The Blue Bell Inn in Bassetlaw

Stopped off for a drink whilst on the Gringley on the hill circular walk, very pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Got peckish and ordered a pizza and fires, was not disappointed, the food was tasty and good value for money.

A very nice pub indeed with a tasty gastro feel. Wholesome food and a lovely village vibe. Nice Northern Soul soundtrack too Highly recommended

Really nice evening here. Very welcoming and friendly. Lovely, quirky interior without trying too hard. So nice to have a vegetarian meal that's a) not vegan one-size-fits-all and b) not goats cheese! And if you like onion rings these were special! A folk music session in the back room made for a nice backdrop without being too loud to talk over in the next room. Will definitely go back.

We enjoy coming for the Sunday roast in the quaint surroundings. The prices are reasonable and the standard of food is very good with tasty meat and Yorkshire puds, served with a good variety of vegetables and plenty of gravy. The staff are friendly and efficient so I would definitely recommend.

First time & expected more...it too 15 mins to get served at the bar which had children running around!! Saturday only 1 person serving. We took ourselves to dining area to find someone to seat us at 6.30pm 45 minutes later our meal was served. Food was very good. No complaints there. No house wine option. £24 bottle bought which was very nice. (Retails at £7.99)

Love a little drive out and usually look for an unbranded pub to visit. Arrived at The Blue Bell just gone 2pm today. We were greeted on arrival by warm and friendly bar team. We sat in the restaurant away from the bar area. I had Wagu burger husband had Blue Bell burger Both were delicious served by very pleasant and efficient team members Great pub and will be back to try the steak on hot rock xxx

We have eaten here twice recently and the food was excellent both times, great selection and cooked freshly to order. Friendly staff and good social distancing and COVID secure measures. Will be going again soon - lovely pies

Excellent food excellent service very friendly and helpful Can not fault it in anyway Our waitress was brilliant Would highly recommend Very pleasant garden and very COVID-19 safe Well done 👍 we will return

Visited for dinner recently one Saturday night. Staff were lovely and welcoming and friendly. Food was ok, took a little while for the staff to take our order so we went to the bar to order instead, no great shakes. A couple of niggles, one more significant than the other. Firstly, in my view there were way too many people in this small pub, people standing and chatting at the bar, big group of people eating close to us. Just didn’t feel social distancing was happening. Second niggle was e cigarettes inside where people are eating. Just don’t like it, not nice. It is a lovely little pub for a drink and a nice big beer garden out the back. Just didn’t feel overwhelmed on this recent visit. Sorry to have to report this.

It's good that the pub is still open, but do we need a big TV screen with sky sports in the bar? We ate there and the food was average, bought in pies, oven ready chips, ok but not what it could be. White wine was warm, beers only average. When the rest of the UK seems to have taken to gastro pubs and craft beers the Blue Bell is stuck in the past.

First try at 2 fish and chips and a bottle of prosecco to share for £30. Fish as fresh as can be, great atmosphere and a bargin to boot, what's not to like! Great night Adam and team thank you x

Brilliant village pub with superb food. Welcome return to Adam. This is a warm and cosy place to chat, relax and join in the great village camaraderie

One of the best village pubs I know! Great food, staff and a cosy, friendly environment to be in. Without a doubt the hub of the village bringing people together. Well done Adam Kay, you do a fantastic job!

This is our village pub and it has been under new management since earlier in the year. It has been refurbished, the entire beer range has been upgraded and the whole atmosphere is a lot warmer. The kitchen is now open for business too and is doing a great job.The highlight of the ordinary menu has to be the pies which are superb. However, we visited for Sunday roast and family board games and the whole day was excellent.There were 15 of us in the group so credit to the staff who got everything right first time. There were a nice touches too such as the tray of extra (homemade) yorkshires which were superb. There were two roasts to choose from and a vegetarian option on the Sunday menu. The food was all very good, I'd single out the gravy as particularly delicious. The atmosphere was good too - Very relaxed but very nice with a coal fire. The pub was full when we ate and so it is worth booking because it is a small village pub and we saw people being turned away from around 3pm as the Sunday service sold out.The portions were generous so fitting in desert was a struggle and only the most dertermined gluttons managed this, myself included.

