The Blue Bell Inn in Manchester

Best Sunday lunch in the NW. All home made. Pub of the year landlord and landlady. No wonder it's popular. UPDATE: a new roof won't cosmetically change the building, however two people continue to make it one of the best pubs in Levenshulme. I'm referring to Mark and Mary. We'll done guys and get well soon both of you.

Landlord a nice man and fair he is a really nice guy would recommend this place over and over again again if you want we all want human nature of communicating. 🫂

Cheap drinks, nice outdoor area

Resisting the gentrification of Levenshulme, we can find this authentic pub. Not a bad selection of beers. Good atmosphere to go for a chat and a drink. They have a nice beer garden as well.

Warm welcome lovely staff lovely Sunday Dinner at a great price well worth it I will go again.

Great atmosphere. Went with the guy I'm seeing, saw a couple of friends. Competitively priced beer 🫡

Friendly and a pub in the true sense of the word.

Went here a Party of 8 we spent £150 just on food it was horrible chips Was hard my beans was cold sons chicken burger was burnt two daughter in law had chicken flatbread think you forgot to put chicken on discusting waste of money

Only went for a drink. However know friends who have enjoyed meals there

Warm welcome and best Sunday lunch ever.

Close your eyes and imagine that feeling where it’s freezing outside and you stumble upon a cosy, warm, inviting, traditional pub with a roaring fire. Open them. You are in the Bluebell.

Possibly the strangest pub I've ever been in 😅 expect lots of posters with so many rules it's becomes funny. No loud talking, no swearing, no dogs, no kids, no standing in this area, no phones on tables in fact no phones to be used in the pub at all...but it's ok to use when they need your payment 😂

Excellent Sam Smiths pub with a fantastic beer garden that's great on a sunny day. Mark is a top landlord who really cares about making customers feel welcome

Called in this pub while passing didn't no what to expect as we walked in we saw a sign saying no mobiles conversation pub thinking nothing of it we were met with a very friendly landlord who introduced himself and then proceeded to give us a full tour of his bar and beers giving us samples and tastes as we went. It was a large big pub with a few rooms large car park and a old fashioned pub look there was a few people in and friendly atmosphere no music on and the landlord explained mobile phones weren't allowed which was a bit unusual but would go back beer prices varied from very cheap to expensive

Wonderful Landlord Mark. Excellent service. Calm and welcoming pub.

Great traditional pub with a fantastic beer garden. Beer is in great condition and very competitively priced. Mark is an excellent landlord and goes out of his way to make everybody feel welcome. Highly recommended.

An essential local, lovely pub with a huge beer garden. Kind and friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. Always happy to visit the Blue Bell!

Had the loveliest time here on Thurs evening with my partner. Sat in the beer garden surrounded by nature drinking reasonably priced lager! Mark has created a little oasis 💚

Went to the bluebell today for Sunday lunch with my friend absolutely beautiful would highly recommend staff are wonderful Mark the landlord is so lovely and ges a top chef will definitely be going again highly recomnend the food

Bis but no problem 😊 getting serviced

Nice pub. Nice staff & landlord. Leave your mobile in your bag or pocket. If Mr Samuel Smith comes into the pub on the off chance he will shut the pub down if he sees anyone with an electronic device. Even if your not using it. Better still put it on silent. Atmosphere in the pub is really nice and friendly.

Friendly staff and a decent outdoor area that gets sun late into the evening.

Amazing English atmosphere, and very lovely and hospital owners , they offered complimentary delicious sandwiches and shared the recipe, and free tasting of beverages after showing interest in the cider. They had a great rule of no phones or laptops which encourages real interactions. Definitely recommended :)

Always good quality and value. Sunday roast at the Bluebell. Enjoyable quiz night with some quirky questions. Mark is the ultimate host/pub landlord and is often seen chatting to locals. He is also very active in the community.

no mobile phone use allowed, perfect

Huge Sunday lunch and we got the small one ! Vegetables ++++ Meat plentiful and tender Complimentary lentil soup gorgeous

What a lovely local pub to have on our doorstep. Very lucky. Only issue is cash only and I rarely have any cash. But this pub is a real community asset.

