About Us

Elliot

Acting Manager

Elliot is a self confessed hospitality nerd with years of experience in the industry. He previously was with the Arrow Mill for over three years and has consistently shown his dedication and expertise in his role as Deputy Manager, resulting in his promotion to 'Acting Manager' of the Bell! While our landlady is on maternity leave, Elliot is taking on the reins of the pub and all the fun that comes with it! Outside of work, Elliot is a loving husband to his wife Lucie and proud father to his young sons Harrison and Luca. He loves playing golf (badly!) and when not working in a pub he can be found drinking in one.

Harpreet

Deputy Manager

Commonly known as 'Harps', Harps has recently joined us as our new Deputy Manager! The kindest guy you will ever meet who is always on hand to help and support his team. If he is not grafting in the pub, you might find him eating out with his Fiance, or watching Japanese Manga or Anime. With 15 years in retail, then 3 years in hospitality, we are thrilled that he has decided to settle into the Bell family.

Charlotte

Deputy Manager

Charlotte joined us in August 2025 with a wide amount of experience in hospitality. From her parents owning a pub from a young age, she has hospitality in her blood and knows what she’s doing! On her time off, she loves to travel, seeing nearly all of Europe with her partner… very impressive! She also loves a cheeky bit of Sims4!

Chloe

Assistant Manager

No one is 100% sure if Chloe is ever joking or not, her humour is dryer than the Sahara Desert, but we are pretty sure she likes it here. Always behind the bar, she will pour you a pint quicker than you can ask for it! If you don't see her behind the bar, she's probably in front of it with a pint of Aspall's in hand (that's why we know she likes it here!).

Amelia

Trainee Assistant Manager

Amelia is one of our girls of many talents, you may find her behind the bar, running food or running a busy section - she's an absolute gem. When she is not overseas studying in Belfast, she is only a couple doors down from us, which has come in handy... a few times!

Alicia

Trainee Assistant Manager

Liss joined us August 2025 after 6 years in hospitality, previously working at The Navigation, Lap worth and a private catering company. Liss loves music and going to gigs on her off time. If she is not working, she will also be looking after her 2 turtles and 1 gecko! How cool is that! We love having her on the team and sure she will be a hit with the locals!

Michelle

Supervisor

Shell is our newest addition to the management team, bringing 24 years of hospitality experience working in award winning establishments, we are glad to have her knowledge and experience here at the Bell. If Shell is not working you might find her spending time with her English Bulldog, 'Jazz' or snuggled up on the sofa watching anything True Crime related!

Thomas

Supervisor

Tom worked with us for multiple years, and has decided to come back to his roots! Always with a smile on and sharing some banter with the locals or his team, he is a cheeky chappy and we are glad to have him back!

Beatrice

Admin Coordinator

You might remember Bea from when she used to be Assistant Manager here, now, when she is not planning her next travels or studying you will find her tucked away in the office doing the marketing for the pub. As the photo shows, you will generally find her with a drink in hand when she's not at work!

Daryl

Bar/Waiting

Daryl is a new addition to the team, working on the bar when he is not at his full time job of window fitting. He loves football and cross fit, while also spending time with his two young kids, he is a busy man! We are very happy to have him on board!

Joshua

Bar/Waiting

Josh is a 6'6ft lad so is hard to miss! He is a local lad who has worked with us for over two years and is also the brother of Amelia, our Trainee Assistant Manager. He is currently on a gap year so working for us in between playing rugby for Hartpury University!

Ethan

Bar/Waiting

Ethan joins us during term time while he is studying at Warwick University taking Philosophy and Chinese. When he is at home, he works at one of our sister pubs, so knows B&P pretty well!! He is a laugh and we enjoy having him in the team!

Poppy

Bar/Waiting

Poppy joined us recently, coming from one of our sister pubs in Kent to work for us during term time, while she studies at Warwick University, taking Theatre and Performance. Poppy loves rugby and is a good laugh, so fits in perfectly with the team. Fun fact, she used to live in Hong Kong!

