We had cheese pie, caesar salad and I had chicken fajita. They really enjoyed theirs. Mine only came with one fajita, overcooked and dry. It came with chips. Why not serve 2 warmed fajitas not cut in half and no chips. The chicken, onion and peppers was good

We had a birthday meal for a family member and the service and food were spot on. We wanted a venue that could cater for 11 of us and offered a variety of food and The Blue Bell did not disappoint.

I will not be going back to The bluebell food came out bruschetta was hard cold bits of bread and a bowl of mushy tomatoes with big chunks of garlic. The Philly cheese steak watery yellow cheese hard onions and peppers and no jalapeños I asked for jalapeños for them to come 10 minutes later cold in a bowl. If you want a nice pub lunch avoid this place at all cost.

My dining experience at The Bluebell in Monton was elevated to new heights by the outstanding service provided by Emily. Her extensive knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine passion for her work truly set her apart. I 100% recommend visiting The Bluebell and requesting Emily as your waitress. You can trust that she will go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of extraordinary. Bravo, Emily, and thank you for an enjoyable evening!

This is a good pub. Went on a Thursday night for the pub quiz. Service excellent. I would have marked better but I was not happy with 1) Being almost surrounded by customers at 3 tables who brought their dogs with them. 2) The gents toilets. I last visited here 6 months ago and was dismayed that the lock on the toilet door was missing. 6 months later it has still not been fixed! Basic stuff.

I used to love their steak pie - big chunks of tender steak, superb pastry, lovely gravy, but not anymore! I can only describe the filling as mush, with no signs of actual meat! Credit due, they immediately removed it from the bill & blamed it on a new chef! The only saving factors, the beer (MPA), is still good and Cool Hand Luke, you couldn't have a better 'front of house' guy. Looking at the Sunday menu, it seems there's been a downturn of choice & quality. Try to cut costs maybe.

Went here for a coffee. It was disgusting. Tasted like water. We sat outside, had barely been there 2 minutes until a staff member came to tell us, abruptly, "we're closing in 15 minutes", no smile, no polite delivery. With hindsight we should have gone somewhere else but we were in a rush. There are plenty of other cafes, bars, restaurants in the area so go to our of those and avoid here.
