The Blue Bell Inn

Located in Smallwood, a lovely rural hamlet which dates back as far as the 13th Century, The Blue Bell Inn could hardly have more fitting surroundings. An alehouse since 1727, it has certainly stood the test of time and remains a much-loved meeting place and watering hole to this day. The turn of the 21st Century has seen some significant changes to this long-standing establishment though; no longer is it just the great selection of real ales, lagers and wines that people flock here for - the wholesome, home-cooked fare draws in guests from far beyond the hamlet's borders.

The addition of The Blue Bell's delightfully rustic restaurant area has proved an exceptional success, and no wonder; with a menu of classic pub cuisine, freshly prepared and served with a friendly smile, The Blue Bell Inn ticks every box. The likes of homemade fishcakes sit alongside tender steaks and creamy stroganoff in the list of main meals, while the snacks and light bites make great lunchtime options. There's also a pretty beer garden offering additional space in which adults can relax in the sun with a refreshing drink or satisfying meal, while the kids make the most of the play area. Who could possibly pass near this charming country pub without popping in
