The Blue Bell officially re-opened in July 2022 after a campaign by the local community to resurrect the village's only pub. A deal to buy the pub was completed in 2021 after a major fundraising and share option campaign. Much of the renovation work was completed by locals. The campaign was awarded CAMRA's National Pub Saving Award. There is also a licensed cafe operating from 10-3 Wednesday to Saturday.
