to all of you.

The best carvery in Torbay. The carvery is served in a beautifully converted barn with beamed roof and mezzanine behind the pub. When we went 5 meats were available (from which we could choose two). We had beef lamb and pork all of which were excellently cooked (slightly pink in middle). There was also turkey and gammon. The crackling perfect. Huge selection of fresh veg, including crispy roasties, dauphinoise, creamed swede, carrots, cabbage. Yorkshires and stuffing. The hosts were friendly and relaxed. For sweet there was a choice of two home-made cheesecakes (orange or peanut butter). My orange cheesecake was light and beautifully citrusy. Very modern clean wash rooms. At £10.95 for the roast and £4.45 for sweets it is amazing value. Great job. We will come again.

Lovely nice clean pub with a friendly atmosphere and a very nice landlady.

We came with my extended family, including a toddler and someone with dietary needs. They were AWESOME. All our needs were catered for. The food was delicious and plentiful. To find a place that serves such good food at a reasonable price in this age of "austerity" was a delight. Will recommend to anyone who loves a good carvery.

Great carvery and they do takeaway Sunday roast! Good portion size and lovely desserts , would recommend. Book in advance if eating in

We visited yesterday for a carvery. WOW! It was spotless, the carvery was to die for. Quite possibly the most delicious food I’ve ever had out & it’s homemade to top it off! The 3 ladies in there were absolutely lovely, so welcoming and attentive. They all made a big fuss of my 2 year old and nothing was too much trouble. It’s a shame they’re 120 miles away or we’d be there every Sunday. We will definitely be returning and will base all of our holidays around the delicious carvery! Thank you ladies, your food is delicious & underpriced! Xx 🥰

Family birthday meal, delicious selection of well cooked meats and vegetables. Patient, friendly staff(there was lots of kids in our group.

I had Sunday lunch here today. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were lovely. I will be returning here for sure.

So welcoming, Sunday carvery is amazing, good value for money, lovely atmosphere, the building is lovely, clean and spacious, thank you we will see you soon

Omg! The first carvery to offer lamb and it was cooked to perfection! Couldn't decide so had beef as well! Both melt in your mouth,the accompaniments or veggies etc perfect!! Garlic "dauphinois" sublime ,plates couldn't hold enough! Blown away!!!atmosphere lovely ,staff amazing.thank you

Amazing carvery, meat was spot on and massive range of veg. The creamy garlic potatoes were amazing. Home made pudding range was good, white chocolate brownie was epic!

The Sunday carvery is absolutely amazing! All fresh home cooked food which you can tell has been made with love! This is a hidden gem and so glad we found it. Such a friendly welcoming place and we are always made to feel welcome even with our baby. No complaints atall, it's family run and we look forward to going here every time. Please go, you won't be disappointed!

What a surprise! Probably the best carvery in Brixham. Omg... The parsnips!! 😍

Great pint and excellent service while waiting on the Chinese next door

The best Sunday carvery we have ever had everything was amazing.

Fantastic carvery lovely staff. Always welcoming and the food is wonderful every time. Highly recommended

Great local pub. Went for Sunday lunch after a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. A wide choice of meats and vegetables all home cooked and really delicious. Staff were also great and extremely welcoming and we will definitely be back.

The only place in town where you can catch all the live football, cricket and rugby, play a game of pool for just 20p, and enjoy cheap premium lager. Ran by two lovely publicans who also put on a great carvery each week.

We booked the function room for a 50th birthday party. Asked Wendy (the landlady) to put on a Caribbean themed feast (no beige buffet here!) Omg she pulled out all the stops! Authentic goat curry, rice and peas, Jerk chicken, a Caribbean coleslaw to literally die for! Cold meats and breads. Needless to say, everyone was blown away but the effort, taste and presentation! Thank you. The party was a great success and that was down to everyone involved 😘😘😊

Great local pub, if you play darts, pool or cards, this is the place to be. Excellent Sunday carvery and function room for your party, buffet at a reasonable price.

This is the second year that Harold and I have visited for a Sunday lunch. I have never had better anywhere anytime. Absolutely excellent Sunday carvery. Best to book in advance. Sometimes and occasionally a walk-in is available.

