The Bell, Shottery

Unwelcoming and unfriendly. My son had a tantrum in there and we were told if he didn�t stop we would have to leave as he was annoying the other customers.
I was shot dirty looks from across the bar by the landlord!
I used to often go to the Bell before I had a child, however I won�t be doing so again.
If pubs don�t want children on their premises then they should state that clearly, not make me feel so uncomfortable that I have to leave.
My meal was nice, however I ordered off the childrens menu and was surprised that the childrens dish I ordered did not come with any vegetables, expecially when there is such a focus on this.
I have no problems with pubs excluding familes if they wish to do so, however don�t market yourself as a local family friendly village pub with a childrens menu if this is not the reality.
The pub must have changed hands It has been over 2 years since I last went there, it always was a friendly and welcoming place to go� now it isn�t!
