Contemporary Country Pub Restaurant
The picturesque Hertfordshire village of Bassingbourn has a history deeply connected with the military, with the Barracks situated on the outskirts of the village. During World War II, the infamous Memphis Belle was based in the Barracks, and our decor pays homage to this, whilst maintaining an effortless village charm.
​
Whether you're enjoying a glass of wine with friends and family, a pint from our selection of real ales on draught or warming yourself by our fireplace with a cup of tea or coffee, The Belle is sure to give you a warm welcome, and ensure you feel comfortable and cosy.
