We have been here for a quiet lunch several times now and it never disappoints. The food is excellent and the service brilliant. The curries are delicious and vibrant, the beer well kept and atmosphere relaxed. We love it! It is a rare find. The exterior gives few clues to the quality of the food and service. In our view this adds to its understated hidden charm and delights.

First visit today after the restaurant was recommended by a friend. It didnt disappoint. We came with our 3 year old son who was made to feel very welcome. We ordered 2 different curries and a chicken chow mein as well as a naan bread and all of it was fantastic, best naan ive ever eaten. The poppadoms and dips were also a lovely touch. Service was excellent cant wait to return

Fantastic food - very well presented and priced in a decent pub with well kept beers! Food is Nepalese - a mixture of Indian with a few Chinese touches - four of us ate pappadums and main courses and we shared 12pints with the bill coming in at £100.00 Service was excellent so we’d definitely recommend!

Fantastic find in the countryside. It was cold and rainy so a warm curry was just the ticket. Beautiful spices, tasty naans, and wonderful momo.

Fantastic place. Lovely service. The best naan bread I had ever tried. The mango chutney was also amazing the best I had in a long time with my poppadoms. Jimmy's special rice was also memorable. The staff and the atmosphere was excellent. I highly recommend this place thanks for making this a memorable evening.

Sadly not for us. Starters were ok but the main course was watery, lacking any depth of flavour, just chilli hot. Staff were ambivalent and a bit rude. It was not a good experience and food was mediocre. Never again sadly!

We found the whole experience very strange and underwhelming. Let me start with the positives - the food arrived piping hot and was properly home made. We have visited many Nepalese restaurants over the years, and have always loved their food, warm, friendly service, and the great pride they usually take in their culinary heritage. However this was not the case here. My initial brush with the “service” was when I used the online “Book a Table” form on their website. When I hadn’t received any confirmation two days later, we rang the restaurant, assuming they had not received my request. Turned out they had - just hadn’t bothered replying. Anyway we arrived with high hopes. We wanted to try the specials as they are usually fantastic in a Nepalese. The first item on the menu was “Gurkha Rifle Curry” made with the “chef’s special sauce”. Intrigued we asked what was in the curry as there was no hint of the ingredients. The waiter replied “It’s a curry”. (Well obviously!!). Perplexed we tried again and received the same unhelpful reply. So we tried asking “is it perhaps tomato based for example?” The gentleman merely replied “no “. We were perplexed and surprised at the lack of pride in the food, and lack of interest in wanting to help us choose. We found the whole service throughout quite cold and distant. Another great indicator of the standard of any Indian restaurant is the popadoms! Unfortunately here they arrived cold and tasted stale, and served with three very uninspiring chutneys. We all took a stab in the dark and ordered different mains and sides - but all five of us were left feeling rather disappointed. The icing on the cake was when my husband paid in cash, leaving a decent tip, and there was not a smile, or even a thank you. The man merely walked off counting the money and looking very grumpy . As this restaurant is close to where our friends live, we had hoped to become regulars. Unfortunately our experience here has ruled it out completely.

Wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this was not only one of the finest Curries I've had,but also one of the finest meals I've ever had. Class!

Went on a cold Saturday night, the place was not the warmest, many in our group kept their jackets on, the place was quite full and sadly this impacted on the service. We had to wait 1.5 hrs to get the main, did notice some diners eating later had a quicker service though. Food was nice but the overall price was higher than expected.

Last minute decision to have a takeaway on NY eve. What a great choice. Practically on the doorstep. Website clear and informative. Small but varied menu which we prefer. Chose to go in person to order and made welcome straight away. Had a drink whilst waiting and food was prepared in a timely manner. Staff very attentive and cheery. Food still hot when we got home. Poppadums fresh and crisp with 3 pots of dips. Chicken Akabare really tasty and hot as requested. Chicken tikka masala was mmmmm just divine, not too sweet and certainly not oily. Plenty of good sized tender meat in both. Rice well cooked. Garlic naans flavoursome and beautifully cooked. All in all a winner in our books. Would like to return for a sit down experience next time.

Having had the pleasure to eat at a Nepalese in another part of the UK i was very pleased to find the Blue Bell near my new home. A simple booking for a Saturday evening on line, welcoming hosts on arrival, a great selection of traditional beers/IPA Lagers and Cornish cider, we were off to a good start which just got better.... I had seen the reviews for the onion Bhaji so had to give it a go, two arrived and they were quite simply the best i have eaten, my daughter was told by her sister to have the Mo Mo again Lovely. Mains of butter chicken and me changing things up, the mixed grill starter for two ( i always have this in Hampton) Service 10/10 food 10/10 a return visit is imminent. Overall - brilliant thank you.

