Bell Inn
Award winning 17th century inn, providing quality food, outstanding service and a really good pint.
About us
Deep in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, The Bell Inn is an outstanding 17th century inn, complete with exposed beams, flagstone floors, oak furniture, open fireplaces…and a warm welcome.
The Bell Inn has been providing refreshment for over 300 years. According to local history, William Shakespeare was on his way back to Stratford upon Avon in the rain after meeting Drayton and Ben Jonson for a drink at The Bell in Welford, when he contracted fatal pneumonia! Luckily the roads are somewhat better these days, and we can always arrange a taxi for you to get home.

Not really one for writing reviews but felt compelled to on this occasion. Moved back to the area after a number of years and the food was absolutely gorgeous, just as I remember. However, I was really disappointed with how we were spoken to and treated. Appreciate not everything can be accommodated but there is a tone with which you can speak to people. And we were spoken to like something you’d find on the bottom of your shoe. They were very polite to the people on the next table to us, though. I was so embarrassed as I had brought a friend along and insisted we go there. Don’t think I’ll be returning in a hurry to be treated like that again.

After a day out in the Cotswolds decided to pop in for dinner, pre booked an hour before and glad we did as it was rather busy. The welcome was great and I wish the weather was on our side as the garden is beautiful. We sadly were seated near the kitchen door which led to a not so nice atmosphere with the door opening and closing. Service was swift and everyone was polite. The food was reasonably priced and all was great, the pie and chips had a massive pie and would easily be for 2. Would visit again, just seated somewhere else!

Ate twice here while in Stratford for a mini break. Very accommodating both times. Would recommend, as the food was lovely and very well presented.
