Dive into succulent steak menu at The Bells Steakhouse, Silkstone
First impressions?
We’re greeted by smiling and attentive staff as soon as we walk in the door of the restaurant, which has a beautiful decor, and really lovely buzzy atmosphere, with the history of the venue celebrated on every wall.
What was on the menu?
This is premium dining, with everything from exotic bites to traditional favourites. The main draw, of course, is an extensive and separate steak menu featuring rump, rib-eye, fillet, t-bone and a 160z Chateaubriand, plus a selection of steak sauces.
Any highlights?

Room for improvement?
After a previous drop in popularity, this steakhouse overhauled itself – new chef, new staff, new menus – and is now, in my opinion, thriving.
Was it value for money?
For a variety of all three courses plus a selection of drinks, we were happy at £104.40.
How was the service?
Great – we were made to feel like regulars from the moment we stepped in the door. We were particularly thrilled with how lovely the staff were with our daughter, taking the time to chat with her and bring her crayons. The manager came over to check our meal was nice, everyone was attentive, without being too fussy.
Is everyone catered for?

Would you return, or recommend to a friend?
Absolutely, I’ve been raving about this place to everyone since this visit, and have already taken the whole family back for Sunday dinner. Really impressive.
