The Bell at Skenfrith

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch here. Pan fried salmon to start, followed by the roast beef. Lovely rural location next to Skenfrith Castle. Attentive service and an altogether lovely venue. The food is quite expensive, but this is the most delicious Sunday Roast I've had since I don't know when!

Spent a night here for my Wife's birthday. Beautiful location with a real sense of 'getting away'. The Bell has a lovely, welcoming vibe and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Evening meal was fantastic and I thought portion sizes were great with every dish being on point. Would definitely recommend and will visit again, whether that be for another stay or just to visit the restaurant. Cracking pint of Butty Bach there too!

Met up with visiting friends from the Isle of Wright with discerning palate who enjoy good food served in good surroundings and this is exactly what’s on offer at The Bell in Skenfrith. Totally enjoyed my very delicious pork tenderloin dish and my friends their Brill.The portions were absolutely right and the dishes were a feast for the eyes as well as our stomachs. Surroundings exuded elegance,luxury, charm comfort and was spacious. The staff were friendly, helpful, inviting, polite and courteous.service was prompt. It would be an absolute treat to visit the bell again very soon and its such a lovely feeling we all shared.My compliments and thanks to the Chef and the team at the Bell for making it a perfect lunch date.

Lovely place, found this via the Michelin app, under the “on a budget “ section, we like this category, great food at a reasonable price and the food was really good with a nice selection of wines.Great service and our room was lovely. We definitely want to come back.

Reading the feedback on here from the Bell's customers, it seems that the majority of reviews are from folk who have stayed in the hotel, or dined in the restaurant. |Positive overall, but these customers are paying premium prices, and can rightly expect the first class service they receive||But what if you just want to pop in for a pint?||Myself and my fishing partner have been into the Bell a few times this season for a beer after a day's fly fishing, and the reception has always been friendly, courteous and welcoming. Despite being two soggy individuals, quite obviously not dressed up to the nines, the barmaid's cheerful smile and request to record our day's sport in the hotel's fishing log book put us at ease.||Skenfrith seems to be an exceptionally friendly village anyway; local residents that we encounter during the day all say hello and stop to have a chat.||The season is now over, but very much looking forward to my next pint of Butty Bach at this delightful hostelry.

Our fourth stay in this little gem of a hotel. Maria and Joseph (and their hard-working and attentive team) have created a wonderful atmosphere here by the banks of the beautiful river Morrow. The welcome is warm, the food spectacular and the rooms clean, cosy and imaginatively decorated. The ideal spot for exploring this lovely region and for anyone considering taking on the 'four castle' walking trails.

It ended up here as we went to look at the castle. Thought might pop in for Sunday lunch.. . . . . . . .... .... Bit to pricey for us, so luckily, Quickly got out of there before the doors opened. It may be an absolute gem but not for us

Fantastic location and great rooms. Superb service and staff. Some of the best food I've ever experienced....and well kept real ale!!! Nice cat called Freddie.

My family planned a circular walk from where we were staying near Garway through Skenfrith about midday so we could get a pub lunch half way through our walk The pub is in the prettiest location by a river and near the ruins of Skenfrith castle It is a charming building and well decorated inside When we arrived it was very quiet and we were greeted by a waiter who didn't seem to know what he was doing. A few of the local ales were off as well which was a shame but we tried the two they had and they were delicious We just ordered mains. I got fish and chips and hands down this is the best I've had. Batter on the fish was delicious, triple cooked chips were cooked to perfection and well seasoned and their mushy peas were also very good. My bf got their twice baked cheese soufflé which was gorgeous and came with se very creamy mushrooms and broccoli. Parents went for two of the salads which were big portions with a lot of well cooked meat/ fish Overall the food here was very good and prices reasonable for a nice pub however it was a bit pretentious for a small village pub and staff weren't very welcoming Won't be going back because of the location but if you're in the area you've got a guaranteed good meal!
