What Lola Rogers doesn't like about The Blue Bell Inn:
Have been numerous times and I like the place and the food. However some of the staff on the latest visit were a mess. The girl who reads out the quiz is repeatedly a bit useless why they have her do it I do not know. There was then another girl with presumably her male friends in there who were loud and obnoxious with feet on the table. But it was she who came into them to tell them some gossip about one of their fr... View all feedback. What Carly H likes about The Blue Bell Inn:

The Blue Bell Inn has a loyal following despite recent dips in service quality. Some patrons have noticed a decline in atmosphere and the quality of dishes, with issues like underdone gammon and mixed-up orders. However, the bar area still maintains a cozy, old-fashioned feel and the food quality remains high, with delicious favorites like Brie wedges and chicken fajitas. The Sunday Carvery is particularly recommended for its excellent value. The staff, especially during quiz nights, receive high praise for friendliness and professionalism. Despite some negative experiences, the Blue Bell Inn continues to attract new customers with its tasty, hearty meals and welcoming atmosphere.
