The Bell, Odell

Good traditional English pubs are becoming a rarity these days but this pub is up to the challenge.
You always receive a warm welcome when entering and on cold days, an extra warm welcome comes from the roaring log fires in the pub.
The cask ales (Greene King Abbot, IPA etc) are handled with loving care and kept to the correct serving temperature and the Landlord has immense pride in the quality of the Guinness he serves which has won him awards for his endeavours.
In some pubs food can be an after thought, but not here as they now have their own Quality Chef employed to make the visit even more worthwhile. An extensive and varied menu is provided with a daily specials board, serving food more at restaurant standards rather than at just pub grub value.
The picturesque setting of the Bell, a short walk away from the Harrold and Odell Country Park, makes this a gem of a pub set amid the quaint village of Odell. It has a garden leading down to the river Ouse, car parking at front and rear and even a welcome for good behaved dogs.
Of all the Public Houses my wife and I have frequented in the area, the Bell always peals and calls us back. Do visit yourself.