Lovely pub interior and friendly atmosphere.

This pub is relatively cosy, and I think if you're a regular, or an older person, it's a good pub. However, it's important to know that it's an anti-electronics place, and while that may be your thing (great), as a person who may rely on their phone for whatever reasons, it's not great. The lady who served me was nice enough, but I probably won't go again the next time I'm in Manchester.

A lovely friendly pub thanks Mark and Mary for the delicious Sunday lunch I’ll not need feeding now for ages

Cash only, cheap pints. Local crowd, seemed friendly enough. Decent sized beer garden would imagine does well in summer.

Great pub with a lovely atmosphere, 2 open fires too.

An excellent pub good beer all so a phone music and slot machine free place so you can have a good conversation

Very welcoming and sociable pub with very reasonable prices for your drink

Super Sunday lunch...not a young person's pub with no phones or Internet.

Nice, old fashioned local. And, believe it or not mobile phones are banned from use inside the pub. Brilliant idea, me thinks... the draft lager is the best tasting lager and pretty cheap too.

A few pubs in Levenshulme don't do lunch but The Blue Belle did and man it was good . I'm a New Zealand farmer who loves a good feed and that is exactly what I got . I normally finish my meals and start on my wife's leftovers but not today. Friendly staff and lovely beer garden to sit and take in a sunny day. Sweet as.

Have I not reviewed this place before? Love it. Community pub of dreams and what I think of as an ideal cycling pub. Great beer garden, excellent staff, really hard to leave in any season.

Lovely Pub. Great staff. Sadly the price of the beer has rocketed. My favourite now £5•50 a pint.

The meal was fantastic great good atmosphere staff very polite

What a good place to go for a nice Sunday meal The staff were very nice and helpful 100% Going back you get plenty of food mmmm

A lovely friendly traditional pub. We found this place on Google. We were looking for a Sunday lunch while staying nearby. We had a fantastic Sunday lunch with soup included in the price. A very substantial amount of food for a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend.

Nice local pub, very good atmosphere, staff always friendly.

Good atmospheric pub. Friendly and helpful bar staff.

Great pub Great people from every time I have been in there 😀

Enjoyed my soup starter and my large beef dinner beef Yorkshire pudding green beans cabbage carrots peas broccoli sweed 5 stars for the food the service and the atmosphere is welcoming nice place to go for a meal thanks Mark and the rest of the bluebell staff

Nice traditional samuel smiths pub with a decent size beer garden and friendly staff.

I was only passing by but it's a great place & a good 🍺.

Friendly staff, really helpful. Limited but quality range of beers, the cider isn't half bad either. Great outdoor space. Beware that they only take cash.

Lovely wee local in Levenshulme!! Nice beer, nice people and lovely beer garden!!

I had a Sunday lunch a starter of Beef soup it was Amazing , then I had beef lunch the Beef was melt in your mouth and lots of vegetables with roast potatoes and gravy again Amazing, staff were excellent and very helpful ,👍👍👍👍👍

Amazing pub !! Great old fashioned !! And an excellent pint

Very nice was able to sit outside and enjoy the last of the sunshine 🌞great service, currently cash only. It was a good pint 👍🍺

Nicest Sammy Smith's pub around. Lovely garden. In fact my wife gave birth to our third child underneath the big tree in the back. Totally appreciate how the staff delivered my third beautiful daughter safely and with the deft skill of a well versed midwife. It is now our local.

Great old fashioned boozer. Friendly staff. Nice, secluded beer garden to the rear. The usual Sam Smith's framework applies: low prices, no phones or swearing.

