Foodie courses at The Bell, Ramsbury 

DATE

April 14, 2025

During April and May, The Bell is hosting several special food-focused events so you can learn from the best, including talented head chef James Graham 

Friday, 18th April, bring a Good Friday Fish Special – a special evening celebrating fish from around the world + fish & chips! On Thursday, 24th April, one for asparagus lovers: an eight-course dinner highlighting new-season asparagus. £80pp with optional wine flight, £45pp. 

On Thursday, 29th May, there’s a lamb butchery demonstration at 6pm hosted by The Bell’s head chef, James Graham, which includes welcome drink and small dishes served throughout the evening, £80pp. 

Recently included in The Good Food Guide and the Michelin Guide, this boutique retreat and community hub is owned by the Ramsbury Estate, which surrounds the village and supplies The Bell with its own multi- award-winning Ramsbury Distillery single estate gin and vodka (voted Vodka of the Year with the London Spirits competition 2024) and award-winning Ramsbury Brewery beers, and the Estate’s Black Gold extra virgin cold pressed rapeseed oil from its own Oil Press.  

Seasonal fresh produce is delivered daily from the Estate’s Priory Farm kitchen garden two miles away, along with regular consignments of beef from its own herds of Aberdeen Angus, flocks of water meadow lamb and wild game from its woodlands, which also help to keep the pub’s carbon footprint low. 

James Graham is passionate about and committed to creating a truly individual style of sustainable, responsible, farm-to-table dinning using the best, local, seasonal produce on his exciting, flavourful and regularly changing menus.  

Dogs are welcome in the bar, Cafe Bella, out on the terrace and lawned beer garden, and for overnight stays in the four converted coach house bedrooms, free of charge     

The Bell’s 10, stylish and individually decorated guest bedrooms, with six above the pub and four in a separate converted coach house, offer a calming palette enhanced with locally sourced antiques, comfy armchairs, prints and photographs, with luxurious Hypnos beds, upholstered headboards, hypo-allergenic duvets and pillows and crisp white linens.
