19th December 2020
It is with great sadness that we are announcing the temporary closure of The Bell.We have taken the difficult decision to pause trading after lunch on Sunday 27th December.
With January being a traditionally quiet month for hospitality and the added pressure of the Tier 2 restrictions, we anticipate even tougher times ahead for us and our industry.
We have therefore decided to batten down the hatches until we are back in Tier 1 and able to trade at a more viable level.
We would like to thank everyone that has supported us throughout this awful year. You have helped keep our spirits up through the tough days.To our friends in this industry who are also weathering the storm…good luck!
We are staying open until Sunday 27th December and would still love to see you for a substantial meal so give us a call on 01672 861099 or ping us an email to hannah@thebellwestoverton.com if you would like to join us.(see our opening times below)
We wish all of our customers a happy and safe Christmas and we look forward to getting back to normal in 2021.
Much love from Hannah, Andrew and all the team xx
With the new restrictions, we can now sadly only seat one dining household per table.
This puts added pressure on to our already limited capacity, so please try and book ahead if you can.
Please be aware that unfortunately, the three household rule between 23rd and 27th December does not apply in pubs and we will still be restricted to single household tables through that time.

Please remember that we are all learning, bear with us at this strange time, we will be doing things by the book as best we can, in order for everyone to feel as safe and comfortable as possible. Please try to support us in doing so.

Booking is now advised and preferred for all diners. Guests can only order alcohol when eating a substantial meal so unfortunately we cannot accept guests coming in just for a drink.
