Set in the Berkshire village of Beenham, The Six Bells is a charming countryside pub, restaurant and inn that's become a popular destination for relaxed dining, quality seasonal cooking and traditional hospitality. Combining the character of a classic village local with a carefully considered menu of British favourites, it's equally suited to a leisurely lunch, an evening meal or one of its much-loved Sunday roasts. A spacious beer garden, cosy dining areas and four boutique guest rooms make it a welcoming spot throughout the year.
The kitchen focuses on rustic pub food prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Starters range from homemade soup served with freshly baked bread to smoked salmon pâté, pea and mint salad with shredded ham hock, and beetroot with feta and pesto. Smaller plates, including olives, homemade hummus and fresh bread with whipped butter, are perfect for sharing over drinks before the main event.
Classic British dishes form the heart of the menu, with beer battered haddock served alongside hand-cut chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce remaining a firm favourite. Elsewhere, you'll find succulent chicken breast with gnocchi and seasonal greens, grilled salmon fillet with new potatoes and chive sauce, hearty pork sausages with creamy mash and rich gravy, and chargrilled burgers served with fries and slaw. Steak lovers can choose from rump or sirloin cuts, while vegetarian diners are well catered for with dishes such as meat-free burgers and seasonal vegetable options.
Sunday lunch is one of The Six Bells' biggest draws, with roast sirloin of beef, roast pork and a vegan roast served alongside crisp roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and seasonal vegetables. Homemade desserts, including chocolate brownie, lemon cheesecake and Eton mess, provide a comforting finish to the meal. Whether you're dropping in for a pint, gathering friends for dinner or making a weekend of it with an overnight stay, The Six Bells delivers the warm atmosphere, generous cooking and relaxed charm you'd expect from a quintessential English country pub.
