The Sunday dinner was absolutely delicious!! We had belly pork and beef which were cooked perfectly. The beef nice and pink, thr bellypork had the nicest crackling. The veg and gravy all cooked with extra flavourings. I would definitely recommend a visit for the dinners and also a great price of £14 each.
Visited with family for a Sunday lunch. Food was excellent with beef, lamb and pork on offer as a roast. Great portion size and the meat was cooked to perfection.
This is our local but just recently re introduced Sunday lunches. We had roast lamb and all the usual trimmings. Was very tasty, I would recommend. The Blue Bell also do bed and breakfast too, although I haven’t used this service other customers have enjoyed their stay, warm and welcoming atmosphere.
I was given a room at a few minutes notice, and the host couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. Lovely, quaint little room too. Highly recommended!
Decided to call in instead of passing by and had a delicious Sunday roast. We chose the lamb which came with great roasties, many varied vegetables including a really lovely red cabbage and cauliflower cheese, nice yorkshire pud too. Served with a very good Timothy Taylor bitter. 10/10. Too full for pud but we would have had the sticky toffee pudding otherwise.
