The Old Bell Pub in Wycombe

Exceptionally friendly reception when we arrived, which after a long journey was very welcome. Room was clean with TV, coffee making facilities and very hot water. Our party of eight then had a.very pleasant meal but as is common these days the cost of drinks over-shadowed the evening. Would most certainly book again.

Amazing pub / eatery. Fantastic service and delicious food. The full English breakfast is an utter delight. My all time #1 for breakfast, brunch or Sunday lunch.

What a great little place to stay, a traditional local pub that provides for locals & visitors alike! Friendly staff, couldn’t appreciate more the warm welcome & helpfulness. Food good & a really good vibe.

Love the team at The Old Bell! Such a friendly family, they always make you feel so welcome. The food is all delicious but you have to try their Sunday roasts, delicious, great portions and I’m yet to try a more delicious giant yorkshire pudding. Thanks for always showing us a great time!

Amazing service, friendly people. Food is amazing. I didn’t stay in the hotel. Just have lunch.

Amazing fish and chips today, it was so big could have shared. However the chips were cooked to perfection and the batter on the fish was lovely and crunchy.

First time back after refurbishment looks great friendly welcome food great 👍 would go again.

We came here today with our family & friends for our son’s birthday dinner celebration. The staff and management went above and beyond to make it an amazing experience. The food was superb and the chef even made exclusively a favourite dish which was excellent and then presented a delicious birthday pudding treat at the end. I highly recommend the The Old Bell Country Inn at Wooburn Green for it’s amazing food and outstanding service all round

Great food and excellent service. Well worth the visit. Dog friendly in every way.

One of my favourite places to eat whenever I come to visit from Australia - the ribs are spectacular! The owners are so welcoming and Daniela remembers me and my guests when I drop in, which is rare these days. See you there ! 😎

Great lunch at this very friendly pub restaurant. More than happy to recommend.

Hi am leaving this massage as I bought My wife and step mum for Sunday lunch and was made very welcome and staff were amazing keep up good work

The service was lovely with warm and smiley faces to greet us through the door. The food was delicious and filling and price was very reasonable. Only downside is not enough parking but there is a free carpark down the road. Over all very good

Breakfast was very nice. Great service.

Disappointed to be honest! All came out of a bag ! a lot of money for poor food

A group of twelve of us dropped in for coffee before setting off on a country walk. The owner was so welcoming and friendly, it was lovely. The coffee was good too, freshly made and hot. A great start to a morning’s walking.

Upgraded to a two star review as i cannot justify anymore than that. The inn was supposed to be open as we had checked times, but when we arrived, it was shut. we checked again on a different day but also shut, I will update if we ever find it open. Not a fake review as the owner states, I just hadn't had time to write the review before they posted their comment.

We had a lovely meal at The Old Bell Country Inn on Easter Sunday. Lovely Sunday menu. Lots of choices. Service was very good too. Daniela was extremely helpful and accommodating when I was trying to book for my family of 14. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely pub. I'll definitely be going there again.

Warm and friendly neighbourhood pub. Doesn’t look much from the outside but cosy pleasant atmosphere inside. Garden at rear with protection from the rain. Not the smartest pub, not the most up-to date (thank goodness) but if you want a traditional pub atmosphere, this is the place.

Fabulous little gem of a pub , great owners, nothing too much , friendly atmosphere, well worth a visit

We had a business lunch... food was excellent. Don't know about the hotel part.

very nice meal reasonably priced car parking an issue though

Always cosy and friendly. Good quality food.

Fantastic quality food, including the best chips I've probably ever tasted (bar none!). Easily better than the Hinds Head in Bray.

Wow, what a lovely pub! Came here last night for the first time in years. The welcome was so lovely and the staff were all so friendly! The carpark gets quite full quickly, so you may need to park down the side street. There is a great choice on the menu with truly something for all tastes, especially vegetarians. Our food came quickly and was absolutely delicious, really fresh and well cooked. The portion sizes are excellent, and you wouldn't want more. The desserts are all homemade and a must if you have room! The pub has a lovely atmosphere, with a nice mix of some people just having a drink and others eating. When we were there on Friday night, they had someone playing a piano, which really topped the evening off. I'm definitely going to be back!

Amazing staff , the food is impeccable !!! We are coming back 👌⭐️✨️

Popped in for a morning breakfast, very polite staff, very well presented food and top notch. Very nice atmosphere. Went for the full English and it was perfect, what I call a proper full English, you really get your moneys worth. Certainly will visit again. I don’t leave reviews often and only leave them if deserved. Highly recommend a visit.

