A Pub with History and Heart

Tucked in the storybook village of Kersey

The Bell Inn, Kersey

The Bell Inn is a 14th century gastropub where history hangs in the air and adventure waits around every corner. Timber-framed cottages lean like old friends along the lane, the iconic ford (“The Splash”) ripples through the middle of the street. This isn’t just a place to eat – it’s a place to roam, to linger, and to feel something real.

Tradition with a Twist

The Bell doesn’t follow trends – it follows instinct. We blend centuries-old charm with a rebellious edge, creating a space where locals, wanderers, farmers, foodies, and free spirits all find their place at the table. There’s a fire in the hearth, a local ale in your glass, and the promise of something memorable on every plate.

Start with an Adventure

Kersey is a rambler’s dream. Footpaths lead through patchwork fields, and quiet lanes that haven’t changed in centuries. Whether you’re pausing to admire the wonky beauty of our medieval homes or gazing up at the majesty of St Mary’s Church, it’s a walk that stirs the soul.

End with a Feast

Back at The Bell, boots by the door, it’s time to settle in. Our menu is rooted in quality and comfort – full of bold flavours, seasonal ingredients, and just the right amount of flair. This is refined food without the fuss, and a table for those who’ve earned it after a proper day out in the elements.

Whether you’re chasing history, craving nature, or just after a damn fine meal in a proper pub – Kersey is calling.
