The Bell Inn in Rugby

Ah, The Bell Inn – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Hillmorton. From what I've gathered chatting about it, the staff really go the extra mile with their warm welcomes and attentive service, never hovering but always on hand if you need them. The grub is a highlight too; think delicious, freshly prepared meals with locally sourced bits that make everything taste that bit more authentic, whether you're after a classic breakfast or something from the grill. It's brilliant for groups with different needs, as they handle allergies and such with real care and knowledge. Plus, the prices are fair, and you get great value on their specials, which is always a win for a casual night out. On the downside, it's not flawless – I've heard tales of the odd order going awry, like bacon that's not quite right or chips that are way too salty, and sometimes the portions don't quite match up. Still, with such a solid overall vibe and a 4.5 rating buzzing about, I'd say it's well worth a visit for a pint and a bite, as long as you keep expectations realistic. All in all, it's a friendly spot that does most things right, and that's what makes it a go-to for me and the mates.