Stayed here for a night on business. Lovely little pub. The place incredibly well looked after and the staff were really friendly. You can tell that they put a lot of love into the place. Dinner a breakfast were good too.

I never wrote a review and I have never been to this place! I am not sure why or how a review in my name has appeared here, but I have amended it now.

1 night here, £120. Food was amazing, really nice beer too. Staff are so helpful and can't do enough for you. Car park isn't massive, no height restrictions. Queit area. However, £120 for a room for 1 night!!! This is what you get! I was in room 2 at the top of the stairs, could hear everyone going up and down, and voices next door loud and clear. This has to be one of the noisiest rooms I've ever stayed in, I stay away every week. I'd eat here again every day, but never stay here again.

Lovely old pub with a large car park. Great seating area outside, but we sat indoors. Food was excellent and huge portions. They also serve my favourite cocktail 🍸. The couple who run the pub were very friendly and welcoming. Also, it's a dog friendly pub.

Great country pub, rustic in a charming way, lovely food, attentive staff. Meet up with some family on their way back to Heathrow, 6 adults and 2 grown up teens, all very happy with the food and drink.

Very very disappointed! We hired this pub for a family event. Food was good. But the staff were not ! We were told to keep the door shut “ I’m paying the heating bills “. The pub was soo hot. We were ushered to a private room at 1700 as a quiz was due to start at 8pm !! The pub had 3 people in it. The room we were put in was NOT set up for a function and we could not all fit in it ! Loads of stored tables, a couple of chairs , no bar. It was not a function room. It was terrible and unnecessary! 1900 pub still VERY EMPTY. Definitely will not be returning.

I came with my whole family for a birthday meal, Very friendly service, very attentive staff with lovely manners and served lovely home cooked food, cocktails and all set in a traditional pub manner

What an absolute gem! Great location , 5 mins off of the M40 j3 and so much nicer than the service stations. Good size car park, lovely fresh food and a great hostess. We had halloumi fries and black & blue burger, cooked to perfection - so thank you chef! Will definitely visit again!

Very helpful staff and lovely food , will go again Has a lovely garden out the back which feels like your on holiday

Cracking christmas lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed our time on christmas day. Thanks danielle and family x

Excellent service with excellent food … the chicken wings were superb! The staff were very friendly and efficient….. so glad we found this pub … just what we were looking for.

Myself and 5 friends (not for the first time) visited the Old Bell last night and it was just so lovely. I don't ever write reviews but the staff was friendly, happy and nothing was too much trouble. Whilst all my friends went for burgers or pizza I wanted to be a little healthier and got the ceaser salad thinking it would be quite boring but i have to say it was AMAZING and i fully enjoyed it where i could easily have ordered another one. Definately recommend and would definately go back again... VERY SOON!!

My in-laws live in High Wycombe and for years we've enjoyed going for lunches at The Old Bell when we visit them. On this occasion it was Mother-in-Law's birthday. Booked but didn't realise it has been taken over from the previous owners. Greeting was friendly, starters came super quick and were tasty (Mackerel Pate and Chicken Wings). So far so good, 4 roasts and a Caesar Salad for mains. Worryingly, mains came out literally seconds after the starter plates were taken away. What a horrible sight (think of School Dinners); everything already served on the plate (no helping yourself at the table) awash with watery brown liquid (NOT a rich gravy), the yellow mush turned out to be Cauliflower Cheese, beef look alright but turned out chewy, roast potatoes weren't - they were the shape of a frisbee and looked like they'd been fried on one side (and were now waterlogged sitting in the puddle of brown liquid) and the huge Yorkshire was burnt to a crisp (dark brown/black). The waitress came past asking if everything was OK, before I could answer she walked off. As she passed again, I explained I was not happy because of the above. She informed who I assumed was the owner/manager who asked if I wanted anything else, I refused (if that was the standard of food, no thanks and I had lost my appetite). Nobody finished the roasts but salad was finished. Desserts were 2 x ice cream (can't get that wrong) and Apple Pie and Custard which came upside down resulting in soggy pastry. On receiving the bill (over £150) I noted no concession at all for the appalling meals, I did raise this with a waitress who just walked past. I decided not to make a scene and upset the family so paid and left. Clearly the owner/manager who we walked past on leaving didn't care, she had our money by then, as no apologies were offered. Spoilt a Birthday treat and we will never ever return to The Old Bell. A real shame as we had been looking forward to returning to an old favourite.

