    Have dined here a few times and always had what i thought was a fair priced great meal but this time the prices seem to have increased. We had a roast dinner which consisted of 2 thin slices of meat and only 2 roast potatoes with limited gravy only on the meat - for £28 I think this was pretty expensive. Not sure we will be rushing back again.

    The food at THe Six Bells was delicious. We chose fish and chips - the fish was lightly battered, with very good chips - steak tender and tasty, cooked exactly as we like it, and a great chicken hamburger. The crumble dessert was lovely - four of us shared one with ice cream and one with custard - but wished we had ordered one each! Service was charming and unobtrusive and altogether the meal was great value.

    We were a table of eight and ate in the conservatory for Sunday lunch. Very nice roasts - enormous Yorkshire puds! Good service and reasonably priced. Would come again.

    No welcome. No heating in dining area, although we had booked, fire was grudgingly lit after a while. Table was near door so had to sit with our coats on. There seemed plenty of staff, but ages before we were given menus and, although we'd obviously chosen, we had to call staff to take order. 2 roast beefs were good, with no complaint. One vegetarian meal was sitting in gravy so was soggy. If we'd known, we could have asked for gravy to be served separately. Peas, cabbage and leeks served, all mixed together in one dish. OK if we like them all, but one person didn't. Gents toilet seemed fairly new with no complaint. Ladies' toilet smelt unpleasant. Finally, didn't notice service charge was added to bill, so inadvertently paid it.

    Good and service excellent although conservatory was quite cold due to the freezing weather. The menu was quite a contrast to the lunchtime menu which was very very disappointing. Our meal that evening though was very enjoyable.
