The Bell Inn is recognized for its historic and architectural value. The timber-framed, L-shaped building dates back to the 17th–18th centuries, featuring a later 19th-century re-fronting and colourwash finish, with sash windows and a tiled roof embellished with a brick dentil eaves course.
Situated at 126 Main Road, Danbury, Essex, CM3 4DT, the pub enjoys a convenient location with ample parking and is just a short drive from Chelmsford.
Facilities include a cosy one-bar layout, a well-maintained beer garden (room for 40+ covers), sheltered heated seating, and a catering kitchen.
Reviews consistently mention a friendly, welcoming atmosphere with attentive staff, good service, and a festive vibe during holidays. Features like real ales, darts, and sports screenings add to the sociable ambiance.
On Sundays you can grab yourself a magnificent Sunday roast.
Fridays & Saturday are usually Singers or Karaoke nights
