  “Disappointing visit today, previous visits were much better. Ordered from the sandwich menu & children's menu. Sandwiches were returned to the kitchen, one for not following request of meat only, fish finger sandwich undercooked & stale/dry bread. Mash for tge sausage & mash was lumpy, tge potatoes had not been cooked through before mashing. Front of house staff were polite & friendly, lovely setting. Let down today by inattentive kitchen staff.”

  “Set in a beautiful English village location. Walked in and was amazed how big it was. Staff were all great . Now the food . It was what ive been looking for for a long time. PROPER homecooked pub grub.Plates came out piping hot. I knew it was going to be good. Chips twice as big as your thumb crunchy on outside and soft in middle.A proper full pie stacked with chicken and leek a small pot of gravy and peas. Delicious Rasberry bakewell with chantily cream again warmed. The best food I have eaten in a very long time. All of us all thought the same Excellent. Thankyou.”

  “Myself and my daughter stopped off here on a roadtrip from Lake Garda to Ireland. It was excellent. The pub itself was lovely, the room was great and the village was picturesque. I didn't get the owners name but she was so nice. She showed us to our room and while we settled in she sorted a table for dinner. The food really hit the spot. Locals were outside drinking and chatting and laughing, a real mix of ages and it was lovely to see This place just happened to be on our route but I would go out of my way to stay here again.”

  “Stayed here for a long weekend, it's an old rustic pub, so expect low ceilings and winding passages on the way to the rooms. Our room was massive, but others look a lot smaller. The rooms were pretty nice and mostly clean. We only ate breakfast there, cooked breakfast was good, they had a small choice of cereals and spreads too. car parking is included for guests. 25 min drive (ish) to the NEC. The most annoying issue was that their WiFi is broken and the mobile signal is awful. Some other minor cleanliness issues + some minor annoyances (no soaps etc for bath, only one towel hook in bathroom)”

  “We recently met up with friends for a Christmassy dog walk 9 adults (mostly) and 3 dogs 2 reindeers and a Santa to be precise… after a lovely fresh brisk and jolly walk up through Umberslade wood towards the manor we returned to The Bell at Tanworth in Arden. I preordered food and agreed a festive set menu with Tara whose customer Service was excellent. What great value for money and excellent food roast potatoes a great veggie option and plenty of pigs in blankets for my meat eating pals… would recommend this pub with its warming open fire and super dog friendly staff highly enough! Treat yourself and pop in!!”

  “Lovely cosy stay in quiet location :) Stayed overnight with my partner in room overlooking front of pub. Room 7? • • Excellent quiet location. Cosy and tastefully furnished & decorated. Lovely big room and powerful shower. Spacious eating area. Delicious breakfast including the vegetarian one. Excellent evening meals and choice. Good driving distance to Utilita Arena where we had booked to go to a concert. • • Nothing to improve on. If there was anything we needed to raise, it was acted upon by the staff straight away and efficiently. They were approachable and friendly, and helpful. We couldn't have asked for better service and courteousness during our stay. Highly recommend.”

  “I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Bell in Tanworth-in-Arden, and it was a thoroughly delightful experience. Starting with lunch, I ordered the bacon, brie and chutney baguette with fries. The flavours were spot on: smoky, melting brie paired with sweet and tangy chutney, all tucked into a crisp baguette. The fries were golden and perfectly seasoned—simple, but done absolutely right. For dinner, I went with the special: pork belly. It was a standout dish—not just for its tenderness and depth of flavour, but especially for the croquettes that accompanied it. In fact, they might have been the most amazing croquettes I’ve ever had: crunchy on the outside, creamy and richly flavoured within. They elevated the whole meal. The dining room is very comfortable, a lovely space to relax in. One small caveat: the pub sits directly opposite a church, and the bell-ringing is quite charming—but loud. That said, after a little while, it becomes part of the atmosphere rather than a distraction. Service throughout both meals was excellent—attentive, friendly, and efficient. The staff clearly take pride in what they do, and it shows. Overall, I would 100% recommend The Bell. It offers excellent food, a warm and comfortable setting, attentive service—and enough character to make the experience special.”

  “In the late 90s , I went to TAMWORTH-in-Arden to see the grave of Nick Drake. This weekend I went to TANWORTH -in-Arden , having arrived I discovered it was the same place and for near on 30 years I got the name wrong!!. Back in the 90s, we visited the grave on a lovely weekday sunny afternoon. Had a beer outside the pub and left the village. This weekend we went purposefully to stay at the Bell , Supervalu for money bed-and-breakfast (superior room -Room number 2) Nice bathroom, good decent bed and bedding, coffee, making facilities in the room . Having visited a few national trust properties beforehand and experienced very bad customer service from the employees and particularly the young people. It was much appreciated to discover great staff at the Bell, particularly including the girl with very long blonde hair. Nothing was too much trouble. Great coffee with cream . Brilliant, clean quality breakfast , cooked exactly as requested, whether that was the fried eggs or the excellent scrambled eggs. Great toast cereals available also. More items available on the breakfast then I choose to have. Plenty of parking available uncomplicated and easy to take advantage of. Will we return? Undoubtedly when in the area again, it will be top of the list.”

  “Went here on a Sunday late afternoon just for some beers and it was bingo night. Great atmosphere, great location, great pub and dining looked delicious from what I saw on the menu. We just missed food due to being a Sunday. Benches across the green overlooking the church if you want to have a summer drink outside this place. Will definitely be going back.”
