The Bell - Ticehurst

Overnight stay & dinner for our silver anniversary. Staff made us feel really special and we had an excellent meal / wine & great accommodation in pour l’amour. Thank you so much for a special night.

Delicious food but very limited menu.

They are ringing their own bell.......apparently. The menu was very limited, our chicken was very average and breakfast took 40 mins to arrive, the bacon having been cooked earlier. Very busy and noisey at breakfast as they decided to flush the beer pumps out and mop the floors , not a pleasant experience for us. Having said that, the staff were excellent.

Every thing was spot on.

We were staying at the Bell so it seemed logical to eat there. The bar / restaurant area is as quirky as the rest of the hotel and felt quite comfortable. We enjoyed the food but due to the inexperience of one waitress we overordered and were charged for bread we didn’t need and consequently didn’t eat. The same waitress also served my partner a pint of bitter instead of cider as she didn’t seem to understand the difference. The only negative comments I would make relate to the serving staff. One of the waitresses in the evening and the main waitress at breakfast were quite surly and certainly hadn’t heard of the saying ; service with a smile. Overall though the experience was very enjoyable.

Our experience was a good one. A little disappointed for not being able to try the picanha, according to the waiter it had finished. Delicious Italian olives. Good size portion. Over all a good place to go.

Great pub - awesome food, amazing service and a really friendly little place. Highly recommended.

Fantastic meal. Could not have been better.

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.
