Fabulous boozer. No food, but they don’t mind you bringing some/getting a delivery. Very welcoming and spotlessly clean. Well looked after ales, good wines and great atmosphere as well as sun trap beer garden (covered too for rain with wood burner). Brilliant staff who really know how to charm and look after their customers, especially Daisy, who goes beyond and above to make your visit a great one.

Great Pub

Fantastic staff good atmosphere. Enjoyable visit. First time drinking in salisbury and would recommend this pub. Old school feel to it. The speedboat in the yard is a good attraction for photos. Wood burner to extended back area. Nice feel about the place. Definitely worth  a visit.

Night out with family

I find a lot of the pubs in Salisbury a bit pretentious and can’t always feel comfortable in them (sorry!) but the Five Bells has a completely different feel, perfect for a chilled lunchtime drink with family, and great for weekend nightlife too. Great selection of draught beers/lagers/ciders. Fun staff/landlord and awesome music!

Proper pub!

A lovely evening with a large group of friends. The staff were friendly, efficient, helpful and always smiling.
They didn't do food, but were more than happy for us all to bring in fish and chips, and provided all the cutlery, last and pepper for us.
A great evening, enhanced by the staff.

Lovely, fun evening!

Came in for a meal but didn’t get past the stale beer, barman said he thought it was off but served it anyway.
Can’t recommend it - such a shame as it’s a nice interior.
Other better places in town and definitely it you want a beer which doesn’t have taste like vinegar

Beers off

The pub is lovely,  the staff are too  we only has drinks and sat in the garden which is nicely decorated with lights etc not forgetting the famous speed boat.The only let down are the toilets, absolutely disgusting, can't understand why these weren't updated when the rest of the pub was refurbished.  

Horrible toilets 🚻 

Food very poor and overpriced. No hand sanitizer or masks worn by staff. Improvement needed  it in a prime position but needs a lot of thought into its future to succeed did not feel,safe there re hygiene.

Food and COVID-19   Was amazed

I really want to support this new venture. It’s an interesting pub and I hope it succeeds but my experience on Friday 17th December wasn’t good. I was charged £16 for two pints and questioned it. The barmaid had mistakenly charged me for three drinks because the barman had placed my drinks next to a pint belonging to another customer. Fair enough mistake but barmaid grudgingly scraped £4.50 (!) out of the till and gave it to me with a scowl. Because of Covid restrictions I assume that’s why the back door was open but unfortunately this meant the fumes from the smokers was blowing in so the whole place smelt of fags. Pie counter is a great idea but the charcoal sausages look like they’ve been cooked by a drunk dad at a barbecue. Seems like these are issues that can be easily remedied but I’ve seen so many new ventures go to the wall because they can’t get entry-level hospitality right.

Hospitality A Low Priority

Heard about this place from the TV's C4 Sunday Brunch which bigged them up and mentioned the speedboat..
Went there for lunch to find only Pie, Mash & Gravy, Hot Sausages or a Scotch Roll on the menu.
Opted for the Pie & Mash but what was served up looked disgusting. Pie was burn't and only a measly amount of mash potato (which looked more like gruel), my partner even found a hair in her pie 🤢Charged £10 each for the privelge
Cant believe the reviews that have been written on here, maybe we just picked a bad day..?

Pub Food

Almost 5 stars. The new management have turned around the 5 bells. Its kept a traditional pub atmosphere and is friendly and fun. I would have given 5 stars but the only draught was Doombar as the other two pumps were off. That said the Doombar was good if just a little standard.
