The Five Bells in St Edmundsbury

Came for a family gathering and found the venue very convenient - and we stayed overnight after the event so this was even better. We were able to bring in food for the event and there was a good space available for meeting, chatting with drinks and sitting to eat the sandwiches and cakes. Staff were very friendly and the drinks were well kept and served by friendly staff. A good evening. The rooms are small but well-appointed and although no breakfast is served they frovide an inclusive breakfast pack with cereal, juice and snacks. Rooms seem newly built as an annex and have good facilities - double bed in our room was firm enoough - large TV and good shower in the en-suite.

Always visit, if I'm in the area. Cask ale is of good quality 4/5. The practice of invited catering vans arriving in the carpark, to provide food of varying cuisines, which may then be eaten in the pub is excellent. The staff provide cutlery, plates and condiments. What could be better than eating freshly cooked fish and chips whilst downing a pint or four?

This is absolutely the best, loveliest pub for miles around. The family that runs it are great. The beers are great, even the views across the green are great. Dog friendly, close by is a circular walk. The only downside is no kitchen for big food, but evenings see invited food vendors. Go there!!!

We went for a two night stay in Cavendish. Thanks to all the staff and locals that made our stay a lovely memory. Room was clean, Wi-Fi, bed was comfy and a breakfast basket each morning. The view was overlooking a picturesque village including churchyard. Pretty apt as it was near Halloween so creepy vibes if you have the imagination. In all a wonderful pub with helpful, happy staff.

Lovely looking pub but we stayed in one of the adjoining 3 rooms. The room was clean, en suite but fairly basic which we didn’t have a problem with. The issue was the church opposite which rang its bells EVERY 15 MINUTES ALL NIGHT. We didn’t sleep and would never have booked the room had we known. Beautiful village but DO NOT STAY THERE!

We spent a wonderful weekend at the Five Bells. Situated in such a pretty village. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The host made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble! They do food in the pub and the lovely food board we ordered was delicious. We were lulled to sleep by the wonderful bells in the nearby church. A lovely relaxing weekend. Will certainly be back!,

We stayed a night at The Five Bells before a sponsored walk. Although the pub does not offer meals, the landlady sorted out a really good breakfast for us, getting up specially on a Sunday morning to knock on our doors with the breakfast at 7am. She did not accept any payment as we were walking for charity. It was a real act of kindness and I would highly recommend staying over. The rooms were well appointed, with a comfy bed, and excellent en suite. The bells of the church ring regularly but once I was asleep they didn’t wake me.

Nice drinkers pub. Serves interesting looking cold platters. Really lovely and friendly landlady who wants to make this a real community pub. Pizza on the Green turn up every few weeks and the Fish & Chip van each week in the evenings. Both are very good. Beer good and friendly staff. Lovely location. The drinkers pub of choice in Cavendish and The George is the restaurant pub of choice.

I visited this absolutely delightful pub and stayed in the adjoining accommodation. The pub has such a welcoming atmosphere and such a beautiful English setting on the green. The rooms were so comfortable and clean, perfect for a mini break in this part of the country. Lesley who welcomed us and looked after us could not do enough, going above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Can not recommend this pub/ accommodation enough.

Great service, lovely atmosphere, amazing drinks. 10/10 recommend:) my favourite place to go with friends for a drink

Just had a pint of IPA sat overlooking the village green. Excellent pint, excellent position and excellent service in an outside covid restricted visit. I would recommend. No food was available but we bought delicious food from Tea on the Green and were able to eat it at the pub. If you are in the area it is definitely worth a visit.

Christmas drinks with the family. Cosy village pub very quiet the evening we went. Dog friendly which is the main thing!

