Discover The Bell Pub Wendens Ambo in the heart of the Countryside
The Bell Wendens Ambo is a charming and historic village pub located in the heart of the countryside. Renowned for its warm welcome and traditional atmosphere, it offers a great selection of ales, fine wines, and home-cooked meals made from locally sourced ingredients.

With its friendly staff and cosy ambience, The Bell Wendens Ambo is a perfect destination for those looking to experience an authentic British pub in a peaceful setting.
We came for a holiday at Audley End and were delighted to discover the the Bell Inn. It is a delightful traditional English pub. It is quite small, but has a large car park and outdoor area with a children's play area. It is very dog friendly and the staff made us feel very welcome.
The food menu is simple, with lots of pasta options and allergens are clearly indicated. I am a coeliac, meaning I cannot eat food containing wheat, yet I was easily accommodated. My wife and I both chose the fish and chips. This was clearly just cooked, fresh Haddock and absolutely delicious. If you look closely at the photos you can see that the batter on my fish is yellower because it was made with corn flour rather than wheat flour, but it was as deliciously crispy as hers.
For dessert I had the brownie and ice cream. This was again clearly freshly made, lovely and sticky and delicious. My wife had the apple and cinnamon pie with ice cream which she described as amazing.
The chef came out to talk to us after our meal and his exuberance and love for food were infectious. This pub is a great find and we will be back again.

Staying in a booking.com literally next door to this pub.
This place has made an absolute pleasure of our stay. Friendly staff, good menu, really nice atmosphere. A true local pub in all the best ways.
Food...absolutely go for the pizzas. Eat in or takeaway...fab. Honestly we were amazed.
Everything we had over this weekend was lovely.
Try the Thatchers cloudy cider.
And thank you so much for letting me park there as our booking.com accommodation said we could but, not taking anything for granted, we asked and you said yes.
Opening hours 12 till 9, perfect for our full schedule. I honestly wish the pub had rooms to rent!
Once again do not just drive by this pub. It's well worth stopping for a pizza ( good chips as a well) and a pint.

This pub has always been one of our favourites, so getting married there on Saturday made it even more special. The garden was absolutely beautiful and made the perfect setting for the day. The food was top tier! Nothing was too much trouble for the team, who were all so kind, attentive and helpful throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding. Many thanks Ed & Team!
