The Bluebell Yarm in Stockton-on-Tees

Sunday lunch here was excellent,good service, and really good value,didn't have long to wait for the meals to arrive,would certainly return.

Booked a table for 6.45, arrived and they said an hour and a half wait for food which we decided was fine, got a drink sat down and picked what we wanted, went to go and order at 7ish, 5 of us deciding we all wanted various parmos, they had ran out of chicken and where closing the kitchen I don’t know if this is a good thing they’ve sold out or incompetent ordering, 7pm on a Friday night lol I imagine one of there busiest money making nights, we won’t be returning, shambles, went to Peking gardens 10mins away instead

couldn’t recommend more lovely food, had classic parmo and biscoff sundae dessert. great prices with a 3 course deal and nice staff 🙂

It was a Sunday lunchtime. Arrived at 12.20 had booked in advance. Pub almost empty,but barely any staff. Ordered by 12.40 and food finally arrived at 1.50…no warning of any delay. We had a three year old with us, so that was great ! They advised when we ordered they had no sausage, no pigs in blankets. One of us wanted a mixed meat Sunday lunch, just half and half. Advised it would be £4.50 more. They had no large Parma’s and the regular ones were tiny. Food finally arrived. The fellas Sunday lunches were served like this ….. a plate with the meat and a spoonful of mash on came first…. A 10 minute delay then the veg, advised then the roasties would be another 10 mins as were in the oven ! Brought out 4 roasties and we asked where are the rest. We were advised there are two each…. By this point I started to laugh. The roasties were obviously aunt Bessie’s…. Absolute joke… will never go back

MUSHY LASAGNE/GAMMON WAS FAR TOO SALTY . VERY POOR FOOD THE PUB COULD DO WITH A DEEP CLEAN AS IT LOOKED VERY DUSTY.

Visited at lunch time for a quick meal. Ordered the classic burger, service was quick and food tasted great. Homemade chips are a massive selling point and I asked for my fries to be swapped which they did no problem. Portion size was great and excellent value for money.

5pm on a bank holiday. The bar man has just told me “we have ran out of everything food wise and have now decided to stop serving all food”. Waste of time.

Tried the bottomless brunch for the first time and the food was amazing and drinks flowed aplenty and the bar staff were very friendly and highly recommended

Brilliant meal last week for my birthday family lunch! Amazing parmos!!! Service a little slow and the man on til not very helpful and sure we were over charged. Would return, thank you

Hats off to the bar staff and the Manager ! Lovely evening down by the river, but group of lairy, loud, obnoxious guys ruining it. Quick word, and they were dispatched, driving I might add. Well done guys! Lovely pub and outdoor areas, food looked great and arrived fast. We will be regulars from Egglescliffe 😀

We went here and had a lovely Sunday lunch we went for the three courses for £15 the food was very nice. It was very large portion. The service was really good

Got a taxi here from Stockton on Tees where the hotel was. Lovely location, on a summers evening it would be sensational. Me and two colleagues had the Parmo’s, opted for the Hot One which was sensational. Best not to ask about the calories!! Highly recommended.

Horrible staff, the staff look at you as if you are from a lower class, the place also needs a good clean and lick of paint

Food okay service slow and staff uninterested in customers. Such a shame could be a lovely spot, shame the staff let it down

Food ok, basic but plenty of choice. Never enough staff for service, Be prepared to wait. Register your car on arrival or pay £100 fine

Hi I'm not happy, I have received a parking ticket for coming to your establishment for a friends anniversary party. I mentioned to the lad that was on the till that I parked on the car park and said that was fine. Now I receive...

Alexa was so amazing she was so attentive and friendly she made us feel so welcome/at home she even helped us carried the drinks outside, at the age of 16 this girl deserves so much more than £4.81!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to meet a friend Tuesday 7th of June for a drink. We arrived at 7pm and checked in our car reg to the machine. It was quite quiet. There was no one at the bar and we waited patiently for bar staff. A...

Visited the blue bell yesturday for an early tea , I’ve visited many times in the past I orderd our meals just standard meals then went outside to the decking area of which was very dirty, food left on tables ashtrays blown alover cigarette ends...

We visited the bluebell good Friday had fish and chips and a pint today I got a £60 parking fine so I'll not be going there again

I will not be going to the blue bell again and will be encouraging all my friends not to go after the way the manager was trying to put the blame on me for a parking fine. It’s an absolute joke the tone he had....