After hearing so many positive comments about this pub/restaurant we simply had to give it a try. Looking at their menu it appears to be classic Indian with some Chinese thrown in? Having never sampled Nepalese food before we assume this is where it sits? The pub is cosy and typically country with beams in the roof. Everything is very clean with the unmistakable aroma of Indian spices wafting around the pub. Biggest surprise was Tribute Cornish Pale Ale on tap - very nice! We were very impressed to receive complimentary papadoms and chutneys which made a lovely start to our meal. We had the mixed sizzling starter to share which was tasty with the spicy chicken, lamb, prawns, etc sitting on a bed of sizzling onions. When dining in an Indian restaurant for the first time we always have chicken tikka masala as one of our mains. This has always identified the quality of the cooking and our meal at The Bell did not disappoint. We paired the chicken tikka masala with chicken jomsom (medium) which complimented each other beautifully. A vegetable side dish, pilau rice and the best peshwari naan we have ever eaten completed our Ghurka adventure. All we will say is the earlier positive comments were spot on. We will be visiting The Bell many times going forward! Highly recommended.

Very tasty food, good value and good service. We received complementary popadoms with relishes, which was a nice surprise. Starters were especially good, onion bhajis and momo (i think that is what it was called).

Been here 3 times now and it never disappoints. The staff are lovely, they have Cornish beers on tap, but the FOOD!! I’ve never seen onion bhajis like they serve here. The biggest, fluffiest, crispiest monsters you’ll ever experience. I should have had them as a main meal because they filled me up for my curry to follow. Which was vegetable masala, excellent and not over spicy, full of lots of fresh veggies. My partner had lamb korma, cleaned his plate, said the lamb was beautiful. Pilau rice to accompany was light and delicate, and the garlic naan was so tasty and easy to eat, not stodgy like they can be. All in all a complete 10 out of ten delight. The chefs are outstanding, well done to you. We plan to be regular visitors and work our way through the menu!

I have had two visits to this pub. I really enjoyed the first time and had great food and service which would grant it a five star review. The second visit was the let down. The service was friendly and generally very good from the one lady and that is the only saving grace to prevent me knocking another star off the rating. We had steaks as part of the deal which is great value for money but my steak cooked blue was cooked directly from the fridge and still cold inside. I swapped my meal and instead had a gammon steak (which had a very greasy egg with it) as I couldn’t trust to get a steak cooked properly to my liking. This meant I had a meal I didn’t really want and had to watch my partner eat then get my meal once she had finished hers. At no point did the either owner come to apologies for the problems even though one of them took the desert order. The nail in the coffin was not having any discount off the bill. I am not one to ask for this and feel a good establishment would not let a customer leave unhappy and would offer some discount, even just a free desert, to keep us happy. Nope nothing.

Diverted here off the M50 as was the only place serving food at 5pm (they serve Sunday lunch 12pm-9pm). What a little gem we found!Felt completely welcome as soon as we set foot in the place. The landlord, and all the staff to be fair, seemed like long lost friends and were extremely attentive and lovely. The beef I had was fantastic, and also so local that I’m sure the cow had a Worcester accent! And don’t get me started on the home made puddings!We may well have to make ‘The Bell’ a regular stop on this frequent journey!

We order faggots chips peas that was fine. My husbands order was the steak and ale pie at £11.95 when it came it had 4 chunks of meat, when we asked if that’s normal she took it away smashed the chunks in bit and microwaved it and brought it back out. So not impressed.

After my parents visiting previously and recommending The BlueBell we decided to visit. I checked their website to ensure they had a children’s menu besides Sunday Roasts for kids and they did so we popped along. What can I say the girl who showed us to our tables was unbelievably rude. Having seen the children’s menu online I asked if we could have 2 as my children didn’t want a roast. Her reply was we only do roasts on Sundays and what do they eat Xmas Day? Although I was tempted to say to her obviously not as much as she does on Xmas day and every other day after that I bit my tongue. After this appalling attitude and lack of alternatives my partner and I drove to The Wheelhouse by The Marina. What can I say, lovely people, food, fantastic and wonderful views as opposed to The Bluebell where the atmosphere is as warm as an ice cube!