Always a great pint and lovely locals

Made space at last min for 8 people, on Easter Sunday. We were made very welcome, excellent friendly service, Carvery all freshly cooked & fantastic price. Will definitely be visiting again when stating in the area. Excellent little find Thank You

Great food. Great service. Lovely atmosphere. Thank you for a really lovely Carvery - we felt very taken care of! Visiting for a friends birthday and didn’t disappoint.

Lovely carvery, food was brilliant and lovely atmosphere. Beer was good too! Friendly for the children too

Really good Sunday lunch, great staff . Good selection of meat, veg and nice desserts. Need to book in advance to secure a place as they get busy

Myself and the Mrs found this place whilst having a long weekend down in brixham camping, they ðo the carvery upstairs in a lovely converted loft area,quirky but nicely decorated. The carvery was stunning..a great selection of home made quality veg and 4 meats on offer..it really was lovely, and the added bonus of a selction of puddings and deserts for afters,will definitely go back when next in brixham

Usual excellent quality Sunday dinner but unfortunately spoiled by large noisy group with bored children wandering around. Not entirely the pubs fault or indeed the children's, although the tables are squashed in and the middle table was rammed along with an additional baby chair, so having large groups does not work well in this space if there are children. (again not the children's fault) I have been in the past and will certainly go again because the food is excellent.

Had Sunday Lunch, it was amazing definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Waited 35mins for a booked table ,waiting for other people to finish there food ,ruined mothers day ramming people in hoping they finish quickly joke

Nice friendly staff nice pub good beer good atmosphere

Fabulous carvery, amazing selection of meat and veg and so reasonably priced, really friendly staff, booked for next Sunday. Thoroughly recommend The Bell

Have lived in Brixham for many years but I would never have known the Bell did carvery’s like this. Fantastic choice of four different meats (all cooked to perfection ie. not incinerated ) and a massive choice of well cooked vegetables. You would go a long way to beat it. Thank you so much.

Reasonably priced good small carvery

Very friendly, 90 year old Jim was great. Very professional

Sunday Roast Carvery with a selection of Meats and Vegetables second to none and to top it off Apple Pie and Cream. Very Friendly Staff and Ambiance.

Nice friendly place, pool talble , dartboard

Lovely pub and great carvery on a Sunday

We’ve been to The Bell on many occasions for Sunday carvery and we’ve never been disappointed. The food really is 2nd to none. As it’s a carvery you help yourself, so it’s as much as you can put on your plate if you’re that way inclined, and people do, but it’s not very often you see any waste! The ingredients are all locally sourced and prepared and cooked on the premises by local people, who are helpful and friendly. Can thoroughly recommend The Sunday Carvery and if you haven’t got time to eat there, they will prepare a takeaway for you, what more can you ask.

You are assured of a warm welcome by your hosts Wendy and Steve This pub has been extensively modernised over the last two years and, is now a real gem. The bar has a good selection of beers and ciders. The carvery is open Sundays. Booking is advised. Sandwiches and rolls are available at the bar.

Just delicious! We celebrated our friend's birthday today, she'd been yearning for a traditional Sunday lunch so we knew just the place to take her. Excellent carvery (as usual) but the homemade desserts were an experience, the only time we stopped talking and started moaning,...

Although I don't go out that often, the Bell is one of my locals, great landlords, do a great pint and Although I haven't tried their roasts yet apparently they are amazing. Something to look forward to .

Absolutely delicious carvery, plus a nice walk from the harbour wets your appetite. Book its a must°

We visited The Bell recently for Sunday lunch as it was close to my sister in law’s home so we could walk down. This place serves the nearest thing to home made Sunday lunch I have ever tasted; it could have been my dear departed...

Had a great couple of hrs here with my brothers from up north , very nice carvery on Sunday best in brixham , you have to book though

Great pub, great people and the best roast dinner in the bay !! Cheers Wendy & Steve 🍻

Fabulous Sunday lunch takeaway very impressed very helpful brilliant service

Best Sunday carvery in the area. Choice of 5 roast meats and 8 veg - all beautifully cooked. Will definitely call again. Hope they'll soon serve weekday food too!