Did not stay in hotel, so this review is for pub lunch only. Warm welcome, full table service, good selection for food and wine. Food was delicious (steak salad, chicken burger, beer battered Haloumi) served piping hot, well presented and generous portions. Will certainly be back!

Never really visited the Bell before the Covid. However my wife and myself have used it since reopening. The food has become amazing as has the service. Had a roast today which was great quality and just the right size Would highly recommend this eating house as it amazing the change the new owners have made

Not a brilliantly sunny August day but the garden is very well laid out and provides plenty of cover, The staff are lovely and the service was quick.

Visited on Saturday lunchtime and were really impressed with the friendly welcome. Well written menu, good range of choices and sensible prices We both had burgers which were delicious. We'll be back.

Really good food not overpriced, excellent service friendly and inviting. Lovely people who work Very hard to ensure you have a lovely meal nothing is too much trouble.

Went for a post lockdown meal and what an amazing meal it was ! The outside looks/is beautiful! Well done Old bell Team ! We will be back soon ! Highly recommend! Sarah, Phil and Luca xx

Like many, our Christmas plans changed late in the day. We decided on takeaway lunch from The Old Bell. Super well organised, and delicious meals. We will be returning to enjoy the regular menu

We decided to take a stroll down on Sunday to try one of their roasts. Wow! the choice was incredible, big portions and very well cooked. one of the best roasts I've had in a long time. Will definitely return and sample some of the other items on the extensive menu.

Had a shared fish platter in the garden and whiled away the hours. Good service and setting. Will return soon.

We went to the old bell because my daughter used to work with the manager. I had onion soup which was very nice and steak well done, and it was, and sweet potatoes. My daughter and her boyfriend asked for a fry up that was not on the menu and got it

We visited on a Saturday morning recently and all four of us had the full English breakfast accompanied by several hot coffees. It was delicious. We could not fault the food or the service. The new landlady is lovely. We wish you well in the new venture!

We had a lovely breakfast with my parents here for their anniversary. We all had the cooked breakfast and all of course ordered different varieties...but the hosts were very accommodating. The dogs were welcomed with a biscuit each too. Thank you.

Fabulous food, drinks and service. Would not hesitate to recommend this place to everyone I know. Family run which makes it feel like a home away from home. Would not pay attention to the picky reviews that state sloping floors etc. It is a Grade II Listed pub and has all the characteristics of one!

food tasted good but they were not busy and it took a while to come. Paying at the end, there was only 1 person behind the bar and was doing coffees and drinks for others. disappeared into the kitchen for 10 mins. It was quiet, felt like even longer. thank heaven I was not in a hurry to leave.

Friendly staff but terrible room . Small pokey and run down. Floor was sloping so it felt like your head was below your legs when sleeping. Food at The Old Bell is ok but in terms of the room there’s a difference between quaint and downright uncomfortable and the owners haven’t figured that out yet. Don’t stay here.

We fancied a stay-away and found the Old Bell on line without any personal recommendations, and we were very happy we did! Authentic and old, we stayed in a lovely room that was almost like an annex with our own private entrance. On a cold and windy winters night, the roaring log fire in the bar complimented the friendly atmosphere and a delicious home-cooked meal. The standard was excellent, as was the freshly prepared breakfast.I can recommend the Old Bell to anyone who appreciates good food, an unfussy environment and old fashioned pub atmosphere.

Great place lovey food and service only been there twice but it’s a great place to go for a family meal but have never stayed in there inn so don’t know that thats like

Absolutely loved our dinner here - we booked based on previous reviews and they were spot on!! A very warm welcome, prompt service and great food. Enjoyed every minute of our visit.

Was here for a birthday party, they served roast beef in yorkshire pudding, sausage rolls etc. Quality of the food was excellent, so much so that we want to go back for a Sunday roast!

Great live music at the old bell last night! Food as always was excellent. The calamari was lovely. Lovely homemade desserts too. Looking forward to the comeback of the bread and butter pudding next winter!!

