Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5 | Value for money: 5/5 The Bell pub is a true local (possibly because it is the only pub) in the quaint, idyllic village of Avening, which dates back to 1080, with its friendly residents, narrow lanes and classic Gloucestershire stoned houses. The Little Indian within The Bell is well worth the journey if youโre staying in a nearby town. The food is exceptional and the value for money is unparalleled. Of course we couldnโt have an Indian without starting our meal with some papadums (how they spell it) which came with four glorious condiments - we even asked for more atcha as it was so scrumptious. I ordered the Garlic Prawn Mow as a starter. It was so good that I ordered another Naan bread just to soak up the remaining sauce. Our mains were the Lamb Pasanda with rice and the Lamb Garlic Tikka Delight with coriander and garlic Naan. Both of these curries were tomato based and mild. I personally felt the rice paired better with the mains. Next time I visit an Indian I will definitely order their pasanda as I was blown away by the rich, creamy and vibrancy of the flavours! It was one of the best curries I have ever had and all the food was very affordable. They offer takeaways too which is handy. Ahmed, our server, and the rest of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The other patrons also seemed quite willing to have a natter with you.
