Met a friend for lunch on an October Tuesday. We were met with smiles and a nothing is too much trouble attitude. Although an hour early, having booked, we were offered a choice of tables and left with the menus in peace. About 50 minutes and an excellent pint of Boltmaker later I ordered lunch, the fish pie and the burger plus another pint of Boltmaker and, on good authority, an excellent half of Doombar. Both main courses were very good and served with the same pleasant attitude as we'd already encountered, so much so we decided to divert from our usual one course and ordered a dessert each. The Panna Cotta and the house crumble were a perfect addition. Two good coffees later it was time to leave having spent an enjoyable three and a half hours. As I said to my companion as we enjoyed our coffees The Five Bells had only one drawback, it's about an hour and a quarter from mine. Having said that, it won't stop us from looking forward to another visit before too long. Excellent real ale, wonderful atmosphere, excellent value for money food, a thoroughly enjoyable lunchtime.

This is a lovely place, good food and beer, reasonably priced, one of my favourites. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