My wife and I stayed overnight in the pretty Suffolk village Cavendish. We stayed in the delightful and recently refurbished cabin accommodation and enjoyed the beautiful view of the village green and adjacent church which is well worth a visit. The pub also has been totally refurbished and we enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and company. Every Sunday there is a meat raffle which raises funds for the charity “Cavendish in Bloom”. Under the new ownership there will shortly be food available which will make for an overall good experience. This is must for anyone visiting the Suffolk villages which again are so attractive.

We popped into The Five Bells today. Great setting as pub looks over the wonderful Cavendish Green. Very welcoming and delicious beers. Henry in charge of the bar offered great service and even offered to fill a water bottle for a Labrador! Thank you!

been here twice , once with friends in the evening and once for a quick lunch time drink . We found the pub to be warm and friendly . Great beer and a lovely garden overlooking the village , type of place you can forget time and let the world pass by .

This is a straightforward, unpretentious, old style village pub. We visited for lunch after a country walk. We were greeted enthusiastically and chose a beer from a small range of real ales. The landlady made us a sandwich; we selected from her verbal menu of a few simple and basic choices – there was no sign of a printed bar snacks menu. But we did eat and the sandwich was quite acceptable. There was little other custom. We visited on a cold miserable day. The pub is extremely well situated overlooking the village green and there are benches outside. In the warmer months this might be a nice attractive place to take refreshment. Overall our experience was acceptable but straightforward ant not exceptional.

Brilliant little pub, very quaint and a great location, love the pub quizzes that Tia organises...well worth the visit

We had a lovely lunch at this stunning pub in cavendish. The manager Tia was fantastic and made sure we had a brilliant time, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was very friendly. Overall we had a great time and will definitely be coming back!

We had walked from Long Melford to Cavendish and were going visit one of the other pups in the village but another large walking group had beaten us to it and with only a short lunch stop we did not want to be waiting to long to be served, We were directed to the Five Bells by a local and what a little gem it is we were warmly welcomed by the bar staff the real ale on offer Nethergate Azza Hatter and a Green King were both in good condition as time was short we did not try the food but what other customers were eating looked good and the portions generous, we sat outside overlooking the beautiful village green which the pub sits at the top of and wished we had more time to enjoy the view and the beer,Its one to put on my list for a return visit.The Barstool Hound

Save yourselves!!!!!! What looks like from the outside as a picturesque village pub in beautiful surroundings, serves the most vile inedible over priced slop!!! Pork and cider pie, 2x2 inch size pieces of pig skin including hair in a grey tasteless wallpaper paste served with veg that had been boiled into a green porridge, with a portion of chips!!! Kids had a, what I can only guess was a tin of the cheapest bollocknaise served over boiled spaghetti, even they refused to eat it!!! NO WONDER THE GREAT BRITISH VILLAGE PUB IS DIEING, WHEN LANDLORDS CANT GIVE A F##K. Another pub destined for redevelopment !!! CHEF SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND SACKED!!!

Called at lunchtime for a drink and snack.Sat outside, in the sun, with a lovely view. Quiet, with no traffic noise.Glass of lemonade for wife was so full that I had to sip it on the bar before I was able to pick it up.Barman forgot to give me change for ordered food until I reminded him.Ordered two ham and pork pie ploughmans at £7.95 each. Happy to pay that for a decent plate.We were served quickly. French bread on both plates was stale and inedible (wrapped it up and fed to ducks on way home). Ham was breaded and looked and tasted like supermarket plastic packet type. The rest was very ordinary.Very disappointed.

No puedo comentar sobre la comida (tenía buena pinta) ya que sólo paramos para bebidas, pero lo que un lugar magnífico para tomar un refresco, sentarse y admirar las impresionantes vistas a través del verde. Era tan tranquilo y una delicia estar allí un domingo por la mañana.

We enjoyed a drink overlooking the picturesque Cavendish main street. The archtecture in the village is wonderful and the houses lovingly painted in soft tones. A real treat for the eye

Me durante 2 días en las cinco campanas, el pub es muy agradable, el personal era también muy buena.

