Amazing..... food, staff, atmosphere, a great night was had by all. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

We have just had a great Caribbean meal at the bell in benington our first visit we will definetly be going again. The owners Rashieda and Raffie were very welcoming.

Simply delicious. The style of the food is less intense than most Indian foods, but just as flavoursome. I had the chicken creole, which is marinated chicken in a delectable, aromatic spiced sauce. It is slow cooked, but maintains its texture. We also had rice,...chickpeas and potatos, plantain (which is fried banana that goes well with the main food) and roti bread (which is very thin bread). For dessert I had pineapple upside-down cake, which is unlike other upside-down cakes as others are very heavy and stodgy, but this is very light and fluffy. The staff are extremely friendly, welcoming and engaging. All of the food is homecooked to perfection. I would highly recommend The Bell for a fantastic meal.More

What a fantastic experience. All the family enjoyed a variety of delicious, plentiful Creole dishes. Every plate was devoured, with audible gasps of delight. Our favourites were the Creole chicken, Creole fish and goat, with plantain on the side. The hosts were truly welcoming. In...all a most excellent evening. Highly recommend.More

After a winter walk 11 of us had lunch here, great menu, pub usual and Trinidadian specialities like the popular goat curry and creole chicken. Food was so good most people had the speciality puddings, this is very unusual for our group. They don't usually...do Wedmesday lunch but do do special arrangements for groups. Afterwards some of us went outside to see the public seating and the extensive garden and escape chickens!More

Was just driving by and saw they were serving Carribbean good so dropped in for lunch. Old pub, Freehold, listed building with original murals on walls above fire place. Friendly couple run the pub serving homemade Carribbean food and very welcoming. We had curried goat,...creole beef, creole rice and a lentil dish, which was nice and great value. We were the only customers, after speaking with the landlady she said they get more customers in the evenings and weekends when they mostly host events or passing cyclists. Really lovely people, who filled us in on the history of the pub. Made a change from the normal chain pubs and was an interesting afternoon. Lovely pub garden out the back and good parking.More

Absolutely outstanding food at the bell alongside splendid hospitality. Ravva and family all very kind and friendly. A hidden gem in the beautiful English countryside. Lovely beer garden at the back with plenty of space. Would highly reccomend for something different and authentic. A real...treat. I will definitely be going back. 5 stars all round.More

We visited as a family today and were very pleasantly surprised by this local gem! The Trinidadian food was delicious and freshly cooked, lots of curries and creole food. We ordered almost one of everything and loved every dish. The staff were really friendly and...very good at recommending the right amount of dishes for our party of seven. Would definitely recommend the cassava and coconut pudding which was a bit different, but very tasty!More

Been here several times and never fails to please. Such a friendly welcome from Raffie and food was fab. Loved the aubergine starter.

It was 6.15 in the evening and we had just finished a 6 miles walk. We had noticed at the start of our walk opposite the church in Benington an A board which was advertising caribbean food at the Bell pub in the village. We...decided to eat there and were not disappointed. A very friendly welcome was followed by a delicious meal complemented by a tasty local real ale. Mine host Raffie kept us entertained whilst his wife Rashieda who is the chef was cooking creole/caribbean in the kitchen. A lovely pub with delightful owners and wonderful food - we shall return ! Thank you both. John, Jane and ColinMore

Myself and my boyfriend went to ‘the bell’ for an early dinner. Walked in and felt so welcome and was chatting away with the owner who is so friendly. The food ‘WOW’ the chicken curry was cooked beautifully along with rice and roti. My boyfriend...had the lamb and said it was great. We were offered some hot sauces which was great for the food we were eating and didnt need to ask for anything as it was already offered or already given. To join the great mains was a great dessert. Great place. Would definitely recommend!More

My girlfriend and I have just got a place together in Knebworth early June and have been meaning to come here for a while, what can I say it was well worth the wait! Benington is a lovely little area. The food was impeccable and...so was the service. The landlord was really friendly! I’d recommend the Lamb Curry, Roti and Caylpso Rice! The Coconut brownie was a bit special too! Will definitely come back very soon 👍🏽More
