The Five Bells in South Holland

5 Bells, local pub, its a PUB, its a great little PUB, it does what it says on the tin so to speak plus more. Its a PUB so has a pool table and places to eat and it sells beer and alcohol to locals as well as people nipping in on holiday or day trips, it has to (As all PUBS do) cater to all sorts of people to survive etc etc. Its a PUB and long may it continue to be so. Well done all.

Came in for some drinks with a group of friends one evening. Glad to see a pool table which I wasn’t expecting. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff who couldn’t be more accommodating. Saw how good the food looked and decided to stay for some. Absolutely delicious! Sat in the conservatory which was decorated as wonderfully as the rest of the pub, aswell as the fantastic tree and Christmas decorations outside. Will definitely be back again.

Over the past couple of years we’ve come to regard the Five Bells as our local, it had a pleasant atmosphere, family and dog friendly and a nice place to chat over a beer or enjoy an excellent meal. A few people from the village had said to us that following the recent arrival of a pool table they wouldn’t be going there again. We decided to see for ourselves and booked a table to eat, we were given the choice of a table in the conservatory or the bar. Had we have chosen the conservatory, it was cold and we would have been on our own, sitting in the bar it was very noisy with a constant barrage of foul language! The food was excellent as per usual but it really wasn’t an enjoyable evening! I shouting and swearing around a pool table ‘floats your boat’ this now seems to be the place to go, if you want to enjoy a drink or a nice meal, unfortunately you’ll need find somewhere else!

Disappointing experience. Food was warm not hot. No steam rising from anything. Advised waitress who said she would pass it on but never came back to acknowledge. Won't be back

My friend and I ate in there last week . The quality of food has gone down hill, very disappointing, it really is a shame . It seems to be focusing now on serving drinks to a lot of noisy drunks that prop the bar up all night , that end up taking tables over in the restaurant talking loudly inappropriately, not a nice experience, and now a pool table has been put in the restaurant. Very disappointing .

2nd time we've been here, first time wasn't great, bit ill always give a place a 2nd chance disappointing experience again. I'm guessing the chef is not the owner?

Best Sunday lunch food delicious. The atmosphere great and staff brilliant always a warm welcome never disappoints. Will definitely be back

Do not worry about the outside view, inside is a great welcome by the young lady behind the bar, after ordering drinks we were seated at a window seat the menu offers two choices the general and one for the two course special for Wednesday and Thursday, when the food arrived the portions were very generous and were delicious. the desserts were also generous and delicious. I would definitely recommend the five bells for food at a reasonable price

We found this pub, as we were holidaying in the area, and it was a Thursday Burger and Pint night. Massive portions and cooked beautifully. The salad dressing was to die for and I wish I had asked for the details. So if the chef is reading this please let me know. Uninsured25@hotmail.com

Booked a table for a evening meal for the 1st time here and we were not disappointed, food is excellent, good size portions all piping hot, All staff friendly and professional very welcoming. Nice relaxing atmosphere and a good choice of beer at a reasonable price. Will visit again. Do yourself a favour and give it a try. Ed

Friendly cosy pub with amazing food. All our meals were cooked to perfection! Good service and nice christmassy interior.

We went for Sunday roast, we had a table for 6 including my 2.5 year old daughter, firstly I was elated to be told that children eat for £1. Usually she would share some of mine, however she had her own mini plate and throughly enjoyed it. You get the feeling that there is a pleasant family ethos amongst the staff and owners. Our food arrived a large plate with plenty of meat, followed by large bowls of seasonal veg (even Brussels Spouts), then large bowls or roasties and then without asking 2 gravy boats. Portion sizes were big and we all felt well fed. The gravy was extremely tasty and not too salty, no Bisto in this restaurant! The Roasties were exceptionally well cooked. Overall we all highly rated the food and experience. We loved the Christmas decor. Strongly recommend!

Took advantage of the ‘burger and a pint’ deal tonight (Thursday). Very impressed. Lovely quality burger in a brioche bun with chunky chips and salad. I’ll be back!

This local has changed! Now clean and welcoming with pleasant staff. They offer a simple but interesting lunch time menu still at pub prices. The food is well cooked, presented & served with care. Well worth a visit and wish the new owners the best of luck.