Cada vez que pase a través de camino a parientes, nos detendremos aquí como la vista es encantadora. Cada vez que pare (2 o 3 veces al año) hay un director diferente! ! ! La comida estaba tratando de ser algo que no es. ....

booked on a whim during the xmas period. Great room clean and tidy and above all warm! Our advantage here was that the place is dog friendly. Could not sample the menu which was of no consequence as we knew in advance the chef was allowed an xmas holiday! Very friendly bar manager and landlord as where the regular crowd. We had a breakfast for champions and promised to return when the mist lifted and we could take advantage of the garden, the local beer and the view! Thanks Carl and team.

Thatched, single bar pub with fine views across village green. A local brewery supplies some of the real ales on offer.

Revisited on the way through to see friends before Xmas.... wish we had not bothered!The great friendly atmosphere that was there has disappeared. The staff obviously dont enjoy working there. Shame was such a great pub!

We visited this pub last week after a gap of several months and were not disapointed. the food was as good as ever if not better! The position of the pub is perfect ,the atmosphere great and the landlord very friendly. An ideal place to stop when visiting Suffolk

Ordered t-bone when advised it was fresh and mixed grill,t-bone was not fresh as very chewy,grey in color and difficult to cut, no succulence whatsoever,beer cloudy and cider with added bits in.Tables and cutlery dirty.

Just past 12 on a Sunday I ordered half a raspberry and apple cider. It was cloudy and tasted funny but I'm no cider expert. As I walked outside I saw a man examining his pint of bitter into the sun. Which was obviously cloudy. We agreed and he took it back and it was replaced. I said my cider cloudy as well. 'Nothing wrong with the cider was the reply.'We went for our walk and came back and ordered three portions of chips. I said I fancied a small ham sandwich. 'Sorry, sir' only very large portions available he said, making a large plate sing with his hands. 'You can't do a smaller portion?'. 'No, sorry'Half an hour later, still waiting for our chips, a small portion of ham sandwiches came past on a plate, to people who had ordered after us. 'Would that be possible for us?' I asked. 'Sorry, sir, we've run out of bread.' That was very funny though-lucky I hadn't ordered cheese.I popped back in at 40 minutes after our order to see what had happened to the chips. I also noticed the label on the cider pump had been turned round, so presumably that was off as well. I was told the reason the chips were delayed was the the 'ticker system' had broken. It was only us with our three portions of chips and the ham sandwich lady who had ordered food at the time, so I am not sure what system was needed.Anyway, the chips arrived at 45 minutes and the chap was very apologetic. The pub is in such a lovely position on the green in Cavendish and it was a beautiful, sunny October day. I just think a little more prep was needed on that day.

After a recent visit to Clare, we decided to pop into The Five Bells in Cavendish. The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious and very well presented. My husband had Surf and Turf, the steak was perfectly cooked and the coated prawns were delicious. After our meal, we sat outside looking over the green. A lovely little pub, with a nice beer garden and children friendly as there is a park just next door. Looking forward to out next visit.

First time visiting Cavindish and we came across this lovely pub,what a gem.Four of us sat outside looking out over the green.We had a lovely meal,food was excellent service very good.Will be back if in this area again.Thank you for a lovely meal and service.

Nice warm summer day, so lunch in the garden for the family. All the food was well cooked and nicely presented, and no complaints on the size of the portions either.Pub overlooks the village green, and is next to the church, so ideally located right in the heart of this attractive Suffolk village. Friendly and efficient service

Popped in here as a party of 6 adults + 3 kids on a Saturday afternoon in June 2015. We were eagerly greeted and taken to our table. Could not fault the pub, the staff or the food - a pleasant surprise and would highly recommend.

