Following a significant investment, The Bells effortlessly blends traditional pub charm with contemporary comfort. Oak flooring, heritage-inspired interiors and thoughtful nods to the area’s aviation history create a space that feels both stylish and welcoming.

At its heart is a vibrant bar, where local regulars gather and guests settle in over cask ales, seasonal specials and great conversation. The spacious dining areas and flexible function room provide endless opportunities, from private celebrations and community events to corporate gatherings and special dining experiences.

Outside, the recently refurbished courtyard garden offers seating for over 40 guests, creating the perfect setting for al fresco dining, summer drinks and relaxed social occasions.

With our popular Fireside Menu, premium drinks range, curated wine list and classic cocktails, you’ll have all the ingredients needed to create an exceptional guest experience. The opportunity is there to build a reputation that reaches far beyond the village, establishing The Bells as one of the area’s most-loved pubs.
