The Bell At West Overton

I never really write reviews but after my experience here I had to! my husband and I came here on a whim on a Tuesday as most pubs around the area are not open on this day which left us bummed out and hungry. was surprised to walk in and have a lovely young lady named Tara to come to take us on for lunch. the pub did seem a little short-staffed for the number of people in the establishment but she handled it great regardless and still greeted everyone with a big smile and had good knowledge of the beers on draft such as the 2 local ales which I was very impressed by. even offering 'tasters ' before we bought a pint. she even took the time to talk to us, asking about how our week had gone and...

Arrived in the restaurant, received no greeting from the staff and were left waiting until I forcibly caught a waitresses attention and she brought us to our table. After being seated and waiting a good 15 minutes to place our order we were informed there was no lamb left. Then after ordering the beef we were told there was no red meat dishes available (beef, lamb, pork). The waitress seemed genuinely to not care and just stated that the meat order that had arrived the day before had been incorrect. She offered us 10% off our meal but at this stage I decided to cut our losses and leave. As there was no phone reception I asked the waitress book us a table at the Waggon Horses, which she did....

Birthday meal visit on 28th Oct turned out to be very disappointing sadly … having been before and had good food and service we were looking forward to our time there. However a series of inadequate things amounted to an feeling of surprise and disappointment. Over priced … inadequate portion sizes and second rate service all led us to feeling we wouldn’t be returning again… we appreciate times have been hard but ripping people off with measly portions is quite frankly taking the p…. ! Cannot recommend at this time. Pull your socks up please!!

Now reopened as The Burj at the Bell and sister restaurant to The Burj at Wanstead near Swindon. The staff were super attentive, and the food was excellent. Our visit was just a few days from the re-opening, and they have thoughtfully re-organised the layout whilst retaining a bar section (during week days) which seems to go down well with the locals! The dishes are very authentic. Should be a great success. Reserva una mesa ahora

We recently stopped for an impromptu lunch at The Bell and were very impressed. They had a large group to serve so gave us a clear wait time, which turned out to be very accurate. The service was friendly and attentive, the dining room is nicely laid out and we loved our burgers which were of an excellent quality. We will definitely eat here again (especially as central Marlborough is often rammed)!

Lovely seating area by the window, decorated with cozy cushions. Staff were lovely and friendly and very professional. Plant burger very tasty and salad lovely and fresh. Also recommend the digestive biscuit ice-cream and the mango cheesecake...YUMMY! Food was beautifully presented. Everything lovely and clean, even the loos. Had a really lovely experience, thank you B

Went in because the Wagon Horses was shut and what a great idea. Lovely little pub/restaurant. The young lady said Tuesday was good because it didn't get busy! How wrong she was!!! Despite the influx of half the population of Wiltshire they managed wonderfully well and the food was lovely. Top marks for both the bar and kitchen staff.

Arrived expecting to find a pub and found it had changed hands two weeks earlier and reopened as an Indian restaurant we were obviously among the very first customers! We were given a warm welcome, the food was absolutely excellent and the service attentive. I would highly recommend the Goan fish curry, mild and deliciously seasoned. Reserva una mesa ahora

Having tried to book Sunday lunch at three other pubs in the vicinity of Marlborough which were all fully booked, my friend and I were pleased that The Bell at West Overton had space for us. His roast beef and my roast lamb were tender and tasty and served with plenty of vegetables. We would definitely go there again.