We were visiting the nearby church and decided to get something to eat at the Five Bells overlooking the village green. Service was fine (bar girl was kind and helpful) and the helpings were very generous. Overall, we were impressed. Decor looked a little tired, but it was a delight to eat here.

lovely looking venue, but not what I expected in side, food not bad.. but the whole place could do with a lift

My wife and I first went to this establishment soon after the management took over and were fairly pleased with the whole experience and pleased the new people were making a go of things, so much so that we went again some months later for a Sunday roast. Our mistake !!! The beef was from a packet you buy at a super market the roast potatoes and yorkshire were from an "Aunt Bessie" and things went downhill from then on. So you take your choice, a nice meal on the one hand and a rubbish meal on the other. probably what hurt as much as anything was the fact that I was charged the full price for rubbish. Undoubtedly my fault I should have refused to pay but I was still shaking from the shock of the meal. I have never been there since and probably will never go again.

Only stopped for a drink but it definitely lacks any atmosphere.it has a lovely position and maybe in the summer with the sun shining it may look differently

We tried the Five Bells again after hearing that there was a new menue .I had the Poulet et Lardon salad and it was amazing !!! beautifully presented .Good luck Ben and Hannah . I would however agree with the previous comment that it would be better to have the wine served from a full size bottle although I do understand the reasons for serving it from individual small bottle.Its best to visit the Pub during the week as the weekends can be spoiled by a very drunk owner and a very loud television!

Operated by young friendly staff for the younger generation but the quality of food left much to be desired. A glass of wine comes from a miniature bottle (as on a plane) and no fresh orange.Sunday lunch was abysmal, the roast beef being " well " done or nothing,we sent back the first dry over cooked offering only to get a fresher cut of the same. The whitebait was mostly batter and laid on a bed of lettuce,great if you enjoy warm lett lettuce. It's location is good, very scenic but I fear for its future, most locals don't want a TV blaring out whilst eating or tiny tots running between tables. The location alone deserves better.

We were heading for Long Melford from Clare for lunch when my wife spotted the pub on the green. I quickly turned the car around and headed back to take a look. We decided to give it a try as the young lady was very pleasant. We both had the Suffolk Black Sausage and Mash which we both agreed was the best we had tasted. We were certainly glad we stopped to try it as we could have ended up missing out on a great meal.It is worth taking an hours drive just to go for lunch.

The position of the Pub is second to none but the welcome is cold and very unwelcoming,apart from the young lady behind the Bar ,who was happy to serve us with a smile !The menue was promising but the reality of the food ,when it appeared did not live up to its discription.The managers seem to change with the seasons and the prescence of the owner sitting in the corner overseeing everything and everyone is not conducive to a relaxed atmosphere.I really hope the new managers make a go of it but if history is anything to go by they will soon tire of the regime.

This should be the best venue in Cavendish and one of the best in Suffolk, given its idyllic positioning on the lovely village green, however it is cold, damp and sole less place.It doesn't help that the owner seems to like treating it as a private drinking club and gets through more landlords/ladies than a cheap soap opera.The new Landlord is obviously trying to turn things around and deserves some credit, and hopefully will get some support from the owner. We had heard that he was trying to improve things so a group of six of us decided to go back after many years absence.There were two couple is the dining area and about 6 or 7 people drinking outside and this seemed to be enough to provide the young lad behind the bar with enough challenge to provoke a rabbit/headlights scenario.The menu looked really quite promising until we found out that three of the six starters were sold out, (to whom??? That invisible man and his date must have been really eating for Britain!). Once he had written these down the lad wandered off, so we had to call him back to take our mains orders.There were three types of steak on the menu, a t-bone special and then a Sirloin and a Rump. My wife was first to order and asked for a t-bone at which point the lad announced that that was the last steak, (I forgot to mention, that by this stage he was leaning on the table next to me in order to write down our orders.) At no stage did he ever contemplate taking a drinks order, so we just trotted to the bar when needed, although again we got both undercharged and overcharged for a round of drinks!.A few other dinner lowlights included :Five soggy mushrooms on a bowl of green leaves, (garlic mushrooms evidently).The smallest portion of fish and chips I have ever had at a pub.Flavourless soup.Very slow service.When we had finished our mains we asked for dessert menus and the lad said no because the kitchen was now shut, (it was nearly 9.30 after all and we were the only customers left), so we had to ask the landlord of we could have desserts, which he did indulge us with.The Bells needs a complete make over inside and if the new landlord is to succeed in a turn around, (which I genuinely hope he does), he also needs some staff who can at least aspire to burger king standards of customer service if he is to have any hope.I stress that he has put some interesting things on the menu and does genuinely seems to be trying, so I do wish him the very best of luck and success. Cavendish is a lovely village and we have a nice restaurant/gastro pub in The George and it would be so be nice to have a decent relaxed family local, as The Bull is such and inhospitable place under its current management.Good luck, but you need some staff and investment to make this work.

