“ Nipped in here on a Sunday lunchtime for a quick drink. Loved the vibe of the place and the decor! We ended up getting some nibbles from the bar snacks menu as the menu sounded amazing. We weren't wrong, the food was great! We definitely want to come back to try the full menu. Friendly staff too. Great little pub! ”

“ We had our Sunday lunch club pay a visit here last Sunday, the service was excellent, posh prawn cocktail was yummy, my belly pork was delicious, our friends who had beef ( one pink, one well done) my husband had the pork. All served by happy, friendly staff and the food was just perfect. We will be returning. Also the house champagne is amazing. ”
“ As a hauler who travels frequently, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting The Middle Bell in Barton Under Needwood several times since its takeover in March. Each visit has been a delightful experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the owners truly bring the place to life with their enthusiasm and friendliness. It’s clear they are passionate about creating a welcoming atmosphere for all their guests. Now, let’s talk about the food! The pizzas here are absolutely delicious—crispy crust, fresh toppings, and bursting with flavor. I recently tried the belly pork, and it was nothing short of delightful. Cooked to perfection, it was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, making it one of the best dishes I’ve enjoyed in a while. The service is consistently great as well. The staff are attentive and make sure your dining experience is enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend The Middle Bell for anyone in the area, whether you're a local or just passing through. It’s a gem that deserves recognition, and I look forward to many more visits in the future! ”
“ Lovely old pub and very friendly bar staff. The pizzas are amazing, we had the Steakhouse pizza which had big pieces of steak on, served very hot and tasted wonderful. The pub is very clean and tidy and all covid rules are in place and a very safe environment. We will definitely be back. ”
“ The food was absolutely delicious in lovely surroundings, but it was the staff who made the visit memorable. They went out of their way to help and they were genuinely happy, helpful, and kind. We will be going back again soon to taste more of what appealed from the menu! ”
