Visited 27th December 2010.
Follow the path, past the cinema, under the arch and 'The Bell' is on the left. The instructions given to us were quite correct and it was less than a five minute walk. Now this one was very much along the lines of what we were expecting. It was also busy with lots of people eating. We had a plan. Mrs S found an empty table, I headed for the bar and our driver acted as the runner. It was executed with almost military precision. Unfortunately everything went to pot when we found they had no burgers, or breaded chicken, or buns! Apparently deliveries are usually on a Saturday and nobody appeared to have considered the fact that, this year, Christmas day was also on a Saturday. I can't help but feel that with just a small amount of thought this could have been foreseen and planned for... So, I had the mixed grill with a pint of 'Red Nose Reindeer', Mrs S had the lasagne with a 'Sailor Jerry' and 'coke', with our driver opting for the 'Chicken Tikka Masala' and yet another pint of Pepsi. Nothing wrong with the food when it arrived but it wasn't a table full of burgers! Perhaps we should have waited for the next pub...