Approached Adam and his Chef Matt at the Blue Bell Inn to book a special surprise family birthday get together and found them very accommodating. They were attentive, friendly, communicative and helpful from the off, They promptly emailed a choice of Menus in advance and Matt and his wife took the time and trouble to decorate the dining room for the evening. The food and service from Adam and his Team for 14 guests was excellent and the dining room perfect for the occasion. Thank you for a great evening and strongly recommend!

This is a great spot for a quiet pint, or a night out with friends. Really friendly folk round here.

Visited for the first time with a new landlord and new food menu. A warm friendly welcome and excellent freshly cooked food served to all 7 of our party and 7 empty plates a few minutes after. Moo pie and the bell burger were the winners with lots of lovely chips ! A really enjoyable night.

Following a brief closure the pub now has a lovely warm atmosphere and welcoming staff! Quality live music at the weekend. Looking forward to good food in the next few weeks.

This is our local pub and following a brief closure due to change in management and a refurbishment, it is now a brilliant place to meet up. The heart of the village is back with a good range of beers, a gin list and a welcoming environment. To top it off, there are now regular live acts playing which really adds to the atmosphere. There is currently no food being served but hopefully there will be soon!

I have visited this pub on a handful of accasions in the past year and its gets worse every time. The pub itself has so much potential and is lovely ! The atmosphere is unwelcoming to say the least. Every time we've visited we've left after about 10 minutes as it's just far to awkward. No food no music and the barmaid walking about in her slippers. This pub needs some drastic changes to get it back to what it once was.

called in for a sunday evening drink to find the place poorly frequented, only a handful of loud males who were clearly the worse for drink crowding around the bar and using obscene language. The bar maid was slouched on a tall bar stool with her feet on an adjoining stool, giving a poor impression of the place and taking no account of a customers dog which was urinating on the floor nearby.

I don't know where to start the pub used to he fab friendly and full of atmosphere the last three times I have been its been dead no food at all being served not even abit of music playing you could hear a pin drop. I was put off that it was 10pm and a child was running about at that time. I think the pub has a huge potential it has lost its welcoming vibe it once had

Friendly pub staff with a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. Great food where you get good value for money too.

I try to be objective all the time when I write reviews, there are always positives, this place is an attractive building in a very pretty village with good access, however, how could they get it so wrong ?

Under new management recently, and a new chef has been employed in recent weeks.

This is our local, and over the years it has varied from very good, to poor. It has now reached a new low. I visited on Boxing Day and it was tatty and uncared for, poor choice of beers and wine, one member of staff on the busiest day of the year. Slow indifferent service.

Oh dear me it really is for us now we cant keep giving this place a second, third, fourth chance, it was so bad I've submitted pictures this time first time I have ever done it to be honest but the pie over cooked pastry was like rock gravy was tasteless and opaque the kids chicken nuggets we quite good with fresh chips however the adults rock hard pie was served with poor quality FROZEN chips? I mean why ? Carrots and broccoli were cooked but looked like last nights left overs ! The place was freezing cold it was actually warmer outside the Christmas decs were old drap tasteless and well pretty obnoxious being honest it was left to a customer to ask if he could put some Christmas music on by using his phone...... No atmosphere and staff like zombies no personality at all then the final insult £65 Bill wasn't worth it at all it really is all over well it is now for us drive past it dont stop dreadful establishment

Once again an excellent venue although car-parking can be difficult as there is no car-park. The décor has been completely up-dated since our last visit>

We had Sunday Lunch here and it was amazing. The pub is under new management with a new chef and it is definitely worth a visit. The waiting time was just right, the food was fantastic and the staff were very helpful. Enjoy

Popped in whilst in the village for the car show. Whilst walking round the open gardens we decided to have a drink, the moretti on draught made the choice an easy one. On such a busy day we weren't sure if we would very able to get a table but we were in luck and I had the roast beef. Beautifully home cooked and not at all overdone as so many pubs do. Husband had the steak pie. Very happy with this pub and will be back

We have spent a lot of money here over the years.

