The Blue Bells Inn in Hartlepool

A walknin for two on a Friday evening. About 8 tables occupied with 4's and 2's. Service was very prompt. Brilliant value for the special, two course for £14.00. Food was equally good quality. All the food that came out around us looked good too. Its well worth a visit.

Lovely food and excellent service.

Came in for a Sunday dinner, as we heard good things about them and from the moment we stepped through the door we were welcomed by the lovely staff. We waited a little as our table was getting sorted as they were really busy. When we arrived there was 2 big parties in and only a handful of tables available. Luckily we booked ours couple of days in advance, after we sat down and we where greeted by a friendly waitress who took our drinks and food order, which drinks where severed promptly, the food was amazing, I've been before for a Sunday lunch but it was miles better. The meat was so succulent and not chewy so it went down so easy we ordered the leg of lamb, pork and a child's beef and the portion sizes where decent, we also ordered a side of pigs and blankets and cauliflower cheese. It was just so delicious, we really enjoyed it thanks to the chefs at bluebells we will definitely be back

Food gorgeous as always and was red hot.

Salad and garlic sauce were lovely. Parmo came with cheese and béchamel stuck all over the box!! Didn’t appreciate the free bucket of salt all over the chips really spoiled it for me. Chicken in the parmo was nice but what’s a parmo with no cheese or béchamel. The little pizza box supports would have fixed this problem. Salt potentially dangerous for anyone with low sodium diet or pregnant like myself. Disappointing for £41.

Very quiet for a Friday night. Appart from that, no complaints.

fantastic food, absolutely delicious and desert was gorgeous 11/10 thank you very much

Me and my family came in tonight for parmo night as it has been recommended by loads of people and I've saw photos of dishes people have had and thought lets go and try a parmo, I was blown away by the food it was by far the best parmo I've ever had I highly recommend the nduja and hot honey parmo, salt and pepper piggy parmo and the garlic mushroom parmo. The service was flawless the waitress assigned to my table was very helpful and checked up on us to see if we where all okay. We will definitely be back so much more food to try. Thanks again Bluebells team 🙏

First time trying this place tonight and was left very disappointed. The positives were that the food was lovely and not complaining over the food. But your customer service is shocking. From the barmaid to the waitress. The food come late but we were not bothered happy to wait but when in the middle of eating to a waitress to come over and said you have 10 minuets left you need to be out I thought was disgusting! I said I’m not being made to rush when the food was late coming out she walked of and said I’ll have to go to the manger well do it it’s not our fault. No one else got this sat around us they all got asked for desert menu but not us. Totally rude and unprofessional!

Great service , beautiful food freshly cooked and well presented. Well deserved praise for service and quality of food.

Lovely food great service,nice staff,just needs a little updating with the decor,but will certainly will be back soon.👌

Ordered the hotshot parmo, good size portion and very tasty. Deffo order again

Great service and even better food

First time visiting and would HIGHLY recommend it. Service was first class food was delicious and the staff were so polite and courteous

Been all over Uk eating in competitions over the years tried parmos in most places across the region and the Uk Monday nights but one get one free two cheese cakes with ice creme a Pepsi each £21 Bargin with out a doubt one of best parmos around consistently excellent aswell garlic triple cooked chips onion rings parmos very very good

love the food well worth it for me, thank you to you all and my compliments.

Lots better than the last time we went in

The gold standard for parmos, perfect portion too - not too heavy and a delight from start to finish.

Top class as always. Never had a bad meal from here

We had a meal with friends. Food was excellent. Good price, good portions and friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

always brilliant and lovely food ++++

Went for sunday dinner fpod lovely service excellent i e also had tskeaway from here which is also excellent and reasonably priced

First time ordering. Parmo not nice. Cheese falling off and not hot I’m afraid. 1/5. Tasted far better from a Pizza Shop. Prawn Salad nice, but not enough for price. It gets delivered in a huge pizza box. 3/5. Best part was the home made chips, 5/5. £22 for chips I’m afraid. Good delivery though. I won’t order again.

Just an absolutely exceptional parmo with lovely, dark home made chips. Super fresh and lively salad and the strong home made garlic is different level. Magnificent!

