Food and Entertainment

Run by a small and dedicated team, the Eight Bells has a great community atmosphere where new visitors are welcomed with open arms. In the summer months you will be invited to join us for our BBQ's, picnics, street parties and festivals, all held during the long warm summer evenings in our terrace and pub garden. For those cold winter nights we invite you in to warm your hands by our roaring fire and enjoy a glass of wine, ale, beer or soft drink or maybe even a hot toddy. If its food you are after, then we have a gourmet seasonal menu to set your taste buds tingling. Our cosy dining room is just the place for a romantic meal with your better half or for a special evening with friends and family.

If it’s a country pub atmosphere that you are after, then why not grab a table in our main bar.  For entertainment we have traditional pub games such as darts, draughts, cards and more. Or, if you fancy something a little more lively, pop in for our Wednesdays quiz nights. All new teams are welcome.
