We booked two weeks before hand so they knew we were coming. We ordered our food and when it arrived there were no vegetables, this is something they should have told us when we ordered. How can you have a roast without vegetables. Although the food looked impressive on the plate that is where it ended. The food was tepid at best, the potatoes were very hard. The bar area where we sat was very cold. The young lady who served however was very apologetic but it was too late. To add insult to injury it was not cheap. Would not recommend or go back even if we were offered a free meal.

Have dined here a few times and always had what i thought was a fair priced great meal but this time the prices seem to have increased. We had a roast dinner which consisted of 2 thin slices of meat and only 2 roast potatoes with limited gravy only on the meat - for £28 I think this was pretty expensive. Not sure we will be rushing back again.

The food at THe Six Bells was delicious. We chose fish and chips - the fish was lightly battered, with very good chips - steak tender and tasty, cooked exactly as we like it, and a great chicken hamburger. The crumble dessert was lovely - four of us shared one with ice cream and one with custard - but wished we had ordered one each! Service was charming and unobtrusive and altogether the meal was great value.
