The One Bell in Bexley

Great pub with a lovely beer garden the pizzas are amazing also

Although here for a sad occasion tge staff were cheerful and polite...

SUCH a hit-an-miss place. Yes, they did brilliantly re-landscaping and refurbishing during lockdown but WOW what a disappointment when it comes to food. Pizza! Yeah - delish when it's actually available. Mostly never in our experience. And when it is, all you hear from the garden booth is the owner swearing in Italian at, I presume, his boyfriend.

We had an amazing evening… big vibes … music lots of friendly faces… We sat in the garden with lovely warm heaters. We had a gorgeous authentic Italian 🇮🇹 pizza Such a fabulous place to come 👌

Lovely pub good prices. The freshly cooked pizzas are one of the best I've had.

Garden is amazing, especially when it's dry and warm. Inside is fine. Service is painfully slow and they don't have ANY cask ales on tap!!!

What can I say, please avoid this place if you want a friendly drink. I’m a 61 year old male and had an horrific drive on the M25 from work so popped in here at 6pm on a Friday afternoon. I have been drinking here for 45 years and always enjoyed a nice pint with nice company. I walked in and approached the bar only to be pulled back to the door by a doorman (bouncer) who asked me for ID..as I had just come from work I didn’t have anything with me so said I just popped in for a pint, he said that without ID I was not allowed in… so I left and had a nice pint in the Dukes head next door. Not friendly, not local and not nice… avoid please!

Great pub with a real family fill. There's a small pizza hut in the garden which brings freshly made pizza to your table.

Lovely staff and quick to serve. Pizza 🍕 delicious

Nice pint of Guinness cheap than anywhere really enjoyed

Best pub in Crayford by some distance. Great beer and great service. Great atmosphere and lovely garden/covered area with heaters!

Great place. Service was lovley beer prices better than in my local pub. Looking forward to come back summer time. Pizza very tasty. One of the best we ate. Highly recommend.

Try the pizzas out the back . Absolutely delicious ,bar staff are friendly and the manager is fantastic with the customer's Live singer most weekends and all the football on the TV. Reasonable prices for the area

Much more welcoming than it used to be

Great service from the bar staff very friendly atmosphere. Lovely and clean.

Great place, great pizza and great people!

Nice gem in Crayford. Was pleasantly surprised. Driven past this place a few times and decided to pop in last night. Nice friendly welcome from the bar staff. She was smiley and friendly which is always nice. Ordered a pizza from the shed, it was good. literally came out of the oven and on the table piping hot and full of flavours, nicely done. The pub is well looked after and felt cosy with the nice cottage look and the exposed wooden beams, then outside in the garden a well maintain and modern seating area. nice place for drinks and pizza. Will be back for sure.

Didn't eat, but the pizzeria looked good. Amazing Tardis of a garden. Friendly staff and good taste to the beers means well kept cellar.

Came here with the family to celebrate what would have been my Dad's 65th birthday. It is a really lovely place and the pizzas are lovely, which are made right there & then.

Amazing setting and garden, fantastic pizza but the rudest bar staff I’ve ever come across. The garden is a winner.

Best outdoor Sports bar with a great Pizzeria and comfortable seating for alfresco drinking and dining.

Nice pub, great garden. After months of knowing pizzas were available we finally gave them a try. After nearly an hour's wait I went down and asked what the wait time was. "15-20 minutes," came the reply from the booth with the pizza oven. "Well," I ventured, "we've been waiting nearly an hour..." This prompted a cacophony of Latin ridicule and disbelief. I walked away myself in disbelief. Some 20 minutes later my wife went downstairs herself to see if she could get her pizza or our money back. "Sorry for the delay - backlog of orders," she was told. I wouldn't have minded being told that when I went down myself. But they were so aggressive and rude when I did. Don't think we'll ever eat there again.

Nice neighbourhood pub, with nice atmosphere. Recommended with pleasure.

Great pub. Good choice of lagers & ales, friendly staff. Homemade pizza available all the time, seafood stall.

Heard about the pizzas in the garden thought me and my partner would pop in for lunch and what a good decision pizza was amazing 👏 bar staff were friendly didn't feel like I was in Crayford felt like a holiday lunch would recommend and will return

Had a really delicious pizza with my friend today. The ingredients were fresh and so tasty and as an Italian I can honestly say I felt like I was back home. Walter was so friendly I will definitely be visiting again and bringing my father who is missing a taste of home 😊

Lovely traditional pub (be aware that it is cash only). The beautiful garden provides a superb view over Bexley and is a nice suntrap. Prices pretty good, too.

Pukka garden, good for those hot summer days and plenty of big screens for sports

A very nice pub. Food is pizzas from an outdoor kitchen in a good sized garden. Very tasty

This pub is quite quaint with a built in pizza stall/shed. We came on a really sunny bank holiday, expecting it to be busy (which it was). Drinks were quite basic but the pizza we would recommend. Price was, was fair and fresh food. Can’t be a pizza whilst drinking. Wasn’t sure about the service as upon entry with my partner, I was asked for ID (quite rightly so) but she said that anyone else under the age of 25 will not be allowed in. Left me stunned as I thought it was challenge under 25. Perhaps this information can be certified at the door.

