    Great food, with fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked, excellent attentive service. Went there with my wife and 3 and 6 year old for Sunday Lunch. We loved it. And what a great location!

    We visited The Five Bells 2 nights in a row on our short holiday as 2 adults and 2 children. The food was outstanding on both occasions but unfortunately the service a bit slow. Our second visit was particularly slow and when the food eventually arrived my daughter’s meal was completely wrong so they took it back and took almost half an hour to return with the correct meal. The staff did recognise this and deducted it from our bill. The pub itself is gorgeous and full of character and I wouldn’t let the service put us off going again as the food was simply divine.

    A very nice old English pub with open fires and equally warm welcome. The menu is high end pub food classics and very reasonable. An ideal venue for any special or casual occasion.
