The Blue Bell in East Riding of Yorkshire

Very nice good food reasonable price, not far from main shops and other places to eat. Opposite the green near fair maid pub. The food is better at the bluebell without a doubt, and less rowdy.

Went to Bluebell today for a celebration of a family members passing. The buffet was absolutely lovely, well presented and lots of it! Sandwiches were delicious, plenty of variety, as was the sausage rolls, pizza, pork pie, dips ect., The owners are so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend! Thank you Bluebell. Will be back to try the steak pie and Sunday roast.

Really nice, huge Sunday dinners, chicken and pork and lovely pudding. Very quick and lovely staff, made our weekend away. Spare pork taken for dogs too xxxx

Everything great , we had 16 of us ther for daughters birthday , and everything was great xx

Lovely lunch on a Sunday afternoon no complaints with my burger my partner wasn't as happy with a sandwich with her complaints that the chicken was very dry and that the plate was small and hard to eat off. Personally I would be happy to return again

Went to Blue Bell for an evening meal. Saw that a quiz was on too. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I myself had the Dirty Cow burger and my partner had the ‘I’ve got you Babe’ burger. Great tasting food at great prices and the service from the lovely team was excellent. Will certainly be returning, next time with a booking.

Great burgers, great atmosphere, even better beer garden. Our party loved the food and service. If your in cottingham and want a modern vibe to your pub, then look no further.

Friendly staff, great food and dog friendly. Highly recommended.

Has fast become my favourite pub ! Food and drink are amongst the best I've ever had ! The staff are absolutely amazing and very polite and professional 👏 Andy and Rich are the best 👍

Went in on Tuesday to watch the England game with my 7 year old granddaughter. Had a great burger good value and the beer only £2.70 a pint .we sat in the beer garden to watch the match no trouble just high spirits. Will definitely return for the match on Sunday.

Absolutely belting food, service and atmosphere! Couldn’t recommend more! 🥇

Excellent place to come hang out with my dog. Cracking beer garden for the sunny weather and the burgers and Sunday dinners are ace.

They put on an event for us and we had the best day ever! Very polite, staff, the Buffett was outstanding! They kept checking in on us to see if we needed anything. They went above and beyond

Fantastic pub in cottingham, great little find, food is top notch, we've ate their a few times now and can't fault it, great atmosphere, clean, well priced, has an amazing beer garden out the back, we will be back on a regular basis

Very disappointed with blue bell! Arranged my dads birthday meal here last week, pre ordered the food and still took over an hour to come through! Worst thing of it all the minute my 19 month old daughter had finished her tea I was made to give up the high chair for someone else so I had her on my knee for the rest of the meal!! Have told people to stay clear especially if they have children! Wouldn’t mind we were large party so the takings for our table must have been a few hundred pounds but wasn’t allowed to keep a high chair that I had pre booked months before!! Get more high chairs!!!

Chicken was very stringy when ask what meal was like I did comment but I did say I didn't want a replacement staff very friendly

Went to grandson and partner gender reveal. Garden and room where beautifully decorated and the food and service was very good and enjoyable time had by all. Big thank you for the staff and management for being so helpful.

Went in for Sunday dinner place was nicely set out .but that was as good as it got .waited over a hour for food to arrive, which was uneatable couldn't cut vegetables rock hard .gravy was like cement tipped dish upside down didn't even come out of dish .chicken was tough as old boots .overall it was a disgrace. Told the waiter was told nothing he could do as they a new chef .paid just short of £50 for one bottle of wine and two uneaten dinners .

I attended the Blue Bell for a meal. We waited nearly an hour for it to be served and when it did the food was terrible the vegetables you couldn't cut them, the gravy was thicker than wallpaper paste,the meat was fatty. We did complain but the staff didn't seem to be interested. Other customers complained as well. It was our first visit and certainly my last wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Richard, Sam and Harvey hosted a family function for us. They provided a lovely buffet spread, catering for dietary needs too, and worked hard to ensure the event went smoothly. Very easy to work with and so helpful throughout. Thank you all for helping make Mums day go so well.

Just been for lunch with my partner and two adult children. Had the 2 for 1 burger menu and it was not only tasty but great value as well. Took about half an hour for food to arrive but it was was freshly cooked and really tasty. The only reason we didn't give 5/5 is that there was not enough salad to go with the burger - otherwise all was really good.

Lovely little pub with the freshest tasting peroni.

Great pub and lovely food. 2for1 burgers on a Friday/ Saturday 12-4pm which are very nice. The staff are always pleasant. Can’t wait to visit again.

This place is getting back to how it used to be. Great ambiance and good food and beer

Great night out nice pub with pleasent surroundings. Food and service excellent will definitely have a return visit.

Great home cooked food and great beer, just like the old Bluebell!

