About The Bell Plantation Café
We are delighted to be re-opening our Café doors once again since lock down. We have been working hard whilst we have been closed to make necessary changes to keep you and our team safe. We have also completed the renovations to expand our Cafe area which means we have been able to give you lots of space in all the seating areas.
We are currently running an adapted menu. However we are still bringing you delicious, simple English food that is made as fresh as possible.
At breakfast, you can have anything from simple toast to a full English breakfast. Mid-morning, we serve delicious barista-made coffee and home-made cakes.
At lunch, you can have a simple home-made sandwich, a baguette, lasagne or choose from one of our specials on the board. In the afternoon you can relax with a cup of tea and a slice of cake or try a full-blown afternoon tea (Monday – Saturday from 3pm).
Please Note: The menu is subject to change regularly if we sell out of dishes. Please call us if you have a specific requirement.
