Pub of the Week: The Bell Hotel, Sandwich

The Bell Hotel is a majestic, traditional hotel in Sandwich, overlooking the River Stour.  With Tudor origins, the hotel retains many period features from over the years, while modern touches and delicate updates give the hotel a luxurious, contemporary feel.

Earlier this year, the hotel was crowned “Managed Business of the Year” at the 2016 Shepherd Neame Pub Awards, in recognition of the team’s success in making The Bell a hugely popular destination to eat, drink and stay.

At The Bell, you’ll find a spacious and airy Bar and Brasserie, perfect for pre-dinner drinks and more informal dining, as well as The Old Dining Room restaurant, where guests can enjoy the a la carte dishes available.  The menus offer an excellent choice of dishes for all tastes and appetites, prepared with locally sourced, seasonal produce where possible.

As a Shepherd Neame house, there is of course a well-stocked bar, complete with quality Kentish cask ales, lagers, and an extensive choice of wines from around the world, spirits and soft drinks.

All 37 rooms at The Bell are beautifully decorated in timeless, classic colours, and furnished for your optimal comfort and enjoyment, with some enjoying extra luxuries such as roll top baths and four poster beds.  Short breaks here are always good value, with Sunday Night Dinner and 2 night special offers available.

The hotel is a popular venue for weddings, functions, and private celebrations. If you are looking for somewhere to let your hair down and unwind with friends and colleagues this Christmas, The Bell’s banqueting suite can cater for up to 100 in exceptional style and comfort, complete with private bar. For smaller gatherings, the luxurious and intimate Old Dining Room Restaurant offers the perfect venue.

Whatever your plans, the team will be delighted to assist you in putting together a bespoke event, with tailor-made menus and entertainment, ensuring that the Bell Hotel is the perfect setting for your celebration.
