    Very friendly staff, good choice of beer & drinks. Good selection of food for both meat & non-meat eaters. Perhaps could have done with a few more vegetables with the roast but food was very tasty.

    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
