    Not been to The Bells before, visiting my home town of Staines for the first time in 20 years. Quiet location on Church Street, away from the main town restaurants. We were not rushed to order and it was easy to set up a tab for our group of 4. Just one waiting staff, but she was brilliant, serving at the bar, taking food orders and delivering them too. Food was excellent and we weren't rushed on to leave. Settling up we were allowed to pay separately within our group and were happy to add on gratuity.

    Haven’t visited since March and think it’s been taken over, the lady that served us was efficient and friendly, food was good although the monkfish was slightly over but the sauce was absolutely stunning, puddings were delicious and pleased that they do a good selection of zero alcohol drinks, would definitely revisit and hope Howard the cat finds a new home ( I would of taken him home if I could of )

    We booked here for our evening meal as we were staying in Staines. We were welcomed when we arrived straight away. We were asked where we would like to sit which was wonderful as you're not very often asked where you would like to sit. The staff were all lovely and professional. We both had mains and desserts and we thoroughly enjoyed everything we had. We would both recommend The Bells.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to The Bells and that our team made you feel welcome from the moment you arrived. It’s great to hear you enjoyed your meals and desserts, and we’re especially pleased that being able to choose your preferred table added to your experience. Thank you for recommending us — we really appreciate your support and hope to welcome you both back to The Bells again soon! 🥂🐾

    Dinner in their garden on a summer's evening - the DJ was a little too loud, but once there were more people, the volume came down to a better level. Good food and okay prices - they can make a decent Aperol, too, which most pubs can't.
    The BellsResponded on 26 July 2026
    Hi Jeremy, Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed your dinner in our garden and appreciated the food and Aperol. We apologise for the initial volume of the DJ and are pleased it improved as the evening went on. We hope to see you again soon! Cheers, The Bells Team
