Lovely friendly authentic pub, with excellent ales. I popped in here the other day, as I'd spotted the place and thought it looked interesting. Went on my own, on the way back from a bracing walk on Bodmin Moor. Not the sort of thing I'd do, usually, but on that day it felt right. I wasn't disappointed. I spent a lovely couple of hours sat at the bar, sampling the pub's own Bell Inn Ale, which was excellent, and chatting with Linda the landlady, who was very friendly and welcoming. It was a fairly quiet time of the day (6-8pm), but still there were enough people in there for the atmosphere to feel nice. I was struck by just what a nice environment it was to spend time in, and how much they obviously cared about the ales, and the general way they run the place. I will definitely be going back, and bringing friends.

An Amazing Pub For Real Ale Fans !. The Bell is a "proper" pub. NO juke box, NO games machines, NO fancy bar menu... Simply a VAST range of real ales all kept in peak condition. They do serve the usual range of drinks, but it is the ales, usually six or seven on draft, that makes the place so special. A wonderful place for a pie and a pint !.

5 Star CAMRA Pub Experience Not to be missed. You will, I am sure, marvel at this pub. It has everything you want in a pub experience and what tops it is the landlords knowledge of beers and the history of the pub and of course the beers and ciders on offer. It is quintessentially British in the heart of ancient town surrounded by 2 churches. Great atmosphere that is created by a landlord who clearly loves his pub and the local people and travellers. Lots of board games on offer too. As well as a seated area just outside, where you can sup your pint and watch the world of Launceston go by, there is a lovely pasty waiting for you inside - freshly cooked.
