The Bell Inn - Harborough

We had been meaning to visit this village pub after a friend had recommended it. The 'Eat Out ' discounted scheme gave us the main reason to give it a go. The starter of tomato and basil soup was steaming hot and delicious,served with crusty bread. I was offered mackerel salad and was not disappointed; delicious served with a bowl of new potatoes. Hubby was served a rather large beef burger and cheese with a side of chips. He has a hearty appetite and it was more than enough for him. The service was warm and friendly, without being intrusive. Had we had paid the full non- discounted bill, we would have been very happy at the price. Listening to the staff taking bookings this is a popular pub You can sit outside or indoors for meals I could see the walled garden, which looked very inviting. I think this is well worth another visit .

After arriving from the United States in the morning, we hopped in the car and headed north. Around lunchtime, we found ourselves near Market Harborough and stumbled upon The Bell Inn. We decided to try the Bangers and Mash and the Ploughman's Platter, both of which were absolutely delicious. The owner even took some time to chat with us, adding to our enjoyable experience. I highly recommend The Bell Inn.

This was the first time we had been to the Bell Inn for a few years. The interior is much improved (clean, stylish cosy and the welcome was warm and friendly. The roast dinner was fresh, tasty and plentiful (we took our extra roasties home in a doggy bag! . The pudding; apple rhubarb crumble, was delicious too. The service throughout our meal was top class and the landlord thoroughly entertained our 6 year old boy with lots of banter and fun! My son also loved the Jaffa cake ice cream! We will definitely be back. If you have not been to the Bell Inn yet or were put off by a poor previous experience, then you should give it a go now, as the new management are first class. Five Stars!!

I recently went to The Bell for Sunday lunch with a friend. The food was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. The owner was friendly and attentive. We had a craving for a cheese board at the end of our meal, and even though it wasn't on the menu, he happily made one for us. We were so impressed that we immediately booked a table for Christmas day lunch based on our experience.

We were surprised and delighted to find that this pub has new management ?ownership? as it had been disappointing of late. The very friendly guy said they'd only been there a week but they were very attentive and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. Italian chef apparently and they are tweaking the menu. Wild mushroom risotto can have chicken or steak added for a couple of pounds extra and was terrific. I had a huge portion of very moist and tender Piri Piri chicken with chips and our friend had a home made pie with chips and vegetables. All very tasty. Recommended
