Customer Review Summary
Generous portions come up repeatedly, with one diner noting starters so large they struggled to finish the mains, and another praising the piri chicken and reasonable prices. Reviewers describe the pub as cosy, with friendly, helpful staff and quick service. Several stress booking ahead, since it gets busy, though one walk-in was squeezed in. A lone complaint mentions a noisy outdoor air-conditioning unit.

“Was impressed with the food, very quick and friendly service, only downside was the air-conditioning unit outside, although only on a few mins”

“Came here without booking, the man behind the bar was really helpful and managed to squeeze us in, so I would recommend booking. Lovely cosy pub, wide range of choices for food. Food was absolutely delicious, will definitely be returning!”

“It pays to book to sit & eat at the Bell & Bear. It's very popular, especially at busy times during the day. The meals were excellent, good quality ingredients & presentation. Prices are average to most pubs these days. There is a large play area at the back of the pub.”
- Lucy Davis
“One of my favourite pubs with the friendliest staff (especially Tyler) Who is a great laugh! 😁 The food is always spot on, good portions sides and so reasonably priced! I love the piri chicken 🐔 This has a warm cozy feel but amazing in the summer with their beer garden overlooking a great view. 🏙️”

“Visited the Bell & Bear tonight. Had a fantastic meal. Starters were tasty but on the large side. Struggled to finish the tasty mains after the large starters. All meals were reasonably priced Staffed were all wonderful and friendly. Can see why you have to book way in advance to eat here. Highly recommend and can't wait to return.”
