Restaurant at The Bell Inn Hotel Description
It would be churlish indeed to omit mentioning what many mistakenly assume to be the home of the famous cheese of that name, nor is there the slightest intention to do so.
The famed cheese was in fact first produced by the Housekeeper at Quenby Hall, one Mrs Beaumont, not far from Leicester. It became associated with Stilton largely because this was the most convenient staging post for sending copious quantities of the stuff to London.
Dick Turpin is alleged to have had a hideaway at The Bell. Turpin would undoubtedly have approved of the dining arrangements which blend traditional and modern into an attractive menu that must have tickled the palate of many a weary traveller.
A parfait of chicken livers could precede an excellent braised blade of beef with creamed celeriac and roasted shallots, followed by some Long Clawston Stilton with home-baked plum bread. House wine is from £11.95 and a supple list offers choices from most continents.
Fixed Lunch
- £16.95 (3 courses), Sun
Your Reviews of Restaurant at The Bell Inn Hotel
Darren Smith (19 January 2005)
Absolutely terrible, we dined there in March 2004, six of us. One starter went back because it was over cooked. Two main dishes went back, one they got the order wrong, and the other was a sirloin steak which had lots of fat through it. Two of us had wild mushrooms with pasta, which looked ok (only ok) but tasted completely bland & the mushrooms were rubbery. These weren’t sent back because we didn’t want any more & felt sorry for the waitress (who was doing her best in the circumstances). We got a reduction in the bill but, I feel, we still paid far too much for a awful meal.
I sent an email the next day to complain to the hotel to which I’ve still not had a reply, a copy of which can be forwarded to anyone interested.

Excellent food and wonderful atmosphere! Very friendly people, historic surroundings. I cannot recommend this establishment highly enough.
