The Blue Bell in Salford

Just had a pint but as welcoming as ever. I would recommend this pub to all especially families.

Nice pub not eaten only had a pint would go back.

A fantastic pub with amazing food and superb customer service from calling to reserve a table and a great warm welcome to the amazing table service and fantastic quality good. Neither I nor my wife can recommend this place highly enough and we recommend the sizzling fajitas for a main 10/10 😉 A hige thanks to James for such a great welcome.

Popped in for a coffee between jobs, coffee was very good and staff friendly.

Amazing table service from Zoe and food was delicious

I had the sizzling beef which was pickled and the fries where like cardboard with was unbeatable, but my husband had the sage chicken which he loved, when told the staff they took my plate way and didn't come back or apologise 🤔 I will never hl back

The food was excellent the staff friendly and helpful waitress was exemptional, very good at her job thanks for looking after us

Nice enough place but PLEASE teach the staff how to pour a pint of Guinness. In my experience there is only one bloke that pours correctly.

Wonderful and friendly service. Very attentive. Lovely place to stop in for a pub munch

Had a dj on sat night 20/07/24,playing only 80's tunes. Brilliant atmosphere.

Great food, here from the US and I love it. Just need lower music more suited for older

Good beer, good atmosphere, worth a visit

Food was more than I expected so unable to finish but quality was excellent.

Very friendly staff at lunchtime

Nice and friendly, excellent food, very tasty

Not called in for sometime but the staff including the security guy were very friendly. No problem getting served so I will be going again.

Went today about 5:30pm, Food was absolutely amazing! I had the N’duja meatball and mozarella flatbread and I was so pleased. I work in hospitality myself and know how difficult it can be but it tasted amazing service was amazing! Guy at the bar was lovely and was so pleasant, definitely will be attending again!

Decor needs an update looking tired our table had stained ripped seating

WHERE IS MY REVIEW FROM EARLIER TODAY ?????

Sat outside for a drink in the sunshine, did not have a meal

very expensive × the seats were dirty + tables very dissapointed won't be going back .

Great pub, lovely atmosphere and space to sit out in the 🌞

Lovely place to take the family for a meal.

Great pub friendly service nice atmosphere , 6 of us visited and all dined, the food was excellent and was even tailored to one of our parties requirments.

So happy to find this place. I have just moved into the area and having been looking for a local and a place to have a Sunday roast. Enjoy my first Sunday roast here and it is fantastic! Come and check it out.. you won’t be disappointed!

Lovely place, meals top quality hence the price, but value for money Another great visit, this time we had steak, no sirloin but replaced with rump, given 20% discount steak Thursday.

Great pub with well priced quality food. The service was quick and friendly.

Great couple of hours spent in the Bluebell yesterday, staff could not do enough for you and our starters and mains meals were top notch . Will be visiting again soon

I had a fantastic experience at Bluebell Pub in Monton! The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of options to choose from. The staff were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout my visit. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great dining experience in Monton.

Went for a 30th birthday. Food was ok, service great, friendly bar staff. However when 9 o’clock came security man came and approached my 15 year old daughter and demanded ID, when she said she was 15 he demanded who was her mother, I was sitting next to her and said it was me, he very rudely said you have to leave now. Fair enough you have rules but this person needs a lesson in customer service and manners. The only thing that marred my eldest daughters 30th birthday party.

Bad service. Raw food. Never going back.

Great staff and a good range of beers

Service was really quick. The meal was great.

Why do dog owners think everyone likes dogs? Been to The Bluebell pub today. There were several people with dogs who thought nothing about their muts barking and generally causing a nuisance. They all seemed to think it was quite amusing that their precious animals were causing disruption and even the staff couldn't care less. What with kids and dogs, doesn't really add up to an adult afternoon of relaxation and a quiet pint. What happened to guide dogs only and over 18. Nowhere today seems free of children and dogs, no wonder people avoid going out. It's more focused on child friendly and dog friendly than customers who just want good food and a drink.

Food is always amazing especially Sunday dinner but today the potion was a lot smaller than we normally have and still the same price so was very disappointed

Staff really friendly food & service very good. Quality of food good

very expensive for what you get just being honest

Great staff, very friendly, very attentive. Been with children and dogs, and both well accommodated. Emma and James amongst other lovely staff. Thank you. Traditional pub food. Well cooked and tasty. Nothing was too much trouble.