Not visited here for a number of months and oh dear what a difference. First let me say that the landlord was really pleasant, friendly and helpful. The waitress was very sweet but totally overwhelmed and inexperienced and was clearly very stressed.

This pub has started doing food again after a change over and now run by a guest landlord. Lovely meal with kids and parents. Lasagne, Hunters chicken ( enormous) and scampi all very recommended. Gorgeous chips and plenty of them. Great kids selection and very good value. Nice to have food back in the village pub . Thank you.

We came here after a recommendation but unfortunately were let down. The pub itself is ok,nothing special.We had the Caesar salad,which to be fair looked like it had just been thrown together. Unfortunately I've nothing much more to say about the place.

Too much faffing about just to get some ordinary food!! Too full of pretensions that don't help the atmosphere this place used to have.

Difficult this review because we like the place we used to like it lots, however the new owners seemingly have lots to learn about serving in the hospitality industry, particularly the land lady ! We have been served by the landlord and he seemed nice but his other half needs to go on a course or two me thinks! It's difficult to tell our story as we will kinda out our identity and to be frank don't really want to do that, our complaint is about service from the landlady who to be frank was rude, unfriendly, and totally not personable, seems to have a significant chip on her shoulder, the table service was poor vert slow and not personable although she was a lovely young girl, the food was very good we had pie in the restaurant which as the sign says is very much work in progress the second floor needs a complete makeover by someone with an eye for these things it's a right mishmash at the moment the problem is I think they think it looks nice !! It's not! It was much nicer previously. Better stop at that really the landlady needs to understand this is a pub people come in and will do really what they want so if a table is reserved and you don't want people to sit down but a reserved sign on it ! If you offer bar snacks and restaurant my expectation if I choose restaurant I'm not barked at and asked to order our drinks at the bar by you! - a restaurant should offer table service, and when customers are walking up the stairs to find a table that is acceptable to sit at and your then wanting to come down the same stairs it would be courteous for you to wait and let the customers walk up them NOT push past us and unbalance us for your information having just had a serious operation from which I am still recovering I could of done without it! Even our children picked up on how rude you were!

We visited several times - new owners are brilliant ' food and service marvellous . It's a hidden gem we will be back !

New owners just started doing bar meals. Visited tonight with 5 kids( not all ours) and 2 adults. kids polished off the sea food platter, Mexican beef nachos... a meal in itself and gorgeous, plus 2 kiddies meal and we had grilled cajun chicken breast burger . Just perfect slightly spiced, tender and juicy. One of the nicest burgers i have had. Fast efficient service. I'm going for the prawns next....x

We moved to the village a few months ago and, as we were at home this Christmas, decided to take advantage of having a pub just around the corner! What a treat. My family who were staying with us proclaimed this one of, if not THE best Christmases ever - a big factor being our time spent in the pub on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. A fabulous atmosphere; the pub was jam-packed, the Morris Dancers on the road outside on Boxing Day added to the sense of community spirit and was a fabulous way to celebrate the season with family and friends. The new management have just announced that their kitchen is now open for serving food so we are looking forward to our next visit. I would also add that never have I felt so happy to visit a pub with my children.

