The Bell Alderminster Reviews

Quiet drink, great little traditional pub, very warm and friendly!

Excellent food and polite staff will call in next time I'm in the area

Excellent staff..so helpfull . Lovely room. Very clean and comfortable. The food was very good. Would stay again. Good value for the money.

We enjoyed a drink in the nice clean outdoor seating area. Pretty lavender and low hedges. Friendly staff. Current safety procedures are sensible and effective.

Top pub and excellent restaraunt. Everything is "done right" completely recommended!

You must go here. Food excellent but salads should be bigger.

Fantastic food and drink and a great stay. It's a must try.

Fantastic pub very good food when in the Area again will Definitely call in Staff we brii

The food was good the service could have been better but we just laughed at the situation. The safety precautions are very good.

A wonderful pub with great garden and views.
Good food also.

Excellent service, and very well kept beer (the Ubu in particular). Disappointing starters were followed by very good mains - the veggie risotto was surprisingly fragrant and the beef casserole was good, but would have benefited from having More

Really good staff. Funny and relaxed. Cosy place and great service. Rooms very nice. It is what I would think of a English slightly modernized pub

Beer on hand pump ranges from dismal to just about ok. Staff know no better. OK if you're a lady who lunches, ordering wine by grape variety. Take an aged aunt, she'll love it... I can't.

Wonderful. The room was wonderfully decorated as was the restaurant and the bar. The food was very good and the bar has a wide selection of ales and ciders. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Food was superb, chips amazing!!!! Very friendly to dogs (and people) with good parking. Recovery modern and light and the fire was warm and cosy.

Properly well organised in the new climate. Great beer in a comfortable environment. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy a pub stop half way round country walk.

Comfortable surroundings, good food, pleasant staff.

Very good food. Always very fresh ingredients and great service

Good location for exploring Stratford-Upon-Avon, the accomodation was very good as well as very clean and of high quality. The staff were very friendly and professional and we were made to feel very welcome. Nice restaurant with a good selection on the menu for dinner and a very good breakfast selection. All in all I would recommend The Bell and we would stay there again

We spent 3 nights at The Bell for a last minute getaway, after our holiday abroad was cancelled.
We had never visited this part of the country before but the location was ideal for visiting Stratford upon Avon and The Cotswolds.

From start to finish the staff were very friendly and welcoming and made our stay extremely enjoyable.
The room was beautiful, clean and well equipped.
The pub served a large variety of drinks and great food, the chef was very accommodating with any changes to the menu we asked for.
The puddings were particularly delicious and so were the pancakes for breakfast!
The garden was beautiful, it was so lovely to sit comfortably outside with a drink.
The manager Rachel was an absolutely lovely woman, the best of personalities for her position and you could tell she really loved her job!
We will definitely return and would recommend to anyone.

One of the best places I have been to.
Quote from my dad: "even the broccoli tastes good here!" Food and surroundings were excellent, and the staff were so lovely and helpful.
I'll definitely be coming here again

Only stopped for a quick drink, but friendly and they welcome dogs. Very smart, and the beer was good.

Geared up for accomodation/food,if this is what your looking for I expect you will pay for your visit accordingly,if you call for a quick refreshment do not expect a warm welcolme

We called in at The Bell for a mid week lunch, was only really expecting a bar meal but was given a nice table and after seeing the menu went for the special 2 course offer they have on.

We were not dissapointed as the food was spot on and nice big portions too.

The atmosphere was great as was the service and despite being surprisingly busy for a mid week the service was nice and fast too.

Hopefully be making it our monthly meet up place.

Beautiful decorated, lovely staff and fantastic food. Be sure to take part in the many events they hold throughout the year!

Lovely food and great place to spend a Sunday afternoon

Delicious food, vegetarian pea tortellini delicious, veg cooked perfectly, chicken and ham pie excellent. Service friendly, fast and top covid safety. Price fantastic for such an all round lovely evening

Top destination pub to treat your other half. Nice garden for summer time.

Excellent service, atmosphere and fantastic food. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Lovely good food not to expensive felt comfortable in in these strange Times

Stay frequently - always made to feel so welcome and nothing too much trouble. Food great, accommodation great (sometime a little too warm however better than being cold!) Highly recommend a visit whether for dining or a night away. Perfect in every way!

