A Proper Village
Local
The Five Bells has been the heart of Cople village for over 400 years. A place where locals come for great sport, honest food, and a pint poured properly. We've kept everything that makes a proper pub great — exposed beams, an open fire, a warm atmosphere — and added everything a modern sports pub needs.
A Pub Since The 17th Century
The Five Bells has stood at the heart of Cople village for over 400 years, surviving wars, seasons and centuries of change. What began as a simple coaching inn on Northill Road has grown into one of Bedfordshire's best-loved village locals — while keeping every bit of its original character.
The exposed oak beams, thick whitewashed walls and roaring open fire are all original features — and every pint poured here carries a little piece of history.
