Situated handily for railway and bus stations, and near the town centre, this pub, refurbished in 2019 and now with one long bar, nevertheless remains a local;, with loyal regulars and a welcome for visitors. The buzz of amiable conversation mixes with the sounds of pub games most weekday evenings, as the Bell hosts darts, dominoes, pool, Aunt Sally and quiz teams.

There is regular live music at weekends and football is shown on the tv.

The back part of the building was once an auto repair garage, and there are plenty of memorabilia and artefacts adorning the walls in homage. Outside is a seating area.