A lovely pub in a great setting. Then grass outside is perfect for the kids to run around and with the lovely garden to sit in its great for adults too. The food is top notch With dishes worthy of a high end resturant. I will be returning very soon!

On holiday in the area however I thought I would pop in for a evening meal. Very disappointed I had beef pie which was sliced roast beef raw carrots roast potatoes and capped with pastry. They say its a new freash menu sorry left overs. Nice ale.

We came across this by chance as we were driving this way. Nice location looking on to the Green. New landlord, of only four weeks. Very freindly and welcoming. Menu was very exciting and not what you would expect in a pub restaurant. It has a french feel to it and the landlord is the chef and has worked in a number of upmarket restaurants.. We had a first class excellent meal, food was amazing, good value and the new landlord/ couple were friendly and attentive.

Had the Sunday lunch, both beef and lamb were ordered and it was very tasty and great value. Service friendly and fast tooGorgeous village location with outside seating. Well worth a visit

Walked up to door to hear t.v blaring Aerosmith at full blast. Nearly walked away but decided to sit in the garden overlooking lovely green. 3 bar staff, but only youngish girl serving. Found menu on bar as the two guys totally ignored me. Went back to order, still 3 staff but as girl was serving no acknowledgement that I was there. Finally the older guy said ' yew alwight' he took my order for food which was entered on the screen by the girl, the guy then told me that's £14.85, without asking me about drinks. The effort was too much for him as he went out for a smoke break. The girl did all the work and was friendly and efficient. Waited for order to arrive without much hope that it would be edible, but when it arrived it was served on slate and looked really good, which it was.£ 4.95 is a very good price for chicken baguette with salad and frites (yes frites) Our party of three all had the chicken baguette and agreed that the food was surprisingly good.Please, please turn the t.v. down, and acknowledge customers. Food and pub garden very nice.

This was the second time we have eaten here. After our first experience was not good we decided to return. It was great ! a lovely home cooked sunday roast, thank you. Lets hope the standard remains good now that the managers have left.

my family and i booked lunch at this restaurant, and what a lovely meal we had, bearing in mind there were ten of us for fathers day, it was delightful and all the meals at the same time which was so nice to see as we had four children with us, the roasts were spot on, just like a home cooked dinner. well done to everyone, it was a relaxing experience for us mums, bearing in mind it was fathers day, thank you very much..definitely going again.tomorrow in fact..ms v church.

Stopped here for a Saturday Lunch, staff where very polite and helpful. We ordered steak and didn’t have to wait long. The meals were nicely cooked and really tasty. The prices were also reasonable.

My husband and I decided to take a drive to enjoy the summers evening . We got to the green at Cavendish and the Five Bells stood majestically and welcoming tempting us in. The beer was good and the food excellent . Having read the last review I think they must have been to a different Five Bells! And it was honest food none of this gastro none sense. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We will definitely go back and we wish then the best of luck.Regards the couple from Bardfield saling

My partner and I walked from Glemsford for Sunday lunch here. Bar staff very friendly but that is were the good experience ended. We chose one beef and one lamb and when they turned up both looked exactly the same. Meat was rather grey looking and tasted of nothing. One sad little Yorkshire and roast potatoes, a generous bowl of vegetables but again tasted of nothing. Pud - I chose the waffle with ice cream. I think the waffle may have been microwaved as by the time I got half way through it was solid. My partner had the chocolate mousse which was ok.wont bother to go back.

