A new homely ‘snug’ section was added to the bar featuring cosy Chesterfield seating while the al fresco dining area has been updated.

Kate Harding-Jack, General Manager of The Bell Inn, said: “We are so excited to open the doors and to show our guests the final result of our refresh.

"We have invested more than £420,000 into breathing new life into The Bell Inn."

Situated within the Shropshire countryside, The Bell Inn is housed within a 250-year-old listed building, marked by an 18th century obelisk.

The pub's orchard-style beer garden allows guests to drink or dine alfresco, whilst the spacious and modern interior offers a relaxed dining experience.
