The Five Bells At Cople in Bedford

It's a good village pub adding to the community, with good beer, and a shop.

We had a really great night with various locals in the pub tonight wonferful atmosphere. Very memorable thank you.

Went there today. They had a make over/newly painted. Dig friendly and the staff is friendly and helpful

Great breakfast, fantastic staff, and a great pub. Enjoyed a fabulous breakfast this morning can wait to go back again to try some more off the menu

Cosy, small and a very old pub. Good beer that is less pricey than Kings Arms. Cycle and horse friendly (check first)!

Could be such a great little pub if only The bar tender would crack a smile. Probably the rudest bar person I have ever met.

This pub could be so lovely if it wasn’t for the awful woman who runs it. She is incredibly rude and shouts across the room at customers. I would rather go to the Social club than ever have to be made to feel so unwelcome again. Improve the staff and you could have a great little business going there

Lovely local pub & very warm friendly welcome, well run with smiling friendly bar staff.

Very friendly. Thank you for making me feel welcome. Lovely people. Lovely pub. Lovely village.

Lovely local pub. Friendly staff and very welcoming.

We did not eat there, just a drink but will be back

What a find, very friendly staff and great food, chief is very accommodating and was more than happy to change around items on the menu to suit our wishes, he even said after we had given him so new ideas, five stars all the way

Very friendly staff. Lovely beer garden behind the pub We didn't eat. We'll do it next time

Not open although it advertises it would be open from 12pm...drove 15 miles to find a blackboard up saying only open at 4pm. Would love to visit.

Lovely little pub, we only had time for a quick drink , but the food looked and smelt amazing. We will definitely be returning to sample the menu.

Fantastic food, service and value.

Great roast good value great staff good old village pub Don't forget to ask for extra peas😂😂

Excellent Sunday lunch good well cooked and presented food , Sevice and atmosphere.All at a reasonable price.

Absolutely love this place. Friendly and welcoming, just how a local pub should be.

I went and performed some live music for these guys last month, it went down a storm and they had some great suggestions for me to do next time - audience interaction is key! It has become something of a hot spot for live music in Bedfordshire, and thank God for it because it appears to be exactly what the Village of Cople has asked for. The pub itself is old school by design, and that adds all the more charm to it. The bar is stocked for all occasions, and features guest ales. Other reviewers have praised the food so I need to check that out soon as well. See you again soon guys! 🎸

Fantastisk bar, with friendly staff & wonderful atmostphere...will definately visit again...

Wonderful Sunday Lunch, very good value for money. Wonderful staff tooo.

Good food, good beer, good atmosphere

Very nice Sunday roast. Lovely barmaid. And the owners were lovely too. Would definitely recommend

We arrived just before the kitchen closed but they very kindly seated us for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for the young blond lady working there - I didn't catch her name but she was awesome and dealt with some fussy people on our table very well. I'd have slapped some of us but that's why I don't work face to face with people 🤣 thank you for a great Sunday lunch!

Lovely bit of old england!! More please!!

Unfortunately latest visit the kitchen was closed so as we went for lunch never mind .

Fantastic little pub and brilliant value for money home cooked food

Lovely PEOPLE! DELICIOUS food! Very friendly Ambiance!

Good friendly pub nice lady behind the bar

Lovely village pub, friendly staff snd tasty pub grub!

My local village pub, a busy place.

Lovely little country pub with friendly people.

Lovely friendly people. The landlady will be a hit I'm sure.

Good staff and food good too. Liked it there. But it could do with a revamp

Lovely pub but could do so much more with the garden area

Disappointed the menu on the website is from the previous landlords, small menu and no atmosphere we were the only people in there

Can here for Sunday dinner a few times. Very tasty & reasonably priced

Great service, lovely beer garden. What a great pub to have as a local.

Nice and relaxed in the pub garden. Plenty of space for kids and dogs. Good food and beer!

Nice outdoor garden in a quaint village. Food basic but okay.

Great meal, great company. Welsh guy that served us was a Top Bloke

Amazing food, great drinks selection and all round lovely people. They also have a beautiful outdoor area with seating and brilliant live music! If you’re passing through or live nearby, it’s a cosy, welcoming environment.

Incredibly good, last day before lockdown, all the health and safety measures were taken and delivered by staff as it should be, locals as always, really friendly and chatting to us, staff polite and friendly, you really can't ask for more than this when you going to a small local village pub what is well refurbished nice and cosy. Thanks for made us feel welcome in your place. It's not easy when English is not your first language, but people make you feel like you're at home. Guys waiting to see you soon, and thanks for everything.

Lovely re furb. nice little country pub, grear service. 👍

Friendly bar staff, well priced and chilled atmosphere.

A delightful pub, very friendly and accommodating staff

Saw a farmer pick up a load of woman in his trailer and drive off like it was a party bus 10/10

The pub is great with old character style beams inside, open fire and delicious food!

Lots of nice touches. Great selection of food. Very pleasant service.

We came here today (Saturday) for a lunch. Our first visit to the pub, but it looks to be under new management. Family run, with very attentive service. The food was all lovely (lunch features a lighter menu), and the prices were very fair. This pub has a cosy, independent vibe which we were fond of, and we'll definitely be back in the near future.

