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

Dating from 1635, this well-beamed Fuller's tenancy was previously a coaching stop on the route from London to Brighton, and the former stables now house the pub's toilets. Until a few years ago there was a hanging tree in the garden that was reputedly used for dispatching witches! The bell from which the pub takes its name, came from a London church, and weighs around a quarter of a ton, and is displayed by the front door. Fuller's bought the pub in the autumn of 2004 and sympathetically refurbished it, opening out a fine inglenook fireplace which now boasts a cosy log fire. The bar area has wooden floors covered in rugs and solid wooden tables throughout. Although the emphasis is definitely on food, with a restaurant area at the side, the Bell provides a welcoming stop for drinkers also and dogs are very welcome. Although there is only one bar, there are a number of separate drinking and dining areas. The guest beer is likely to be a Fuller's, Gales or Dark Star beer. Outside the back door is a covered area with lighting.