Wow!!!Delicious! great carvery, the best in town. Went with my relatives and we scoffed rather a lot. Venue is bright, spotless and staff are warm.and friendly. Round 2 very soon.

Wendy at the bell is one hell of a host been down playing euchre the best bit is the food she puts on at half time

Every time we have eaten here the meal has been delicious and unbelievable value for money. Owner , Chef And staff very friendly.

Very accommodating. After specifying I can't do dairy they cooked the veg without butter especially for me. The Sunday roast will take some beating. It really was lovely. And the people there are lovely and caring too

Small bar but lovely atmosphere. They do serve a carvery which is really nice, very well laid out and very well cooked. I'm not 100% but I think they do other food during the week.

Lovely roast, also catered for gluten and dairy free patrons. Will definitely be back. Amiance is old barn, tastefully done up. Spotlessly clean.

We recently held our vow renewal reception at the Bell Inn . Such a warm friendly environment the ownerWendy was wonderfull she laid on a superb buffet for us and the function room was beautifull and very reasonably priced. I would recommend the Bell in...

Fantastic carvery. The meat was excellent and the choice of vegetables was superb. A real home cooked experience and excellent value for money. Will definitely be going back again. The service was superb - very friendly and helpful. Lovely experience for mother’s day.

Sunday carvery is amazing at the Bell, choice of 5 meats, fine selection of vegetables, all succulently prepared, and a delicious selection of deserts if you can manage to eat anything after the carvery. Best carvery in Brixham, maybe the bay, bar none.

We went for Mother's Day lunch and it was very well organised, with very good food as usual. The Mums got free puddings! My mother in law was ecstatic over the home made lemon meringue pie. They are very friendly, lots of effort and really...

Wendy and Steve serve a delicious Roast dinner, also very impressed with the spacious and clean environment, will definitely be returning, not only for Roast Dinner on a Sunday.

Absolutely brilliant, locals were so welcoming, felt like we had been going for years!

Had such an amazing Carvery here today. The best we’ve had out in a long while. Couldn’t believe the choice of meats and the variety of well cooked and presented vegetables. The crackling was first class. Excellent value for money. Will defiantly be back.

Having not been to the Bell Inn for years had a carvery there today with family food was excellent proper home cooked and staff were brilliant

Carvery is served in a converted barn/building at the rear of the premises which we didn’t even know existed. We had a warm welcome and the food is excellent. A large selection of both meats and veg and all super tasty.

Well, going somewhere two weeks in a row for Sunday lunch is a record for me - but totally worth it. Went with friends one week and family the next, we all raved about it. The local pub downstairs is basic but really friendly, the...

Excellent family run pub, superb food and one of the few venues that have lamb as a choice, advisable to book in advance.

This Sunday carvery was the best ever. Loads of choice and cooked to perfection. Family run pub, friendly and welcoming..booking advised as it's popular.

Love everything about it. Thank you to our lovely hosts: Wendy, Steve and wendy's son for their warm hospitality. We clicked on the same interests from the moment we met. We spent hours talking. It's an absolute pleasure to finally find a place I can happily call my local pub away from home. I love the refurbishment, and the fact its a good sized pub/carvery. I can't wait to try Wendy's carverys on Sunday's. I may have to postpone my trip home on Sunday for the carvery not to forget to spend time with those that make my trips to Brixham special. Thank you so much for making me feel at home. Wendy and Steve, I couldn't thank you enough in person. All the best with your children's careers. Harry from London/Norfolk

Just had such an amazing carvery. Couldn't fault anything it was lovely, we had a dessert as well it was the best baileys cheesecake I've eaten and my husband had the peach and gooseberry crumble with custard. It was all delicious glad we went

Lovely atmosphere ,very homely friendly and cheerful . Loved the decor and bright outside space .staff very helpful and lovely . Shall definitely return thank you 👍

The best Sunday lunch we have had! We were a little concerned when we arrived with the family as you have to walk through the pub to get to the dining area. The pub is not the nicest looking from the outside but don’t let...
