Expensive but average food. Staff pleasant but everything was a chore. One person serving 15 people while others just tried to look busy or important. Thus all dining etiquette had to be abandoned or the food would go cold. As one person finished their meal, another person just got theirs. Also serves the smallest large glass of wine ever seen....

We visited on Easter Monday without a reservation but they managed to fit us in. The service by the staff was very good and the lady who served us was very good and very professional. The food though was patchy. The chicken mushroom and asparagus open pie, and the sharing platter were good. The same could not be said for... More

Stayed in 2nd floor front room in the building opposite restaurant. Secondary glazing not up to stopping traffic noise. £44 per night for single occupancy. Not much traffic after midnight but at 7 am the vehicles were some 3 seconds apart. Rooms at the rear may be better in this respect. Room Ok but smelt of air freshener or similar.... More

My partner and I arrived at the Bell in December 2011 for a company Christmas dinner in Woburn. The room was right next to reception (nearest to the noisy high street) and seemed pleasant enough. The reception was very welcoming. It wasn't until later when we used the bathroom in the room that we noticed a strong smell of urine... More