My husband & I visited this pub one evening last week and found it to be under new management. The new owner was very friendly, and plenty of locals drinking there always a good sign. A notice indicated that as they were brand new there was no food being served yet, but if the new staff are anything to go by, I am sure that will be excellent - looking forward to seeing how this bears out

Visited for a meal after recommendation from a work colleague. Lovely, traditional pub. We didn't opt for the black rock steaks, choosing instead the homemade pies. They were delicious and I can highly recommend the Billy squash pie - really tasty! Very reasonably priced as well.

Delicious evening meal with a friend - home cooked fresh food with good attentive service. Thoroughly enjoyed it - great interior decor and really a lovely experience all round.

Moving to the area in a few weeks time, this is the second time we've called in at our soon to be local.

Very disappointing, potted pork cover with a thick fat, and so saulty, scampi over cooked, few chips and salad chopped so small couldn't find the cucumber, i asked for tartare sauce they did not have any? The service was so slow, and it was all overpriced!

Visited this lovely pub for an afternoon meal, ordered the blue bell pie and cheesecake for desert and my husband ordered the lamb shank and sticky toffee pudding, all plates cleared!! ( DELICIOUS), absolutely fab! The staff was extremely polite and lovely and made us feel very welcome!!! Will definitely visit this pub again and again..AMAZING!

3 adults and a tiny baby of 2 weeks......and we all had a fab time.

We visited here on the off chance really as the pub we went to on a regular basis has stopped doing food! but what a find!! simply great, good pub food with good portion sizes and an atmosphere that was really welcoming.. We've since been back two or three times and have also booked up to go next week, so I have to say we like it!!

Nice old pub cracking pies and my wife liked the beer choice unfortunately I was driving but will definitely return we we're being nosy watching other people's meals come out and made us want to try all the menu

First time visiting here based on positive reviews. As it was a Sunday we ordered from the Sunday menu. Nice selection of Sunday roasts but apart from that you have the option of pies and a few other things. We ordered a starter of loaded skins from a specials board, and for 6/7 quid it was disappointing, just a small jacket cut in half and topped with cheese and chilli flakes.

Love the pie selections and they have always been really tasty every time we have been. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and the pub has a lovely atmosphere. The prices are fantastic for the quality of food that you receive.

This was my first visit here for many years.

Tasty menu, lovely pies with a great choice. Nicely kept real ale too which is always a bonus. Not bad value too, been a few times and always decent.

Charming little place to take my gran to. I booked in no problem. The food is great and the atmosphere and staff is lovely and friendly, a pleasure Thank you

Having visited this pub previously and enjoying excellent food and service, It was so disappointing to have recommended this pub for a family get together and received such dire service.

We booked for Burns night with friends. Food was fantastic with a good range of whiskies available. Cock a leekie to start6 with - nearly a meal i itself. Hence we left at least half so as not to fill ourselves. Then the delish haggis neeps and tatties. My friend had nevet had haggis and didnt fancy it at all but ended up eating it all and thoroughly enjoying it. For the main course my friend and I chose the salmon with whiskey sauce - beautiful! My husband and my friends husband both had venison. I tried it and it was so tender and sweet. I will definitely have that another time. Dessert was cranachy with millionaire shortbread. Fantastic end6 to the meal. As well as the food there was a folk band playing music and amusing poetry readings. A delicious fun night.

Nothing fancy, just a visit to the pub early on Wednesday evening for a relaxed meal out. And the Blue Bell Inn did not let us down. Clearly a local for people to pop in to on the way home from work, the bar was fairly busy but only three or four tables were occupied for meals. The pie section of the menu is entertaining, allowing you to select the type of pie, potato, peas and sauce in whatever combination you want. I'm afraid I stuck to the traditional Landlord pie, chips, mushy peas and gravy! And was not disappointed! The pie was a very light crust folded under, over and around a good helping of tender beef. Perhaps a little dry on its own but not with the plentiful supply of gravy in a jug. The only slight downside was the half hour plus we had to wait for the meals to arrive - I guess there was only one chef in the kitchen mid-week. But well worth the wait.

