No food served, proper beer pub with weekly music and evening events like Bingo and quiz.
A charmingly historic pub with beautiful old architecture, from its low beams to uneven floors. Beyond its age, the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming, creating a truly pleasant atmosphere. A great spot for history and hospitality!

Home vibes pub!
Great pub, have had a few good nights here. They have pool and darts but doesn?t have a ton of room to move around. The drinks are good, tad bit expensive. Only other complaint I have is the fact that I end up getting different quantities of a drink I always get, for the same price each time. So it?s always hit or miss.
They also have a cat..so that?s honestly why I come back. A game changer.

Pub quiz every Thursday from 8.30pm, gets your brains workingThe Eight Bells is supposedly 300 years old in the Arkell's tradition, which has a modern outlook as well as the traditional atmosphere of a popular 'local'.Families are always welcome here, dog friendlyIt's generally a quiet, relaxing place except on Friday nights when the pub provides a popular venue for live music of various kinds.

Great local pub, staff are great to our residents from Hyperion House. The resident who goes there regularly is extremely appreciative of the staff who support him. Thank you for your kindness.

Traditional English pub with friendly staff and a warm fireplace. I would live here if it was an option built in 1843.

Despite having 'Arkells Ales' on the outside, this is a lager-drinkers' pub. No draught ale at all, so had to accept a bottle. Saddening because it was otherwise a very nice pub.
