Sadly, the place has completely lost it's soul.
Before it was franchised to a 'Chef and Brewer', I was told it was the best pub in the area.

It is now "England Anywhere", saved only by it's location.

If you plan to visit, make sure the weather is good and take a seat in the large beer garden by the canal.

The food is what you would expect from a franchise establishment - lacking in imagination. About all I can say is that it's edible, overpriced and served without care.

The staff are simply business like, there's no personal touch at all.

A pity, because the location is perfect.

The Bell, Odiham

This is a VERY local pub, but friendly all the same. If you happen to visit on a warm day, the location in the historic Bury is worth it alone.

It's the type of pub where there are more locals than visitors, which makes it interesting, but possibly intimidating for some people.

The service is friendly, the food is traditional - in fact, the entire pub experience is a blast from the past.
