We’ve spent 2 nights here for a mid week break away from kids, work and general life stresses. The double room is quite basic but very clean and had all we needed - including a brilliant jet shower. The staff are friendly and helpful and we really did feel looked after. The food was amazing and a good choice. The landlady was very accommodating and really did treat us like guests. Thank you 5 Bells team! And Happy Birthday for Friday Mary xx

Our stay at this pub was awesome. Friendly, helpful staff, comfortable and cozy accommodation and the food was very good. Mary, the landlady gave us a warm welcome. The only downside is the wi-fi ! In the 5 days of our stay, we could not connect to it. We'd definitely stay there again.

Went for sunday roast dinner at 5 bells eastry today, was booked. The food was amazing and we all enjoyed the food, cooked perfectly, all hot and presented well, served with quality and staff were very polite and professional..reccomend to anyone who wants to stay or visit the area of eastry who is looking for the proper classic pub food and pub atmosphere. Only downside was the extremely slow service, we booked for 2pm, arrived at 2pm but took just over 1 hour before our food was ready to be served. This was indeed a very busy pub and I assume due to customer demands causing very slow service, still Highley recommended if you don't mind waiting when it's very busy.

We visited as was attending a wedding just down the road and we are so glad we decided to stay here. Staff were incredible and really friendly. Happy to help with anything and give recommendations for the local area. Nothing was too much and would happily go the extra mile. This included the bartenders, chefs, housekeeping and managers. Everyone was passionate about working there and you could tell they all love their jobs. Food was delicious as well and really good portion sizes for the price. Thankyou all so much!

We live fairly close by, but had family visiting from Suffolk. None of us had been to the pub before. Although on this occasion my family were not staying at the pub. We did have a lovely family meal last night. The staff were fantastic So friendly and lovely with my 3 year old grandson. A really nice pub, with a great atmosphere. A hidden gem. We will definitely visit again

It was a lovely time there with my clients Rose and David. Very kind people, caring. I had chocolate cheesecake with ice cream and it was delicious. Never had a fresh cheesecake like the one i had here before. Everyone loved the food. Would love to come back again whenever i’ll get the chance.

Visiting some friends and they took us to their local. Food was great, we also took part in the quiz, which was a fantastic laugh. If you are anywhere near this place, pop in for great service, friendly and chatty bar staff and just a wonderful local, proper English feeling pub.

Stayed here while I was doing a weekend Rural Course nearby. Excellent and friendly pub. Room was very comfortable and luckily very warm so I could dry out a host of wet clothes! The food is fairly standard pub grub but just what you need after a day getting soaked while working in woodland! Price surprisingly low for a Saturday night so brilliant VfM. Staff were lovely, couldn't be more helpful, made sure my bike was safely stowed for the night. Sandwiches made for me for the next day's work. Best of all, the pub had a lovely atmosphere, felt like the real heart of the village of Eastry. Thanks to one and all.

Mary, the owner turned up and had a chat with us… really lovely lady. We felt very welcomed and the food was very comforting. Rooms were very clean and basic and we finished the next morning with an exceptional cooked breakfast. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Noticed this bijou shop as we were attracted initially by the Groovy illuminated sign in the window advertising cloths and coffee/tea. What a surprise! We were greeted warmly by a young lady behind the counter. The main surprise was it was incredibly small, 2 individual chairs, a 2 seater retro cloth settee and an additional small seating area immediately under the counter in front of the display of cakes (not ideal) customers would literally be sitting virtually upon each other although we were the only customers in attendance at that moment in time. We had tea and 2 rather small cakes and were charged over £12! To summarise, whilst the young lady serving was friendly she fell short on what pricing of the cloths and various items for sale were if not tagged and also was rather naive in knowledge about the local town area. Overall the experience was different and the products for sale were interesting albeit scant we would not choose to return over other more spacious and better value venues locally.

On the 31 December 2024 we ordered chicken curry and egg fried rice and chips whe we got home my wife and my self couldn’t not eat it the chips were re-cook from from cold and the chicken was very stringy and chewy and my dog would not touch it so I threw it all away and I will not be going back there again and I will be giving them a bad reputation
