The Bell, Wendens Ambo

How a village pub should be! Relaxed, unspoiled and friendly. A one bar pub dating from the 16th century, the beamy bar is dominated by a large inglenook fire that Im told burns throughout the winter.There were 4 ales on draught, Wherry, Adnams, JHB, I sampled a pint of Crouch Vale Black Water Mild which was very acceptable.
A black board advertised a selection of 8 scrumpy ciders from Westons, Thatchers and Gwynt y Ddraig served from the cellar. The menu looked homemade and hearty, offering home made scotch eggs, Lancashire hot pot and such like. I enjoyed their Welsh Rarebit made with wherry. I traveled to the pub by train as the station is only a short walk away, nice not have to think about driving!