The hot stone concept is great and the choice of pies is excellent but on each occasion that we have visited over the last year the more "exotic" meats such as kangaroo and ostrich have been off the menu. This is a shame because the food is good and wines and beers are well chosen. Service is attentive and the setting is lovely. A wider choice of meats would elevate my rating to "Very Good".

Been several times now, always been nice food. The last time we came it was a mid week pie night. Excellent pies and also incredibly priced!

Called off for lunch with the Mr on our way home from Sheffield and i love this pub. Food was excellent good size portions for the money, really welcoming surroundings and staff even though we were the only ones in eating there wasnt an awkard feel to it. I shall be back frequently to this pub !!

Booked for 7.30 and arrived 7.00 but did not get our food until 9.00. The choice is a little different, steaks or pies seem to be the main option. I ordered fish pie and lemon dill sauce. At 8.30 the waitress asked if I would like gravy (with fish pie) or lemon dill sauce so reiterated lemon dill sauce and thought we were going to get served but then only to wait a further 30 mins. I was bemused to find gravy had been served with the fish pie so then I had to wait again so I was not impressed. The dinning room a little cramped and I was of the opinion that local regulars get priority service. The staff were polite but the kitchen needs to sort their timing out. I realise food is cooked to order and if there is going to be a delay, let your customers know. I will have to think twice about returning.

Table of six our aim was to welcome family who had travelled far... Easy to put right the issues that need sorting and really not trying to be a keyboard warrior here:

Visited here on a Friday evening for a birthday meal.

We celebrated our anniversary at the Blue Bell, Sunday lunch for 18 people & it was perfect! Food was served quickly & smoothly...hot, ample portions by very pleasant & obliging staff. They did a great job considering we were a large party!

The wife and I called in at lunchtime yesterday after a great first visit with our two girls. It was empty when we walked in but was greeted with a very warm welcome. We were told we could sit in any room we wanted and we sat next to the blackboard with all the lunchtime specials on. Great selection of specials but we both opted for meals from the main menu. The wife had the blue bell burger and I had the homemade blue bell pie. I must say the best pie I have ever had, Veg cooked to perfection and mash and gravy made it a filling gorgeous meal. The wife's burger was also mouthwatering tasty with a plate full of chips, salad and homemade onion rings. The prices are good for the amazing quality of food and still don't know why the place was so quiet. Another couple came in and ordered from the lunch time special menu and their food also looked lovely. Definitely be back soon.

Booked a table for 7 o/c and arrived plenty early so we could sample the real ales.

This was not our first visit but we keep returning because we really enjoy everything about this place. It's cosy and very friendly. The service is excellent and attentive but not overbearing. The menu is a little less than it used to be but the choice remains good with something to suit most palates.

Great place hard to fine but worth the search. Had a fantastic meal. Bit of a novel for me it was served on a slate. Good value good company. We met some lovely Australia. They we just as impressed as we were. Will certainly be going back. Excellent.

Decided to try it after hearing good things and we weren't disappointed the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend the pies great selection too, the service was also top quality. I would advise anyone who hasn't been to try it. I will definitely be going again.

Visited with two friends and baby, very welcoming and attentive staff.

We visited The Blue Bell Inn on a Tuesday night for dinner and the pub quiz. The quiz was good fun and the food was excellent, particularly the chips. The service was very friendly and we were made to feel very welcome by all the bar staff. We will be returning when next in the area!

Dissapointed with play area ,only reason for going. Scampi delicious but my child's fish was paper thin ,my partners mixed grill a big dissapointment.Steak was undercooked,great chips though

My kids live on opposite sides of the country so when they come home it's a special occasion. We often come here and we've never been disappointed. This time was as good as any other, great meal, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good value for money. The mixed grill is a challenge and the steaks are amazing. Can't really fault it. The beer garden is a lovely place to sit on a summers night.