If i could give less then a would, being a local the experience on 3 times has been poor! I sent a polite email to the manager to explain my 2 visit on the 29/10/2023 to get no response. 'I hope this email finds you well. We visited the pub once or twice a month for food as a treat and was super impressed with the food and your staff, however my last 2 visits I was sadly disappointed. We visited on Wednesday 18th Oct for lunch, myself, my toddler, my mum, my brother and pregnant girlfriend. This was a family meal before she went into hospital on the 19th Oct. Sadly after biting into onion ring what looked to be like black hair through the batter, I reported this to your staff who informed the kitchen. She was very apologetic and gave my brothers gf the paperwork with her name and details to complete regarding the food. She returned and informed us the kitchen have said its the netting and it unharmful ( sadly my brother gf was worried due to have her baby the following day and still not knowing what could of potentially been in the food she had just eaten. The only apology offered was to remove the onion rings from the bill. We visited today and was seated at the bottom end near the kitchen, the language from the kitchen was awful. To be sat with my toddler and 2 daughters and mum. I'd just finished work and wanted to enjoy my meal instead of bad language in the background and other conversations disturbing us. The food may I add was delicious! Once the plates was cleared the same member of staff asked me 4times if I wanted my bill! We was sat letting our food settle down and having conversation i didnt need to be mithered if I wanted my bill. In the end I got my bill and left because I didn't want to be continuously asked.' I received no response. On sunday21st I called for a final chance i explained to the person on the phone my last 2 experiences and no responce from my email. They reassured me i would sit away from the kitchen and email would be printed, again iv had to chace this up. To receive a response from a manager ... ' Thank you for your feedback. In regards to your visit on Wednesday 18th October in which your brothers girlfriend found netting in her onion rings, the member of staff who dealt with your table apologised at the time removed the onion rings from the bill and offered free drinks, coffees or desserts which were all declined. As you can appreciate there was not much more she could do and mistakes do sometimes happen. If your brothers girlfriend was worried as she was due to give birth did she attend A&E or go to see any other medical practitioner? Also the member of staff who dealt with your table advised your brothers girlfriend didn’t really say anything so assuming if this was a problem she would have said something to the member of staff that was dealing with your table. Your visit on 29th October 2023, you are right you shouldn’t have heard the chef say a swear word but we can’t help other people having conversations in the pub which were disturbing you, if that was the case you could have asked to be moved to another table or somewhere a little more quieter in the pub. Once your plates were cleared the staff will ask you if you want anything further or ask you if you would like your bill, if you would have said to them that you were letting your food settle and you would let them know if you want the bill then they wouldn’t have kept asking you if you wanted anything further. Kind Regards, The Bluebell Management Team' Clearly they don't have any customer training or value. would not Recommend visiting

Very pleasant staff. Food good.

Food is really good been a couple of times recently for lunch. Both times food was really good.. quick service. The staff on both occasions are really friendly and helpful. Lovely atmosphere.. shame its not on my doorstep as I would go in more often. A Lovely pub.

Just been in for lunch, i had a garden salad which had lettuce, 3 cherry tomato and a tiny poached egg in a small bowl bit of sauce, was charged £11.45 for something that looked like a side dish

First time I've been in in several years. The staff couldn't do enough for you and made sure we were well looked after. The food was quick and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

If you dont mind waiting for your drinks...

Went in for drinks only, had a great evening, staff were friendly and it was easy to get served

Visited today with friends for the Christmas lunch menu, food was excellent and exceeded Christmas expectations, staff were also very friendly and efficient, thank you

Very friendly barstaff. I just had a beer en route to eat elsewhere, but was offered a pre-taster of the Christmassy plum beer I went on to order. I'd definitely come back here. Next table's burgers looked lovely.

Brought my bf as not been in Monton in 50yrs. Old haunts..

Great Quiz nights with Steve Sale.

Spent over £150 just on food my chips was hard beans was cold son burger was burnt two daughter in law ordered chicken flat bread think u for to put chicken on waste of money very disappointing

Good food, good service, good beer. Nuff said

Me and a friend had a Lovely meal, the steak was cooked to perfection as I like it burnt unfortunately. Had a lovely afternoon staff very attentive and friendly 😀 will go back 😀

Used to be fantastic, quality of food, the portion sizes and the costs are all now very poor! Pie used to be an individual pie which was brilliant, now you get a portion that is 1/6 of a pie, terrible chips, crazy was like glue and for over £14 you would expect better. All staff used to be smart in uniform, today we were served by a girl in leggings, trainers and a hoodie! Terrible value for money!

Great quiz night didn't have food good night around

Visited with group of friends and had prebooked tables. Unfortunately one of these tables seemed to be in use by an outsider, which meant we were quite cramped. Meals were acceptable in the main.

Absolutely love it in there Great food, Great atmosphere and at reasonable price

A traditional roast type pub. Food good, beer choice ok , service good. Always room for Sundsy roast!

Been going here ever since I met my a girl in 1995 who become my wife, changed so many times but still an amazing place to be and enjoy the beautiful food with amazing atmosphere

Super friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of beer. Nice environment for a drink. Quieter than many other places in Monton, which is a plus if you want to chat

Called in for a snck and a drink. Both very good, service was excellent. We were looked after by a very pleasant young lady, Rosie. Good pub atmosphere

After travelling from Southport at 430 arriving at 6 didn't expect to be told food is only served after 630 and later find they took my order at 7. Butter chicken was fine but my son didn't like the lasagne. Said it was gooey on top. Should have asked for it be cooked for longer. But the place is busy on a Saturday after warm weather. Will let them off I go by the place twice a day. It gets busy and is popular.

