The Bell - Ticehurst

This was our first visit to the bell and it won't be the last, the food was excellent and cooked superb, the only downside was Sunday lunch and it was limited to one joint of roast beef no chicken or lamb as a roast dinner, however other choices of meal were on the menu, the staff were great and they looked after us well, we notified them in advance one of our group was in a wheel chair and space was needed, we could not have asked for anything better we were very appreciative of there efforts. Nothing was too much trouble. The pub itself is very quirky out of this world, and any male visitors must visit the gents you will be surprised, I was.

excellent experience, nice atmosphere a pub renowned for quirkiness.
very nice food with good service.

Felt that the menu was limited, but the food was of excellent quality.

Menu is interesting and varied. Sadly our favourite whole spicy chicken wasn’t available. Unusual and delicious liver dish was a winner this time.

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.
