Maybe the worst carvery I've ever eaten... veg was practically raw, Yorkshire still had the chill of the fridge...rosters tasted like thed been plucked of the back of the freezer. Only positive the meat was overcooked, but that's how I like it! I would suggest mustard to heat things up a bit!! The lady who served us however was lovely.

We were in the area & needed somewhere to do a work call. We arrived a little before 9am and despite not being open we were allowed in to set up for 9am start. Music was turned down so could do work calls, coffee brought to table & bacon rolls amazing! Staff lovely. Can highly recommend.

Lovely carvery and friendly staff, but the reason I've not given 5 stars is the staff appear very scruffy eg. Dirty clothes, one had trousers covered in paint not a good look, smarten yourselves up a bit guys!!

We started visiting here when our little one turned one for the wacky ware house. The staff have always been polite and very welcoming in the pub and the warehouse. Jess is lovely - myself and whoever comes with me to bring the kids normally have a drink or the carvery or a pub meal. carvery tastes amazing and my little boy always eats so well here! It’s nice to go somewhere where it’s always been clean whenever we’ve been even when busy - there’s a guy who works here who’s always lovely with my children think he’s the kitchen manager and always makes the time to go out of his way to make my little ones day. Thank you :)

Great first time visit. We were served by Moey who was lovely and checked on us regularly. We couldn't finish all the food so we got a doggy box to take it home for the pups. You need to go up to order carvery they don't come to you, just so people are aware. The food was pretty good but the roast potatoes were not good. Dry potatoes looked like not used any oil to cook. The meat was very good and coliflower was yum. Good sauces and gravy. Yorkshire puddings were good. Prices were fair and seemed good, probably wouldn't bother with the pigs in blankets next time. Overall great visit will repeat! Snapped a pic of the menu for anyone needing prices.

5 meals ordered, the food wasn't hot, the chicken on ny husbands mixed grill was dry and like hard rubber, my son had egg shell on his plate....the cheese meltdown burger..."hollowed out bun lid to pour oozy boozy cheese ssuce" i couldn't wait for this but unfortunately the bun lid just had a hole in the middle that had been poorly cut out and the cheese sauce tasted like a cheap powder cheese sauce mix that was lumpy. Also order a pitcher of purple rain which when it came it was a jug of cherry sours with lemonade. The gentleman behind the bar said it had 2 shots of the blue curacao in. The drink looked like pale pink squash. I asked for a second opinion with some female members who had said they ran out of the blue curacao and said she would add a shot of blue au vodka at no extra charge. Also the pool table took money out of my bank and didn't release the balls. This has to be the most disappointing £96 I have ever spent.

After having a not to good experience we hadn't been for a while but decided to go on the spare of the moment having been out for the day and was passing on way home. So glad we did. It was like walking into a different place. Atmosphere was buzzing. It was very busy but that didn't deter the staff from making it a nice experience. Food was great, we had the carvery which was all fresh. They also had an offer that kids eat free which was good when it came to paying the bill. Will definitely go back. Well done the team/staff of the gingerbread man. Thank you for the nice experience.

The carvery was a lot better than before & much improved The crispy chicken meal with hunters topping was very good The chicken n mix was a little sparse and dry but after chatting with the manager, we had a refund & a free pudding for our daughter. We were also offered a free drink but declined as we felt the management had gone over and above dealing with the one meal we were not happy with.

Happened on the pub on a very busy Sunday lunchtime. On finding we had a dog which we'd left in the car, the Manager quickly found a dog friendly table for her, together with a blanket, and later a big bowl of meat from the carvery! We ordered the large fish and chips and were warned there was a 30 minute wait which gave us time to enjoy our drinks. The meal when it came was beautiful, if large! Probably the best fish and chips we have had in a pub. The Manager kept coming over to check if everything was ok and all the staff were very friendly considering how busy it was. Definitely trying the carvery next time - it looked lovely, and we don't usually do carveries!

Big shout out to Freya and Charlotte (hope I got it right). Above and beyond what they needed to do, we were tablets 22 about 6.30pm Saturday 28th Jan 2025. We ordered food but then had to leave. They not only kept our table until we returned 30 min later, but madd sure the meal was as good as it would have been if we had it when ordered. Top class thank you and sorry chef for messing you about on a busy evening. I did mention to Kim on the night. Ken

Review on behalf of the cruising couple! New to the town, I think they’ve found their new local! Friday night fish and chips for her, gammon and chips for him, two clear plates, the wine is good, the Guinness 0% welcome and the bonus blood orange G&T an absolute treat! They are both very happy and stuffed! (We also like the carvery!)

We booked a table for 8 people for last Saturday lunchtime. Two nembers of staff were chatting at the desk we said we had booked we were told it's the table round the corner snd carried on their conversation. The table and stools were so high I had difficulty getting onto the seat. My Granddaughter was below the tablebtop when seated!! The table was right by the men's very smelly toilet. We were told we couldn't change tables. No one came for our drinks or food order. After waiting for 20 minutes with no one serving us we all walked out and drove to a venue in Newport where we had 1st class attention and food. We have been to the Bell several times and had good service and good food but we won't be going again. What happened to the friendly attentive staff who used to work at the Bell???
