David Griffiths left this review about The Five Bells

This is a splendid village pub, at a time when this type of pub is struggling the Five Bells seems to go from strength to strength, The current owners have worked hard to make this place a success. Good food several cuts above normal pub grub lots of locally sourced ingredients, good selection of beer including real ales good atmosphere, friendly staff often live music at the weekends everything a pub should be.
