Mobile Food Guide Review of Bell Inn

During the Middle Ages, this ancient hostelry was used by pilgrims seeking to cross the Thames at Higham's Causeway, and it has packed in a lot of action and history since then: it was a bonfire site for a heretic burned at the stake during Mary Tudor's reign and served as a parade ground for the local Home Guard in more recent times. The whole place is full of fascination, although food is one now of its greatest assets.

Menus change twice weekly and may include starters like a plate of Parma ham with Pimms granita and Gala melon or crayfish salad on saffron potato with rocket and lemon dressing. Equally original main courses, such as pan-fried halibut on a cassoulet of summer vegetables and truffle oil or confit and roast duck with gooseberry compote might precede 'Oh Sugar' (aka. the pudding menu) which advertises tempting offers such as vanilla pannacotta with strawberries, raspberries, Grand Marnier and strawberry sorbet.

Real ales are taken seriously here (around 144 were dispensed last year) and the lively wine list focuses most of its attention on the New World. You can enjoy an evening meal at the Bell and stop over in one of the 16 very comfortable rooms.