Nice bar although staff member on the day wasn't the most friendliest. Ok for a quick drink.

The blonde manager of the pub is a cancer to the pub. As a group of young adults we have been going to the one bell for over 3 years it has always been a great pub. We have always been respectful and carry ourselves well, putting through thousands of pounds each time we are there as a group - never ever had issue. Recently the new manager (blonde lady) joined and has ruined what that pub is. We are always greeted with ‘if you get to drunk you’re out, if you are too loud you’re out’, she is rude and argumentative, continues being a shadow that looks for a problem without a reason. A horrible, miserable woman who doesn’t understand how to run a business. She has no manners and doesn’t understand what the business needs. She follows ladies to the toilet to be a freak to look for issues, unfortunately can never find any. You feel like you’re constantly being watched without a reason. I would completely understand if we caused arguments or issues within the pub, however we have never ever had any issue previously. Please know that she has lost you 30 REGULAR customers who put thousands of pounds through those tills - the best thing you could do is to fire her before you lose every single person going there!

This pub had been recommended to me as a good venue and dog friendly. My review is unclear because my husband and I were turned away by security at about 9pm on a Saturday night. We'd driven over planning to have one drink and a look for a future family visit but we were refused entry by a security guard who said the pub was too busy to allow the dog (cockerpoo) in - he said we could have a drink on the benches out the front which we didn't fancy.

Great atmosphere and reasonably priced.

Nice atmosphere, pizza available in the garden.

Great Pizzas, perfect for a nice lunch out and a few pints, great garden area too. There is a good choice of beers and the service is friendly. Inside is a normal English pub but it has a great undercover outdoors area with screens and the Garden is surprisingly large and well maintained.

Came here with friends before Christmas for a few beers. The pub was quite empty which was surprising. We sat outside in the enclosed garden which was nice and cosy. We had a few beers and nice evening, beer was reasonably priced too

Great pub, good atmosphere. Garden and seating area has had a lot of money spent on it and is very comfortable, with heaters and screening up.

I popped in the pub for a couple of beers as you do And was asked for 🆔? After supplying 🆔 They also asked me to stand still while they took a photo of everyone who goes in the pub. I'm in my 50's and when the doorman asked me for 🆔 I thought he was joking. I only wanted a couple of beers. Very off putting... Will not go there again..

Was left in the pouring rain as we had a 20 year okd with us, there was a 24,27 and 29 year old accompanying her and the one bell has previously allowed this. Would of appreciated the empty pub to atleast allow us to book our cabs inside

My friends and I had a nice time. Beer was good and staff and other customers were friendly so will come back!

Ive been coming here for years , today I’ve came here with a few of my travelling friends with a gypsy surname. We have been turned away & have eye witnessed then saying no because of this reason. Absolutely awful and racist. Would never ever recommend this pub. They tried to blame it on age. But I come here most weekends & have now been turned away. disgusting.

Walter and Dennis the pizza guys at this pub are bloody amazing! Best pizza we’ve had in a long time. The on my reason we go to the pub is for the pizza!!!! If my Italian wife approves then this place for everyone is a must lol! Thanks Dennis and Walter!

Good Beer and Very well done up. Pizza oven is great too

I had to put a star rating however it doesn't even reach a one star.. we made a deposit for a small party which was not made clear that the deposit would not come of the final bill which is the normal code of practice. The service was awful and table dirty.. With the deposit being kept then I would expect a service.. plus we where put on the path way to the toilet. I would not recommend it there.

Nice pub has lots of atmosphere, excellent staff service good. Will return soon

Only came here for a couple of drinks... One word... Impressive! Would love this as my local! Security on the door is top notch, won't be getting any riff raff there that's for sure! Lovely outdoor drinking/smoking area with great atmosphere and lots of heating! Will be coming back to taste the food next time!

Clean, cosy and welcoming pub with friendly bar staff. Nice and I will be going back

A nice traditional pub with good variety of drinks.

Fantastic pizza, travels well and made with quality ingredients by chefs who know their craft.

Nice little pub, good bear garden

Great pub that usually shows the football. Beer garden has been re-done and is really good. Great pizza

What a lovely modern pub with exceptional outdoor seating area. Spotlessly clean. Only one bitter on draft so not a pub for ale aficionados. No dedicated parking but easy parking in the vicinity.

Friendly pub, nice choice of beer food looks good to

This pub is so pretty! Great people and they even have their own pizza place that make pizzas and lasagne by scratch. Would definitely recommend going.

The pizza was AMAZING! Real Italian taste. The best pizza and garlic sauce in DA1. Highly recommended!