Evie

Bar/Waiting

Evie joined us more recently and has been a great addition to the team. Always smiling and offering to help we love having her around. Evie is about to go into her final year of Sixth Form, so when she is not busy with her A-Levels, or doing anything motorsport related, you might find her serving you food! Evie is also a 'Black Belt' in Karate, so watch out!

Shane

Bar/Waiting

Shane has been with us since the start of 2025, he is a great addition to the team, pouring your pints or serving your table! Shane is a lover of the gym, or looking after his niece and dog. You might catch him having a pint with the Chefs after work discussing his love of football, specifically, Man United!

Ann-Marie

Bar/Waiting

Ann-Marie is an absolute whippet, you might recognise her from serving you breakfast or whizzing around the floor on any given day! When Ann-Marie isn't running (and talking) at 100000mph, she is stopping off at the Bell for a drink - after a cycle!

Jess

Bar/Waiting

Jess has worked at the Bell for nearly two years. If she is not serving you breakfast, she will be looking after her two little boys, who are full of personality, just like her! You will most likely see her with sunglasses on chilling in the garden. A great addition to the team... the start of the weeks and early mornings are that bit easier with Jess about.

Sandy

Bar/Waiting

We were given a couple of different photos to use for Sandy, but we think this one sums her up the most! The first to put her hand up to try anything, it's a shame her gorgeous face is hidden by the mask but there is no doubt you would recognise her from working on the floor.

Ricky

Senior Sous Chef

Ricky has been in hospitality for years and has been a great addition to Team Bell. He is a family man, who loves to have a laugh. When he is not working you can find him playing football, watching football, or discussing football with the other lads at work.

Andrew

Head Chef

Andrew joined our family this summer to head up our kitchen team. Andrew brings a wealth of experience after being in hospitality for 36 years, starting as a Saturday Chef at 15 years old! Andrew has worked in front of house before settling into back of house and creating and serving delicious dishes. When Andrew is not working he loves to play golf, spend time with his family and watch cheesy movies. Slotting in great with the crew, we are excited to see him continuing leading the kitchen! Keep an eye out for some great new dishes from him.

Benjamin

Sous Chef

Ben has grown up in the Midlands and worked predominantly in fine dining hotel restaurants in the Cotswolds. Although his original expertise was in pastry, he crossed over to the savoury side of cooking some years ago as he felt that would make him a more complete chef. In his spare time, he has a passion for nature and wild places, travel and photography.

Daniel

Chef

There isn’t a place where this man hasn’t lived or worked. However we’re lucky to have him here now! Having just moved nearer his Brummy roots from our sister pub the Highdown, Worthing.

If Dan’s not at work, he’s probably holding up the bar with a Peroni in his hand.

Ollie

Chef de Partie

Ollie started with us during the summer (which is very brave!) and has brought with him some young energy to the kitchen. On his days off he’ll be found watching the F1….actually having said that - he seems to manage to do that whilst he’s at work too!

Katie

Chef de Partie

Katie joined the Bell family in February of 2025, she has slotted right in with her warming personality, putting a smile on everyones face. Katie has been a chef since 2019, took a year out with a career change and decided she missed hospitality so came back! We are so glad she has landed at the Bell!

If Katie isn't working she will be at the gym, spending time with her cats or laughing!

Jeavon

Chef de Partie

Jeavon (Jev) is joined us in March of 2025 as a Chef de Partie after roughly 10 years of being in the kitchen. Jev likes to spend his spare time, raving, gaming, or going to the cinema. He loves his dog and might see him sat at the bar after shift with a 'Purity Lawless' in hand!

Cherise

Cleaner

From Waiting Crew to Housekeeping with Kitchen Porter in between (and at one point all together!) what can Cherise not do? Always with a smile on her face, early mornings are that bit easier when she is around. Having worked at the pub for 5 years, she knows everyone and everything! If she is not at work, she is most likely walking her dog and spending time outside.

Fernanda

Cleaner

Ferdy, originally from Madeira, has a wealth of housekeeping knowledge that she has been using at the Bell for over 4 years now. She keeps the pub shining and is always up for helping the team in different ways. A hard worker and full of character, it's hard not to laugh in the early hours of the morning when she is about!
