Fantastic atmosphere very friendly staff

Good food, good service and awesome atmosphere

Good atmosphere for a drink with friends. Did not try the food but people were not complaining.

Always a friendly face in “The Bell” the girls are lovely - Tracy, Stacey, Natalie, Marie, Tina, Molly, Abi and of course not forgetting manager Louie ☺️☺️ Food is also delightful!! ☺️☺️

The Blue Bell is my local. However yesterday I had a visit from two friends from Kent. We had a pub lunch. Chicken TM, Chilli Beef and a Sausage and Mash. Neck cool beers and Cider. Everything was as I expected and my ‘southern’ friends really r joyed the pub the people and the food. Credit to the city

Tuesday lunchtime. Excellent service, thankyou Barbie and colleague. First day of new menu. Noisy. Food good. Will go again.

Found the drinks very reasonable and the food looked good coming out the kitchen , only had drinks ks this time

Every busy 6pm Friday night. Varied menu but burger type. I was disappointed with Kitsu chicken. Not much flavour. Service was quick and friendly. Carpark attached.

Pleasant atmosphere, for a social drink or a bite to eat.. can cater for events too, competitive prices ..worth checking out..

Fab night out. Great quiz on a Tuesday. Fantastic service from everyone on the bar.

Fantastic pub, has the most amazing staff, great drinks and fabulous food. Lovely atmosphere as well as a lush carvery on Sundays.

The best local pub in the area with super friendly staff especially Stacey and Abbie who always make you feel welcome and they also serve the best Sunday dinners in the area

Popped in for food before game, was spot on as always ☺️

The Bluebell is a lovely pub, with fantastic staff, especially Abbie who is a credit to the management.

We had our Mother's Day lunch here and the carvery was excellent. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Great time, welcoming, lovely staff

Lovely pub with reasonable priced drinks and fantastic staff. I often visit for the Tuesday night pub quiz which offers £2.60 drinks, bargain

It was the first time I had been to this pub and the decor is old and beautiful. The meal was lovely and reasonable

We go in now and then always friendly staff good services from cloe Tina and the staff

Amazing pub, great customer service. Also dog friendly, staff are amazing with them.

Class pub good staff Abbie is class

Amazing pub, great selection of food and drinks. Some amazing staff

Amazing bar staff over the weekend thoroughly enjoyed my self. Made to feel welcomed by all and great recommendations on drinks&mixers by the bar staff Natalie

Happy friendly pub also dog friendly staff lovely and always happy to help highly recommended

I have never tried the food in any pub for years but the 🔔 seems very popular , especially Sunday lunch carvery 👌

Last weekend we had my partners baby shower at the blue bell. Stacey and the team were more than helpful, from letting us in early to set up, keeping the bar stocked up all day and cleaning everything when it was done. We often come into the blue bell of an evening and never have any issues. The staff are always helpful, happy and pleasant. Would definitely recommend the blue bell. Thanks again!

I would just like to say a massive Thank You for helping to make my daughters Baby Shower so special at the weekend. Stacey has supported us over the past few months in planning and keeping us updated with a great, helpful 'can do' attitude. We were able to get in early on the day to decorate room and Chloe and Tina kept everyone happy with a smile behind the bar. Th for was spot on with more than enough for the guests. Thank you to everyone. What a great day.

Food is either good or decent depending on when you go, staff are friendly too. Not the cleanest but it's not too bad, and it does get fairly crowded. Important note that pets are allowed and there are usually a lot of people vaping inside

Had birthday celebration in the function room, approx 100 guests, it was fantastic. The staff, from planning stages to the night itself could not be more helpful. The buffet was just what we asked for and the room was set up beautifully, and clean as a whistle. The bar staff on the night were so efficient and pleasant, cannot recommend enough. We are local to the area and in our opinion this is the best run pub in Sunderland. Its a proper local. Thanks a million everyone.

Had a fantastic night in the function room for a birthday party! The food, drinks and service was fantastic from start to finish! Buffet was all fresh and plenty choice for all ages. Perfect size room for a gathering.

Big thanks to all the staff at the Blue Bell. Hired the room upstairs for my Mother's 90th birthday celebration. The staff went the extra yard to make everyone fell welcome and so comfortable. The food supplied was excellent . Big shout out to Abby and Molly who served us all night with Big smiles and laughs. Highly recommend. Thanks Guys xx

Very busy, burger and beer great 👍

Good internal daycore,outside seating is relatively secluded. Food is good, and there is a good variety of alcoholic beverages. It was a sunny day, so we sat outside. Unfortunately, there were a group of young people who were drunk,loud,and using foul language, so we went back inside.

Had a Great Christmas Dinner, In There... Lovely Atmosphere 😍

We visited for the carvery on Sunday and it did not disappoint. Food was all fresh and topped up regularly. Good choice of meat and veg with a choice of accompaniments. Staff were friendly and checked to see if everything was alright with our meals. Only negative would be the small range of desserts but most of us were too stuffed for dessert anyway.

Always a warm welcome, the staff are so lovely meals are outstanding. Well worth the travel from Durham definitely 5star.