We asked how the 'kids eat free' promotion worked, were told which menu to order from, then later on were told we were supposed to have ordered the free meal from the children's menu, WHICH WE WERE NEVER GIVEN OR EVEN TOLD ABOUT. Waiting staff don't have a clue. So we ended up paying for 3 adult meals. Drinks were pricey, £9+ for 3 J2O's which we reluctantly bought as we prefer cold soft drinks with no sweeteners but no regular Coca-Cola or draught Pepsi here. Your choice is hot drinks, alcohol (no good for the driver), water or soft drinks laced with sweeteners. Sadly too many places are going this way, despite some people being allergic to sweeteners and many more folks can get migraines, upset stomachs, etc from them. Food was hit and miss. Everything arrived hot, steak and ale pie was okay but the lasagne was so greasy it made my wife feel sick toward the end of it. The Parmo was similar, nice enough to begin with but too much cheese meant it didn't get finished. Probably would of had a better time going to the McDonalds down the road.

Great food and even better customer service 😄

The best meal I've ever eaten out... we'll done to you all

Went on the 2 4 1 night, very good will definitely be back,

Fabulous Sunday dinner out with the whole family. Meals were superb and service was first class. We will be back

food was delivered fast hot and fresh , parmos were nice and chips unreal. vegetarian parmo wasn't in fact a parmo it was a bean burger with bechamel sauce on , I wasn't impressed at all with this and couldn't eat it. the rest of the family all enjoyed they food and I enjoyed chips 🫣.

Great Sunday dinner at a reasonable price

Sunday lunch was grim, mash watery, veggies soggy, Yorkshire rubbery, drinks expensive beef was nice, but 2 chicken meals where left as chicken was SOLID. struggled to get a fork in let alone attempt to cut it, still charged for the meals, but refunded the meat?? Won't be going back in a hurry.

Beautiful hot food and lots of it. Definitely use them again

Had a spontaneous Sunday roast lunch. Lamb was overcooked for me but I am possibly not your target audience. Great service.

First time getting food from here. Lovely! Great quality and fast delivery. Thank you :)

Excellent definitely order again

The parmo was really nice with lovely home made chips & piping hot as well, delivery was on time also :) This was my first time ordering from here & will definitely order again, thank you!

Food was amazing! Don’t know what I was expecting but food was acceptional

Tremendous food, consistent each time ordered for quality with speedy delivery too.

Parmo was good. But they forgot the cheesecake

Been twice here food is lovely and the customer service is really good , parmos are beautiful with a choice op toppings Steaks looked beautiful and the home made chips are proper home made chips .

Excellent, great food and service. Just one complaint £2.50 for a tonic mixer. We moved to Wynyard two years ago, we have dined at the Stable a few times but we were never impressed so looked a little further, I’m glad we did. Monday night is Parmo night 2 for 1. I had a hotshot, very good indeed. The chips couldn’t be better.

10/10 food again! Delivery driver is lovely! ❤️

Amazing food, massive portions

Honestly some of the best food I’ve had in a long time, I’ve never been here before and I’ll deffo be back!! Super fast delivery and food arrived piping hot. 10/10 service :)) xx

A very enjoyable time food was great chips are the mutz nuts.

Fantastic food restaurant quality, arrived right on time steaming hot , definitely on my fave list

Fresh, well presented and tasty food. Parmo's always excellent from here 😁

💯 excellent all round apart from you don’t need to provide multiple boxes of salad.

Absolutely the nicest takeaway pub food I have had.. . Great delivery.

Amazing food thank you so much!

Great food, excellent service - thank you!

Best food I’ve had in a long time from a takeaway . Carbonara, parmo & two desserts, will deffo be ordering again thank you so much!

We have been here many times. The food is amazing value and cooked to a high standard. Staff are friendly and effecient.We have never had a bad meal here. Thank you very much.

Great pub with brilliant food, only complaint they only did Gordon's Gin and its the only one my wife dislikes.

The food was delicious and the staff couldn't have done anymore to make our evening a success. We would definitely return.

Nice food and excellent value for midweek 3 courser

Starters were fine went down hill from there we ordered sirloin steak with port and Stilton sauce the waitress didn't put the sauce on order consequently with got plain steak and had to wait for sauce to be made the veg was cold we had to send it back. It spoilt our 44th anniversary unfortunately won't be going again

I 100% would Highly Recommend this establishment to eat the food is just delicious x x

Probably the best quality parmo, chips, garlic mayo and salad delivery in the area.

