The Bell Sawtry: a village pub in Sawtry with a Nepalese kitchen
Traditional pub warmth with food, drinks, and a Nepalese kitchen now serving
The Bell stands out on Green End Road with the look and feel of a proper local, serving pints, pub classics, and Nepalese favourites from the full kitchen menu.
A proper pub atmosphere first, then food that gives the table a reason to come back.
The room already feels familiar from the first drink, and the food offer gives the visit even more identity once the table starts ordering.
4 reasons
01
Keep the local alive
The offer is built around the rituals that make a proper local matter: food, drinks, live sport, live nights, games, and a room that still works for a casual pint and a longer catch-up.
02
Nepalese hospitality in a pub setting
The Lapen Inns approach is about generosity, menu guidance, and a welcome that treats people with warmth rather than formality, while the pub itself stays easy and familiar.
03
Family and community first
The venue is positioned for families, relaxed dinners, local groups, and mixed tables who want value, comfort, and room to settle in.
04
Pints, pub classics, and Nepalese food now serving
The drinks offer sits alongside a food menu that stretches from pub classics to momo, curries, grills, and takeaway-friendly dishes.
Food starts later than the bar on weekdays, with Friday and Saturday service from mid-afternoon and Sunday food from midday.
02
Keep familiar pub comfort in play
Pub classics, wraps, and pub meals keep the menu easy for mixed tables before anyone stretches into the Nepalese side.
03
Use the full menu when the table wants range
That is where the grills, curries, momo, and crowd-pleasers all sit together and make the visit feel stronger than a standard pub stop.

“Really lovely experience as always at The Bell. Very friendly and helpful staff and delicious food. Always happy to explain a dish and can lower/raise spice levels depending on your preference.”
The historic fire-station building gives the pub a local story while the room keeps the warm local feel people expect.
02
A room built for everyday trade and bigger plans
The pub setting, outdoor seating, and small-group suitability give the venue range without making it feel overbuilt or formal.
03
A pub identity with a stronger hospitality point of difference
The pub keeps its local feel, while the Nepalese kitchen, warmer service style, and clearer menu guidance give the visit more personality once you sit down.
In Practice
Use the review links to get a feel for the pub, then choose the practical next step: book a table, order takeaway, or bring a group plan to the team.
The live sport offer is designed around live sport and social nights, with the room still feeling like a pub night rather than a screen-only stop.
02
Music, karaoke, DJ nights, and local reasons to return
Live music, karaoke, DJ nights, live sport, and community-led occasions give regulars and casual visitors more than one reason to come back beyond a single meal.
03
A venue that handles bigger tables and informal occasions well
Birthdays, work drinks, sports socials, local team meetups, and family gatherings all fit here without losing the relaxed pub feel.
