The Bell
About
The Bell is a quintessential English pub tucked in the heart of the Mendips, offering a welcoming blend of indoor warmth and outdoor charm. With a newly refurbished family garden and a sunny patio, the venue comfortably accommodates both cosy family gatherings and relaxed nights out with friends. Its menu showcases classic British fare—from homemade steak and hearty pies to a rotating selection of local ales—while also catering to diverse tastes with dedicated vegetarian, vegan, and children’s options. A Saturday or Sunday roast is a local favorite, best enjoyed with a pre‑booking to secure a table. Beyond the food, The Bell’s award‑winning beer garden is a highlight of the season. Here patrons can savour a wide array of cask ales in the company of friends, making it a favourite after‑work spot and a lively gathering place on warm summer evenings. Whether you’re a local looking for a convenient pint or a visitor exploring nearby attractions such as Longleat Safari Park or the historic city of Bath, The Bell provides an authentic slice of English pub culture. With its friendly service and generous beverage selection, it’s a destination worth strolling into from the Mendip countryside.
