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.
On Thursday, 8th May, in recognition of the 80th Anniversary of VE Day; the end of the 2nd World War in Europe, The Bell at Yarpole will celebrate with an outside Bar B Que and Bonfire. Join us for an evening of fun. Good beers. Good food. Some music. Hopefully the Morris Men will add to the event. Enjoy our large rear garden area at the back of the pub.
As part of our Arts & lunch programme we are delighted to welcome Peter Gill presenting his Comedy Songbook on Wednesday, 16th April at 12.30pm. The funniest songs of the last 100 years written and made famous by names such as Victoria Wood, Noel Coward, Flanders and Swan, Tom Lehrer, Chuck Berry, Billy Connolly and more! The cost is £20.00 per person which will include a 2 course lunch.
From Sunday, 2nd February we will be offering breakfast at the Bell at Yarpole. Breakfast will be available from 10.00am until 11.00am. This compliments our Barista coffee service. Add a breakfast to your cappuccino, Americano, Long Black, 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. We strongly recommend booking as servings are limited. Should you wish to linger and join us for Sunday lunch we would be delighted.
Use our wonderful 17th century pub as the centre piece of your special event. If the weather is good guests can spill out onto our lovely garden area. Take over the whole building if you are a large group. Or just use our original timber framed Cider Barn for your special celebration. We can supply the cider too! From birthdays to anniversary parties, it’s always a great feeling to bring people together over food and drinks. It is something we take pride in doing well. We can cater for groups of all sizes; up to 50 people for a full sit down meal. Meet with us to plan every aspect of your event. Start the process by completing the online enquiry form. If your event is on a Monday or Tuesday when we are normally closed; don’t worry! We can still make arrangements for your event.
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.
Please contact us to discuss your needs.
