The Bell is a traditional pub,  dating from the 17th Century.  Situated on the A388 in the village of Monkleigh, it has a thatched roof, classic pub interior and a stunning garden to the rear which is south facing and has views across the local Devonshire countryside. Currently owned and run by Josh, Yvonne, supported by a small merry band of brilliant staff, we offer real ales, great food and a relaxed atmosphere. We always have a variety of ales from around the country; with local brews featuring heavily, whilst rotating others from other great breweries.  We have also sourced a good selection of wines, as we firmly believe wine should be as good in a pub as any restaurant. We have a selection of gins, whiskies and rums, and for the drivers, low or no-alcohol beers. 

If you're joining us to eat, then you'll have a chance to try a varied selection of steaks, pies. together with fish and vegetarian/vegan options, with sides and salads. We also do a selection of fantastic burgers and proper, meaty ribs. 

​

We serve food lunchtimes and evenings, wednesday through to Saturday and then our ever-popular Sunday roast from 12:00 to 2.45 on Sundays (sorry - no food served Sunday evenings). If you would like to join us for food, we recommend booking to avoid disappointment.

We welcome motorhome or campervan overnight stop-overs in our car park if you come and eat or drink with us. We have a motorhome ourselves and often use pub stop-overs when out exploring!

We're lucky enough to live and run a business in a truly stunning part of the country. North Devon is often described as unspoilt, with everything going for it: golden sands, rugged coastline, fairy-den woodlands, rolling hills, pretty villages, historic towns, the vastness of Exmoor and numerous coves and fishing villages tucked into the cliffs.  The Bell Inn  is surrounded by the rolling Devonshire countryside, with easy access to fantastic beaches and coastline such as Westward Ho!, Instow and Hartland. We are approximately 1.3 miles from the Tarka Trail, along a very quiet country lane, so an easy detour if you're walking or cycling this popular route. In addition, we are on the TRAMP walking route, which takes you through the local countryside.  We're very dog friendly, and welcome the whole family for a visit and stop off whilst you enjoy Devon.

There are plenty of other attractions locally too - you can find a full list on the Visit Devon website.
