What initially attracted me was the title. As a child, growing up in the Salisbury area (I won't…read morename the specific village because I still have family living there and I'd hate for them to suffer any reprisals for what I'm about to say.), I often attended a pub called the two bells and although it pains me to say it, it must be said; it was sub-par. Then a curious thing happened... as a Young adult, out in the world, leaving home for the bright lights of London, I discovered my new local was called the 5 bells. Reluctant as I was to visit a pub with Bells in its name, a combination of peer pressure and my own fervent clinging to the idea that you should not judge a book by its cover, I was convinced to attend. I must say I was glad I did because although the 5 bells was by no means excellent, it was significantly better than the pub of my childhood. "What if" I wondered to myself "the more the bells, the better the pub" it was a fleeting thought but one that was reignited when I discovered that there was an 8 bells! I must see it. Now the 8 bells is by no means local to me. In fact it is not inconsiderably far (an hour or more by car and 3 at least by public transport). But it was worth the trip. I ate well, I drank well and most satisfyingly of all I continued to prove my hypothesis that the more Bells in the pub title, the more enjoyable the experience. Please someone tell me if they ever discover a 10 bells! ‍

The wait to get a drink took quite sometime to get served, although when we did the barman was very friendly and smiley. We went to our table and all the decorations and ambiance was really quite lovely. Our starters all came out quite quickly and were tasty. They have soup of the day for starters, a good sharing selection and other starters. All were yummy. We then waited quite some time for the main. They came out and the fish and chips x2, were a success, and the dirty burger had lots of delicious fillings in, the wagyu burger was a tad tough, but very tasty. Fries with the burgers a bit overcooked. We didn't get table service whilst eating so had to pop to the bar for more drinks. Very nearly a 4. But the waiting was a bit annoying. Will 100% go back and eat there again though. Decent amount of parking. Clean.

Total bill ended up around eleven quid, relatively inexpensive. Took the food to hospital and found three bland bland bland plates of food. Could this be some sort of hospital based taste-prevention-barrier (thus explaining the universal nature of crap hospital food?) or does it explain the empty restaurant? I believe the latter. I reckon their meat dishes probably taste a bit better, but alas, my veggie ass ain't going there again.
