The Malthouse at The Olde Bell
About this space
A timber-framed coaching inn that pairs historic structure with contemporary, domestic-scale interiors and layered wood finishes.
Design: The venue displays a restrained, domestic look made up of pale walls, dark reclaimed-wood floors and simple contemporary seating. Natural light and exposed timber framing punctuate the interlinked rooms and panelled surfaces.
Features: An on-site restaurant and bar connect to several private dining and function rooms, and the venue includes guest bedrooms for overnight stays. Provided event equipment comprises Wi‑Fi and a PA system, and the venue permits external DJs subject to noise restrictions. Step-free guest entrance and accessible toilets are available.
Ideal for: Friends, family or colleagues seeking intimate seated dinners or relaxed standing receptions in a restaurant-led, domestic setting.
What sets it apart: An original carved oak fireplace and mantel form a prominent focal point in the principal reception rooms.
What guests say: The venue is comfortable and well presented, the bedrooms are restful, and the setting offers easy access to nearby riverside walks.
