The Belle Vue Through The Looking Glass in Blaenau Gwent

Beautiful food amd lovely atmosphere

Ham eggs and jacket potato Cooked lovely and beautiful ham

Lovely owners they are friendly and welcoming. Stayed in room 2, and it was very spacious. Parking was easy. A 10/15 minute walk to the town. The cost of living crisis menu on Wednesday/Thursday was great value, good options and a brilliant bacon cheese burger.

Went last night for my birthday meal, owners and staff were very welcoming and the food was amazing would definitely recommend and will be going back

Me and a friend visited last night, after seeing pictures on Facebook. Upon arriving we were greeted by the barmaid who was lovely. We asked for Pepsi/cola and were given cans, which we thought was a bit odd for a pub not to offer draught soft drink. We both ordered the lasagne, onion rings, garlic bread and garlic mushrooms... Firstly the mushrooms came out a sort of grey sludge, very unappetising and not enjoyable to taste to make up for the way they looked. We ordered two garlic bread portions, one came out with 2 pieces, one came out with 3 pieces and both portions were rock hard. (When we addressed this with cook at the end she said she "realised after" which made us question why she didn't just pop us another slice over when she initially realised..) The lasagne - how these were allowed to leave the kitchen is baffling, when both lasagnes were different sizes, one fuller and one with barely anything in the dish. I completely appreciate home cooking - but consistency throughout dishes, especially if serving to the same table should be key. This was massively disappointing considering we waited one hour for the food to arrive. Owner mentioned she used a homemade cheese sauce but I could only see grated cheese added on to the pasta sheets.. not sure that constitutes a sauce. We expressed our dissatisfaction to the owner/chef/manager who initially took the feedback, but then started to question what we didn't like about the meal, as if the food couldn't possibly not be up to standard. I was even willing to pay something towards the meal but she just repeated to us to "enjoy our evening and Merry Christmas" making us leave the pub feeling that somehow that we had done something wrong... Fully aware I will receive a passive aggressive response back to this review, as seen with any of the other bad reviews for this place.

What a gem the food was first class steak was the best I've tested and maddie was fantastic will be back and will be telling all friends as I no they won't be disappointed well done guys you deserve all your stars

We visited the belle view as a family which has no baby changing facilities. Poor menu selection which needs to be found on Facebook and when selecting a meal most meals are unavailable. Got served at the bar by an underage girl who was serving underage girls. Premises were dirty. Pop out of a bottle was flat and was charged over £2 for a glass. Would never go there again or recommend.

Highly recommend They take so much pride in the food and so they should was absolutely amazing. Food came out looking just like their photos👌👌 Can't wait to cone back

Very disappointing experience. The staff was nice but very lost - no menus or receipts available; food was really basic and they make a mistake on my pre order food - we order a vegetarian meal that came with 3 small sausages. The place has a lot of potential but it was not a good experience. Note for the lovely burguer in the next tables, perhaps we were just unlucky.

The staff appear friendly and the setting is nice. Found it quite funny to see a bath with play balls in it as we walked through the door. Felt like a nice atmosphere. I was one of 3 who had starters. I had the garlic mushrooms. Possibly one of the worst dishes I have ever had. Hardly any mushrooms in a thick stodgy bland sauce over half of a roll. Needless to say I couldn’t eat it. But then I had half an hour looking at it before the plate was cleared away. When the mains come out they were nicely presented but not very large portions. The chips were the best part of the meal. My friend had a lasagne which had the richest tomato taste going. It said on the menu lasagne with salad and chips. There was no salad. I had more salad with my steak pie. We was going to have a pudding but decided not to risk it. I felt it was a lot of money for poor food. I left still hungry. Overall, Very disappointing experience and won’t be returning sadly.

Food was perfect had a blue steak and wow was it good ..my wife had lasagne nothing but homemade ,,Girls serving on tables were polite ,well dressed and couldn't do enough for you ..Will be going back soon ..THANKYOU THE BELLE VUE

Food doesn't look like pictures I order blue burger it was missing the mushrooms and onion rings triple cooked chips were dark brown there were 9 of us dining they were slow the first 1 had finished they meal by the time the last person was served the place is in need of a deep clean if I had saw the back room before food had arrived I would not have eaten there we visited 3 months ago all I can say is how down hill the place has gone no value for money over priced dryer up for won't be going there again

Food arrived over an hour late, was stone cold. As for the food itself, the meat was dried out, everything was very bland, like they hadn't used any salt. The Yorkshire puddings were burnt and black on the bottom. Overall, the food was terrible, cold and an hour late. I will not be ordering again and would advise anyone to avoid

Excellent food staff very polite and friendly will be coming back recommend too too anyone beautiful pub

