The hotel retains much of its original character. In 1938, Tudor wall paintings were discovered. These paintings, now preserved behind glass, can be seen in one of the bedrooms.The Bell Hotel features throughout the Dad’s Army TV series, and was the backdrop to many scenes..

The Bell is located in the historic village of Harborne, about 3 miles south of Birmingham city centre. It is on St. Peters Road right next to St. Peters church. You can get there on the 22 or 23 bus from Birmingham city centre. It is in a quiet area which is characterised by lots of trees! The pub backs onto an old graveyard, so don't be too noisy when you go there.
It is a tiny pub with only one room, and only two people can stand at the bar at one time. From the outside it is a very attractive whitewashed Victorian building, with a large bell hanging off one wall. There is a large beer garden at the rear of the pub, with a bowling green you can play on (if you are that way inclined that is!) It is very pleasant to sit out in the garden in the summer with a pint and watch the bowls. There are plenty of picnic benches to sit on. The toilets, male and female are located in outbuildings also as they would not fit into the pub!
The drinks prices are average, not bargains but not atrocious either. Expect to pay about £2.20 a pint. The only drinks they really stock are beers, lagers and spirits, so ladies if you want your girly drinks, go to the Vine or to Broad Street!
As for clientele, the majority are local people, in general middle aged or older. In the summer though many people visit the pub to sit out in the garden, of all ages. At lunchtime a lot of the teachers from the local schools pay a visit to the Bell for a quick drink.
The interior, as mentioned, is very small and is normally occupied by several old men, usually smoking pipes! (always the way!) As a result the inside can become quite smoky and it is also quite dark in there.
At Christmas the owners always put a full size Father Christmas on the front of the pub, to look as if he is climbing up the wall, with a sack over his shoulder. The kids (and me!) always love that!
There are just a few staff working in the Bell and in my experienc are always friendly and helpful, even when the queue for the bar goes out of the door!
If you are in the area, I would recommend paying a visit as it is a lovely old pub, as yet unafflicted by the big chains of O'Neills or Firkins..if this ever changes I for one will be a sad man as many others will be I am sure. It is not a pub you would go to to pull, or go and dance, but for a summers night drinking and chatting, you can't go wrong....See you there then!
Advantages: A beautiful setting for a sunny evening. Big dishes. Disadvantages: Watch out for the cats!
A Memorable Destination
It's a very long time since I was last at the Bells of Peover. I think it must have been at least 15 or 16 years ago - it's a wonder I can even remember the place at all. The reason why I can remember is because when I went, a visit to the Bells of Peover constituted 'A Big Day Out'. I was working in my first job, not on a massive salary and not in the habit of expensive meals out. I believe the boyfriend and I even took a day off work just to drive out to the countryside to have lunch because he'd heard great things about the place.
Back then the Bells of Peover was a yuppie paradise: a multi-award winning gastro pub at a time when nobody had even started to use the term 'gastro pub'. We drove down in our beat up old car and hid it in a dark corner of the car park where it wouldn't be too intimidated by ...
Advantages: A traditional pub with a great atmosphere. Disadvantages: None really!
Pubs are great! They sell beer and are a wonderful place to meet people and socialise. One of my current favourite watering holes is The Blue Bell in Bolsover, Derbyshire ~ a favourite thanks to it being close to where I live (accesible by public transport), has an excellent beer range (very important to me as a CAMRA member) and is welcoming too.
~~~WHERE IS IT?
The Blue Bell is located at 57 High Street in Bolsover. It?s not far from Bolsvoer Castle and near to the Church, so it is quite easy to find. If you are travelling north you will need to leave the M1 at junction 29 and take the road towards Mansfield (the A617). When you reach the Roundabout at Pleasley you need to head left onto the B6417 until you see the Bolsover signpost (you will now be on the A632). The pub is past the water tower and can be seen once you ...
Advantages: near all sorts of shops, staff is very good, clean and very quiet inside espically night time, Disadvantages: may get noisey outside at night because town is where hotel is made
