In 1854, The Five Bells was a humble establishment where local farmers would tether their horses to the fence while they enjoyed a drink inside. Its cosy interior had room for only a handful of tables, and the beer barrels were kept cool using wet sacking beneath the bar. Fast forward to the 21st century, and The Five Bells warmly invites guests to enjoy the charm of days gone by with modern day comforts. Now, the establishment combines the allure of old world ambience with contemporary hospitality.
