I must say, I 'm posting this review reluctantly: I don 't want The Bell to get too busy, because I will definitely be back. The food is excellent, in a whole different league to regular pub fayre. If it wasn 't so plentiful, robust, and unfussy, I 'd say it was a gastronomic experience but that kinda language is for places with fancy hipster staff and too many coffee choices. The Bell appears as a regular country locals pub, but it disguises the master (Andre at work behind the scenes. His unfussy style of cooking, with superb local ingredients, really sets this place apart from well pretty much any other country pub I 've been to for AGES... and I 've been to a LOT. I had Scallops to start...
Visited The Cropthorne Bell for the first time today with my wife and daughter. We popped in with the intention of having a quick bite to eat-but ended up staying for 2 hours and having starters, mains and desserts-drinks and coffee! Was the best Sunday roast we have had in a pub for years-Andre clearly cares about the food he prepares and serves-so much attention to detail-my wife is GF-and they were really accommodating-serving GF mint sauce, mustard Yorkshire Puds Nut Roast etc, Coffee served in proper cafetière-Apparently Andre has worked around the world as a chef-and it is absolutely evident in the delicious food served. Jane was super friendly and attentive from the 1st minute-thank y...
I just wanted to provide a quick update on my review from April: The Cropthorne Bell is still fantastic. I was fortunate enough to discover that they were open on a Monday, as they were catering for another group. I made a reservation and brought a couple of friends who appreciate a delicious pub meal. The food was exceptional, as always. One of my friends thoroughly enjoyed the calves' liver, while a few of us opted for the veal, which was cooked perfectly. My partner's homemade burger was also delicious. I started my meal with some rollmop herrings, which were outstanding. The ale was well-kept, and there was a fantastic selection of ciders available. It's great to see that they are still...
After our first trip today we already can't wait to go back! The service is fabulous and the couple who run the pub are lovely. We couldn't fault the service or food and really enjoyed the experience with our family and little one. The pub feels homely and cosy, a proper traditional pub. As a gluten free diner the service for this was refreshing, they make you feel reassured and can offer nearly everything gluten free as they make everything fresh. They recommend booking in and are even happy to take requests! We would highly recommend and can't wait to go back soon for a Sunday lunch next time.

We have driven past the Bell many times on our way to somewhere, so today we decided to stop and check it out. What a delight ! A wonderfully warm reception; a new drink produced locally; and an excellent lunch whilst they catered for a local club’s AGM. They could not have been more helpful with my lady’s allergy requirements. We will most definitely be back. Already looking to this Sunday’s lunch. Amazing what we can discover under our nose xxx
We visited The Bell Inn on Saturday evening for dinner. My partner had the pigeon starter and I had the pork belly. The portions were generous and the food delightful as well as well priced. We were well received by the hosts, The Bell has a welcoming atmosphere even live music! It’s a shame that there were few people in that night, I would definitely recommend a visit.
I visited this restaurant with my Polish partner recently for his first roast dinner. It was also my first time trying the roast here and we both had a wonderful experience. We even brought our miniature dachshund with us and were made to feel very welcome. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be returning for more in the future.
We were looking for a decent place to eat near Evesham on a Friday evening. Having looked at Trip Advisor we decided to try The Cropsthorne Bell. What a happy choice. Lovely cosy pub and Jane and staff were so friendly and welcoming. The beer was good and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. Definitely a place to revisit.

The hosts at this restaurant are excellent and very knowledgeable about dietary needs. They ensured that people with coeliac disease were well taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy our meal without any worries.
Fabulous fresh food and huge portions! Wonderful welcome from Jane for our impromptu bank holiday Monday lunch we will definitely be returning!
