The Bell Inn

The Bell Inn, set in the lovely historic village of Horndon on the Hill, is an award winning 15th Century Coaching Inn, run by the same family for over 75 years.  The warm hub-bub of conversation in the two busy bars confirms that this is a ‘proper’ pub.  There's an open fire, numerous ales on hand pump and a top-class wine by the glass list.

In the restuarant, our menu changes daily based on the freshest seasonal and local produce that our head chef can source.  Upstairs, and in the Georgian building next door but one, we have 15 individually-styled bedrooms which are sympathetic to the history of the buildings, but with all the mod cons.

In the Sunday Times 2010 Food list, The Bell Inn was voted one of the 10 best gastropubs in the UK.

"This is a proper inn, warmly welcoming.  Stop for a pint of cask ale in the lively bar, then potter into the restaurant for sensational food."  -Alastair Sawday's
