Myself and my family have been using the Blue bowl in Hanham regularly for about 2 years now which speaks volumes, the staff are always very friendly and hard working, the standard of food is very good especially for the price we pay. We always look forward to our night out there and have no intentions of changing anytime soon. Keep up the good work.

My husband and I visited on 15th September. We have been a few times before and always have had good food and great service. On this occasion, my husband had the mixed grill and had 3 small plates. Once again, the food was amazing. All came out hot and perfectly cooked. My only issue is maybe a couple more veggie main meal options would be good. We will be back soon!

Came here for a meal with colleagues and to partake in the quiz night. Food was very reasonably priced, it worked out only £12 each for main and pudding. Definitely recommend the quiz night, it was really fun and not just your standard quiz, there were a few different games involved.

We have been here several times before but Friday the 13th September was particularly busy. We were told, understandably, there would be a 40 minute wait for food. The staff, Jamie and Becky were rushed off their feet but they were as efficient and pleasant as usual. Our food actually took a lot less time and all 4 meals were lovely. A really good place for great service, reasonable prices and good food.

My wife and I visited the Blue Bowl on Friday 23rd August. I had the mixed grill. Steak medium well done, chicken breast, gammon, sausage, and the plate came with mushrooms, tomotoes, fried onions and chips. Every single morsal of meat was perfection. The entire meal was very, very good! I honestly couldn't find a single fault. The staff were amazing, attentive and really good humoured. We had a great time, with very well prepared and cooked food. If you want great pub food cooked by a chef who knows what he is doing, I can recommend this place as brilliant! (My wife had halloumi salad and cheesy garlic bread. She said hers was great).😁

Varied menu but served food does not match menu images in any way. I had chicken on a bed of vegetables and the vegetables were over cooked and bland, the chicken was dry and burnt. Dessert was slightly better. Prices are cheap so I feel the dinner was value for money. A small carpark at the rear and a small beer garden. Step free access. Service was good.

The Blue Bowl is always our go-to when it comes to big family meals. The prices are good, the portions are big and it’s great value for money. As well as this, there really is something for everyone on the menu. The food isn’t outstanding, but I think what you pay for, it’s good. I went for the giant gyros and it was great.

Enticed back by 40% off mains offer. We were not disappointed, in fact food (steaks) exceeded expectation. A guy sitting near us said he was ordering a steak as he was impressed by the look of our meals. He was happily tucking in when we left. Becky, the number of staff who took our order and brought food to the table was lovely and professional. One down note was the toilets, still smelly and flush running constantly. However, overall our experience was good and we will return.

Been here a few times and have always had a decent experience but for me our recent visit could have been better. Ordered a Long Island Iced Tea and all I could taste was Coca Cola with a hint of the spirits that should have typically been made with vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin, and a splash of cola. My youngest daughter who works in a cocktail bar said that in her opinion it was not up to scratch. The steak plates that we ordered were good, but my Greek Burger was almost incinerated and with it being a Sunday lunchtime the place was so busy than rather complain I just ate the food. Pity as from past experiences I had expected more.

Absolutely awful. Steak was mostly fat. Chips not cooked through. Onion rings like cardboard. Tomatoes not cooked. Scampi served on a pile of greasy onions. Best thing I ate was the tartare sauce and that was out of a sachet. Worst example of pub grub I can remember having. Who can’t fry chips???

Long wait for rubbish. Cold, undercooked food, and offered replacement chips for uncooked rice but sadly they were cold too . Server ( manager?) couldn't be less interested. I chose to pay for only 2 meals as it was all so poor, but she didn't even look up. Would expect better, esp as there's a 'Spoons 500m away which is more consistent.

It's too busy or understaffed. Or both. Often the queue to the bar wind around the pub and, if you have a table nearby, the queue snakes around you. This means you are hemmed in and people watch you eat while they wait for service, which is very weird. The food and drinks selection is okay, I wish I could like it more, but I won't be hiring back.

Not one to leave a negative review but, Had to find our own table... Queued for 25 mins to order drinks and food... Waited an hour for food... Steak asked for rare was well done, fish under cooked and chicken burger inedible.. The blue bowl has so much potential but let down by short staff and obviously in experienced chefs. Such a shame but also not the first time having a bad experience there.... Massive well done to the only 2 bar/waitress staff the evening of 20th March... You did amazing considering how busy it was!

Staff clearly worked very hard to cater to all on Christmas Day. A lovely atmosphere, attentive service and exceeded our expectations on most levels. We have been left with lovely memories of Christmas 2023. We have not had a meal out on Christmas Day before, but did this year for the first time. Based on our experience we would love to do it again - it added to our day to see so many families coming together to enjoy to be with each other. Thank you Blue Bowl and everyone else that was there, wonderful!

The staff & food were lovely but the amount of children running around & screeching ruining my grandmother’s very sad 1st Christmas without her loved one. We will not be visiting again. There should be designated ‘family’ zones & ‘quiet’ zones as they had before. Also the so called cutlery trays & cutlery itself needs a very good clean. Very disrespectful & disappointing.

We used to come here a few years ago and loved it! Then stopped as it seemed to of gone down hill. We recently went to see some family in Telford and used a sizzling pub and really enjoyed the food that we came here again for my partners 30th family meal last Sunday. Everyone enjoyed the food so much and the pre order system was so easy and was nice to get everything we wanted. I then told other side of the family about how good it was that we then came back a few days after for my brothers birthday meal! Again food was perfect and no one complained and the staff went above and beyond and was willing to help on both occasions. We will definitely be back! Thank you all so much. Glad to see the blue bowl is amazing how it used to be. Xx

Myself and my wife tried this out because we have recently moved to the local area. We were looking forward to being able to walk to a local for a meal and a few drinks. What a total let down. There was no customer service, good nor bad, there just wasn’t staff to offer any customer service! My wife’s meal was cold and chewy and no one checked on us. No short walk and money saved on Ubers is worth the terrible experience we endured.
