Old Five Bells in Slough

Ah, the Old Five Bells – it's one of those pubs that just warms your heart from the moment you walk in. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff really shine through; folks have raved about how attentive and welcoming they are, with managers like Laura making everyone feel special. The food's another highlight – think delicious, hearty options that cater to all tastes, including some brilliant vegan choices that come out piping hot and full of flavour. It's got that classic historic feel mixed with modern comforts, and the beer garden with its outdoor play area is an absolute winner if you're out with the family or just soaking up the sun with friends. On the flip side, it does get lively, so you might find yourself waiting a tad longer for your meal when it's packed, and with prices on the moderate side, it's worth budgeting for. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening or a sunny afternoon pint – I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the Slough area, as long as you go in with realistic expectations for a popular spot.
