"We visited The Bell today for lunch. We knew ahead of time that they weren’t serving roasts today, as we called to enquire before arriving. Once settled at our table we overheard someone else asking why this was the case, to which the response was ‘lack of demand’. This was a shame as we’d have been interested to try one. We were still happy to go and choose from the usual menu. I opted for the Cumberland Sausages, Mash, Peas and Gravy and my fiancé the steak, Ale and Mushroom Pie which was served with chips and peas. My food was good, the sausages were succulent and tasty. The veg, you could tell, was either a microwave steam pouch, or from a larger frozen bag, but it was still very tasty. My partner’s said the pie filling was delicious, although it was lacking in lumps of steak and the pie was really a pie dish containing the filling and a puff pastry topper added. It’s completely personal preference with pies, but we would have preferred it to have been encased in pastry, rather than just topped. For the price, we felt the pie was a little on the expensive side for what was served- however it was still tasty. The pub was sadly lacking atmosphere with only two other diners in the lower area where we sat and a larger party up on the top deck towards the rear garden. There was only one member of front of house staff present whilst we were there, until we ordered our final drink when a colleague briefly appeared to assist with the drink order. I suspect, in fairness, coronavirus restrictions only recently having been eased contributed to the lack of ambience and the low level of trade today. Perhaps people are still a little reluctant to eat out, or maybe they had opted to eat at a later point in the day. It would be nice to see the demand for a Sunday Roast increase, and we would certainly visit to try one. All in all a nice visit."
