The False Bell Tavern
It's a two stories building that, from the outside, looks rather squat, despite its sloped roof.
At the front of the main entrance, under an overhang, there are two long tables with benches to sit and eat outside.
The main floor is one large room with two fireplaces, one in the center of the hall, one to the side.
Long tables with benches cover most of the main floor except for the smaller section around the fireplace to the side, where a couple of small tables with chairs and a large couch cover the entire corner.
At the back of the main hall, a counter runs along almost the entirety of the wall, separating the taps,kegs and cooking area from the front of the house.
Several rectangular braziers full of glowing embers are used to cook a variety of dishes, right next to the table where beer, mead and the occasional smaller keg of wine can be found. Wicker baskets with cheese, veggies and various cuts of cured meats hang from the ceiling.
There are a fair number of smallish windows, with thick and small panes of glass that let some light in during the brightest hours of the day. Rather heavy looking candelabra hang from the ceiling and provide most of the light.
In a corner at the back of the kitchen area, a small door leads to the private quarters of the Inkeeper and his family.
A few steps lead down to a semi-interred pantry where the the more perishable goods are placed and the maid has her straw bed.,
To the side, a door leads to the room where the Innkeeper, his wife and their little daughter live when they are not in the tavern.
To one side of the building, an external staircase leads to the upper floor, which is much smaller than the tavern itself, and consists in one private dining room for special occasions, and a second room that is usually left empty other than for a basin of water, a large bed a large iron cast tub and a few lanterns. Both rooms have independent entrance.