Really tasty food & friendly staff 😁😁

Disappointing experience. Bland food, incorrect orders. Some rude and unhelpful staff. Expensive.

Great pub, welcome and serve amazing . Food was tasty and presented well m, definitely go back

Dropped by for breakfast this morning. Menu choice was great. Pancakes with bacon and maple syrup was delicious with bottomless cappuccino which was also excellent. A chilled out morning vibe with friendly staff. Always a pleasure to visit.

Had a great Sunday lunch with 8 friends, service good and everybody enjoyed the food/pub.

Been going to the bluebell for years. Has always been a local pub with a great atmosphere

Lovely sunday roast. Quick service and friendly staff going again Sunday it was that nice.

Breaking off from working outside in the heat, 2 of us had the same meal. We had chicken in barbecue sauce with a cheese topping. Garden peas and proper chips. The food is always good here and the staff are always friendly and give great service. There is plenty of seating inside and outside too and weekends are very busy. A good reliable place for a well varied menu.

Vibrant pub with great food and atmosphere. Good beer and friendly staff.

First time here, the food was absolutely lovely. The staff were super attentive and friendly! We will definitely be back.

Very nice pub located in Monton. Vibrant atmosphere. Decent ale. Pricey though.

Staff very friendly and helpful 👍 nothing was too much trouble for them, xxx most enjoyable 😉

I mean what more could you ask for from a Pub, This place has to be one of the Best if not the best pub in Monton.

Only popped in for a drink with mates. Massive pub, but sat outside. The barmaid Emuly was friendly and helpful. Pub has a fascinating history, displayed on green board outside. Good selection of St. Lees beers.

I really like this pub...I had the large fish and chips .the fish was huge and it came with home made tartare sauce .They did offer a choice of a smaller portion which maybe I should have had .Service was second to none and the waitress was very attentive and friendly.Definately recommend this establishment.

Really nice place to eat or just drink. Highly recommend

Went for lunch recently with the Mrs. Food was great. Nice a simple but done well. Staff were really friendly and helpful and food was out in a nice time. Couldn't fault it good, honest, reasonably priced pub food served with a smile for a decent price. What more could you want.

Went today for a funeral. Buffet was very good, excellent selection of hot and cold food. Tea and coffee available. Fine selection of beers, wines and spirits.

Well after coming to the bluebell on Saturday for the first time in years I can assure for me, my family and friends who all came it will be the last! If it wasn’t bad enough that the apparent ‘manager’ well, there were a couple, but the younger girl in particular with black hair, looting about behind the bar and gobbing off with a look of thunder and attitude when asked a simple question, the rest of the bars staff’s unfriendly morbid service to back this up was enough to put me off for life! I have been a hospitality manager for over 10 years so I understand the stress that can come with a busy environment, but my gosh, the faces that you see when you walk into a business, are the faces of the business. Jesus we’re lucky to be alive, try cracking a smile once in a while ! Will not be spending my hard earned cash here let me tell ya!

Decent pub with nice beers and pub grub. Dog friendly too which was a bonus

Always like a pint of JW Lees Smooth but sadly not available. However there was still a good choice of craft summer ales at decent prices. Customer Service very friendly overall.

Great value, fantastic food, good service. Couldn't fault it.

Kirsty was the best, so lovely and polite x top food x

Food OK, good value for money. Service brilliant. Friendly and helpful staff.

First ti at Blue Bell..we loved everything about it. Staff was warm and very welcoming..the food was excellent 👌 will definitely be going back.

Absolutely brilliant food!! Service was fantastic, a really great place.

A very nice big Pub good Food and seating outside in the lovey Village of Monton. I do believe it as Roman history about the Blue Bell

Great pub with decent outdoor seating for a sunny day. A good selection of beers, wines and spirits and there’s usually offers on cocktails too

Very nice meal. Staff very attentive. We'll be going back

We had a fabulous time the staff were great.

The staff were great the service was excellent,the pub is bright and airy spotlessly clean, the food was well presented and tasty.

Nice food for a pub chain restaurant.

Great food and very friendly staff, top local👌

Sunday lunch....Great value for money....friendly helpful staff

Excellent atmosphere, friendly and smiley staff and very tasty and reasonably priced food. Highly recommended.

A pub to go to if you don't want to be in the thick of the central Monton coke heads on the weekend. Good. I rate it. Food is cooked well and the pies are proper. Well done.

We came here for dinner today and I had to leave a review. The customer service by all staff members has been amazing, they are extremely friendly and we’re brilliant with my son. The food was lovely too. Overall we've had a pleasant time and it’s certainly made me want to come and eat here again.

Only give 3 stars as the food was disappointing. Staff helpful and friendly.

7 staff standing around looking busy - big wait on food and half the tables empty. Very disappointing
