This isn't something that I'd normally do less than two years after the previous visit, but we live in strange times so, why not?
My original report (from September 2019) can be found here. This is what the pub looked like at lunchtime on Sunday 28th July 2019.
Less than two years had passed by and we were back at lunchtime on Sunday 23rd May 2021.
The first thing you notice is that it is busier despite certain restrictions still being in place (and despite the cool, damp weather!). Then you notice the sign which says just 'The Bell' in a more traditional style. And finally, the new owners (I assume!) have removed the last vestiges of the ivy from around the front door.
I certainly wasn't expecting such a complete change of signage in less than two years...that would normally take closer to ten years for a village pub like The Bell. The Sunday lunch was good, the Carlsberg was cold and it felt like a local village pub/restaurant. All-in-all, well worth a visit!
