"We popped here for something to eat, knowing that the pub runs an Italian restaurant. The food was excellent (I had the rib eye steak and my other half had the halibut), and the service was second to none. Really personable folks who provided a...professional service throughout. I think the only issue for this place is the branding. Its not overly clear as to whether it is The Bell Inn (eg a pub) or an Italian restaurant. The interior still has a strong legacy of the pub it used to be (traditonal bar and the old tartan carpet) but with a few signs they’re starting to add a few touches to make it feel more Mediterranean (vines and fairy lights in the ceiling panels). But certainly from the outside, and the website, you might still be a little confused as to what this place is. I think if these guys can get the marketing right, this place could flourish. There are no other Italian restaurants in Kford, and with the local Wetherspoons inevitably cornering the pub grub market, The Bell could become a little haven for those wanting something a bit different, intimate and authentic. They’ve got the basics right the food and service are spot on and its a succinct little menu. They just need push it on and go full pelt Italian with both its interior and branding. I’m guessing they’re doing this, but one step at a time. Keep up the good work guys."
