The Bell - Ticehurst

I booked this as a surprise evening out for my partner after hearing such great reviews. The places is lovely, the set up for eating is perfect as you have the quietness to enjoy conversation with who you are dining with but you are still able to enjoy the pub atmosphere as well, the service was excellent prompt with getting your orders. I love the fact that the have the breads, olives set up in the middle it a lovely touch and great to see, the food was amazing so tasty which is lovely from a pub as being a vegetarian this can lead to it always being the same.

Lovely pub.. great table, service a bit slow. Food good but we don’t come the the Bell much due to the menu being very limited.

Excellent food and service in a quirky environment!

Quickly popped in for a midweek bite. Attentive and friendly, swift service and great food.

We loved The Bell! The food was excellent and the service and friendliness of the staff was first rate
The attention to detail in the décor meant that the ambience was relaxed and homely, with a little quirkiness thrown in.
We have found a little gem to add to our list of favourites.

We enjoyed an excellent family lunch and experienced a very friendly and efficient service, once again Thank you and we shall return soon! We also enjoyed looking round the bedrooms! The loo was interesting! I got carried away (reading the music)!

Excellent food, setting & service! If you want a quirky pub with a great atmosphere and an interesting menu I would highly recommend, everything was delicious from start to finish!

Very pleasant lunch. Very nice 16th Century inn/hotel. The bar and restaurant are all wood with large wooden scrubbed tables. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The food was of very good quality, well presented and the service was very efficient.
After lunch we were invited to be shown round the facilities for private dining and parties.

Overall a good experience. The starter course was disappointing. My dish was so tiny I could hardly see it, whereas my partners was a reasonable size. The main course was very good flavour and the extra vegetables that we ordered were perfectly cooked. To summarise I think the food is good but very overpriced.

During a recent holiday we booked The Bell for my 40th Birthday Dinner. I’m a big fan of rustic and eclectic decor and locally sourced well cooked produce. So this place seemed like perfection, my husband and I had the Sunday Roast Beef adult meal and my daughter had the child version. My son had the kids burger. The food was delicious and the beef was cooked exactly as it should be. We all have huge appetites so my only negative comment would have been I would have like a little more veg, another roast potato or 2 and some extra gravy given the£17 price tag. The child’s burger and chip meal was excellent and my son was stuffed! The chips looked so good I had to try one myself. The local ale was also delicious and a great accompaniment to the meal. We had dessert due to still being a little peckish after our dinner and my daughter chose the chocolate pudding with a runny chocolate centre that was incredible. I wished I had ordered the same.
All in all I would highly recommend this establishment and would certainly return.