Very helpful friendly staff clean tidy great for a quiet drink reasonable prices welcome wheelchair users and accessable well recommend

Dead friendly staff, reasonable prices

2pm bevvy levvies, lovely can't wait!

Brilliant Pub, the serve a wide range of beers and even serve a roast lunch on Sundays. There is a pleasant garde space for when the weather is nice. The also are very aware of vegetarian and vegan needs. Mark and his staff are friendly and it has been voted the best pub for many years. A nice sociable pub.

Old school as they come, just what you'd expect from a Sam smith pub. Had double 4 on which you don't get in all there pubs. Great beer garden. If your too young to remember or weren't born before 1990 then this is what lots of pubs used to be like back in the day... Remember to put your phone away and no swearing or the big man will come down and shut the place and we don't want that.

Nice place, friendly staff and good prices

Brilliant beer garden, but the interior hasn't changed in 20+ years... Does not accept card! And no cash machines nearby...

One of the friendliest and cheapest pubs around

Went to the blubell levenshulme today for the sunday lunch it was absolutely beautiful the service was 1st class the food was 10 /10 would definitely recommend this pub for your sunday roast will be going again highly recommend

Fantastic best place to go in Levenshulme

Good selection of beer.nice Sunday dinner

One of the best pubs I've ever been in

Nice clean well lit pub. No electronic gadgets allowed. You will be told to put phones away. Land lord very friendly. Friends have been going to it for years so must be good.

Very nice pub and service is.good

Proper pub , against a dying trade. Great beer and always a welcome. Remember no effing or jeffing and no mobile phones as big brother Sammy Smith jnr can pop up at anytime.

Instantly become one of my favourite pubs after moving to the area, cash only but it's a Samuel Smith pub so you can get decent drinks for dirt cheap. Highly recommend

Been here today for a group lunch after yôga class and loved it. People were nice and warm with us, pricess were fair, best carot and coriando soup ever, amazing roast and we even got cupcakes. The only negative point is that is cash only but as long as you're aware is fine.

Great pub o TV or duke box .just a great atmosphere

Lovely little pub - nice atmosphere, great beer, great service.

Nice pub :) Bardzo fajnie miejsce :)

Friendly atmosphere great beer selection and very reasonably priced

Very nice layout and the cheapest beer in the country. Vegan beer was fab and I think it was £1.30 a pint!!!!!!. Really good to.

Lovely place I enjoy every minute there but I like that it's local and hidden so maybe don't come

Very friendly with drinks at proper prices

A nice friendly pub with good beers

A great pub, landlord is a hoot, bar staff super efficient, nothing too much, a friendly pub.

Brilliant pub no television and no music just full of people talking to one another perfect

Classic local boozer, people getting merry on this spot for hundreds of years

I was stunned by this place. Couldn't imagine such a great beer garden in Levenshulme but here it is! Sam Smith Ales on tap, unbelievably low prices. Bought 4 drinks and got change from a tenner - felt like I'd gone back in time a few decades! Theres a really diverse crowd attracted to this place and it feels very homely and local, will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely love Sam smiths pubs,, good traditional pubs with no frills,,, perfect

Great community pub , beer cheap and great bar staff.

Go regularly... always sure of a Mark and his staff

Friendly local pub, although the brewery has just banned the use of mobile phones and electronic devices in the bar, good or bad you decided.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, really good prices

Nice pub not far from the centre of Levenshulme. Sam Smith`s so it `s sensible prices.

£10 minimum spend on a card/contactless ??

One of the best pub. Lovely people. Owner is very nice.

Lovely place, very friendly, decent beer at very good prices. Amazing home cooked food.

Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff and customers. Everything good.

Beautiful beers at a reasonable price what more can I say . Other than if you've never been to a Sam Smiths pub you must try the pure brew lager

Love this place..service with a smile would have been nicer

A lovely pub, well portioned rooms, great beer and clients and a very caring and respectful staff.We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves....