Absolutely love coming here ❤️ the staff are friendly, and the food is gorgeous. The best Sunday lunch by far. Xx

we travel from durham every week and never fail to impress. Friendly staff and delicious food with cheap prices what more could you ask for.

We travel 15 miles from Durham nearly every week to eat at the Bluebell, we love the Carvery, always delicious!

Have been going to the blue bell since 1970, but i now live in Leicestershire, so can only get up once or twice a year, I have seen a lot of changes, what happened to the blue bell on the outside of the pub?

I love Stace I love Louis I love the beer

Fantastic pub, great people as well as great food and drinks!

First time l’ve visited this pub after the football match on Saturday. Can I just say the atmosphere was fantastic, staff were extremely busy but all had smiles on their faces. We ordered the sharers and we were very impressed with the amount we got. Definitely value for money. We will be back.

Tuesday, 03/10/2023. Ordered all day breakfast as I've had it before & has always been lovely. However,today it was not only presented badly, (all items on top of each other,)despite ordering well done bacon it wasn't cooked to specification, lukewarm sausage is a health risk ( food poisoning & worms, common in under cooked pork products). Eggs were hard & tomato not cooked at all. I was asked by a staff member collecting my leftovers if I had enjoyed my meal & I let her know it was shabby, her reply was that it was a different chef.Maybe include this information when customers place orders, then we wouldn't have to complain about poor food. Very disappointing.

Amazing pub. Louis and the team are always so accommodating and I would definitely recommend! Will be back next week

Food Was served very quickly and all three of us had something different, it was piping hot and delicious, then we had a dessert to finish off our meal and we were pleasantly surprised that the cost was only £2-99 each, so for 3 meals and desserts plus our drinks, it came to about £40. Well done, thanks to the kitchen staff and all the other people who were working there. It was our first time but definitely not our last time.

Busy pub ,good selection of drinks worth a visit.

Class, cheap booze for match day with season ticket, had food that was canny as well

Went in the bar with the dogs. Lovely, dog friendly customers and staff. I definitely recommend!

Fantastic service, Tracy and Abbie in particular looked after us very well. Will be returning.

A warm welcome and friendly greeting to non locals good range of beers

Proper busy pub with superb beers. A little jewel in Sunderland.

Good bait on a Sunday. NICE pint of Moretti. Banging service from Stacey

Carvery on a Sunday is banging. Great service from Stacey and the girls. Nice pint of Moretti. Clearly clean there lines unlike other pubs

Good place to visit very freindly staff plenty of choices for drinks

Abbie and Stacey always polite and you can tell they enjoy there job always making customers feel welcome with a warm atmosphere a credit to the blue bell

Pathetic service! Asked about food and told me that food has stopped being served (7:40pm) even though I was told it didn't finish until 8pm. Told me in a very rude manner! Customer service always seems to be an issue here unfortunately

Great pub, busy on Thursday night due to free pool tables,staff are friendly and bubbly enjoying a laugh with you

Nice pleasant drink, nice place, strange barman tho, got his knickers in a twist over a table booked for golf players, tried to have a laugh with him but grumpy drawers springs to mind 😂

Used to be a great pub .Now even the bar staff can't be bothered to to serve customers.Dirty pub with dreadful beer. I'll be drinking in lighthouse ocean bar from now on .

£2.30 a pint for handpulled ipa, and not a bad pint either!

I like wine I love stace and louis You look after me

Great place to drink. lovely bar staff

I like the beer. And Stacey and abbie

Fantastic Sunday dinner, great for watching sport, huge range of locally sourced ale and wide and well thought out draught range. The bloke with the beard is 👌🏿

Excellent table service again on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.Staff always happy to bring drinks to your table.Great sports bar.

Great lunch here today, fresh tasty joints and a good selection of fresh veg. As usual friendly cheery service from the great team. This is our local but we do travel around and have tried many Sunday roasts and its certainly up there with the best. Thanks Louis and the girls

Excellent place to visit. Very good food and drinks. Lovely and spacious with nice comfortable seating. Wonderful pleasant and helpful staff.

Great night out good choice of beer and food

Great pub fantastic bar staff/team .Best manager I've known and have been a regular since 1978. Tracy and Tina, Stacey brilliant staff .would recommend. I stay in pubs every week and could not recommend this pub any more. Its the best best pub in sunderland by far. UPDATE 26.12.21 For some reason all the chairs were removed on Christmas eve .families were walking in then leaving as they had pensioner parents empty pub but no seats to sit on etc ! .boxing day seats available but music so loud we had to leave after a drink . Stonehouse need to address there policy on clientel . They do advertise sport including football etc . But play blasting music over the top etc . 2.35 pm

Great pub,nice pint, perfect place to watch the football.

Great pub and atmosphere with very friendly staff. Would highly recommend the Sunday dinner!

Tracy and Tina are magic. Possibly my favourite bar staff in the world.

Damp smell throughout, expensive and shocking service.. would not recommend at all..👎👎👎

Cheap and varied real ale. Very pleasant staff.

Well they sell Peroni So that's always a plus service was good bit pricey for a pint if you ask me but was a good pint

Bigger than I remember. Still great even after 38 years.

Great food brilliant value for money and excellent friendly staff and customer service.