Saturday evening. Place Dead smells like tcp or petrol in the food area, the place cold and not welcoming. Toilets dirty, staff miserable they more intrested in each other than the customers. Certainly not how the bluebell used to be. Definitely wont be recommending to...

After reading the previous reviews I could not believe the uneducated people who have visited this great venue. How can you give a poor review on somewhere not been dog friendly?? I am allergic to some dogs and would prefer somewhere what doesn't allow pets...

We were walking into yarm and popped in here for our dinner mid week. Staff were friendly and the food was great proper pub grub but tasty and good portions. Had a pint with my meal which was also a good pint. What's not to...

Met up with family first visit for us was very disappointed, firstly it was very cold no heating on went to the ladies the door was wedged open bar staff could clearly see ladies going in and out the toilet cubicles and washing their hands....

A very windy and rainy Sunday afternoon in October, we were on holiday in the area and thought the pub looked very inviting. I popped inside to ask whether it was dog friendly as we had our Cocker Spaniel on holiday with us. I was...

First time ever (anywhere in the world) I was going to be charged 75p for a dash of tabasco/hot sauce to go on my burger. Not going back here again!!! Ladies had a lasagne and a parmo, no problems, service ok

we restarted 5 weeks ago after covid visiting the blue bell were we meet our 2 friends were going again never had a bad meal here and been at least 40 times ,

I used to love eating in The Blue Bell, lovely pub looking over the river. The food now is disgusting, chips taste like they came from the Chinese down the road, cheap vegetables, also had to wait over an hour for food to arrive. You...

The Bluebell, Yarm, today - for a quick Guinness on the way home. One girl serving at the bar - busy with two customers who had a few drinks each to order. Bar person made no eye-contact with me or a ‘with you in a...

Absolutely out of this world. Best parmesan ive had for a long time and visited 4 local restaurants latley and this was far the best. Chicken perfect, betchemel sauce and cheese and also cooked perfect. Asked for just onions as thats how i like it....

Visited for lunch a couple of weeks ago. Not been before and were unaware of the parking rules. We didn't see any signs so just went in and had a nice lunch. Pub is really nice with a fantastic outdoor area. Much to our surprise...

Booked a table for 6pm for 6 of us on Saturday. Checked in with the car park and went to the bar to say we were here, table was reserved and set then. Service at the bar was quick, efficient and friendly as was ordering...

Personally, me and my friends when visiting the pub felt ignored by staff members. The pub was table service, but it was really hard to catch staff attention at our table and we were not checked on to order more drinks or food (which seemed...

Was looking for a place to eat with friends on Saturday evening. Wasn’t too busy and we were sat with down and asked if we want food menus so we accepted and received the menus along with our drinks. We waited just under an hour...

Had dinner here recently. We inputted the car registration into the parking system after we had used the QR to register our visit and sanitised our hands. As we had also eaten out at lunchtime, we didn’t want a large meal, so we opted for...

Me and my family thought we'd have a bit to eat by the river, so I parked up at the back and took a seat outside. After getting the attention of the waitress to order drinks / meal, she advised that actually we need to...

Me and my partner waited at the door to be seated , pub not busy staff totally ignored us , I know pubs are struggling but could of least acknowledge us ended up elsewhere

Seeing a lot of negative reviews (some of them are totally unjustified, too) for the Blue Bell and I've had nothing but good experiences so feel like I should give my 2 cents. Firstly, the Parmos are always spot on. Definitely recommend the hot shot....

Good was very tasty and reasonably priced met by a very polite young man and seared. Waitress service was slow. Had to prompt for menu and again to order. Waitress rude and abrupt and clearly didn't want to work there which was the only thing...

We visited during a long awaited first break away We've been before & food was delicious so thought we would give it another try disappointed was an understatement basically paid nearly £8.00 each Scampi 8tiny pieces lots of overdone homemade chips n tablespoon of peas...

Rude staff, waited an hour with coat on, think it was warmer outside when asked about food the waitress said i dont know il go and ask!

I fully appreciate the Covid rules and the changes which have been necessary, however I feel that the maner in which they are enforced by the staff is questionable. The manager was particularly rude and abrupt towards us upon entry. Unfortunately, it seemed ours was...

Not the best service or food I’ve ever had also not the worst, but won’t be a return visit for me I’m afraid. We rang to book a table and was given a table for our evening meal. After a long drive we was all...