Very comfortable and excellent service good prices as well

Very nice pub lovely staff and a great outside seating area with heating

My boyfriend took me here and the atmosphere was 10/10. The service was immaculate and did I mention JIMMY he’s a beautiful human, great persona. Would definitely go back

Went there for the pizza bar. Lovely and good atmosphere too.

insanely cool place and delicious

Popped in for one drink, busy, garden was nice,

Excellent Neapolitan Pizza out back in the garden, lovely pub, bigger than it appears from outside. The owners have clearly invested alot of money sprucing the place up and the result is very welcoming, modern and friendly. Lucky to have it, support your locals!

Lovely pub a d fantastic bar staff. Had a fab night.

Lovely pub and has good indoor and outdoor options

Very impressed with this local pub - great pizzas! 🍕

Had a fantastic evening with my husband sitting on terrace, great atmosphere and live singer. However the star of the show was the oven fired pizzas! Absolutely delicious, best we’ve had outside Italy!! Well done to the two lads who are serving them we will be back !

Un pub molto carino e accogliente dove bere e mangiare una super pizza!

Just had the pizza delivered through just eat and 10/10! Absolutely beautiful 👌🏼

I used to live next door, and remember the last refit well over ten years ago. Well, a further face-lift now places it as the "plushest" pub in Crayford. I didn't have time to check out ale or food, as my visit was short and by car, but my interest has been raised sufficiently to pay a return visit with friends next week.

Nice staff and lovely local pub

Great experience the pub is really nice and curated. The pizza authentic Napolitan pizza.

I was disappointed with my visit. The posts I can find on social media made it look like a pub we could grab dinner at. But it didn't work out. They also didn't respond on social media when asked for a menu. Still looks like a lovely pub for a drink.

Went to the One Bell for birthday drinks with a couple of friends last night and had a fabulous time. The manager bought me and my friends a birthday drink which was so kind and thoughtful of her and a really nice surprise ! What a lovely friendly lady she is, made us feel so welcome. Found all the staff lovely there and can't wait to return, fantastic pub !

Haven't been here in 20 years still a great pub

Watched CHELTENHAM in a lovely garden and service and staff excellent . Will go again definitely .

Nice pub to catch up with an old mate at last.

Really nice traditional pub, friendly staff & good atmosphere, will be back.

Lovely pub with very nice staff great outside area even on a winters night

Sat by the door as you walk in to the left.. Tv had a poor picture.. Other than that all round good pub

I visited this pub for the first time a couple of weeks ago. My first impressions, looks lovely on the outside, inside was stepping back to the 90’s. the bar staff only seemed interested in serving the men. I didn’t bother staying to watch the football as I didn’t find it warm & friendly.

Fantastic garden with decent selection of beers.....bar staff are friendly polite

Nice place, friendly staff...A++

Small inside but a lovely outdoor area with patio heater lights and veranda are to keep the rain off while still enjoying a cold drink outside

Bar staff very polite, nice beers

Rally stylish pub. Relaxing. Bit nosy outside but a great place to visit

Lovely staff and enjoyed sitting in the garden with friends

Great garden area with large tvs. Fun atmosphere

Used to love this pub - old and traditional - under the management of Mich & Hue x loved the both x fantastic people x born to host the venue x now gone x visited today- I know move with the times but no Mich - no go - rubbish - glory hunting punters - over priced and geared towards youngsters - remember your audience Mr Bullard - we maybe old but we got more money to spend - RUINED THIS TRADITIONAL PUB - not everybody wants to suck up to a nobody

Clean, service good, expensive.

6 of visited last week. We were appalled at lack of social distancing and blatent drug abuse. Looks lovely but over priced and made to feel very uncomfortable.

Nice pub. I.D asked for when going in . Nice big garden out the back. Parking is not easy as no carpark as such. Staff are very nice. Been using this pub on and off for at least forty odd years

Pub is unrecognisable from a few years ago, great beer garden. Good atmosphere and lovely staff. Only improvement would be to speed up service when it's bust as we had to wait a little bit for drinks.

I am a regular at this pub and my review of this pub is: • Debbie is a fantastic manager, very friendly • All the staff are very friendly and smiley.. apart from one member of staff, unless you are a MALE then she will not come to you and serve you. The garden looks amazing, nice touch with the heaters on the patio area. 😁 Would deffo recommend this pub, just don’t get the blond barmaid to try and serve you… if your a female that is. Keep up the good work! X

Really cool! Very good experience, massive welcome! Fantastic evening! Thank you!

Nice comfortable pub just one problem run out of morreti

Lovely pub, wicked beer garden helpfull and good staff highly recommend to anyone

Excellent service from Jaye her perfume was amazing. Impeccable service from her. Defo be back was first time here

Really turned this place around. Outdoor area is amazing and service top notch.

Place looks amazing, really nice garden has been added and will be a great place in the summer. Looking forward to its reopening
