We took advantage of the weekend sunshine and sat in the Bell's lovely large patio area to have our lunch. There is a reasonably large menu available on a Sunday but we went straight for the roasts.
I had beef at £10.95 which came with all the trimmings. Loads of meat still a bit pink and a mild horseradish cream sauce to accompany it.
The summer veg was cooked nicely so that they still retained their flavour and texture and the potatoes were nice and crispy. Faultless.
The lavender scented creme brulee was served with some stewed berries and a short bread biscuit. A perfect combination of flavours and textures.
Not the cheapest but really enjoyable and only a few quid more than a Sunday carvery- worth it in my opinion.
Service was friendly but a but over zealous with three members of staff visiting the table in 5 minutes to check if everything was ok... this drives me mad as it can be quite disruptive to the meal and is so easily solved with a bit of organisation. This was the only irk in an otherwise fantastic meal.
