The Bell Inn — Restaurant in England

Very nice traditional country village pub - beams, horse brasses, etc. you know the sort of thing - with two small bar areas (filled with locals), bar dining area and separate dining room. Warm welcome even though we arrived just before the kitchen closed. Beers on offer were Black Sheep Ale (Yorkshire Ales) which was very good indeed, Cotleigh Barn Owl and Palmers Copper Ale. The fourth, Butcombe, had the clip turned round. On the downside, as far as my wife was concerned, was that only three white wines were on offer and the one she chose was very warm. The food was plentiful and very tasty (although my scampi had obviously been cooked in oil used to cook something else, giving the scampi a strange taste). All in all above average and very good value for money - 2 pints, 2 large wines and 2 meals for just £32. Only criticism was the smell of smoke wafting through from wherever the smokers are relegated to these days - it just wasn't far...

I had my 60th Birthday party here in April, Kerry and Kas catered for 80 people, we had a hot buffet, and some awesome puds

They included Tea and coffee and fresh jugs of water, they have a PA system so we could have a bit of a boogie and a secure garden for the children to play

We had so much excellent feed back for the food and venue, if you are thinking of holding an event, I would highly recommend the Bell Inn at Ash

The two young girls looking after us were super friendly, efficient, could not do enough for us, we really appreciate the hard work you all put in to make my day really special

Thank you so much Kerry and Kas and the two...

Set in the small village of Ash, I have always loved this pub. It's where I first ventured out into the grown-up world of pubs, so I am going to be slightly biased. It has had many landlords over the many years I've been going here, and the current owner and staff are amongst the very best. I can't speak about the food, but the pub has a real, local feel which is becoming quite difficult to find these days. A good selection of well-kept beers...
