About

The Bell

Sitting on The Green in Hempton, just outside Fakenham, The Bell is a traditional Norfolk pub that has been trading since at least the era when three inns served this small village. It now stands as the sole survivor of those three, the other two having closed or been converted to private use. Inside, two large screens show live sport in the bar and lounge; outside, there is seating, parking, and dogs are welcome.
