Gastro Prom brings The Bell back to life

The Bell was delighted to take part in the Rye Gastro Prom on Saturday 3 October,  when we became the dessert stop on the day’s gastronomic tour. More than 100  people joined us at The Bell, including 60 Gastro Prom ticket holders as well as plenty  of local visitors.

Jane Brook and her team at Rye Harvest provided the crumble and ran the bar,  accompanied by drinks from Garage Culture Brewery in Rye. And who better to  provide the entertainment for the crumble course than Lorraine Bowen – otherwise known as the Crumble Lady! It was great to see the garden and bar busy and The Bell full of people enjoying themselves.

A huge thank you to Jane for all the work she put into organising the event, and to  everyone who helped make The Bell ready for the day. In particular, we’d like to thank  the volunteers who came along the previous weekend to tidy the garden and bar, Iden Village Hall for lending us tables and chairs, and Iden Bowls Club for providing the tea  urn.

It was wonderful to see The Bell full of life again – and a small taste of what we’re all working towards.