My 9yr old son & I visited for Sunday lunch. The bar staff were welcoming & friendly as were the waiting on staff. I had a roast beef dinner & my son had a burger. The food was fantastic. Larger portions than we could eat but we were more than happy to try!! The burger was homemade & was presented fantastically. My roast dinner was homely but still had that restaurant quality and the homemade Yorkshire puddings were amazing! All veg was freshly prepared and not pre-cut pre-prepared rubbish you get in a lot of places. Fantastic place to eat!

This is a great little pub serving top quality food. The friendly atmosphere is created by the lovely staff working there. Although I chose salmon pie, which was superb, there is also a range of unusual meats on the menu such as kangaroo, bison ect. A great night out.

Not been for about 20years but still great well presented food, attentive and helpful staff with a good menu choice at reasonable prices and the beers are well kept too.

We visited today, did not book. Flat bread sandwiches were fabulous, accompanied by soup or chips, very good value for money as well as being delicious, the fillings in the sandwiches was plentiful and good quality, th tuna was fresh not tinned! Will be back again. The staff were helpful and friendly, made us feel special.

The staff get 8 of 10 for their pleasantness and its a shame I can't say the same thing about any other aspect of the meal.

Ate their 2 weeks ago as birthday treat I have lived in the area for over 27 years and been to the bluebell only. Couple of times the food was ok but I am afraid service is a lot to be desired understandably a Satudaynight is extremely busy but to wait for over 30 mins for drinks is a little unacceptable member of staff kept apologising and saying we are very busy our food order was taken twice as there had been a mix up

The pub is great. Very traditional British setting and the menu has great variety. I had bbq ribs which were delicious in flavour but unfortunately I had to essentially saw the meat off the bone. It was not the tender fall off the bone I expected. Never the less we will most likely re visit as the rest of my party of 5 enjoyed their meals and there are some great sounding dishes to try. A nice evening.

Hi just wanted to say our meal was not only a lovely valentines meal .. but great value for money!

Live locally so made a spontaneous decision to have an evening meal here at around 7:30 in the evening. Ordered a lime and tonic but the bar had no lime. Asked for a menu which was provided with the message that they were out of chips. Not a problem, we could work around that. Placed an order for two fish dinners with sautéed potatoes. Ten minutes later we were told they were also off the menu for the evening. Further enquiries and more waiting time we found the only option available was baked potatoes. At this point we paid for our (wrong) drinks and left to find more accomadating local hostelry.

Good, friendly service with a warm, welcoming fire, live music in the lounge and Morris Dancers to boot! An excellent way to spend part of Boxing Day.

This is a gorgeous country pub in Gringley. Fantastic and really varied menu. Amazing food and lovely staff. Well worth a visit.

A beautiful welcoming fire was roaring away when we got there. The bar and the dining room were nicely decorated for Christmas. They have lots of nice little touches like the box to post your local Christmas cards into and lots of local produce to purchase.

For a well prepared, served with a friendly smile I would highly recommend this country pub. Real ale too with fresh food beautifully prepared. I imagine during busy times and Sunday a reservation would be necessary. A good pub style menu too.

It was cold outside but there was a beautiful welcoming fire roaring away when we got there. The staff were great and very friendly. I chose the gammon and the chocolate brownie for afters .... yummy and a really well kept pint of Timothy Taylors too, bonus. It was very busy on arrival but then we were left on our own upstairs but the staff were still attentive. I was pleasantly surprised with the bill at the end ......................... we will definitely be going again.

A warm welcome on a cool November day,fire blazing away...beaut

Been here twice in a week ! Fantastic food and a very varied menu. Timothy Taylor's and Pironi on draught, heaven ! Can't fault it

Came here for a change. I had the blue bell pie (steak, onion, mushroom and Stilton) was lovely, with real chips and a nice gravy. My wife had a fresh homemade goats cheese tart, looked beautiful. Definitely will go back.

