Nepalese kitchen

A warm way into Nepalese food inside a village pub.

Why people remember the food

The Nepalese kitchen gives this traditional pub a stronger point of difference.

The Bell keeps the feel of a proper local pub, then adds a Nepalese kitchen that gives the menu more warmth, more character, and more reason to come back for a second visit.

Led by Nepalese warmth

The Lapen Inns approach pairs community pubs with Nepalese dining, menu guidance, and dishes that earn their place on a pub table.

Designed to sit comfortably inside a pub visit

You do not need to choose between a pub meal and something more distinctive. Here, the Nepalese side of the menu sits naturally alongside the wider pub offer.

Memorable from the first order

Momo, curries, and grilled dishes give people a clear reason to remember the meal, even if they first came in for drinks, Sunday food, or a fixture night.

Where to begin

If you are new to the kitchen, start with the dishes that are easiest to share and easiest to talk about.

The menu does not ask you to arrive with specialist knowledge. It simply gives you a few strong starting points, then lets the rest of the meal open up from there.

Start with momo

Momo is the most natural first step if you want to try the Nepalese side of the menu. It is straightforward, sociable, and easy to order for the table.

Move on to curries and grilled dishes

Once the table is settled, the kitchen opens out into richer dishes that bring more depth and more flavour than a standard pub food line-up on its own, without losing the easy pub-first feel.

Order across the whole menu

One of the strengths of The Bell is that you can mix pub favourites and Nepalese dishes in the same meal without the evening feeling split in two.