Apprehensive about the new management we gave the local pub a try and were pleasantly surprised that there were three Real Ales on the pumps aside from the usual lagers and cider.There was Doom Bar,and Tribute from the West country as well as Shepherd Neame's famous Spitfire from Kent, which were in superb quaffing condition, and I was allowed a 'taster' of all three and they were all perfectly delicious!Steak and fish pie were among the lunchtime specials on the blackboard menu and my rib-eye was juicy, tasty and cooked to perfection. My wife had the fish pie and gave it top marks too.We look forward to returning with our in-laws for an extended evening meal very soon.Full marks to Rob and Carey for turning the place around, and may their success long continue.

We had a buffet for my children's christening. The service was great went above and beyond to help make the day special. The food was fantastic plenty of food and variety.great day had by all. Thank you.

We booked into the Five Bells just for a one night stay. Although we arrived rather late we received a very friendly welcome and were shown to our accommodation. Our room was clean and modern,and a very comfortable bed.The next morning we were given the best full English breakfast that we have ever had. The food was well cooked and very tasty nothing was left on the plate.They also have a selection of great cakes , which we bought to have when we arrived home. Definitely would recommend and will definitely be going back.Sheila & Brian Yorkshire

We very much enjoyed our visit to The Five Bells in Cavendish while on our holiday to Suffolk, a very friendly warm welcome, even our Springer was made welcome, the food was freshly cooked , it was hot and we ate every last morsel, we look forward to going back in September when we are booked up for a return visit to Suffolk.Only wish the weather had been warm enough to sit in the beautiful garden and soak up the picturesque chocolate box surroundingsMuriel & BarryFalmouth Cornwall

I was disappointed with my meal of roast beef. The plates and food were very cold and the roast beef looked and tasted more like braised beef.The menue was too long ,making it impossible for everything to be freshOn the plus side the waitress was very good and the manageress accepted our complaint and offered free deserts,lets hope things improve as the new managers get to grips with the Pub

After being recommended and reading the reviews of the pub I was very disappointed on their Sunday roast dinner. Four of us ordered which included the lamb, the beef and the half of chicken - The dinners arrived on dessert plates not dinner plates and were not warmed, 3 small roast potatoes, 2 hard cold Yorkshire puddings and 3 slices of meat, a bowl of veg between 4 with 1 serving spoon which was certainly under portioned and individual gravy boats graced our table. The lamb was tasteless with the mint sauce being a cheap sour brand, the beef tasted like the lamb - bland - the half a chicken resembled 2 chicken legs fused together with no breast meat and was dry and hard- being the first diners of the day it was not what we expected for £8.95 a head. On the plus side the young waitress was bright and cheerful and the manageress dealt with our complaint admirably.

What could have ended a great Easter bank holiday than a meal in the garden at the Five Bells , great friendly service , proper home cooked food , can't wait to sample some more

My wife and I have just come back from a very pleasant weekend spent at the Five Bells.We wanted to have a quiet break in the countryside with a place to sleep eat and drink, and found the Five Bells by chance on this website.Cavendish itself is a quaint little village full of cottages and thatched roofs and Church The landlords have only just changed hands the weekend before we arrived so it was only natural that the was one or two small teething problems, these were only of a minor nature and were easily sorted.The pub itself is picturesque outside and inside is spacious clean with a good bar area and tables for those who like to sit in a restaurant area, the menu was varied and offered plenty of choice. There was a TV with Sports channels available and a dartboard.A good selection of beers, spirits, cider and shots are available.We ate both in the evening and breakfast and the food was of a very good quality, the breakfast was hearty and a perfect set up for the day.The rooms were made up of a renovated barn (3 in total) and are built of a modern nature but withholding the original beams from the old barn. The bed was comfortable and bathroom facilities of a spacious nature, and a television on the wall.On a slightly negative point (and this is no fault of the pub) The Five Bells assumingly got its name from the Church opposite and those five bells ring every 15 minutes day and night, to be fair you cant hear them from the pub but they are noticeable during the night from the rooms. We had a super weekend and really enjoyed ourselves and bearing in mind this was Rob and Carey's first week, they had settled in well and I am sure they will make this place work. I would recommend to stop here weather you just want to go for drink or have a meal and stay like we did.

