The Bell at Yarpole is a community owned pub in the stunning black and white village of Yarpole, located midway between the market towns of Ludlow and Leominster. Currently run by the community, and a team of enthusiastic volunteers. The pub is closed on a Monday & Tuesday (apart from Bank Holidays and special events). Join us for a games and social evening on Wednesday evenings; often accompanied by live folk music. Open from 5pm on Wednesday & Thursday. Open from midday, serving lunches, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Evening meals available from 6pm.
Make use of our high speed, free internet.
Ales, ciders and outstanding wines.
Local lagers, ales and ciders are available on tap. We have recently teamed up with Wye Valley Brewery as our lead brewer. We have their pale ale, Fandango, their stout, Nightjar and their lager, 1985 all available on draught. We also stock Gasping Goose; a local cider from Newton Court just south of Leominster. Guest ales are also available, different beers from our local producers The Ludlow Brewing Company Three Tuns, Hobsons and Wye Valley.
We are located in the heart of the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. A stones throne from many beautiful walks, including the gorgeous Fish Pool Valley, National Trust sites, and treasures like Ludlow Castle. The Yarpole circular walk can be started and finished at the Bell. Yarpole Bell Tower, next to St Leonard’s church, is one of the oldest timber frame structures in England. It was erected in 1187.
We are happy to welcome motorhomes and camper vans on our off-road car park behind the pub. We require stopover guests to use the pub in some capacity – with a recommended minimum spend of £20 for use of our facilities.
Facilities in the village include an award winning community Shop and Post Office. There is also a Gallery Café in the church. Both the Shop and the Gallery café are run by volunteers.
We will be serving our Valentines menu at the Bell on Friday, 14th February and Saturday, 15th February in the evening. We think it is a great menu and we hope you will like it. It is available to couples, friends or a group of friends. Come and enjoy a great night out. If you fancy coming and would like to book a table, please use the link below.
In celebration of the Year of the Green Snake the Bell will be serving a Chinese meal on Thursday, 27th February. The meal will be served buffet style offering a choice of – Sweet and Sour Pork Chicken Chow Mein Sticky Beef Vegetable Lo Mein noodles Served with egg fried rice or plain rice. There will be additional choices for vegetarians; please let us know on booking.
Our first Wednesday night social of 2025 returns this Wednesday. As always it is an opportunity to meet up with friends and locals. A chance to play some games. A group of Folk Musicians meet every 2 weeks to play in the Cider Barn. Come and enjoy their music. There are no strangers here; only friends you have yet to meet. Enjoy our Midweek special dish. The dish changes every week; there is also a vegetarian option. A limited normal pub menu is also available if you prefer.
From Sunday, 2nd February we will be offering breakfast at the Bell at Yarpole. Breakfast will be available from 10.30am until 11.30am. This compliments our Barista coffee service. Add a breakfast to your cappuccino, Americano, latte or flat white. A perfect start to a Sunday morning. Meet up with friends or simply bring the Sunday papers and relax in one of our comfy sofas. Or make use of our free high speed internet. Should you wish to linger and join us for Sunday lunch we would be delighted.
Yarpole is located midway between the market towns of Ludlow and Leominster, and close to the nearby National Trust property, Croft Castle. The separate Bell Tower, next to St Leonard’s church in Yarpole, dating from 1187 is a must to see when visiting the village.
We are an ideal starting point for the Yarpole circular walk, over Bircher Common and through Fishpool Valley. There are several local cycle routes.
We are available to host and cater all of your private function needs from anniversary parties to birthdays or even weddings.