Came here with family (6 of us) for an evening meal. Car park was large at the rear, the pub has not changed much in 40+ years I have been going here, clearly they have painted & improved as time has evolved. The staff were polite & friendly & plenty of food options available. Typical starter price was £6.95 with mains at £18.95, cant say about the desserts as I did not have one. Therefore,, the average bill was around £65 / couple. I had the Devilled kidneys of the specials menu and they wee great, much better than my mum use to make in the 70's. For my main, I had venison steak, it was without doubt, one of the nicest I have had to date.Would I go back again = yes if I started to earn money again.

Eat here once a month at Quiz night , food is excellent. Sometimes have Sunday lunch which is also very good . Highly recommended

Have drunk here a few times with family. Nice beers and good cider! Excellent pub. Recently ate here with family and all very good, especially the fish and chips! Best not to turn up towards the end of service as, being a pub restaurant, it may well have run out of a few of the things on the menu (we were actually quite pleased about that as it does show that everythings pretty fresh and cooked to order!). Service all done with courtesy and humour. Nice staff. A great local pub that welcomes strangers!

Ordered a cajun burger which came out raw in the middle. Took back, this was put in the microwave and brought out again in under two minutes. I returned again as this is not a satisfactory way to deal with raw chicken. I was told "what do you want, another whole new burger?" By a young blonde lady working behind the bar. I said no, my money back please. The money for the burger was reluctantly returned. I realised the money for the chips hadn't been refunded which i then requested. I was sneered at and told "there was nothing wrong with the chips". The chips were taken away with the meal, and were soggy after being microwaved! Unbelievable.

Staff here are great! They took a booking for table of ten at the last minute, on a Saturday evening. Had a family celebration and weather meant we had to change plans. It was a busy night for them, with live music in the bar, but from start to finish we were well looked- after. Staff attentive even when busy, no delays in getting drinks or food. Our meal was lovely, all the family agreed, we will come again! I’d highly recommend a visit!

A lovely historic pub with ample parking, ample interior space, lovely beer garden and friendly staff. The Sunday roast was delicious, adequately portioned and reasonably priced. An enjoyable lunchtime experience.

Really friendly staff with a lovely beer garden. Food is generous portions with a lot to offer. Really friendly atmosphere would recommend

stopped for dinner to avoid M25 traffic. chose a pork escalope with mushroom sauce, chips and salad. cask ale was good, escalope was very good as were thin-cut chips and small salad. a very tasty dinner, just what I needed. Friendly welcome, good pub

Stayed overnight here for work and was overall very happy with the stay. Staff were warm, friendly and attentive. I ordered a crispy beef salad that arrived quickly and was delicious, also enjoyed a couple of rather good pints of IPA over the evening. Twin room was basic but clean, excellent shower with toiletries and nice towels on hand. It being an old building there was a bit of noise transfer from other rooms and the corridor, but not too intrusive and did not disturb the stay.

Ich ist ein Muss in The old bell Pub zu gehen wenn ich in der Nähe bin. Zum erstmal habe ich ein Frühstück eingenommen direkt neben dem offenen Kamin im alten Teil des Pubs. Nichts schöneres an einem kalten morgen. Das Frühstück war sehr gut.

good value lunch plenty of choice, portions generous, service very good, nice pub, will try in summer and eat outside.

We started coming about a year ago. Can't believe we didn't discover it sooner as it's on our doorstep. Sunday roasts are excellent and generous portions! As a vegetarian I am usually disappointed but not here, utterly delicious. Staff are warm welcoming and friendly and landlady Helen is lovely. Have made friends with lovely landdoggy Rosey who always comes and gives me a cuddle. This is a proper village pub. I would highly recommend it x

We had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Old Bell. I took my parents and their dog and we were all made to feel most welcome at The Old Bell. The food was excellent with generous portions of lovely meat and a good selection of well cooked vegetables. The service was excellent with friendly, helpful staff. We will definitely go again.

A last minute booking and what a gem we have found. Lovely, clean rooms and a warm welcome. Food was superb, great beer and we only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended.

We had our wedding party here on a beautiful hot sunny evening, we held it at the Old Bell because this is our local pub and we have followed Helen from previous pubs as she is one of a kind and knows how to throw a party - she always goes the extra mile for all of her customers and has a heart of gold. It was very hot that evening and the team at the Bell did wonders to move our party into the garden, all of guest said how wonderful the food, service and entertainment was, everyone had great time … everyone must come and try this place. Helen thank you again , you and your team are nothing less than amazing … once we come back from our honeymoon our family will come down for one of Ian’s perfect roast dinners x

Stayed at this lovely Inn last night following an amazing wedding. Congratulations Ricky and Charlotte Gittings. This place is fantastic and the staff are amazing - they went out of their way to make sure all the details were perfect! Highly recommended!!!

