About

The Bells earns a place because it gives the Staines batch some genuine old-pub texture. Its own site describes a traditional pub with rustic country charm, cosy corners, alfresco dining and a courtyard just a short walk from the river, which helps distinguish it from the more commercial central venues.\n\nThat village-pub feel makes it one of the more characterful drinking options around Staines.
