The Bell Inn

At the end of our street was a pub, the Bell Inn. I loved the Bell Inn. 



On the Friday night it was pretty heaving, where a dedicated karaoke entertainer with elaborate equipment arrived and the locals sang songs. I watched, somewhat longingly, from the window.



Three small rooms comprised the Bell Inn, two main spaces - one a 'Sports Bar' with TV showing football and an adjacent 'Lounge Bar' with piano (inaccessible as it was covered in brochures) and Real Ale. There was a small, tucked away room at the back.

This was the small cosy back room.


Sports Bar, where I drank a pint of Bass ale.


The door to the lounge from the car park.


Outside the lounge bar was this 'smoking lounge'. Across the street - a busy road - was the outdoor lounge, with boules and other games, and very comfortable tables and chairs. I stuck with the main pub area.


One of the finest pubs.
