Dining At The Bell - Piatti

Definitely the best most consistent restaurant in Sandwich we’ve lived in Sandwich for 10 years and always experienced great service, tasty food and exceptional value. The outside terrace is a wonderful area with views of the medieval town, toll bridge and river a fantastic experience. You must call at The Bell if visiting Sandwich

We have been frequenting The Bell for breakfast for a year now without any issues. Yesterday, we enjoyed a bacon sandwich which was satisfying. However, today we tried the full breakfast for 11.00 and it was a disappointment. One of us had to send back her eggs, the bacon was low-quality streaky and salty, and the beans were unpleasant. We have decided not to return.

I ordered the crab open sandwich on sourdough, and it required quite a bit of imagination to believe it was actually crab. The sourdough was so tough that even the knife had difficulty cutting through it. I have had much better sourdough elsewhere, definitely not in Sandwich. It was disappointing considering there are plenty of great eateries in town. The Bell used to be a decent option, but it seems to have gone downhill since my last visit. Visualizza piatti

My daughter and I came to Sandwich for my daughter's wedding dress fitting, and the Bell Hotel was recommended to us for lunch. Although we hadn't booked, the hotel were able to accommodate us in the light and airy dining room. A lovely menu, and it was hard to chose everything looked really good! The food was first class, as was the service. A lovely old hotel, decorated and furnished in a simple and sympathetic way. Would thoroughly recommend.

From the moment we walked into the pub entrance, the staff were lovely and welcoming. We had a table in the brassiere area under windows, which was nice as it was sunny day. Our waiter looked after us very well with good service. The food and drinks were good and reasonably priced too. I had the pie which was on special and was very nice with good vegetables and mash. Other meals were fish and chips which was large and ham eggs and chips and both enjoyed. Look forward to returning.

We were a party of 10 so pre booked our starters and mains ,except for a little hiccup with one starter the food was lovely and fresh we had 3 different fish dishes and all were cooked well and all meals arrived together , really good choices on all corses , the Staff were attentive and friendly, as we were paying the bill for everything including drinks at the table we were expecting it to be a much bigger bill , for the quality of food and service we experienced we were very pleased and will return next time we are in Sandwich well done The Bell Visualizza piatti

Welcomed at the door. Everywhere looked very clean, tidy and inviting. Husband reckoned the ale was excellent! Squid starter was very tasty. Main of pork belly was tasty also.....but my portion was very fatty and l left half after l cut it off. Appreciate it is difficult at times to notice amount but perhaps if cooked slightly longer the fat would have rendered down. Husband said his was good. Service was excellent, young man serving us was extremely nice, an asset to the restaurant. All in all a pleasant evening. And back in time to see some rugby!!...........

The hotel itself is very nice, the rooms are clean and spacious, however, the dining room food was a disaster. The dinner service was very poor, food items stated on the meals were not present on the plates and the kitchen forgot two of our table meals so the remaining food was brought out after some had already finished. The quality of the food was very poor and tasted old and the service from the staff was also very poor. We had cutlery missing, no knives for the steak were given and the plates from the starters were not cleared before the mains arrived so we did not have room for our plates to sit in front of us. The main courses took over an hour to arrive at the table. Very disappointin...

Visited the bell hotel for what we hoped would be a nice family Sunday lunch and left bitterly disappointed. There was a group of 12 of us and when ordering food we was told there wasn’t enough meat for everyone to have what they wanted, so some of us shared with partners between pork and beef (the only meats available) which wasn’t a massive problem. The problems started when they bought the food out, some plates had maximum 2 tiny roast potatoes and one plate even just had 1 tiny parsnip! The beef was dry, gravy was non existent and when we asked for more gravy they gave us the smallest amount to share between us all. Some more Vege was bought out on the side and there was 1 piece of cauli... Visualizza piatti
