    We went with friends for a Sunday roast. Excellent roast with everything (including, which is rare, roast potatoes) was on point. Service was unfortunately a bit remiss. Had to ask a few times for any request which was a shame because the rest of the experience was one of the best.

    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.
