A warm village pub for the days that matter
Whatever you're celebrating — an intimate family gathering, baby shower, milestone birthday, wedding anniversary or reception, or a celebration of life — The Eight Bells is a warm, flexible space in the heart of our historic village. We're easy to reach just off the A23 and A272, with a lovely decked area outside and a choice of cosy indoor spaces that can be taken over separately.
Packages from £10 per person. Tell us the date and we'll shape the room, the food and the timing around your guests. Cooked breakfast is also open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to 11am.