Visited for a spot of lunch, food was decent and a fair price for what you get, however service is extremely slow, I don’t mind waiting but when the place is practically empty and your waiting over 20 mins for a drink it’s not the...

It’s just a decent pub, in a nice location, with good food. To be fair the parmos are absolutely spot on. 6/10 would have been higher but the price of a pint of Moretti is outrageously highly

Well, where to start? The food in this place is just outstanding! I couldn’t get enough of my parmo! I’ve visited a few times over the years with my husband and I cannot wait already for the next time!!

Came here for a lunch time meal with friends..it was a lovely sunny day so decided to sit outside..it was gorgeous by the river, lovely view..the food was lovely, piping hot, great atmosphere..it was starting to get reqlly bisy when we were leaving..would recommend

I was having a drink which wasn’t purchased from the blue bell (which I understand isn’t allowed) so Stephen, the manager, walks up to me and says “Not a Chance, you can’t drink that here”. We were surprised at the aggressive instruction but I put...

The food was average and nothing special but they did have quite a few options to choose from on the menu. The pub itself is nice and very clean and has a lovely outdoor area. The car park is quite small and tight.

I am shocked by recent reviews, I have visited in the past few weeks for drinks outside and also for lunch and had found it very pleasant both times! We sat outside both times, lots of outdoor space with lovely views of the river. Dined...

we used to come to this pub twice a week for the last few years .the food is quite good but the chips are hit and miss .weve allows found bar staff quite pleasant until the new rules on cover.the ordering of food and drinks...

We had the most disgusting sunday dinner - thin microwave beef, frozen veg and roasties not proper mash (smash). The chicken wasnt cooked properly. Honestly please dont go waste £9 my little 10 year old could cook better than this. The staff all looked like...

We visited on 15th July at lunchtime so coronavirus restrictions were in place. I entered the pub from the front car park and as I got closer to the bar I was asked to use the hand sanitiser which was available close by. I used...

I called here with my Disabled Son for a 1/2 diet coke and a fruit shoot. Little did I know that it was going to be a very expensive drinks stop!! Only stayed for 21 minutes but got slapped with a ticket from parking eye...

Came here with a bunch of friends (5 of us in total) All ordered Parmos which were nice, nothing special. Staff didn't check back on us whilst we were eating to see if everything was okay, kind of feel this is just a standard thing...

Was in Yarm visiting family, past the Blue Bell on the way out, saw the 2 for 1 meal deal, so decided to pop in on the way back... The 2 for 1 is only on certain meals tho, anyhow decided on a gammon steak,...

Have visited the Blue Bell on numerous occasions and have not as yet been disappointed. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The small plate 2 mains for £6.49 is excellent value for money ,especially if you haven't got a big appetite. It is always...

Overcooked creamy chicken. Dirty tables over priced drinks. Filthy and I mean filthy bathrooms The smell throughout the pub was just awful Just truly awful with fake 2 for 1 offer The drinks make up the price of any offer you may have received

Parmo buy one get one free. But it's not the greatest parmo. It's like a chicken keiv with cheese. Chips where not great and salad a bit flat. Thank God for brown sauce

Just a little way up over the bridge and with it's own parking (you must enter reg inside). We had super fish and chips but there is an extensive pubby menu to choose from.

The staff are friendly, helpful and polite. Buy one get one free menu is an absolute bargain and the food is all cooked freshly to order. Six adults, three children and all the food was brought out at the same time. We all enjoyed and...

Went for a second time around! Order the all day breakfast! It’s the best thing on the menu! And the pubs heating is now fixed again so go in and enjoy. And after 6 they do a lobster Thermidor for only £7.50, bargain. Will be...

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

Sat in beer garden for 4 drinks. Asked barman if ok to park. He said yes if buying drinks. We did see signs but what pub actually charges for parking? So presumed was for non customers. Home and hit with £60 fine. People from outside...

Sorry to say we visited the Blue Bell for something to eat last night. Despite the reviews we thought for ease of parking we would meet our friends in there and take a chance .BIG MISTAKE After ordering our food and drinks we sat down...

Enjoyed lunch here with 9 friends. We meet up every couple of months. The car park has been taken over by a Parking Business and you have to input your registration into an iPad in the pub. One time I visited I forgot to do...

Called in for a drink with my wife ordered 2 pints of lager both with lime £10.10 and went and sat in beer garden ,after 15 minutes was told the pub was shutting barman stood over my wife why she attempted to finish her drink...

