About

The Bell Inn is a 16th‑century free house at the heart of the Georgian market town of Alresford, Hampshire. A family‑run establishment, it boasts a Grade II listed building with timber framing and a cosy, candlelit dining room that carries a 300‑year heritage. Guests can savour seasonal dishes prepared from locally sourced produce, paired with a carefully curated wine cellar that offers over forty international bottles and more than twenty glasses. The relaxed, informal atmosphere is complemented by free Wi‑Fi, a well‑stocked bar, and a historic façade that makes the inn a living piece of English history. Whether you come for a leisurely lunch, a warm Sunday roast, or a romantic dinner, the Bell Inn promises excellent value, friendly service and an authentic country‑house experience.
