Great food, good drink selection and attentive staff and management. Very clean tidy and organised. TVs and sports in view from all angles. Very bright and open decor.

We took over half of the pub to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary and it was a fantastic venue! The manger and staff really were amazing and couldnt do more to help us make the night a success! The Manager was great and they...let us decorate the whole place and really make it our own. I couldn’t recommend the Eight Belles more!More

Used to love it here. It looks untidy from the outside and grubby on the inside. I thought when the new owners established themselves they would bring it back to life. So sad. We are locals and would rather travel elsewhere - says a lot....Had to wait. While for the, to even find wine. Really gone downhill.More

We actually came to this pub for a meal but the new owner does not serve between 3pm and 6pm which unfortunately meant no food but she was very friendly and showed us round the pub, my friend drank in here fifty years ago when...on a training course.More

Nice pub but don’t bother coming here to watch rugby. All but one of the many screens are showing soccer during the England - Wales game. A bit disappointing as the website pretends that the pub is rugby friendly.

Dropped in for a couple of pints during the day and couldn't have asked for a friendlier welcome. Excellent and chatty landlady behind the bar, great service and kindliness. Spotless well kept pub. Wish I'd brought my darts with me to have a go on...the very well lit dart board. Next time!More

Recently refurbished, this is an even nicer pub now, whether you’re looking for just drinks or a decent meal. There’s loads of space inside with large tables for groups plus a sizeable garden area where you can also order food. In the summer it’s great...sitting outside and despite being on the main road it’s still relaxing. Inside there’s plenty of screens for watching sport and everywhere is clean, including the toilets which are pretty nice. The range of drinks offered is good and the prices reasonable for the setting. Bar staff are nice, there’s never too long a wait for service and it’s got a friendly welcoming vibe. It’s a great asset to the area and I highly recommend popping by!More

Now re-opened under new management, so I dropped in for a pint and a bite. Choice of three (draught) beers, but all similar to each other, so had two different kinds of Fuller's beers and both were well-kept and quite drinkable. For food I chose...fish & chips with mushy peas. Freshly-cooked and quite pleasant - a good-size piece of fish, with crispy batter, though the fish flesh wasn't as firm as I'd expect; "proper" chips wre well cooked and very nice; mushy peas nothing special. Laurie Lee (named after her mother's love of "Cider with Rosie") was very pleasant and gave us quick service. A pleasant experience but nothing exciting.More

Went on opening night under new management, pub was busy as had been shut a while for refurb.. Issues with electrics meant glass washer broke and rather than use disposables the decision was made to shut the pub at 9.00 p.m. Despite being really busy,...bit of a waste of return taxi there and then onto another pub. Service slow but to be fair to the management they probably didn't expect it to be that busy as they had an opening event the following the night. Other than garden being a bit bigger and a lick of paint couldn't see much difference but didn't go right round to the lounge side as it was a nice evening.More

Very rude bar staff was made to feel unwelcome ruined a family day out advertising food but was told there was none had to settle for crisps have used the pub occasionally over the years but will not be going back

Slow service, unhappy looking staff. Not the best food, had to return some plates as they was cold, then they arrived with fresh meals that was only just a bit warmer. No check back to see if we were happy. 2 other tables had complained...for other reasons.More

Excited to try new menu and see new styled pub,in summary food was a huge disappointment, presentation dreadful, long wait, served at different times, frozen microwaved style dinners, small portions, price did not match what was served and cannot recommend. Ramsay would have had a...field day and created a storm. Please by all means pop in for drinks in terms of food bag of crisps probably best option!More
