💙 Saying Goodbye to Our Cody 💙

And now it’s time to say goodbye to our Cody! 🥹🎓

For those who know Cody, you’ll know that we’ve had the absolute pleasure of watching him grow up in the pub over the years. From the young boy we’ve known and loved, to now a law graduate ready to take on the world and start his new career! ⚖️🎓

Cody, we couldn’t be prouder of you and everything you’ve achieved. Watching you grow into the amazing young man you are has been such a privilege.

As you head off on your next adventure, we wish you every success, happiness and all the very best for your future. Go out there and smash it! ❤️

We’re so proud of you, Cody — and we love you dearly.
Don’t forget us back at the pub! 🍻

Good luck, graduate! 🎓⚖️❤️ ‼️ #🎓⚖️❤️ #🎓⚖❤

🥩 WELL… YOU LOT HAVE SPOKEN! 👀❤️

Last night we decided to try something a little different… just 5 portions of our Slow-Cooked Beef Short Rib to see what you thought.

And WOW… the feedback has been amazing! 😍🙌

From “absolutely delicious” to “the beef just fell apart” and plenty of clean plates coming back to the kitchen… we think it’s safe to say this one went down VERY well! 🤤

Slow-cooked beef short rib, dauphinoise potatoes, braised red cabbage & our spiced gravy…

You asked… we listened! 👀

So the big question is…

👇 DO WE KEEP IT ON THE MENU?! 👇

Let us know what you think! ❤️

And to everyone who tried our little experiment last night — thank you for the lovely feedback and for giving it a go! 🥰

🎉 You asked… we’ve finally been able to deliver! 🎉

We know it’s something so many of you have been asking for, and we’re delighted to announce that WiFi is finally coming to The Lydden Bell! 📶

As many of you know, we’ve only ever been able to offer WiFi to our hotel guests due to the limitations of our rural location. But thanks to fibre broadband finally reaching us, we’re now able to extend it to everyone!

Whether you’re popping in for a coffee, enjoying lunch, meeting friends for dinner, or staying for a few drinks, you’ll soon be able to stay connected while enjoying everything The Lydden Bell has to offer.

A huge thank you for your patience over the years—we can’t wait to share this with you!

📶 Free WiFi is coming soon… watch this space!