Made to feel welcome, food was nice, good choice on the menu. One thing though the room was a little cold, didn't take my coat off! But wouldn't put me off coming back.

Ate here on Sunday (29/06/14) with my fiancé. We had made a special trip to the gorgeous village so had decided to eat at the Blue Bell Inn as a bonus. A friendly greeting when we arrived set the afternoon up nicely. We ordered our drinks at the bar and were seated on a little table close by. There was a vintage car rally driving through as we arrived so was great seeing them all as we looked through the menu. I had garlic mushrooms to start, my fiancé the bbq chicken wings. Both enjoyed our choices. We both had the Blue Bell Inn pie for our mains, along with chips, a selection of veg and gravy. All homemade and tasted delicious. Even though we were both sufficiently full, we decided to have a dessert each seeing as we'd made the trip...so chose the chocolate brownie each. He would've preferred the cheesecake but they had sold out, this is the sole reason I couldn't award 5/5! Really warm, welcoming place, very popular with the locals who had started arriving whilst we were finishing our desserts. We'd mentioned to the lovely lady behind the bar who'd taken our orders that my fiancé was disappointed they'd sold out of cheesecake, she suggested we make another trip to make sure he tries it as it's delicious...We may just have to do that. I would highly recommend the Blue Bell Inn, well cooked, delicious homemade food, enough menu options to choose from set in a lovely country pub - exactly how I like them.

Called here mid week after hearing good reports about the food. Upon arrival there was a good selection of ales and largers. The bar and the dining room were nicely decorated and furnished. There was a good selection to choose from the menu. Our food didn't take for ever to come but neither was it too quick and it certainly was top drawer. The portions were of good size and the quality of food was great. The Blue Bell also has regular live music too. We'll be making a regular visit here. Highly recommended.

If you like quality home cooked for at a good price, this is a must for your schedule. First time we have been for many years & we have clearly been missing out. Under previous owners it went outside being good for those who wanted basic English food. Today it caters for all types, with the perhaps the only thing missing being a good curry.

Me and my partner play live music at The Blue Bell every so often. The landlord, Adam, is incredibly hospitable and really looks after us, as do all the staff.

Still has the traditional feel. 4 of us booked and had steaks on hot stones. All the steaks were lean and served up sizzling. My tip would be though: when your steak is done enough to your liking, take it off, otherwise it will continue cooking and you will end up with one very well done. Hot stones made it a bit different for our American guests. The waitress was very helpful and made our friends feel very welcome

We visited The Blue Bell for lunch on Easter Sunday and were very satisfied. We only booked an hour before we sat down and the staff helped us choose a time that would mean were served promptly. Two of us had the Blue Bell burger - delicious, and two had the roast pork - equally tasty. The atmosphere was relaxed and homely despite the fact they must have been very busy "back stage". Will definitely be visiting again soon I hope.

The atmosphere was very warm and friendly with an open wood fire burning in the grate. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent and presentation all that it should be. An excellent meal in a very pleasant atmosphere.

my wife and i visit quite regularly...usually for an evening pint but sometimes for food. always a friendly welcome and the food is wonderful no hesitation recommending it to others who fancy above average ambience and quality food.

Just returned home from a evening meal at the bluebell. We decided to visit after reading the reviews on here. When we arrived the staff were very friendly and escorted us to our seats. The pub was warm friendly and had a great atmosphere. We ordered:

Fourteen of us, including a toddler went on a Saturday lunch time for a birthday meal. Between us we had a large selection of food all of which was good. My own meal was Sea Bass which was delicious, the vegetables were cooked beautifully and everything was hot (often difficult with a group booking) The toddler meal was lovely - just as fresh and good as the adults food with no sign of chicken nuggets or burgers!!! Our table was waited on by a very pleasant young man who managed to keep us all happy all of the time. We seemed to have the right amount of attention and the right amount of time to ourselves. All in all a lovely time was had by all Thank you to everyone at the Blue Bell.