Lovely place to stay, not far out of Stratford upon Avon, food delicious and comfortable rooms. Highly recommend

The dessert platter I had was amazing! Service was great :)

Great spot for a relaxing summer's lunch in the beautiful English countryside!

Staff are amazing in this place! So friendly and accommodating. Awesome food too!!

Food was excellent Service was superb.Took some relatives for lunch.They do not live in the area so had not heard of the pub.Were delighted with both the food and the service.Thought it was way above what you would expect in a village pub.

Called in for breakfast, expecting great things as a birthday treat for my partner. We were told we could eat in the tired looking bar, although the beautiful dining room was open and had other guests eating. My partners breakfast consisted More

Food super, very friendly staff and lovely location, highly recommended

Great service. Staff super friendly and die everything to make visit an enjoyable one. The garden is a sun trap. If you want a prime table, get there early.

Sunday lunch is very good quality and atmosphere is relaxed whilst still being classy

A week ago we had a Birthday lunchtime bash for 30 friends & family at The Bell and have to say the food and service was absolutely great!! The whole ambience of the venue was excellent.

Vibrant atmosphere. Smiling staff with attention to customer needs. Good menu very cooked and presented.

Great pub. Lovely interiors. Excellent food and a great range of Ales.
Crackling logs on fire. Friendly staff. Amazing beer garden looking over the river stour and beyond.
Like a pub should be.

Great little country pub. Nice food. Lovely local ales

Lovely pub! Great garden with lots of space for kids to play. Food was yummy and the staff so friendly! Highly recommend.

A good pub, a variety of different types of seating, really good food, lacking much choice of vegetarian.

Smart, friendly, good food, excellent service, allow dogs in the bar. Great place to eat. The Bell reopened in February 2020 under new owners and management after being extended and refurbished. It is now more spacious with larger bar and dining areas. The staff are polite and attentive. There is a good choice of food and drinks. Easy access and plenty of parking space.Prices are similar to most good eating places in the area. Just be careful when you leave in a car in case anyone is speeding along the A3400.

Great to see The Bell open again. Had a lovely late Sunday lunch in the garden. Safety procedures are reassuring, but not intrusive and unlike many other places, you can see they have given this a lot of thought. Drinks and Food service were both seamless and quick. A shame that more people were not enjoying the sunshine in the garden and the pub tables were very quiet, but hopefully people will soon return. Only negative was the roast potatoes were pretty tepid - no excuse for that, chef. The rest of the food was exceptionally good.

My daughter and son in law booked here for the wedding party and we stayed two nights . What can we say , superb quality, great location and friendly and professional staff . We filled the place but every room was superb and different . I have stayed in many top hotels but this was special , food excellent and views and gardens superb and helped us get into the right mood for the wedding. Full marks to all . Will definitely stay again

Accomodating, understanding, friendly, spotlessly clean, comfortable, quirky, seems expensive but you really do get value for money, everything's top quality, lovely dinner & an excellent breakfast - love it one of the best places we've stayed in. We will be back.

A really lovely evening. Covid all sorted. Great service, great food nothing to mean about here. Will gr back for sure.

Very impressed with the measures in place to unsure distancing, gives confidence. Excellent service and food.

Stayed overnight here following a wedding meal on 1st Sept. Very good 3 course meal for the wedding couldnt fault it. Beautiful room and good home cooked breakfast.

This public house is my local watering hole. Ive seen a lot of changes here in the 30 years ive been coming here. I like what i see. Come and try it out for yourselves.

Very pleasant mid-week lunch for five of us. Staff friendly, food generally very good, although my 'fitness bowl' was smaller than anticipated. The dessert (pictured) was particularly tasty.

Really nice pub with a good atmosphere. Car park was attended to make sure that you could find a space. Called in on Sunday but they couldn't accommodate us in the restaurant and weren't accepting walk ins. Unfortunately the Baby Bell BBQ didn't start until 2.30 which was a 2 hr wait from when we arrived (which seems a bit late as they lose the business that couldn't get in the restaurant). Had a drink instead and enjoyed the atmosphere in there. Will go back and try the food but will be sure to book next time!