We had Sunday lunch here for Father's Day. Everything was excellent. Lovely "proper" pub atmosphere. Polite and caring staff. The choice of vegetarian meals were excellent. We all picked different CLASSIC CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD, PAN FRIED GNOCCHI and OPEN MUSHROOM LASAGNE TOPPED WITH PARMESAN SHAVINGS....

We recently stayed at this lovely hotel and we were really pleased with our accommodation, food and service that we received. The room was very comfortable and cleaned to a high standard. Will definitely go back

Un Salto a almorzar con mi marido. Tenía una ensalada crujiente de ternera. Tiras de carne jugosa delicioso gruesas. Señora sirve era muy alegre y amable.

Nos alojamos aquí hace 18 meses, poco después de los propietarios actuales había tomado de más y nos quedamos impresionados. Este fin de semana volvimos y nos sentimos devastados. En el pub. Un estado sucio y muy poco atractiva. A pesar de los mejores esfuerzos de los propietarios tenemos que decir que este lugar necesita una maldita buena limpieza y renovación. No volveremos. No había ducha en nuestra habitación con dosel, el ruido debajo de nuestro dormitorio continuó hasta alrededor de 2. 30 y las instalaciones no son como se describe.

We recently went to the Old Bell Pub for a special Mother's day Dinner. I booked very last minute, and this pub was one of the only ones that responded to me with availability for Mother's day, although I had to be quick! (very popular place.) The pub is not a large pub, but has a nice eating area down a step, which has around 7-8 tables, which makes for a nice atmosphere. The food was GREAT! Huge portions of good quality food, we all went for the roast dinners, and they did not disappoint. And for pudding, the chef had decided to knock up a chocolate and Bailey's cheesecake, not on the menu, which was delicious. The staff were extremely friendly, and we will be visiting again the next time my parents come down to visit. Thankyou to the team for a lovely Mother's day!

For some where to stay on business, pleasantly surprised, good rooms , good free wifi , nice food, simple but traditional menu, good real ale from local brewery and friendly staff.... ideal when on be road .

I visit here often and usually recommend it as somewhere to go when I have family over for Sunday roasts as they are usually very nice especially the lamb! However I went a few weeks ago and felt a little left in the corner, we ordered our food and it came out in an acceptable amount of time, ate our food and waited for the bill we was there a total of about 3 hours and see the waitress once, we asked for things that never came and had to go to the bar to ordered deserts and then pay for our bill as we was just waiting around. I think the staff was new to waitressing as a whole as I didn't recognise them so hopefully when I re-visit it will be a little better other than that food A*

Working away in High Wycombe and staying at the Premier Inn I wanted to go somewhere a little different to eat.Having looked on TripAdvisor I decided to try The Old Bell as it was rated 20th in High Wycombe and had good reviews.I'm so glad I made the choice. The pub was very quiet so the service was attentive but good.I had 2 courses (jalapeño poppers to start and the Haggis special as it is Burns night)Both courses were really good both in flavour and quantity. I was especially glad I chose the Haggis as it was really excellent.I also had a nice pint of local ale and all for £22.I can understand why this place has a good reputation and good reviews and i will visit again.

What a fantastic little country pub. The staff couldn't be more friendly, they all have a smile on there face especially Helen the landlady who welcome everybody with a smile. The food is absolutely mouth watering. It's just a little gem of a pub, one of those pubs that you come across and just didn't expect. The rooms are very very comfortable and the bed i didn't want to get out of it was that comfortable. The breakfast is cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend this little gem to anyone visiting the area.

Stayed with my sister ...won a voucher for overnight stay and dinner ..Wonderful staff,happy,polite,chatty and helpful..Rooms were great,lovely and warm and really comfy beds..Dinner was delicious and tasty,all homemade...great service!.Breakfast was yummy...

