Im not a local, but my family is. Ive been here twice now. Apart from the ridiculous tight toilet cubicle (and im pretty slim, so god help a bigger lady) and the queue for the bar is ridiculous.. but apart from that, its a nice vibe on a sunny day, with entertainment on. Although Saturdays entertainment was a lot better than last sundays entertainment (singer talented but drab and depressing versions of the cover songs) and then a saxophone ๐ŸŽท player. She was talented but was boring after one song. We like music with words ๐ŸŽถ

The beer festival was an outstanding success. Live music, great pub grub, and an excellent range of beers and ciders. The Bluebell has a long history of being a great traditional pub. The current landlady is carrying that traditional on in her own style. Great pub. ๐Ÿ‘

We went to the beer festival it was very good except the food. When I say the food I don't know how the food was because we never got the food we ordered. We waited nearly an hour before a member of staff came over and asked if we were still waiting. We said yes and she said it will be with you in a minute. Very shortly after two boxes of food were given to us. Not what we ordered! We had to find the member of staff and she asked what we had ordered and said she would sort it out. A few minutes later she appeared with a refund that was ยฃ3.90 short of what we had paid and did not add up to with anything on the menu. We then had to ask for the correct refund. She kept saying it was everyone else's fault and finally gave us our money. Apart from that we had a wonderful time. We will not return!

I visited on two evenings, once on the pie night. This pub is typical of the ones that I drank in when I was in my prime (and underage)! The larger outlets would learn something from a visit. I'm heading north (T&M), but I will be back next time I'm passing. Thank you for the experience.

Great food, great beer, the best company you'll ever meet, and the finest rum and coke in the area. You can do no better than the Blue Bell when it comes to everything you want from a pub. If you get a chance to attend the beer and cider festivals, that's a must.

What a fabulous pub. Called in after reading a review and it looked like the best bet close to the canal. Turns out the review was right. No TV's, no gambling machines, no pool tables, but board games to use on the shelf, a fabulous choice of real ales, good food and most importantly great locals. It must be 10 years since I was last in a pub someone produced a guitar, and another one, asked me to join in, and by the end of the evening we were singing irish ballads and then on to Karaoke and being asked to join the owners and friends on a weekend away. If Carlsberg did boozers, (oh they probably do) this would be it - only with better ale. Probably the best pub on the canal network. Will be back on Friday!!

The landlady and husband are wonderfull hosts and the atmosphere is perfect. We will be going back....thankyou all at the Blue Bell for a great time and super food and great ale.

Very pleasant pub atmosphere. Dog friendly. We went when there was a beer festival on. The food was delicious. Only reason I gave a 4 star was that we had to wait for the food, but to be fair the pub was full so that's a fair reason to be a little behind on orders. Would we go again? Most certainly.

New owners I believe and the best of luck to them. It's had a minor refurb but sensibly not changed a tried and trusted recipe. Now with more sensible opening hours. It's always been about the beer and that's spot on. It's tucked away quietly and easy to miss but worth a little effort of finding. It's position along the canal isn't on the prettiest stretch but pleasant even so..great location for cyclists, walkers and narrow boaters...oh & I forgot to mention its a few minutes walk from Kidsgrove train station. I've been again today (Aug 2022) and equally impressed. Great choice of well kept beers (3 for ยฃ10.50) Nice pie, chips, peas and gravy for ยฃ7.95 Very professional, all young female(?) staff, knowledgeable and friendly. Not a 'date' pub but lovely all the same.