First time ordered from blue bell, but won't be the last, food absolutely spot on, ordered a chicken parmesan with homemade chunky chips, salad and garlic sauce, probably the best I've had, arrived quickly and piping hot, would definitely recommend.

Quality food delivered on time. Fresh salad accompaniment and everything as it is served in restaurant. Will use again as a top class takeaway.

Best parmo I’ve ever had delivered 👍 exceptional quality

Parmo was excellent, and the homemade chips incredible!

Always excellent food, always hot and great presentation salads are really good

The food here is absolutely fabulous outstanding even , superb chef unfortunately the venue lacks atmosphere and when we were there very cold even the waiting staff and bar staff had 2 coats or double fleece, could do with cheering up and warming up open fire would be lush, and even a little background music something to give it a lift please

Small portions Rarely a member of staff at the bar for drinks

Excellent meal delivered hot and delicious as always

Nice meal and a pleasant atmosphere.

The food here is always delivered hot & always delicious the staff here are always friendly and polite

Beautiful food and would recommend

Food was delivered on time the driver is always pleasant and polite the food is hot and delicious

Lovely food, good value for money.

chips were warm ups chicken not cooked, never had a bad meal till now

One of the parmos was spot on, the other wasn’t so good… the chicken was tough to even cut. There also wasn’t many chips as usual. Tasted lush though!

amazing parmo homemade chips best in the area would recommend to everyone

Really delicious food, well presented..

Food nice and early. Pleasant delivery person even in this storm!

Bit disappointed food normally lovely here hope it was a one off

Even though they were short staffed the service was brilliant and the food delicious 10 out of 10 from me

Food nice. portion size really small for the price but overall good quality food

Lovely place serving excellent food

Food was beautiful and arrived hot

I use The Bluebells at least once a week sometimes twice the food here is always delivered hot, fresh and always delicious

Unfortunately not good tonight. Chips under cooked and chicken not the best

Been wanting to try this place for a while firstly the food was quite nice starter of black pudding which was a massive portion and very nice fir a simple starter and the onto a main of brasied beef in peppercorn sauce. This was massively let down by the poor quality mash real shame definitely homemade mash but not creamy just watery the rest of the dish was nice though and we'll presented. Service was really lacking bit slow servers to busy talking to give full attention. The atmosphere of the place was not right either. Shame could be a lovely place

The food was awful. The ‘home made chips’ were so pale they barely looked cooked. The parmo was greasy and the breadcrumbs were just falling off in clumps cos of the grease. Normally really nice so not sure what’s changed but eat very little and then binned it

Fantastic, as always , I would not go anywhere else

Just quite simply magnificent.

Good little find. Food was amazing. There is a special deal on two courses for £13.95. Everything was delicious even down to the salad with dressing on it. The waitress Gabby was very efficient even though she was running the bar, taking orders, serving food and taking payment all by herself. Will definitely be back.

Parmo lovely but bring back the old homemade chips please

Again beautiful asked my partner marks out of 10 and said 10+

Fantastic food but really need to warn people there is radish in the salad , I never would of thought to mention I was allergic as not normally in salads , but food was lovely

Very disappointed with the meal I received, ordered steak and ale pie, I got a shock when I looked under the puff pastry topping, There was 5 tiny pieces of steak with a little gravy, The chips were burnt and the veg was still frozen. I have been a very loyal customer and been coming here for years but unfortunately I won’t be returning, I understand the price increase but I don’t understand why the portions are smaller, I didn’t complain I just paid and left like another couple did. I don’t know what has happened to this place but it used to be really nice but not anymore.

As always great meals. We order at least once a week I have hot shot parmo other half has hunter's chicken always lovely.i like homemade chips

Always arrives on time and hot and delicious

The best take away home cooked food yet again

Food was okay, apart from small portions and little meat on the rack of lamb. Plus, no vegetables included. 4 x £20pp for 3 courses, 2 bottles of wine, plus 2 beers, two soft drinks @ £138.00

Consistently top drawer, never disappoints!

Food & service were excellent the braised beef in peppercorn sauce (half mash/half chips) was really really good. Staff were friendly and polite. Was worried on arrival (very few cars in the carpark) and only two other diners (although the kitchen was busy with takeaways - which explained the number of cars being much greater than the number of guests eating). I have no idea why this place isn't busier. It deserves to be given the quality of the food. Would eat here again
