The Bell In Ticehurst - Wadhurst

Beautiful quiet and cosy location. Couldn’t be more dog friendly and welcoming. All staff were extremely warm and approachable. Log fires, delicious food and drinks. Wolverine was treated to the most fluffy and huge bed, welcome pack with a blanket, toy and other treats. Humans were equally delighted with the gorgeous room, homemade cookies and fabulous copper bath! The most romantic and calming holiday experience. ♥️🖤🐾

Booked the restaurant for just after Christmas. Wonderful eclectic interior design to the dining area and pub. Dog friendly and perfect service from the staff. Reasonable prices and top quality food. I would recommend trying the pie of the day as the pastry was top quality ( my mum was a professional pastry chef so I’m aware of quality pastry when I taste it). We will definitely visit again when we’re in the area, but always book if possible as it’s a popular venue.

Had a wonderful meal here while staying nearby for the weekend. While parking was tricky, no doubt due to the wedding that was happening that evening, once we were in there everything was perfect. The restaurant had a lovely rustic feel, which seems to be lost in a lot of places these days. The service was spot on, the staff were incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, and the food itself was some of the nicest I've eaten in a pub for a long time. Would certainly return, and would like to consider staying at the hotel there in the future.

We found everyone really helpful from Em who initially helped us with our booking providing exceptional service from start to finish. We then met Rae who very warmly greeted us as we arrived with our 2 dogs, Jessica and Brodie and who also showed us to our lodge. We were also impressed with Pauline who worked in the restaurant and had a super, helpful demeanor and gave our dogs complimentary sausages. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this to anyone who would like a trip away especially with dogs. Thank you so much!

Recently moved into the area. Came to the bell to gauge the local area. Lovely pub however the manager was particularly unwelcoming. I asked him for a menu for general intrigue and was told they were fully booked despite only wanting to look at the menu. Otherwise lovely pub.

My boyfriend and I were fortunate enough to spend our anniversary here at The Bell this past Sunday-Monday, and it was absolutely fantastic!
When booking online, I requested with them if we could have a specific room, which they were happy to honour for us. The room we stayed in, named the Moon Wild, was absolutely stunning. The room was spotlessly clean, well maintained, had amazing character and most importantly, had a very comfy bed! The room had so many lovely touches; including biscuits made by the pub chef, bath salts to use in the beautiful copper tub, complimentary water, tea, hot chocolate and coffee. Absolutely 5 star!
We also had Sunday lunch at the pub which was some of, if not the best, pub food we have ever had. I had the chicken, ham and leek pie and it was divine!!! I will be back for the pie alone! The staff also very kindly gave us a complimentary prosecco and beer to celebrate our anniversary, this was such a lovely touch.
The staff were also all very kind, smiley, helpful and friendly. Our waiter, who was a young blonde guy, was super attentive and friendly and made our meal very enjoyable! Another shout out to the lovely lady who checked us in to the hotel part of the pub… I regrettably didn’t get her name, but she was so lovely!
Thank you so much for a lovely stay, we look forward to coming back in the summer and staying again! 🙂

A great place to spend a weekend away. With lots of lovely towns/ villages to visit nearby - we loved Rye. Also plenty of good dogs walks too. Staff all very friendly and gave some great recommendations. Pub has delicious food and a great atmosphere.

As celebrants, we at Kate and Kate just love The Bell, Ticehurst! The ceremony room is absolutely stunning, and the downstairs area is so quirky and unique. Even the toilets have a cool vibe!

Everything about this venue is fabulous and completely one-of-a-kind. We highly recommend The Bell for weddings—especially the lovely nest where the couple can spend their wedding night. It's truly a great choice for any couple looking for a memorable experience!
Becky, the wedding and events manager and her team are always on hand and will make sure your day is as special and fabulous as you are!
