New-look Bell Inn reopens
Total refurb is now complete

The Bell Inn at Tong has reopened with a brand new look following a complete refurbishment to emphasise its ‘warm, timeless country pub atmosphere’.
The transformation has seen a brand new Farrow & Ball colour palette introduced into the venue, alongside wall panelling and bespoke tiling. A new homely snug section was added to the bar featuring cosy Chesterfield seating. Additionally, the al fresco dining area has been updated. The pub received an investment spend of £420,000 into its refurbishment.
The pub’s transformation has also seen major changes to the food offer as it moves to a more premium menu. The menu has received a complete overhaul, with the new selection of dishes offering a more modern feel, such as home-made chicken and chorizo kebab, oven-baked garlic flatbread, crumbled feta cheese and pomegranate seed salad, honey, fruity chilli sauce and seasoned fries, antipasti boards, and soy glazed salmon.
Situated within the Shropshire countryside, The Bell Inn at Tong is housed within a 250 year old listed building, marked by an 18th century obelisk. The pub serves a variety of cocktails, a premium lager range and a large selection of G&Ts.
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 over £420k into breathing new life into The Bell Inn. The pub is much loved by its regulars, and we are so glad to see everybody back again.“