It used to be great paella place but now it’s a joke, even the chips were badly cooked...

I went today with friends and we found that the chef has changed without notice. It’s our usual place to eat paellas and although they were advertised still in the website and in one of the boards, they did not offer anymore. We end up eating overpriced tapas. Almost 6 pounds each for small portions and undercooked fried potatoes. We wanted to finish the meal on a high note by taking the almond cake with a shot of sherry wine. We had it before, it was around 5 pounds and to our surprise it did not contain almonds or sherry wine. Instead a really bad sponge cake and a shot of a really bad liqueur thinking that the customers are ignorant enough not to see the difference. I was thinking of following the owners and try the new restaurant but I really feel insulted.

Really good and cheap for a Sunday lunch.

Went for mothers day carvery, within 5 minutes of starting to eat something made me feel very unwell such that I couldn't finish my meal, will never go back

Awesome pub great food Agatha is lovley cheers guys

beer good! food good! sevice good! the food is a good portion and I MEAN good..👍

Good food/menu. Friendly service /staff.

Good food and friendly service.

Excellent food, great service, cozy atmosphere. We're always looking forward to go back ❤. You must go.

Just been in with friends excellent food the Cople burger was the best burger we’ve ever had and the sweet potato chips brilliant all the rest of the food five star thank you

Lovely old pub (tall people will need to duck) with good food

Generally not impressed with the food... My salad was a few limp leaves, the squid on my prawn and squid skewer, obviously frozen, almost raw and tough. Had to ask for a finger bowl - why? Debris on the table hadn't been cleaned off before we were seated, and the desert menu took 15 minutes to arrive. And squirty cream on my partner's plate! Oh dear, not good enough.

Went today. This is a dog friendly pub. The staff were friendly. The food was really good, I can only speak for myself, I had a chorizo & beef burger with sweet potato fries. It was excellent! & I'm not just saying that. Thought the funny face in the dips in the burger was a funny touch, made us laugh. We all really enjoyed our meals, sat in the main bar area, which has a lovely character to it. First visit, but will recommend & return. Thank you.

Lovely staff and a great environment

I lovely place to have your Sunday dinner and have a chat

Very good food and friendly service

All the spanish classics, as you where there. The paella 🥘 was perfectly cooked and all the tapas were handmade. The place looks lovely and the service was nice and friendly

Country pub with delicious Spanish and traditional English food.

Absolutely amazing, food, service just everything.

lovely lunch pleasant atmosphere

Lovely people, lovely food. Great portions too..We love and can highly recommend it especially the chicken skewer!

Beer OK, food OK. Nothing special. Better than some in the area!

A good old fashioned friendly pub with a wide selection of beers providing a healthy and varied menu.

Excellent food. Wide choice of menu. Friendly personal service. Excellent value for money. Massive portions. Loved it.

Excellent food, couldn't fault it :-)

Enjoyed our meal here, none of us went very adventurous but the burgers were very nice and I'd definitely eat here again. The menu is varied and if it's all cooked as good as the burgers I'm confident it would be a nice meal. Also nice atmosphere in the pub/restaurant and great friendly people serving up the food and drinks

Good food, good beer, good service. I've never had food look as good as this when it's been served to me. It was tasty too!

Had lovely soup even if it was tomato my least favourite

Lovely place, three stars for the food.

Great village pub, great serving authentic Spanish food. Owners David and Aggie give it a homely feel and are very welcoming. Worth a visit.

We had a very pleasant time at The five bells, very kind, smiley, helpful staff, cosy place. We would have been happier to have a separate vegan menu as there is a nice selection of vegan food they have. The vegan tomato soup, paella and doughnut dessert was delicious, served on a warm plate.One of the best vegan food! Thank you!

Nice little pub. Cosy and chilled.

Fantastic food. Very accommodating for gluten and lactose free dinners.

Very good Sunday roasts, paella very good. Very pleasant hosts Agatha and David. Have been there quite a few times.

Good selection of meals both English and Spanish and gluten free and vegetarian options too

Lovely food at a good price and the staff were very friendly.

Very good indeed . The Spanish food is very good indeed . Sharp service , very good menu with plenty that is clearly marked gluten free . Very nice owners .

Ok . nothing special . big portions , ok if your fond of Spanish food

Another delicious Sunday roast always plenty of choice of vegetables and a good desert menu.

Agatha and david are Fantastic hosts super home cooked food.

Fantastic tapas and rustic charm ..loved it and so friendly to ....busy planning future visits xx

Great food and service as usual many thanks

This place was a really good find, a Spanish restaurant in Bedford! Affordable and varied, they offer tapas and main meals.

Such a lovely pub really enjoyed our visit 😊

Great home cooked food lovely service at a very reasonable price. Will definitely return

An absolute must....good food....bit pricy

Authentic Spanish food at good price. Lovely service!

The Five Bells packs a little surprise with... Spanish food! We tried many tapas, all very good quality and surprisingly low prices. As a spaniard myself, I cab say that the bravas were real, BCN bravas, which I have not found in the UK before. Also, on Wednesdays is a tapa-only day, with a wider selection of them.

Superb. Paella to die for. Super friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Real Spanish food deep in the English sh countryside. Couldn't fault it. Full English menu too
