    Our stay at The Five Bells was outstanding value after a days Xmas shopping. This pub is so cozy and comfortable, an ideal place to relax. The food was lovely (we had dinner and breakfast) - the best lemon tart ever! I’d recommend the pub to anyone. Lovely touches in the room such as complimentary port and fudge

    We have dined at the 5 Bells many times and as always we had a wonderful time. Service was friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. I am always very impressed with the vegan options which change regularly and are given the same attention to detail as the non vegan options. We will definitely be back.
