Popular pub near Stourbridge reopens with new look paying tribute to past and all new food menu

The Bell at Belbroughton near Stourbridge has been given an all-new décor which takes customers back to the pub’s traditional roots and showcases a range of details, such as open ceiling beams and timber framing from the original house, alongside a host of listed features.

This includes an original trough, located in the pub’s Rustic Barn, which was once used as an old coach house, while the main pub also features three new fireplaces.

General manager Dom Price said: "The Bell has such a rich history, dating back to 1580, and we really wanted to honour that with its new look.

“With our doors now open, we’re ready and excited to welcome and ‘wow’ our guests – both with the new décor and a delicious new food and drink offering.”

Alongside its refurbished look, the new Bell also brings a range of new dishes for customers to enjoy with an all-new menu, crafted by head chef, Ana Marcu. 

Featuring a variety of pub classics with a modern twist, inspired by the seasons and all the Worcestershire countryside has to offer, the new spring/summer menu presents a range of food options, including the signature duo of pork & scallops and crispy duck & pineapple salad. 

A variety of small plates are also on offer for guests, with dishes such as pan-fried wild scallops, glazed goats cheese tatin and chicken yakiniku skewers, all freshly prepared.

The menu also brings fine cuts of steak fresh from the grill, aged for a minimum of 28 days to deliver tenderness and flavour, and guests can enjoy a Bell highlight of a Sunday roast with all the trimmings, including the Sunday Roast Sharer. 

Mr Price said: "The new menu looks and tastes incredible, showcasing the best flavours Worcestershire has to offer.

“Adding this to our new look, the new Bell creates a fresh, warm, and friendly atmosphere and we’re incredibly excited to share that with new and returning customers alike. 

“We’re also thrilled to offer our exclusive wedding celebration packages, making The Bell a top choice for couples looking to celebrate their big day in style.
