Midlands - West Restaurant Guide

Bell, The

From the outside The Bell displays a pretty acceptable version of the mock Gothic style. Inside it's a very different story. Described by one critic as an " aggressively rural alehouse", The Bell offers a warm welcome, an inspiring collection of beers, including Timothy Taylor's Best Bitter, alleged to be the only source of Bitter (not Landlord) from that brewery, south of the mystical line alleged to separate the men from the boys.
