The story

The Old Bell Inn Delph | AA 1 Rosette Modern British Dining

The Kitchen and Local Produce

The Old Bell Inn in Delph presents Modern British dining grounded in seasonal sourcing. The kitchen prepares fresh regional ingredients with careful technique. Menus rotate frequently while daily specials change according to what arrives from nearby farms. This steady attention to quality secured an AA 1 Rosette for culinary excellence.

A Coaching Inn Transformed

The building began life as an eighteenth century listed coaching house near the M62 junction. Guests climb original wooden stairs to reach one of the eighteen guest rooms. Interior designers balanced contemporary comforts against exposed beams and stone walls. British cooking feels effortless inside the restored structure.

The Gin Emporium

Philip Whiteman curated a dedicated space containing more than eleven hundred bottles of spirit. The collection earned a Guinness World Records title for its sheer volume. Patrons browse rare botanicals while waiting for a table or relaxing after exploring Saddleworth. The selection offers a quiet alternative for those seeking refined British cuisine.
