About The Bell Inn, Welford on Avon
On Binton Rd in Welford on Avon, The Bell Inn occupies a 17th-century building with flagstone flooring, wood ceiling beams and open fires. Part of the pub keeps this traditional character, while the other side has a more modern look. The kitchen serves an eclectic menu that runs to 63 dishes, including a prawn cocktail and scampi, alongside real ale among the drink choices. Tables are bookable in advance, and reservations are required. The pub opens daily, with table service throughout. A rear garden provides outside seating, and a dog friendly section welcomes dogs while other areas remain dog free. A car park sits to the rear of the building, set back from the road through the village.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday lunch draws consistent praise, with diners citing decent portion sizes and flavour alongside standouts like prawn cocktail and scampi. Several highlight the beer garden and rear garden as a strong pull for sitting outside, and one celebratory visit came with an attentive touch, staff bringing out a birthday balloon and food described as stunning and flavoursome. The pub's split character, part traditional with flagstone and beams, part more modern, comes up more than once, and the car park is noted as useful though easy to miss from the road. Service is repeatedly called friendly and attentive, though one reviewer mentions drinks taking a while to arrive at the bar. Real ale and a broad drinks selection also get a mention. The overall pattern is of a village pub reviewers return to, with one noting the place felt just as they remembered it years on.

“This place is amazing. We stopped in part way around our walk on a sunday evening when it was very busy, luckily they managed to squeeze us in. We expected to have to wait a while for our food however the waiter took our order promptly …”

“Lovely welcoming pub in the centre of the village. Large car park to the rear and large rear garden beautifully presented. We ate Sunday lunch and it was really nice and decent portion sizes. Booked to eat in dog friendly section of the pub as not all dog friendly which is fair enough. Charming old pub with modern additions. Plenty of drink choices too. Staff friendly and attentive both when dining and when we popped in a second day for just drinks. Decent real ale well stored, and served too, which makes me happy.”
