The Bell - Ticehurst

Very nice food and service

A great, simple formula. Easy to book with a considerate follow up on the reservation. Table was ready and placed nicely in a lovely little area of the pub. The service was friendly and well timed - never felt rushed or that we were waiting at all. The drinks available were a very nice selection - my G&T was served in a lovely large glass with a good selection of Gins and Tonics without being excessively priced. The Menu offered good choice across appetizers to deserts but the main sell is the steak, it was simply delicious with (I think) double cooked chips and a tasty salad - it seemed everyone was eating that and why not! We really enjoyed our meal (and stay) at what is a truly lovely and exceptionally well run establishment.

Blown away by the whole experience. Looking forward to staying in one of the themed rooms....

Excellent service and quality food in a lovely relaxed setting for our evening meal. Breakfast was similarly good.

Brilliant as always. Food and service are consistent and quality is excellent

Great food, brilliant cosy atmosphere, and lovely friendly staff. Everything was just as we imagined and more. Good hearty portions at a very reasonable price. We'll definitely go back.

Delicious food in a welcoming environment. Friendly staff. The steak and passionate fruit sorbet were standout dishes. We will definitely return hope they are still on the menu!

Excellent food and service in great ambience.

The food was excellent as was the choice. Highly receommended

This was our second visit to the Bell in a month as we had been impressed by the cosy atmosphere, attentive service and nicely cooked food.
We were a bit disappointed that the menu was unchanged and three of the four of us us ordered duck breasts - previously enjoyed - as our main course. Unhappily these turned out to be very underdone, mainly gristle and inedible. The waiter offered us another main course but we decided enough was enough. We were not charged for these and given free deserts as compensation.
Clearly, this was a bit of a let down, but we felt the waiter did well in the circumstances. However, there must be a question over the quality of produce and the judgement and skill of the chef.
