a week agoComments are for the restaurant. Great place, staff and tasty, well prepared, good food and desserts. And very nice atmosphere. Easy parking and large garden (that we could use due to rain). Very pleased and recommended. Will visit again if in the area.

a month agoBest pub I've been to in a long time. Easily would rival if not surpass household names like the Pig on the beach. Great atmosphere in the pub. Nice blend of cozy local vibes and gastropub fine dining. The food was incredible and the rooms very spacious and light. Staff were very helpful and friendly!

2 months agoFood was faultless, amazing range of options, amazing Gluten Free options. The decor and atmosphere of the pub is great, however unfortunately the service we received was slow and a bit chaotic. The food price is reflective of the quality however the experience was dampened by the service. And unfortunately we were overcharged by £60 on top of a £20 tip, which we only noticed after leaving. It would be good to return and feel like the staff were well trained and had a good knowledge of the menu and service.

a week agoWe were very lucky to be able to book the Brisley Bell for one of the few summer weddings they do due to their popularity as a destination pub. The Brisley Bell is truly a gem and an amazing find, it’s got everything you could want, great food, great venue, lovely gardens and a really nice rural location. The owners attention to detail and extensive renovation and re-imaging of the pub really are special without losing any character. Just go and book one of there six superb rooms each capable of being a honeymoon suite, kick back in the garden for a leisurely afternoon then move into one of the restaurant rooms, the snug or the bar for some recognisable but high quality and more importantly very tasty food. I almost didn’t want to give such a great review because I don’t want to spoil the secret gem it is.
