The Eight Bells — Restaurant in England

This 17th century inn was originally called the five bells untill the church added 3 more bells in the tower so changed its name to its current 8 bells in 1771. Entrance to the front of the pub is a challenge for the less able but you can access the pub and carpark from chearsley road. Where there are just 2 smaller steps down to the bar inside the pub.

We received a warm welcome and ordered the scampi and fish and chips from the comprehensive menu. They did give an option for half portions which was a nice touch as you don't always want a large meal in the middle of the day. Needless to say we went for the full portions!

When the food first arrived I thought the scampi portion was a little on the small size imo however everything was well cooked including the chips which where nice and crisp. Peas also tasted nice and fresh and not over cooked. See pic

The person I was with had the fish and chips, a decent portion which had nice crisp thin batter and crisp chips. She had opted to go for the peas rather than mushy peas which they where happy to substitute. See pic

A minor thing, but I appreciated the fact that you actually get a ketchup bottle rather than a tiny thimble of condiment, so commonly given out now in quite a few pubs I visit!

Over all I would highly recommend this pub. Lovely old building full of character a warm welcome and great pub food! There is also a pub garden at the rear for Al...

Visited with friends last night. Service was very slow especially considering the restaurant was quiet. The restaurant prides itself on being enviromentally friendly and to cut down on waste has a QR code on the table to access there menus online this clearly states it is updated every day but when 2 of our party tried to order the steak was told this was not actually on the menu. So they ordered the wild venison steak at £18 from the menu instead. you can imagine our surprise when the bill was presented to us at £20 more than was expected. On Querying this was told that the online menu we had ordered from was only a sample menu and was then shown a paper menu with the veal prices at £28 not £18 obviously refused to pay this inflated price (I have checked again this morning and this price is still listed) would recommend if you are going to eat here you carefully check your bill...

The Eight Bells is an absolutely lovely local pub. As soon as you walk in, you notice how welcoming and homely the place is. The decor is very warm, and is gorgeous with all of the wooden bar and beams etc. There is table service, which is fantastic. All of the staff that we spoke to were extremely friendly and attentive. They chatted with us and laughed with us. I also couldn't recommend the food more. The sausage starter with salad and wholegrain mustard is a must. The burgers were delicious, and the chips were absolutely amazing!! It was lovely sitting outside with our food and drinks. We felt so well looked after, and the food was absolutely fantastic. I highly...
