Just over a month in...

So it has been 5 weeks since we took over The Bell Inn and whilst it has been a whirlwind, we are really grateful for the warm welcome from our customers and our brilliant staff, who have helped us every step of the way!

We have made a few small changes - a new wine list offers a range of great choices, from Argentinian Malbec to South African Pinotage and Italian Pino Grigio to Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. It's a global vineyard journey and hopefully has something to suit all tastes. 10 of the range are available by the glass, to ensure you can match your favourite with your meal. You can see the list on our home page.

We have also put together a new menu for 2020, so watch this space for the final version. It will keep all the classic favourites we know you love, but have a few new options added to widen your choice. We have had a copy on the bar and asked people for their thoughts when they have come in and so far, the feedback has all been good.

We're into the swing of Christmas now, with our decorations up and the first two Christmas meal bookings completed. We're looking forward to serving everyone who has booked in for a festive treat. Our Christmas opening hours are now also on our home page at the bottom.

Keep an eye on the events page too - we'll update it with any new music evenings and our regular quiz night. The next one is on Boxing day, so come along for a break from the festive TV and some good old-fashioned quizzing fun! We'll start at 7pm (open from 6pm).

Big Al is joining us for an evening of live music in January and we also have our New Year's Eve party, which is Disney Themed fancy dress. You can get your ticket at the bar, or online - just pop over to our events page.

That's all for now, we'll do another update soon.

Sally, Roy and Patch