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had and the service was brilliant 😁

First quiz night, maybe that was why our food, which was really good, order took longer then you'd expect to arrive.

Great atmosphere and service. Its been some time since I have visited the Blue Bell as I dont live in the area any longer. Called in with friends and had a great night. The place has certainly come on leaps and bounds, The Blue Bell has raised the bar (no pun intended) and is well worth a visit. Good selection of wines and beers, cosy bar area, very friendly staff.

We went to Blue Bell for a meal and some drinks. What a lovely experience! The waitress Alisha was brilliant, the food came quickly and really exceeded expectations. There was a good range of draught choices, spirits etc. The bar man Alex was friendly and chatty too. The pub Manager Harvey was spot on too, which is always great to see at a pub! An all around pleasure, I highly recommend

Our first xmas lunch visit..WOW outstanding! Food was just perfect and service second to none. Thankyou so much for the warm atmosphere - we will certainly be returning. Well Done to all staff x

The Bluebell in Cottingham is an excellent traditional village pub. It has a deservedly excellent reputation for its meals. There is a very good choice of traditional homemade food. The game pie is deservedly very popular. There is an excellent choice of beers lager and cider, including three cask conditioned hand-pulled real ales. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. It's a nice cosy pub highly recommended.

Couldn’t fault the food or service, awesome

We went here for dinner last Friday. Staff were very polite and attentive. Good choices on menu and most importantly food was delicious. Nice decor too. What was a real shame is that the place was empty at prime time on a Friday evening. The waiter explained that they had only recently took over so many people weren’t aware they had a restaurant. I really hope people catch on soon as we had a great meal and would definitely go back. Give them a try people!

Thought it a tad expensive for a roast dinner compared to other places. Decor very nice as were staff but quite chilly indoors

Second ever visit and first time eating. New owners Andy and Rich fantastic welcome. Food great and service excellent.

Traditional pub with modern decor. Parking is available on the road nearby. Well planned seating and full table service. Sunday lunch choices were good and all food was delicious and hot. Waiting staff were very attentive and friendly. Advisable to book and definitely worth a visit.

Our first visit since the Woolpack took over the pub. We were greeted warmly by very friendly staff and looked after all evening. My husband chose the shin & smoked bacon pie & I opted for sausage & mash (with a side of mushy peas). Both dishes arrived hot & plentiful. Just the job for a chilly evening. We are looking forward to our next visit & would recommend to anyone.

We went for a Sunday roast. I’ve struggled to find places that are up to scratch in terms of getting a good roast. This place was spot on. I had the beef and it was cooked perfectly, a lovely medium rare cut of topside. The chicken and pork was also very good!

Absolutely delicious . New landlord and a lovely menu. The food service was spot on and will be looking forward to returning

We both enjoyed our meals. we were greeted by a very friendly staff member, this restaurant will no doubt flourish under new management.

Heard BlueBell was under new management, called in for Sunday lunch. Wasn’t disappointed! The place felt really easy going, staff and new management are really nice. Ordered two Sunday lunches and drinks, excellent portions, food was great along with service. Will definitely return!

Popped in Saturday afternoon for a drink as we heard it was under new management. It has a miles better feel already. Potential to return to its former glory when Andy had it.

Nice pub off the main St, food is good, decent portions and price. Small cosy pub. Good range of beers and spirits,

Love this pub. Its my local. Great food and an amazing Sunday Lunch.

Went for lunch to be told not open for food. No wander the place was empty and everyone was in fairmaid.

I called in on a Wednesday night at 7:20 p.m., hoping to get some food. Apparently, that's too late. Won't be going back. Poor effort!

We visited on a Thursday night without a booking but there was just room for two. They had a Steak night offer for two steaks with all the trimmings you would expect, including a bottle of wine, for £35. It was outstanding. We asked for a rare steak and it was cooked to perfection. There was a choice of two wines, the Shiraz was a perfect accompaniment. It wasn't our first visit and it certainly won't be our last.

Miserable landlord, no customer skills, treats people like idiots, wrong person to run a local pub, do not take your children as would be asked to leave

First time visit absolutely fantastic

It was a wonderful experience. Staff very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the food and will definitely go again. It was our 34th Wedding Anniversary. A wonderful evening. Thanks 😊

Had great Sunday lunch. Beef was very tasty. Service was good. Had been previously and had lovely meal.

Gluten Free fish and chips were a good send to our guest who can't wait to go back. Another bonus place for the great village of cottingham, east Yorkshire.

