The Bell Inn — Restaurant in Rugby

I will never ever be able to recommend the bell enough . Rachel millie and team went above and beyond hosting our wedding this weekend. The Bell came in and saved us when 8 months before the day the original venue closed. they bent over backwards for us offering the garden room, hut and patio with marquee. Further more allowing us to still use caterers that had already been pre booked with big deposits for. Bearing in mind this was due to be a big weekend for any venue being summer bank holiday weekend! They were hot on communication happy to help in any way possible . They even contacted us to say was able to let us set up night before (massively reduced pre wedding stress) spoke to vendors directly and took in my cake and set it up . On the day we arrived over an hour early due to photos with weather not taking place! and nothing was an issue . they even took a mini video of snippets of our day ! service was quick and happy! and finally after it was all over the gems even cleaned up boxed our stuff away for storage so we didn't need to worry the next day ! ...

I’ll start with the good: Y’all the desserts here are legendary and worthy of 5 stars! We had an amazing honeycomb cheesecake with crème, a crème brulle that was licked clean and then a super delicious sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice-cream. And these desserts were split between 5 adults, but none of us felt that super sickly sugar coma afterwards, so this is deffo a place bookmarked when next sweet tooth attacks.

Food wise, we all thought the chips were great and would get the fish pie again, but none of the other dishes hit the mark for our palate on this visit. Personal preference but I didn’t enjoy the batter on the fish - tasted stodgy/ weird. The veggie burger was ok, and the duck had a lot more spice so it overwhelmed the salad.

However great service, comfy chairs and overall lovely ambiance. I’m curious enough to come back and try some other stuff on the menu when next in Rugby, and definitely...

Been back a couple of times since the review below. Yesterday we held a wake there in the Garden Room with bar. I cannot recommend highly enough how good everything was. Excellent - communication and arrangements beforehand and help with music and photography slideshow. Excellent - food in both quality, amount and value Excellent - speed of service at the bar Thankyou

Service really let it down. Had a booking at 5pm Sunday, only 3 of us. Had to remind the staff to take our order (we only had mains) and it arrived at 5.55. Nice gesture to take one meal off the bill which they did without any feedback but I would rather have had a better service. The young lad was that apologised for the wait blamed it on being busy, you took the bookings and know how many people will be eating! Shame because the food is good and we have been here a few times. Certainly wouldn’t visit at...