I have never experienced such disgusting customer service in all my life. At 1310 I ordered a roast beef dinner, with a side of cauliflower cheese, a lemon Fanta and a Kinder Bueno milkshake. On Uber Eats, it’s stated that the delivery time was between 5 and 25 minutes. (Expected at 13:35 latest) 15 minutes into ordering, I had a notification telling me that Bellevue had changed the delivery to 1345-14:05. No problem I know it’s busy on a Sunday. At 1405 my food still hadn’t come, so I rang the pub. The owner told me that it would be there in the next 20 minutes, (delivery at 14:25) total of 1 hour 15 mins. I explained that I had to go to work in the next half an hour as the amended delivery time was supposed to be at 1405. My order arrived at 1425, the delivery driver handed over my food, and I saw the milkshake and no straw. I asked oh is there any straw for the milkshake? His response was no we don’t give straws out for milkshakes. I was taken aback, but said okay no problem and I shut the door. When I looked closer I had received a tango when I ordered Fanta lemon. I understand you can swap for substitutes but I had no apology for them not giving me what I ordered, also gravy was missing. I open the door and luckily caught the driver who was rolling his eyes, I said sorry but you’ve brought the wrong Karen and the gravy is missing. His response was can’t do anything about it they might have not had it at the pub. At this point I was a bit miffed, so I said okay and shut the door. I rang the pub and spoke to a lady Who I assume is the owner because your husband is the delivery driver. The woman told me that the delivery driver would not be coming back with the gravy because I spoke to him in a demeaning and derogatory manner. I think this is an absolute joke, I did not raise my voice, I did not swear, and I wasn’t patronising. I was just annoyed that half of my order wasn’t right. When I asked the woman if I was going to be reimbursed for the missing items she said you’re not having your money back and I reported you to Uber eats. At this point I become extremely annoyed as she was patronising me calling me ‘lovely’. I was told never to order from the pub again and not to bring back She then put the phone down on me. I rang back, livid wanting an explanation for why I was being treated like this, I swore once out of anger because of the way I’m being spoken to and then the woman starts having a go saying after you just swore at me I can completely believe that you spoke to my husband the delivery driver in a derogatory and demeaning way. I will not be ordering from the pub again. I have The conversation recorded, taken photos and sent a report to Uber eats. I I decided to spend my hard earned money at this establishment and this is what I get in return. No apology just rudeness and The feeling of entitlement.

What can i say, wonderful welcome and the food! We arrived early for our table but were welcomed to sit in the garden area for drinks! We were seeted then and out food arrived piping hot and tasty to boot! I chose the beer battered cod and it was huge with the most deliciously flavoured batter. The rest chose from the burger menu and were huge and such a large variety to choose from. The decor is both modern and beautiful with a bath of balls and balloon wall for picture oppertunitys. All in all we will be back, a big shout out to Maddie for the fab service also.

What a great find! Went with big group for Sunday roast and food was great, really good value for money. People running the place looked after us all so well and we will be back!

We came here for a meal with the family for a 40th birthday party. The owners were so welcoming and could not do enough for us. Food served was lovely - I would recommend the pie! Thank you for a brilliant night celebrating - we will definitely be returning!

Another fab meal at the belle,, burgers and chicken skewers was very tasty 😍Always welcomed with a smile and happy banter! Great service by all the family!! Loving that it’s just on our doorstep! 11 out of 10 love the place

The food was decent and the staff were really pleasant amd seemed to be enjoying their job. The wait for food was relatively short. I can't comment on the desserts because I didn't have one but my main course was good, as was the main courses of our friends.

Brilliant food and great service as well, you can't ask for more than that

Had the most beautiful Sunday lunch here for my father in law’s Birthday. Food was amazing and cooked to perfection. The homemade cheesecake was unreal and it was a very reasonable price.. Staff were amazing and nothing was to much trouble. Had Sunday lunch at a place not to far away from the belle recently and this knocked spots off it.

Just had food delivery of 2 steak Baguette meals, really disappointed, over cooked steak, mushrooms burnt, very little sauce, been wanting to try this for a while, very overpriced for what we had.

Regular customers, always extremely well accommodated & welcomed. Food and service is 10/10. We always try something new on the menu & all are always amazing! Can’t recommend enough!

Had a lovely family meal at the Belle View on Friday for my mother’s birthday. The food was good and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We all had a really nice evening - thank you! Will return again!

Amazing Serivce, lovely atmosphere. Food is delicious. Would highly recommend for any occasion! Will definitely visit again.

We ordered burgers and loaded fries through deliveroo after seeing rave reviews and tempting pictures of the food. What we received was very disappointing, tepid and soggy.. the burgers were lacking, as in there was only a single pattie when there should have been 2. All the other bits that should have been in the bun were also missing. Same with the undercooked fries, bacon was undercooked too and foul cheese topping, the chipotle sauce was missing. All I can think is that it was probably the last order and I know they had been busy, so could have run out of the bits we were missing, but then throw something else in to compensate? Another cocktail could have made up for it, which by the way was very nice. I doubt we will order again, it was quite expensive for what we got and the quality did not match the price.

Visited the Bell today for Sunday lunch. The food was stunning and very well presented. The staff were so friendly really couldn't do enough for you. We will definitely be visiting again.