Went to the bell for Sunday lunch, a party of four. We had a Pork, Lamb and 2 Turkey dinners. Not sure about the Turkey but the Pork and Lamb were warm at best. Lamb was very grisly and not the best pork unfortunately. There was plenty of it and you definitely left well fed. So if its quantity you want this is the place. Staff were very friendly and good range of drinks.

If you are after fish and chips don’t bother with fish and chip shops in either Tewkesbury or Upton go to The Bluebell. The fish and chip takeaway service is second to none.

It was our daughters birthday on a Sunday..we needed to book a meal for the Evening due to family working during the day. After booking we arrived at the Blue Bell about 5pm, our orders for drinks were served immediately but we were given ample time to peruse the very varied menu. The Sunday roast was perfect, served on HOT plates,, all the meats were tender and the plentiful choices of vegetables was amazing including an unusual addition of red cabbage. Absolutely delicious. Only a couple of people were able to manage a dessert but again they were large portions and thoroughly enjoyed. Our waitress Aileen was entertaining but very efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Thank You All for making our celebrations so memorable, we will see you again very soon.

Staff were really friendly and explained that the food would be 20-25 minutes as everything was cooked freshly and that was no problem. we ordered rack of lamb from the specials board and salmon from the menu. All the food was delicious, the rack of lamb was 4 chops cooked to perfection and the salmon very juicy and tender. good portions so only room for icecream for puds. All the food we saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing and seemed to be well received by the customers.

Having been here many times and recommended this pub to so many people my friend and l were very disappointed with the service today. We waited one and a half hours for our lunch plus a further twenty minutes for our dessert. We gave having coffee a miss this time and just as well as we had problems paying. After several attemps my friend was able to pay but I was unable to pay by card. I had some cash with me which they accepted & I said I'd pay the rest next week when I'm due to go back. To say it was a farce is not exaggerating. They kept making excuses about the poor service but what ever some one says 11/2 hours is way to long to wait. Let's hope it's better next week! What a shame as the food is good.

My mother in law lives just round the corner from the Blue Bell Inn so it's very convenient for us when visiting my mother in law. She always likes it and so do we. Having visited the Blue Bell at different times of the year and on numerous occasions I thought it only fair to write my review now.

Booked for a birthday meal for 7 people yesterday. We had eaten there before and it was quite good so we had confidence in our booking. On arrival at 4.30 we were told we could only have Sunday lunch as they hadn't sold out of it so their normal menu wasn't available. Having eaten from their normal menu previously at 4pm we were disappointed before we even ordered. They asked chef if he would do the normal menu and they agreed.

We had an unpleasant soggy pudding with cold veg , one lunchtime. They said that we could bring the dog in , and then opened the door and said it would get rid of the smell

First visit here after driving past many times. How we wish we had called in sooner. The welcome was warm & friendly. The food is all homemade and piping hot. Everything was really good and my friend and l will be back again very soon.

First visit to The Blue Bell, very friendly staff, nice & warm, good choice on menu. I chose lamb shank with mash& veg (broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage & carrots) it was delicious, I am a lamb shank addict & this was the best I have had & at a reasonable price. My friend had fish pie & veg, which she thought was excellent. We shared garlic bread with cheese, both being in abundance, unlike some places we have visited. Slightly long wait for food, but as freshly cooked, hot & tasty when it arrived, worth the wait. Needless to say, we will be back, again & again ;-)

Four of us booked a table for dinner at 6.30pm on Sunday recently. We arrived on time. I was almost half and hour to get menus and to order. The food then took another hour to arrive. The standard of the food was disappointing compared to previous visits. Little concern was made to our complaints. Not good for an £89 bill for a single course and drinks. Having been relatively frequent customers, we will not be back.

We ate here after a recommendation from a local B&B.; Really reminded me of the old pubs I used to go too when I was younger and I loved it! My wife and I had a really nice meal from menu which offered a very large selection including food for vegetarians. It was nice to have a Ploughman's even though it was December! The price where very good and the servings generous.Great selection of draught beer. I would recommend this pub, hope to return on our next return.

What a nice place to just go and enjoy a coffee or even something more substantial. The staff that served us, were amazing and absolutely polite. The bathroom was clean and the facility was well cleaned and the atmosphere was great. They had the Olympic on the screen, but it was not so loud that it was unpleasant to be there. They got that right. The Decor was / is very well put together and created a really nice place to visit.
