The Bell at Standerwick in Mendip

A very comfortable pub / restaurant, especially excellent for visits with family.We went on a Sunday which naturally meant the majority of us had a carvery. The meat was tender, vegetables were roasted to perfection and for those with a sweet tooth, the pudding was great.On a separate occasion I had the burger which was very good. Soft brioche buns, a flavourful burger with chips and a salsa on the side.For a family of 6 the price and the waiting time we’re both excellent.

Wonderful friendly staff. We enjoyed the Sunday carvery. Nothing was too much trouble and we have a very fussy eater in the familly. We rang ahead and let them know the dietary requirements and they made something special for her. Brilliant and we will certainly come again.

Stopped off at this place on the way home from Dorset. Very clean and bright pub. Staff very polite, nothing too much trouble for them. Food cooked just right and value for money. Will visit again.

A lovely place with amazing food and staff. We were there for a meal after a funeral and they couldn’t have been more helpful - from the planning to the service. A huge thank you from us all. We will definitely come again!

The Bell is a country pub on the outskirts of Warminster north of it in a village called Standerwick. It is a quaint country pub just off the A36. Plenty of parking was available in a well lit car park.The pub recently has undergone new management. Entering the pub, you cannot hear any of the noise outside and we was greeted promptly by the host. A nice warm atmosphere inside was waiting. We were shown to the table and provided menus accordingly. The host also let us know what the special dish of the day was and items that were not available before ordering. The pub was clean and tidy throughout and had a modern look to it. The pub has a carvery deck on Sundays and offers a main menu the rest of the week.All the food we had today was excellent quality. They were well presented on the plates and there was a good portion size for the price paid. I feel that the desserts are overpriced and the waffle and pie were a little soggy and stodgy at times. It had the appearance and temperature that they had been microwaved through so was piping hot when we had received it. I loved the use of the star plate for the cherry bakewell pudding. The steak was cooked rare to perfection. The chicken schnitzel was lightly battered and rich in flavour. The mushroom linguini also had plenty of mushrooms and wholesomeness to it.In terms of service, staff were very attentive but did forget to bring my guests drink when we had ordered it 15 minutes prior so we had to remind the team to get their order. The team were all friendly in their manner however.The toilets for the females were refurbished and modern on one end but out of order at the bar end. The male toilets were dated and not that well lit given there is no lighting where the urinals were. The window was open here so it was very cold.Overall I would give it a 8/10 and would visit and consider recommending this pub given the minor issues we came across today. Overal it was good value for money.

A lovely pub, with good food and wonderful staff. Stopped here for a meal from the carvery whilst travelling on the A36 and was impressed with everything. Great meat, served by a fantastic, very knowledgeable chap who went the extra mile to give good service. The waiting staff were also lovely, and very attentive. My only criticism is that there could have been more choice of vegetables. Will definitely come back!

Great local country pub, with home-cooked food. Staff are very friendly and food was lovely. So glad I stumbled onto this place when staying close-by for a holiday.

Lovely home made food, service was fantastic! Coming back tomorrow for Sunday lunch ❤️

Stopped at The Bell for a bite of lunch. Tasty Greek style salad and delicious beef lasagne. Staff could not have been more helpful and the huge beer garden was perfect for the dog. Will definitely go again.

Really lovely meal out as part of our holiday. My partner and I enjoyed the food here, especially their lovely desserts! Lots of choices of drinks too. Lots of outside and inside seating although it seemed very quiet when we ate on a weekday evening. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend.