Great place to stay with really friendly staff and good beer choice. Can't wait to stay again and try the restaurant

Lovely atmosphere, excellent roast dinner and all the trimmings. Staff friendly. Allow time to wait for dinner as everything is made to order. My 18 month old grandaughter was made very welcome and the high chair was comfortable... and clean!

Lovely dinner at very good prices; friendly staff & a great atmosphere,one of the staff gave our grandchildren colouring books to keep them entertained.would definitely go again when next down visiting

We were welcomed with a smile by the staff, a roaring open fire and fine selection of beers. The Sunday Roast was as good as you'll find anywhere, a choice of beautifully cooked meats, homemade Yorkshire's and Roasties and a large selection of vegetables. If you can get in (book ahead) you won't be dissapointed. Superb!!!

The atmosphere is great. The landlord John and his staff works extremely hard to make sure everyone has a great time. Sunday lunch is the best. Highly recommended. I am looking forward to family visits as I know I can bring them somewhere that they will enjoy.

My local pub. Its got a great Jukebox, John the landlord who has a sense of humour and it sells beer. What more do you need??? Keep these Great British traditions alive, drink in your local.

My wife and I called in for Sunday lunch as its too hot to cook!!!A super meal 7 different vegetables and either Turkey or Beef had one of each all cooked well and served well.We have been for evening meals so knew to expect generous portions not disappointed. The bill was very reasonable so a great place to eat we really are lucky to have a gem like thisin the village thanks to all for their service.

This family run village pub is a secret gem in the heart of the Fens. Just off the A1101 between Wisbech and Long Sutton in the village of Tydd St Mary. It is a traditional hub of the community with a number of sports teams affiliated to it and supported by it. The Pub does meals through the week, but the jewel in the crown is the Sunday lunches!A choice of 3 roast meats, loads of veg and gravy, perfectly cooked by John the landlord, giving his snazzy chequered chef’s trousers a weekly outing!! A dessert board is available with plenty of choice of traditional and modern deserts and puddings. The two courses are excellent value for money (under £12 a head), I have never left there hungry!! John always has at least one real ale on, usually a local beer (often the excellent and very local Tydd Steam Brewery) to compliment this great value, tasty and hearty Sunday lunch. We have sampled the Sunday lunches a great number of times and have never been disappointed. I would ring to book a table either in the bar by the open fire (in winter) or in the quieter restaurant. I have no hesitation in recommending this Pub - particularly for a Sunday lunch - as it is one of the best and best value in the area ... and we’ve tried a few!!

Just had an amazing Sunday roast at the five bells. Snowing and cold outside, inside was a blazing fire and great hospitality. Cannot praise food eough. All freshly cooked, not frozen and heated through also very reasonably priced with more than enough to fill even the biggest eater. Bar service was great, greeted cheerfully and couldn't be more helpful. Highly recommend for both food and ambience

a friendly village pub with a restaurant serving good food very relaxed and very enjoyable and reasonable prices we really enjoyed a relaxed family get together in friendly surroundings

A lovely friendly country pub and they also do a lovely Sunday Lunch. Nice atmosphere and you can either eat in the bar or the restaurant. Outside seating for summer and nice beer arden at the rear.

El ambiente es muy acogedor y los dueños son una pareja muy simpática que cocinar toda la comida. Todo es casero y es absolutamente increíble! ! ! .

John was a very accommodating chap. Enjoyed a calm and friendly atmosphere - would definitely recommend.

Fuimos a esta joya de un pub hace un par de Domingos en la oportunidad de conseguir una cena de asado. A pesar de estar ocupado el propietario era atento y servicial. Así que me alegro de que pasó por este lugar. . . Casa adecuada. cena con asado cocinado llegó caliente y un valor de tuberías por dinero. . . . . . Recomiendo encarecidamente. Gran ambiente acogedor pueblo. Sin duda, volveré a ir de nuevo. . . . Aunque probablemente sea mejor reservarlo para asegurarse de que obtiene una mesa.

Country pub run by husband and wife. well kept beer and home cooked food. Good value, worth the search/

Lovely meal with the Family, also very nice landlord and staff, definitely going back. there was also live music playing in the pub which was superb.

Bien cerca en Tydd St Giles Golf and Country Club en el Año Nuevo estábamos buscando algún sitio cerca para disfrutar de una comida familiar.
