The Langham Blue Bell

Luckily for us, we couldn 't get a reservation in Holt! Good Sunday menu. We skipped starters and went for roast beef, which was delicious and tender, served with 'greens ' and an individual cauliflower cheese. The service was good and friendly. We 'll be back!

Visited this recently refurbished pub. Whilst there weren't many people in, the young man at the bar, Max I believe, made us so welcome and the evening such a pleasure that we visited again the following evening. Service: 5

Upon arrival we were greeted well and shown to our table. The establishment is very welcoming and the tables well presented and chairs are comfortable and in keeping with the vibrant and classy atmosphere of the venue. Service was good for drinks, and the menu was explained to us well and there was plenty to choose from both regular and special options very good selection from the children’s menu too. We opted for the soup starter which was beetroot soup, we’ve never actually seen that offered anywhere previously, so was worth a punt! My wife found the soup too rich but I really enjoyed it and I’d go as far to say it’s ONE OF THE BEST soups I’ve ever tasted. The staff enquired if all was ok and as my wife wasn’t so keen on the soup, they offered her a complimentary ham hock starter, which was also exceptional this was a nice touch, they didn’t need to do this, as the soup was fine just not to my wife’s taste, so bonus points there for empathy and customer service. For the mains, we both ordered the roasts (beef and pork respectively) and my daughter had sausages, chips and veg. My daughter really enjoyed the sausages, chips and isn’t generally keen on the veg but really liked the leeks and greens they must have been tasty, as she’s a very fussy eater as a four year old. The roasts were amazing and again ONE OF THE BEST we’ve had in a long time!! I’d sampled the beef as well as the pork and I cannot fault anything about these roasts, presented well, good portion sizes and tasty as anything. Gravy made to suite the meat being offered too and not some generic offering. We really enjoyed our ‘experience’ here and we really do recommend you visit and try for yourselves, this is a gem and the prices are very reasonable for what’s being offered here and the service is amazing. Now on to the bad points there were none, so nice and easy!!! Great work guys, keep up the great work, Gordon Ramsey would be proud of this place I suspect, if he were to complete one of his famous visits!!! Take care and see you again!!

Lovely place, staff are great but the curried squash and chickpea pie was lacking any flavour whatsoever and for practically £20 I expected better. My partner thoroughly enjoyed her fish pie though.

Disappointing. Good, friendly service but food felt like it came straight from the freezer. Also, why so many pies on the menu? Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 1
