The Bluebell

Great pub with a friendly atmosphere, whether you want to watch the rugby or just chill.with friends.

Came here as was recommended good place to eat. Brought friends and my 15month old son, barmaid had face like a bulldog chewing a wasp as soon as we entered, got greeted by "are you lot eating?" In such a tone I'm not sure this lady likes people. I was a little shocked but replied politely..yes we are eating" she responded cockily..well its going to be at least an hour wait as we are busy, i maintained decorum and said yep thats fine no problem, please can i have a highchair for him. we then found a table and I waited for the highchair, then the barmaid came out of the kitchen with the chair and the return of the bulldog wasp face and the highchair got practically swung at us, it even hit the table as she threw it down in such a strop. I just stood there in complete horror thinking my god! I popped my son in and we tried to not let it dampen the experience, il be honest her attitude stank that much between the pouting, huffing, posing and such awful mannerisms it was shocking. What turned it around was the chef, he came out about ten mins later and spoke to us and said he was doing his best, he was polite well mannered, smiling with a friendly face. The other barmaid was also very sweet when we got our coffees.

I don't really want to review the food at this pub. Because it is so good. The beef bourginon I had was top, delicious. I am a terrific cook myself so I know this was the best plate of food, other than my own, in a long time. Big shout out for the French chef.

Lovely lasagne home made, food was lovely (for pub grub), very helpful service. Wasn't many people there so not much atmosphere but really enjoyed my experience. Would recommend.

Fantastic curry at the Bluebell tonight, Superb.

Excellent food at very reasonable prices.
