Deep in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, The Bell is an outstanding 17th century inn complete with exposed beams, flagstone floors, oak furniture, open fireplaces and a warm welcome. The refuge has been providing refreshment for over 300 years, and according to local history, William Shakespeare was on his way back to Stratford in the rain after meeting Drayton and Ben Johnson for a drink at The Bell in Welford when he contracted fatal pneumonia.

The chefs use locally sourced produce to create a menu that combines pub food with more innovative cuisine, ensuring both regular and first time visitors enjoy a wide choice of tasty food. Choices could range from Scottish salmon salad and homemade lasagne to Thai green monkfish curry and smoked chicken rémoulade. There are at least three vegetarian and one vegan main course on the menu.

Wines and real ales complement the food.

The Bell Inn is voted the Warwickshire Dining Pub of the Year 2009 by readers of The Good Pub Guide.
