The Bluebell Yarm in Stockton-on-Tees

Gorgeous refurbishment, food was really tasty & staff all friendly and professional. Bonus points some areas of the pub are dog friendly!

Our first visit since the new management have taken over. The staff were really friendly and service was quick. We ordered from the lunch menu which was really good value and enjoyed our food which was much better quality than under the previous management. The portion wasn't massive but definitely enough for lunch and reflected in the price. Larger portions are available on the main menu. The beer selection has also improved; it's great to have neck oil on tap! They have refurbished the inside and it looks great and is lovely warm now! It will be our new go to for local family meals out.

Me and my family and all my friends have been coming here for 20 years. there’s a famous saying which is… you shouldn't change something that works. It’s always looked abit tired the place. But I’ve lived in yarm my whole life. And no body in the area has cared. That’s because the foods always been great tasty and delicious. Good choice to choose from good waiting service. Good selection of drinks ect. and there world famous Parmo! Epic! No one ever said anything bad about it ever! But I went recently since it reopened and they have unfortunately tried to turn it into more of a formal restaurant as a regular I could work out what they have changed… but more Importantly they have changed the food and the famous Parmo. It isn’t how it was. And it’s far worse. Alsmost like someone’s trying to hard. I found this utterly disappointing. The first time ever they got my order wrong. I asked for a hot shot Parmo they brought The a regular. Dead easy dead simple. Drinks took forever to come to the table. The whole thing seemed like a desperate attempted at something. If you’re new to this place. The foods passable. But nothing compared to how it’s always been. Which was good! Nice! Tasty and fresh. I hope my concerns reach the blue bell as I’ve never written a trip advisor view in my life.

Such a shame that this pubs food has been taken over by a chain. If your used to the old homemade chips and dishes off the old menus your out of luck. Tried lunch fish n chips(fries) yesterday which for £11 midweek deal with a drink was fine. Today ordered a Parmo not bad size for £12.50 but served again with skin on fries and lettuce/ not salad. bechamel sauce seemed to be out of a jar. Two pints of Spanish larger @ £5.40 pint.None of your Fosters or Carling. Apparently, changing menus in a couple of weeks. Couple next to us ordered off the lunch menus and I must admit were child size portions of burger and fries and gammon and egg(served on what looked like a tea plate). This pub is in a great location next to the river. It's been done up lovely. But "WHY" do they have to use a chain/ franchise for food? Let your chef do their own thing! Home cooked food even if a couple of quid more.

I been to the blue bell many time and the food was always good value for money but since it’s been refurbished now the place is even better and the food is even better. If it was to mark it out 10 I would say 11 as the new menu and chef and management have turn a good pub into a great pub. Can not wait to go back .

Lugar agradable para tomar una pinta y comer algo, no es de los mejores en Yarm pero se está bien....

Love this place, can grab a drink and sit next to the river. Beautiful sights. Cheap drinks and plenty of deals. Great place to take dogs after a long walk on the river

Sólo he pedido una Parmo desde aquí ya que me encanta la delicadeza Teeside. XL Parmo viene en un plato por separado sus propios plato de patatas fritas y ensalada. Lucha para comer ya que es enorme. Buen comer fuera de lugar mirando hacia el río cuando hace calor. que se llena rápidamente así que comer temprano. Me encanta el BLUEBELL
