The Eight Bells, Jevington

I think some of the comments about the locals are unjustified. I have been here on numerous occasions, and they have always been subdued and polite, and as much as people now seem to dislike the idea of real pubs with smoky air, only half full, and containing quirky locals, they ARE still drinking establishments, and the eight bells cleverly mixes gastropub with a good old english country pub atmosphere. From bangers and mash to carpaccio, from wine tasting to country music and from walkers to businessmen this pub has something for everyone, but yes...if you come here expecting it to cater solely for your groups individual needs, you are going to have to expect some other client�le.

It is a well run and well staffed pub, and has been previously mentioned the staff will go above and beyond to ensure everything is satisfactory, they have adapted the meals for my (admittedly) fussy appetite, they have come across warm, friendly and eager to know about you. During one visit I even had a conversation regarding astrophysics. 10/10 everytime, and this will continue to be my first stop whenever I am in the area.
