A warm welcome in Ryes oldest pub from Izzie & Bell. Excellent selection of ales ,lagers and wines. Being a real ale drinker I had a pint of Ye Olde Bell unique to Ye Olde Bell, followed by 2 pints of RIPPER a very nice session pale ale with a grapefruit and citrus taste.The wine selection is comprehensive Sauvignon from New Zealand, Pinot grigio from Italy & Malbec from Argentina.
