Lovely old pub in central location. Mid-November is rather quiet, so it wasn't too busy. The menu was a little bit limited but I think that's quite normal in all pubs in Rye at this time of year (off-peak). I had the halloumi and veg burger with fries which was tasty and nicely presented. Attentive staff and overall nice and friendly.

Really old and cosy pub with tons of character. Olde worlde on the inside and a lovely listeria laden drinking terrace outside.

I had a good experience in Old Bell Rye. They have beautiful garden, nice burgers, and reasonable prices. Bartender was quite friendly. You can also find some greek testes there too. I definitely recommend it

The oldest pub in Rye! Great time. Food was piping hot and delicious. Wide variety on the menu and the barman was kind and helpful. I choose a pizza which was amazing.

Wow the burgers are fantastic. We had a classic with cheese and a bbq bacon. The best we have had for a long time. The place itself is really nice, we sat inside but they have a small area outside as well.
