About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Great for craft beers
The Belle Freehouse, named after the iconic B-17 Memphis Belle that was staying in Bassinbourn during World War 2, is a hub for traditional British pub meals and modern variations. Patrons can choose to sit in the main bar or opt for a table in the casual dining area. The venue boasts a log burning stove situated at the heart of the pub, a soft seating area in which to unwind before dinner, and a purpose-built, hand-crafted bar. The menu of drinks available is an important component of the overall experience, with a generous selection of real ales, lagers, wines, spirits and liqueurs. Sunday roasts, bar snacks, breakfast/brunch, lunch and dinner options are all cooked up from scratch by the team of chefs who rule the kitchen.
