Strongers . left this review about The Old Bell Inn
The left hand bar of the Old Bell feels like a hotel lobby and not just because there were people walking through with luggage as my wife and I entered. We soon made our way around to the right hand bar where the other patrons could be found. There was some background music playing from the jukebox and I noted that live music was advertised for the upcoming Friday evening. On the left hand wall is a decorated inglenook and throughout the pub are horse brasses, framed old money, plates and other knickknacks. Out the back is a beer garden that I did not visit.
The bar was stocked with standard draught and I counted four hand pumps. These were drawing Woodfordes Wherry, Adnams Broadside, Wychwood’s Hobgoblin Gold and Slack Alice Cider.
I like the friendly local atmosphere in here and would return if on the area.

The Old Bell is now under new management - what a relief!! New Chef, soon they'll be a whole new menu and there are some new staff. The atmosphere is much nicer and we had a lovely roast in there yesterday. I look forward to being able to visit my local again!! Would recommend people give this place a try.

Apart from the dodgy rock bands, this pubs has great singers from time to time. Check out JD - great male singer who's had top 40 hits in his time. Also, Mia - she's also down at the King Willy - another (actually, even better) great little pub.