Contacted the proprietor at short notice to book Sunday Lunch. They were fully booked but we were offered a table for two in the bar which we gratefully accepted. When we arrived we managed to get a parking space in the public house car-park.We were welcomed by the bar staff and a young man said that we could sit wherever we liked after informing him that we had booked for lunch. I chose a table by the window and was pleased to obtain such a favourable spot which seated four persons.We settled down with a drink but then were asked to move to another table in the corner which seated three persons so had to get used to it. We ordered our meal and didn't have to wait too long to be served with it. My husband ordered roast beef with the usual trimmings and I had Camembert cheese with Cranberries followed by a nutty ice-cream dessert which were both delicious. The roast beef also went down very well indeed.The atmosphere in the pub was very relaxed as they allowed dogs into the bar. We didn't mind as we have a dog of our own but some people might have felt uneasy about It. We found it quite amusing as one dog sat for quite a while looking out of the window at the traffic going bye.My husband met an old friend who came to join us at our table for a chat but unsurprisingly didn't stay long as he was facing quite closely to a blank wall in the corner when he wasn't turning to face us.The lady that appeared to run the public house and restaurant was very friendly and helpful when we asked about their accommodation. The decor was not great as there was chipped paint-work quite noticeable but we didn't particularly mind this as we had had a very satisfying experience on the whole.

Went for a meal on a Friday night with my partner. We'd heard they do some good pub grub but I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and the vibe was relaxed. We'll 100% be going back soon. 100% recommend the Old Bell in Wooburn Green.

I wrote a few weeks before our visit to enquire about access with a wheelchair.Helen the landlady was quick to reply and explained that there were two steps but they could give assistance and it would not be a problem.On arrival we were able to park conveniently in a fairly spacious car park.The interior seems a little dated but comfortable.I had a pint of real ale which was well kept.The food was very good indeed. My wife had the fish pie which she said had plenty of fish (some fish pies can be more potato than fish!) and I had the lamb which was tender and tasty.I had my usual chocolate brownie for sweet and my wife had creme brûlée which she said was lovely.The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic evening. Been to a few of the themed nights. Always such good fun. Brilliant atmosphere friendly fun staff. Such a great local pub.

This is a regular for us & we often have many an evening or Sunday afternoon with are friends & our dogs , after a walk in the park . Helen and her team are always friendly can't do enough for you , and will always give my dog Nancy a glass of ice cubes as her tibble , food is also exceptional. Theme nights are always good . This is a fantastic pub all round

This pub is very local to where we live but had never tried the food, we are glad now that we have, I had the pan fried cod from the specials menu which was a generous portion and beautifully cooked, this pub has a nice atmosphere the staff are attentive and very friendly, everything you would expect from a local business. We had an early dinner at 5:30 on a Saturday but by the time we left the tables were filling. I will be recommending this pub to friends and family

Stayed at the Old Bell Pub. Their rooms are absolute okay, compared with the price versus facilities. I stayed at Room 1, it was a big room, but way to noisy from the road, they should do something about it, when the traffic started in the morning around 6 am it was like sleeping at the highway. The food at the pub is good, high quality, and all the people working there is so cool and really taking good care of their guests. I would return, but definitely not at Room 1 :-)

Don't just drive past go in for a very pleasant surprise. Great menu with tasty food. Sitting in the garden in good weather would be another attraction. Very friendly staff and quick service.

Don't be put off by the lack of stylish decor in this old coaching inn. What you will find here is pure old school pub decor with friendly service to match. We popped in today for a quinck lunch and were pleasantly surprised to find some unusual offerings on the menu. All dishes were reasonably priced, generously sized and delicious.

While staying at the b&b part of the old bell, we decided on our last night to try out the food.Service was quick as well as done with a smile and staff were knowledgeable about drinks they had to offer.Food was served quickly once ordered and the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend trying out their daily specials.

I've frequented the Old Bell for almost 15 years. It's changed hands a few times. I can quite honestly say that now it is better than ever. This is because:The food is delicious - my whole family agrees as we went for a family meal together. I particularly recommend the Cajun chicken.The atmosphere is very welcoming. As a new Mum, I feel very comfortable taking my young daughter and I happily breast feed without feeling uncomfortable.They are so accommodating. Whether it be an intimate meal, a birthday party or a get together of a group of friends with our babies. My husband is thrilled that they serve the local, highly rated Rebellion beer. He's always going on about it being the perfect temperature.Lovely surroundings with a park and woodland for walks near by.All in all, my favourite traditional pub.

Popped in for dinner with a colleague while staying nearby on business. Excellent food, large portions. Pub has little character but is very clean and well managed.The bartender was very friendly and informative.

We chose our first visit to The Old Bell both because it was mid-way between where we live and where my daughter lives and we were impressed by the reviews. We were not disappointed..5 ratings for everything. We will be back.
