The Bell

About

The Bell in Studham is a storied, 500‑year‑old Grade II listed pub that has earned national acclaim as Bedfordshire’s finest countryside gem. Nestled amid sweeping rural views, the historic interior blends cosy stone‑work, brick beams and a classic inglenook with a contemporary garden terrace that offers panoramic country scenery and a welcome spot for a pint or a bite. Its menu is a tasteful mix of hearty British classics—best known for Sunday roasts and stone‑oven Italian pizzas—paired with local ales, real wines and the iconic 99 Jersey soft‑serve ice cream. Friendly, attentive staff and a dedicated kids corner make it a favourite for families, while couples enjoy a relaxed, romantic ambience and history buffs delight in the pub’s centuries‑old character. Visitors can enjoy a range of experiences: order take‑away by phone, savour the garden’s sunset ambience, or try the two‑for‑one pizza nights on Mondays and Thursdays from 5 pm. Calls for reservations are recommended on weekends, though booking is not mandatory. Open seven days a week with seasonal highlights such as “Funky Fridays” and “Half‑Price Bubbles” that keep the local community coming back.