Beautiful food and staff excellent 👌

Over zealous interfering pest of a man the landlord and jis wife the lock down marshall food below standsrf atmosphere oppressive the Previous owner was excellent much inprovement needed especially in manners i feel sorry fir the young staff who i coukdnt fault

We went in for a drink and asked for some desserts was made to feel very unwelcome and when we closed one curtain from the glare from the sun a rude man said to open it as the curtains are just for show turned out he was the landlord very disappointing and disrespectful we won’t be back

Wow!!! Just had an amazing meal beautiful steak pie and delicious cheesecake, compliments to the chef and what a lovely warm welcome, the pub has such a lovely decor will definitely be returning really reasonably priced thank you so much Anita x

First time to this pub,and me being a coeliac often have problems with what food to have,so I was most surprised to find gluten free battered fish on the menu,so opted for that,the fish was divine and the batter paper thin and crispy the best I’d ever tasted,to be honest the whole of our meal was beautiful and the owner was very polite and happy to help nothing to much trouble,lovely place so we highly recommend eating here and will be returning again.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Really lovely food, great atmosphere and wonderful service. We had the fish a D chips, steak pie, chicken Ballentine and haddock and leek risotto.

Excellent food, good drinks choice.

Popped in for lunch with the family and food was fresh and hot. Services was very friendly from Paul. Fish pie was delicious.

A perfect steak meal for myself and partner. Well presented and delicious. Lovely apple crumble too. The landlord went out of his way to make sure that all diners had they wanted. Two large parties were in also so he had his work cut out. Great pub/restaurant interior and decor - light and fresh. A really refreshing change to some experiences we have had. Thank you.

Welcoming staff. Good food Cosy outdoor area.

I phoned to check what vegan dishes were available. I was told by the manager..."it's not worth messing around for vegans" He didn't seem to understand that vegans won't go if they don't cater for them!

Absolutely 💯 Had a fabulous Christmas Day with great friends in a fantastic setting. The food quality service and atmosphere were 2nd to none. Can't wait to return. Well done and Happy New Year 🥳🌟🧚🌈

Beautiful Christmas meal, really impressed. Will be booking another night in here, beer is good and food dance’s on your palate. Good meal!

A very nice welcoming place and friendly staff

First ever visit and won't be our last. Just had mains and mostly steak pies. The food all arrived together, the pies were excellent with lashings of gravy, chips and peas accompaniments. The staff were very attentive and ensured that our bar orders were handled...

Can’t believe I’ve not been here before as it’s round the corner from me. I went for Sunday lunch and it was one of the best I’ve had. I’ve now been 3 times in the last 5 weeks. I’ve had their steak and tried the fillet and rump. I can honestly say they’re the best I’ve had. Cooked to your liking and rested well. I’ll be going again and would highly recommend. 👍

Been here numerous times for a beer and food. Came sat 9th Oct. The beer is 1st class, never a bad pint. Great cosy clean pub, easily the best in cott. Paul more than helpful. The food is absolutely fabulous and tasty. Compliments to Paul and the chef, well done. We'll worth a visit.

A rare opportunity to enjoy a traditional English pub, serving hand pulled ales.

Lovely pub in Cottingham. 3 real ales on, all excellent. Highly recommended.

Great food and friendly service. More interesting than the usual pub menu.

Just popped in the way home after a quick "Pub meal" Unfortunately I was very disappointed, this was definitely NOT a pub meal - it was a Gourmet Restaurant !! Wow, what a great meal - the pie was FULL of steak soaked beef, which...

Lovely food, gorgeous quaint setting and would recommend 100% for anyone visiting or who lives in Cottingham! Gourmet Restaurant level food in a country pub setting! Brilliant! 5⭐️

Passing through Cottingham and stopped off at The Bluebell for lunch, not really knowing what to expect we were very pleasantly surprised! Lovely welcoming pub with a good choice menu. We had a drink sitting in the bar area expecting this would be where we...

Fabulous night out with mates. Great fresh home cooked food, amazing attentive and friendly service and atmosphere. Faultless ❤️

The third time I've eaten here and each time the food has been appalling. Definitely the last time I'll give it "another chance" the first time was for Sunday lunch, they got our order wrong and served my daughters plate swimming in gravy when we...

Highly recommended - food, service, value & setting excellent.

I used to adore this restaurant, but it wasn't quite as fabulous as it used to be when I dined there the other night. They have a new menu, and perhaps I chose poorly, but the magic was missing. Having said that, the owners are still as lovely and kind as always, and the desserts... omg... the desserts were to die for!

Great food. Great atmosphere friendly warm and welcoming. Staff are great. Food and drinks both a high standard and quality. It’s a regular and will continue to visit. Keep up the great work.

My favourite pub in Cottingham.

We took our elderly mother out for lunch, and from start to finish the staff were so helpful, from getting a ramp for the wheelchair to sitting us near to the access for the disabled toilet, so she didn't have to go far! The food was delicious and came within a reasonable time for homemade food, plus the staff gave you time between courses too! Very pleasant experience would recommend.
