The Bluebell is a fantastic spot with great drinks. There's nothing quite like sipping a pint of Peroni in the beer garden on a sunny day. One potential improvement could be to explore the idea of putting up some hedging to block the view of the roundabout and cars, as it can disrupt the atmosphere in the beer garden. As for the food, it's your standard pub grub, but the small plate deals offer good value. Overall, it's a lovely place to enjoy a pint!

Myself husband and daughter came in today for drinks and a carvery the food was delicious. The mash was lovely and creamy and the meat so tender we were served on the carvery by Emma and at the bar by Amiee both lovely chatty ladies. The bluebell is a gorgeous pub the new managers and all the staff are lovely all down to earth and make this pub a better place to be. If you haven’t tried it then you need too you won’t be disappointed! We will be back soon

A really good hotel which is having a total revamp. Hotel looks a bit tired now but can’t wait to come back as I am sure it will be the place to stay in Middlesbrough. Staff lovely especially Rachel and Kaia. Clean. The bed and bedding etc was immaculate thanks to Deborah for that one. And got to add the Scottish fine soups in the bathroom absolutely loved going to order some for home. Well done to your team and good luck with the revamped premises x

We came in for some drinks last night and the service couldn’t have been better, the girl who served us was called Tegan and we couldn't have asked for more with the service she gave us she was constantly smiling and was very chatty. We also decided to get some of the small plates that were on a deal and congrats to the chef Ste as the food was delicious ! And with 2-4-1 cocktails on offer we couldn’t have had a better experience. Will definitely be back next weekend to see the live singer.

Visited as I knew they had vegetarian / vegan options. Couldn't find a kids menu snd staff seemed too busy to approach so I set about ordering a vegetarian burger for my daughter "we dont do a kids vegetarian / vegan burger". The astute barman asked a colleve about a kids version to be told "we don't do 'em" so I said an adult one wouldbe fine. "Just a plain burger in a bun tho please, as my daughter doesn't like the extra toppings".... Then, out comes my daughter's burger with vegan plastic orange cheez slices (swiftly scraped off) and the we hit some odd kind of dressing/sauce that was smothered over the bun bottom. Thankfully, after pointing out to a server that we'd asked for a plain burger they swiftly popped her burger into a plain bun. Overall it just seemed like poor communication. If they did a veggie burger why not offer a fantastic kids version, surely it'd be dead easy to add to the menu.

his it’s the nightmare hotel, it’s a old hotel e old furniture, however that’s not a problem for me, but when you have a bedroom with hair on the toilet e bed and dry toothpaste on the basin it became worrying. Complain about it and was give to me another room, as I was tired and no more rooms available in the area I decided to sleep on top of my bed with my clothes on. Breakfast the most poor and horrible thing I’ve ever had. When I got back home realised that I left behind my toiletry bag, with my perfume, creams and other things ( the bag was Tommy Hiltiger and a Versace perfume total cost over £100) I called and was confirmed that was there and told to me that it would be send to the address that I provided. After 3 weeks nothing come, and I was in Middlesbrough again, went there personally and they couldn’t find it, the guy there took my contact again and my address and told that he would speak with housekeeping to see where it was. 2 weeks pass and still no sign of it or any news. DONT STAY HERE, ITS NOT CLEAN AND THE STAFF ITS DODGY. Note the management: I will post this review in all the web sites where your name will show.

Used to live in m'bro, still have a lot of family here so have always used bluebell to stay while here, usually clean friendly and comfy, this time however, found the hotel room quite dirty, with stains on furniture and questionable cleanliness in the bathroom, we paid for breakfast each day of our 4 day stay, but were told on Monday morning, there is no chef, the manager on duty on Monday morning couldn't bring himself to say good morning to us never mind tuck his shirt in or smile, so sad that such a lovely place is being allowed to go to seed.

We visited in between appointments for lunch as we understood they had vegan food on the menu. As it was Monday and not too busy the chef came out to clarify what was vegan and what was vegi and she was very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed lovely vegan pie. Then noticed if we had have had a more expensive drink we could have saved £4 as it would have classed as a meal deal. When I pointed this out at the bar, it was apparently tough luck that I hadn't spotted this. I know saving have been pointed out at other establishments, I'm less likely to go back when it is not.
