About This Pub

Ah, The Bell Inn – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper British gem, tucked away in Worcester. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the place nails that cosy, traditional atmosphere with snug areas perfect for a chat and even board games to keep things entertaining. The beers are a highlight too; they've got a nice range of ales and lagers at prices that make you think, 'Why not have another?' And let's not forget the beer garden – it's a lovely spot for a summer evening, or even for joining in on karaoke nights where everyone's up for a sing and a laugh. The staff are usually spot on, making you feel right at home, and if you're after a bite or even a room to stay in, it sounds like they've got that covered nicely. But, and I hate to say it, there are a couple of downsides that've cropped up in chats; some people have had run-ins with staff who were a bit sharp or mishandled situations, which is a real shame because it could put a dampener on the experience. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4.3, it's clear most folks have a cracking time here, so I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area – just go in with your eyes open and you'll likely have a belter of an evening.

A really nice pub, however the staff were rude and aggressive towards me. They use cctv in the wrong way and blamed me for nothing, therefore ‘banning’ me for life. Other than the two rude ladies, a good pub with a good atmosphere.
