"Tucked away down a side road you might wonder how this pub keeps going. The reason it does is that it is known for being a great traditional local pub. Nothing flashy or pretentious, but good plain food at sensible prices, decent beer, friendly staff. It feels welcoming as soon as you walk in and an evening there is time well spent."

"Haven’t been here in years and won’t go again! When we arrived the pub was quiet apart from a large group of people who were obviously going to be having a meal. We ordered our food, and the starters came fairly quickly. When our plates were being cleared the girl said “there is going to be a delay on your mains because we’ve got a large party in”. Not good. Why weren’t we told before we ordered? We might have chosen to go elsewhere. When the mains did eventually arrive I had a pile of chips on my plate which were revolting. They were soggy and like a pile of mush. Totally inedible. Around 8 pieces of scampi and a very boring salad. All our chips were the same. When our plates were collected I told the girl that the chips were inedible. She did offer to get me some more but by that time I had eaten the scampi and salad. I asked her to tell the chef that the chips were very poor. We asked for the bill and waited ages for it. When it came we asked for the card machine but that wasn’t forthcoming either so I eventually had to go to the bar to pay. The girl behind the bar asked whether everything had been ok with the meal and I said not. She didn’t know what to say. Nobody at any point offered to reduce the bill or make things right in any other way. Very poor. Won’t be back."

"Don’t eat here if you need gluten free. Our party of 9 had lunch last Sunday, had to pre order before arrival due to our large party. They were advised we had an 1 adult and 1 child gluten free. They couldn’t advise what could be offered gluten free other than chicken Caesar salad. They advised for the child that it lmight be better to bring our own!! On arrival they brought us the menus, seemingly unaware that we had pre ordered. We were told the fish pie, ordered by the gf adult couldn’t be gluten free, he was offered a burger on a gf bun only to be told 2 mins later there were no buns only bread. In the end he had a fillet steak. The child had a chicken dinner. We did ask if the children’s meals could be brought straight away but in the event they only arrived after our starters at 12.50 which was 50 mins after our 12 noon arrival. The food we had was very nice but the overall organisation and provision of gluten free options- despite having forward notice of this- was very poor. If you don’t want to cater for this dietary need that’s fine but you should make that clear when a booking is taken, particularly when you are asking people to pre order. I did contact the Old Bell directly via their website to make them aware of the above points but to date have had no reply."

"This review is about one visit, as a vegan for breakfast. I will definitely return to try other menu options and then write a fuller review. The vegan breakfast was served on a side plate which for bigger appetites might be disappointing. small but However they’ve used really good quality, more expensive ingredients than are commonly used. I couldn’t quite finish it and you could always ask for an extra sausage or more toast. I think they could have made it look bigger by using a dinner plate. The only thing I would add is that several components of the meal had added flavours. So the mushrooms were herby, the excellent beans were delicious with a strong tomato and onion base that wouldn’t be out of place with pasta. The guacamole was good, a little thin and slightly watery texture wise. Just small details in the prep and personal preference. The service was excellent. The toilets clean. The coffee yes very well made and the oat milk was reasonable. Again, personal preference, the vegan latte could benefit from a barista oat milk. It just gives a more neutral background and richer creamier feel. The menu is extensive and they offer a kids choice, always gets an extra tick from me. This place is somewhere to feel comfortable as a group, family, cosy couple or solo. I enjoyed being here. The environment and styling is really perfect. Great atmosphere, a level of privacy between the tables and music just at the right audible setting to create a vibe and more privacy. Would I return? Yes. Could there be improvements? Yes. But I think that’s often vegan life. A lot of vegan food tries to either replicate the meat versions or can frequently overcompensate by being too flavoured instead of standing by its own value like the guac some fresh slices might have worked better. And I would add that next time I would mention some preferences on ordering and I’m sure the staff would accommodate. For example , a double shot of coffee."
