Went here today without a booking but the staff were very helpful and seated us straight away. Drinks orders were taken immediately. Food order was taken as soon as the drinks were bought to the table. Lovely menu with lots of homemade, traditional food choices. There was also a specials board. We ordered cobs and a child's burger with sides of chips and onion rings. Portion sizes were great and the cheese on my cob was about an inch thick!! Great value for money. The pie looked amazing (will definitely be having that next time) Really cosy atmosphere with the fire on. Excellent service and I've already booked to go back on Thursday!

Large beer garden with great view of sunset. Friendly attentive staff. Great home style food, and good portions. Been back again today for lunch. We both had the steak and ale pie with chips and peas. It was excellent and the staff cannot do enough for you. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Thank you

First time here after hearing lots of good reviews. Food and service was fantastic. Will be coming back

The Bell n Bear grill is by far the best mixed grill I have had in years. To say I like my food is an understatement but I couldn't finish it. Best value for money around. You need to book if eating in the evening.

Holden's pub, good selection of real ales served by friendly staff with nice food at reasonable prices. Changed hands a number of times since it was renovated as a Holt's pub, but remains a nice place to eat with a really nice outside area to sit in the sunshine.

Fantastic food,great portions perfectly cooked 5*

Service friendly and prompt. Parking easy and plentiful. You will need a good appetite to eat the servings. Good pub food. Well cooked. A very good experience. Thank you.

Visited while on a weekend break, greeted as soon as we got there, seated straight away, drinks order taken just after we sat at our table, food was amazing! Staff really helpful and friendly. Went there based on the excellent reviews so here's another! Lovely old place with a great atmosphere and really reasonable prices. Very impressed.
