About
A proper village pub with a wider food story behind it.
The concept
The Bell is pub-led by design.
The point of difference is not a second brand hidden inside the building. It is a traditional pub where the Nepalese kitchen gives you another reason to stay once you are already enjoying the room.

Building and setting
The building does a lot of the trust work before the first order.
Character matters in hospitality, especially when you want the pub to become somewhere you return for drinks, dinner, and occasions that sit somewhere between casual and planned.
The public venue profile describes the building as Sawtry's original fire station before becoming The Bell.
The Bell keeps the warmth of a proper pub while giving the menu a stronger identity than a standard village local.
That balance is the point: you can come in for the pub experience first, then stay because the kitchen gives you more to remember.

Lapen Inns operation
The Bell is part of the Lapen Inns estate, a regional pub group pairing community pubs with Nepalese dining and familiar pub offers.
That approach keeps the classic pub welcome intact while letting the Nepalese dishes add depth, warmth, and character rather than novelty for its own sake.
The hospitality side matters just as much as the dishes. Guests should be able to ask for menu guidance, spice adjustments, and dietary help before ordering.
Momo, curries, grilled dishes, and pub favourites sit together because the pub needs to work for mixed groups, cautious eaters, curry lovers, and regulars alike.
Contact the pub teamThe wider pub family
The Bell is part of the Lapen Inns family, a group known for pairing pub comfort with Nepalese kitchens in a way that still feels grounded in each local setting.
Across the wider family, the idea stays consistent: Nepalese warmth inside beloved East Anglian pubs, familiar pub ease, and food that gives you a reason to come back for more than another pint.
Here in Sawtry, that approach still starts with the local pub first and then lets the kitchen add its own identity once you are at the table.

Why this town suits us
The Bell is a Sawtry village pub on Green End Road, serving locals, visitors, families, couples, and groups who want food, drinks, or a night out.
That local sense of arrival still matters on Green End Road today, where a well-positioned pub can look after regulars, visitors, and casual stop-ins alike.
The Bell sits right in that rhythm, visible enough for a spontaneous pint and distinctive enough to stay in mind when you are choosing where to eat next time.