we have eaten here before but not for a while and decided to come for Sunday Lunch as we had heard so many good reports about it and we were not dissapointed. Sunday Lunch had the usual roasts available as well as items from the main menu too.The Chilli Squid starter was lovely - a real nice "kick".I had the homemade burger with melted stilton, and I have to say it was one of the best burgers I have ever eaten in a restaurant, and it's so nice to see homemade burgers on a menu.The other family members had Roasts, which were also lovely, each with a small gravy boat and lots of fresh vegetables, including cauliflower cheese in serving dishes.Superb value too - We will be back!

On Sunday 21st February my friend and I had a magnificent lunch. Plate and food were hot and gravy was served innovatively in an individual small gravy boat. Very polite young girl served us making us feel at home. Meal was also great value. I wish this new establishment all the success it deserves. Dave B from Clacton on Sea.

Accommodation was excellent with newly built rooms in a barn conversion next to the main pub. Had a great dinner in the five bells and really good atmosphere in the bar with very friendly locals. Breakfast was excellent and the picturesque village of Cavendish made for a nice weekend break away from London. Will definitely return.

We had heard that new managers were in at this very pretty, well appointed pub/restaurant at one of the most beautiful settings in Suffolk.When we arrived we were greeted warmly in what was a lovely warm environment.We asked to see the menu and it offered everything from Light Bites and Starters, lots of Traditional favorites and a variety of Snacks and Sandwiches and Baguettes for the not so hungry.We were seated in the lovely restaurant area and had a fine pint of cask ale and gin and tonic (with lime too!!!!) while we waited for our food to arrive.When it arrived we were wowed!I had ordered the homemade Steak and Ale Pie which was absolutely delicious, whilst my wife had the homemade Beef Lasagne.........equally delicious!The portions were generous and very good value.They offer Sunday Lunch at £7-95 for main course, 10-95 for 2 courses and only £12-95 for 3 courses......we have already booked to take friends next Sunday.They have Christmas Fayre on offer throughout December at £21-95 for 4 courses and they have come up with a fantastic (at least we think so) for Boxing Day Brunch...... a 3 course offering,including Full english Breakfast and a glass of bubbles at only 12-95. Again we have booked for 5 of us.We have stumbled on a little gem where the service and welcome are first rate and the homecooked food is excellent!!

We stumbled upon this lovely country pub overlooking a beautiful village green whilst travelling through Cavendish - itself a lovely village. We were tempted by the menu and had a great lunchtime meal at a very reasonable price. We were told there was new management and we think they are doing a great job - well done. Apparently they will be starting bed and breakfast soon having recently reverbished the barn for accommodation. Will definitely make a trip back to stay overnight.

Lovely cosy pub on The Green in Cavendish. Great value Sunday dinner cooked to perfection with welcoming hosts and brilliant service. Will definitely be returning regularly!

I have been to this Pub many times and grew up in the area. The pub has recently had a new management team in and we went for Lunch this Sunday for 12 of us. The food was amazing, freshly cooked and presented very well. It was nice to see there were other tables being served food and another large party of ten was also in but the service was great, fast, efficient and very friendly.I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a nice meal, in great surroundings with friendly and welcoming staff - Well Done Five Bells!