Pretty good value for money. Usual pub food on the menu but nothing beyond the usual range. A word of caution, if you drive there and park in their car park, register your licence plate with the bar/restaurant staff or you will receive a 100...

Visited the Blue Bell Yarm with family had a meal and drinks. 10 days later a fine drops through the door for Parking. We never seen any parking restrictions or signs within the pub. I've contacted the Blue Bell today spoke to Luke he has...

Ordered 2 hot shot parmos Both parmos under cooked. Cheese not melted under the top layer bechemel sauce luke warm

Visited here lots of times,had a meal and couldn't fault it. Either the chef can't cook who was working at the time or the place has gone right down overall. Ordered the creamy mushroom chicken when it came there was a teaspoon full of watery...

As x 2 couples, we have returned to Blue Bell regularly as their meals have been of quality and for their price quantity. Unfortunately on Saturday 20th July at 18.00 that belief was soundly "smashed" After ordering and paying for our meals "mine host "approached...

My son took me for lunch to this pub. It was the first time we have visited and today he received a £100 parking fine. What a warm welcome for a first visit. Neither of us saw anything about writing the car reg. in a...

Visited while seeing friends, only had drinks but nice vibe. Traditional pub. Special offers on food. Lovely outside area to sit with views. Seems popular.

Ordered from the buy one get one free menu, which was £12.95. Also ordered one pint of fruity cider and half a shandy but the bill was £19.50!! The shandy was mostly lemonade. Cheap with the food but expensive drinks, that’s where they get you!...

Went to the Blue Bell on our way to Newcastle as we had heard it was the best place for the legendary Teeside Parmo! Arriving early afternoon on scorchingly hot day we were pleased to find a lovely venue right by the river with friendly...

Some people too critical we had the pork steaks jacket potatoes salad and mushroom and garlic sauce absolutely fabulous.Going again.Everytime we go the food is first class.Some people love nit picking we just love the place the food and the staff.So people have to wait...

I've had numerous people tell me that the parmo here is unmissable, I was very disappointed. We turned up and the tables hadn't been cleaned and the wait for the food seemed to take forever considering it wasn't particularly busy. The food itself looked ok...

Went in for a meal in my 20s came out in my 40s took that long for my starters 45 mins and the main 30mins not all the tables was taken up so they was not run off there feet I will not be going...

Went just this week at 17:30, after 5 in the whole of yarm parking is free. Turned up to the blue bell for one drink, with 3 of my friends, not clearly displayed anywhere I need to pay for any form of parking and was...

Average pub food. Nice chips though Pretty setting by the river which is lovely with the sun on the patio

my partner and i regularly visit this pub the staff are pleasant especially rich who is very friendly and chatty the paramos are excellent and very good value for money the only downside is the carling lager which is often poor

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

Excellent service and very good parmo. 2 for 1 makes it good value for money. My partner had the spicy salmon which was also very tasty. Would definitely return.

The old saying goes you get what you pay for! Not as bad as what some of the reviews say. however think it really depends on what you order and what your expectations are! price wise and value very good.

Didn't eat but had a couple of beers. Staff friendly, quieter than the jumping, noisy other pubs - could actually have a conversation! Good service, amazing outside beer garden with views of the river. Will be back.

Two of us stopped off here for a late lunch and it was fairly quiet. Parking seems to have been a past problem as their 'patrons only' car park has signs asking you to register your vehicle reg number at thd bar. An excellent idea....

The location of this public house / restaurant is the best in Yarm. The outside space and view across the river is first class,especially when the weather permits. The meals are basic the choice of drinks are limited. If you don't like being surrounded by...

5 of visited on a Sunday afternoon Food was good parmos and sunday lunch, Service is appalling one person serving behind bar , tables not cleared , no one asked if everything was ok Tables sticky General hygiene of this place isnt great , in...

Blue Bell is a lovely pub in a great location. Food is decent and prices for food are good if you have even numbers, 2 for 1 deals. Average quality ratings from the group of 15 we went with.

Came here for tea with friends and our kids. Horrified that a parmo could be £16! My friend ordered a hot shot parmo... which you paid an extra £2 for the jalepenos. We asked for some garlic mayo and was told that would be another...

Had food with our children this week. From the 2 for 1 menu. Our whole meal for two with two children’s meals and drinks for us all came to £30. They said 40 minute wait for food, which was fine for us but it arrived...

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
