See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Dating in parts from the 17th century, this dog friendly pub is to be found opposite the village church. Originally built as two cottages, the pub has been extended over the years. The pub was called the Five Bells, but when the church bells were recast in 1803 and six bells installed instead, the pub changed its name. At the end of the 19th century, the last Manorial Courts of Cudworth met in the Six Bells. The interior rambles around the bar to provide a number of cosy areas on different levels. There is a small area down from the bar facing the church which is known as the Belfry Bar and further away, down a few steps to the left of the bar is a tile-floored area with an inglenook fireplace. The pub does have a second fireplace, but this is still hidden behind boards. The main bar area has floorboards and beams. At the rear is a dining room (although food can be eaten in the other areas of the pub); very good homemade food is served. Outside there are tables to the front and side and a large garden with children's play equipment to the rear.
