Steaks were over cooked and everything else on plate was deep fat fried hubby only ate the steak total waste of money. Waited nearly an hour for 3 starters and there were only 5 people in the pub when we finally got our food and that was 8pm on a Saturday night . Best thing about the place was the lady behind the bar very nice

We visited this pub last year not long after the new owners had taken over and it was badly patronised especially on a Saturday night but the food and service were excellent. On that basis we decided to return following another stay in the area. Glad to say there were a lot more people this time and bogh the food and service was as excellent as last year. This is not a gastro pub or in any way pretentious. It serves good home cooked pub food and nice real ales. Service is bogh very friendly and efficient. 3 out of 4 of us had 2 courses, we had 3 rounds of drinks, one of which was a cocktail and bill came to £100. Excellent value at reasonable prices for nice, home cooked food. 5 stars for products and service.

Visited Thursday 7pm. Car park full, parked down road. Hot inside, no air conditioning. Staff friendly, seemed to be inexperienced. Forgot food, forgot drinks, but after leaving had actually paid for them. Did not bother contacting them as quite embarrassing. 4 adults, 2 x fish and chips which were 4 out 5 score, sausage ok but surf and turf for £18.50 so disappointing, smallest steak ever and frozen fried scampi. Had to wait for mustard as had to wash small bowls. We also had sweet and wish we did not bother. This could be so much better, very easy. Will not return and visit other village pub. We have not been here since previous propiertor and previous before that which was Sue and excellent and visited often. If your just needing a drink, yes visit as lovely. Would say the Amber Ale was fantastic 5 out of 5.

Absolutely smashing pub. It's got great vibes inside and out, fantastic service, and some of the best pub food I've had in over a year. The pool table and darts were a lot of fun too, and they've even got some tasty charity sweets you can buy on the bar. Shout out to Molly for some super friendly service and making sure we always had everything we needed. Whether you're after a local pub to hang out in for the evening or a great place to go for a tasty meal, I couldn't recommend the Blue Bell at Callow End enough.

I have given 5 stars for the food because of the exceptional choice of menu they have. The choice is endless and covers so much and then some. We came up from wales to stay at stanbrook abbey and called here for lunch and to say the least it's the best choice menue wise I've seen in a long time. So much to choose from and the prices are great DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING if it ain't broke dont fix it is the saying we will come back and I will recomend. CHOICES, PORTION AND PRICE fantastic hard to find somewhere like this good old fashioned lil pub

We've been here three times while in the area and had good, friendly service each time. First time for a drink and a sit in the pleasant garden, second time in the hope of food (chef delayed) and the third time to eat and enjoy a good early evening meal for two. This is a perfectly nice pub which needs more customers because it was a bit quiet each time we've been. That said it's been a good experience with good, friendly service. Nothing was too much trouble. Overall it's the lack of customers that make it 4-stars but it does deserve better. I'd be happy for this to be my local. Oh, clean toilets and someone has put a lot of effort in with the garden. Plenty of parking.

This was our third visit to the Blue Bell, a nice village pub with a well laid out garden. We stopped by on May Bank Holiday for lunch. The pub was very quiet but as there was only one member of staff on the bar we had to wait quite a while to be served as the barmaid seemed a bit confused by the till. We ordered drinks and food both if which were excellent and good value for money. My only real complaint is about the toilets. The gents seemed to have a flood, my husband said he had to paddle! The ladies was clean and smelled fresh but there was no toilet roll in the cubicle I entered and only one in the other cubicle when I checked. We will visit again but hope these things have been improved.

So we came in briefly en route to a dear friends funeral. I rudely but unintentionally said this is better than a motorway service station. We’d travelled 150 miles. Give the lovely woman serving at the bar a pay rise. She was so hospitable and welcoming. And the delicious ham cheese and tomato panini was the best either of us had ever had served with a little salad. Bluebell panini will be the future benchmark! Just a shame we live so far away. Thank you. Sara and Richard

Our second visit, this time for lunch treat as not often home together weekday lunchtime. Hoped for improvement over our previous Sunday lunchtime visit. Warm welcome from staff. Tables mainly occupied, again with those of a 'certain age.' We only wanted light lunch. Soup on one menu; sandwich on separate lunch menu. Soup was Stilton and Broccoli - tasteless and from can - served with warm rolls. A meal in itself. Our sandwiches were well filled and served with token salad. However bread from ordinary cut loaf and totally inappropriate for my warm steak sandwich. Disappointing on the whole. Nothing wrong but typical chain pub fodder. Still nothing to wow so won't be going back. Jacket potatoes looked huge so might be worth a try for heavier lunch.

Called here whilst stopping in area over bank holiday. Pub is very dog friendly with dogs allowed everywhere. Menu was quite extensive, shared chilli beef nachos for starter which was a huge portion to share for just over £6, I had lamb shank whilst other half had home made faggots. Both meals were very tasty. Good selection of beers and staff were very friendly and helpful. Was relatively quiet for bank holiday Saturday evening and would suggest locals support it more or could lose this good value, welcoming pub.

Having just got home from a holiday in Italy we fancied a final evening out but our local was fully booked. The Lion was second choice as it is not walkable for us. Very buzzy atmosphere, good pub food and , best of all, the most excellent service, from a young woman who seemed to do everything front of house and still have time to chat, quite up to anything we had abroad.
