Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Eight Bells
Very attractive old pub, with plenty of character both inside and out. Traditional furniture and decor in both the bar and the side seating / darts area (which is located up a few steps). Background music at a sensible volume. Three handpumps on the counter, with Doom Bar, Spitfire and Enville Ale (£3.50) on when I visited, and a chalk-board indicated a reasonable selection of other real ales to follow.

This is an old pub that should be visited as it has a lot of character with low ceilings, snug areas and an inglenook, but I wouldn't want to spend all night in here.
The R and B music seemed to be more for the barmaid than the customers, but she was extremely friendly and made me feel very welcome.
There are three hand pumps, but two are unused with the other dispensing Greene King IPA which is a little lazy on behalf of the management.
There is a dartboard which is good to see, but I still think that this place is more worth a look for the building rather than the atmosphere and beer.

Great nostalgic pub, used to drink there in 1985/86, when I lived in Old Hatfield & visited it last May on our honeymoon. Has not changed a bit, rustic & smells of history. Great food as well as ale! Try it!! Chris & Julie Craig
