    Good food. Service was excellent, a young man named Scott served us and his interaction with the group was spot on! Thank you Scott x

    Pleasant atmosphere in a prime location by the river. Clean and fresh appeal to the venue. Extremely pleasant reception and explanation of options for a lunchtime visit. Sadly, the protracted delay in serving the ordered food cast a shadow over the experience - 40 minutes seemed excessive given the numbers present - maybe someone forgot or misplaced the order? The food was delightful when it arrived and of adequate proportions. Refreshments served in good time and were welcomed on a warm day. Overall, a nice place to visit on a sunny day, a decent choice of menus (lunch menu is recommend as serious value for money) with pleasant and well turned out staff. The refurbishment has brought a breath of fresh air to the place.

    To start with, the refurbishment of The Blue Bell is very good, the staff very friendly and helpful, seeing us to our table and taking our order when we were ready. The food was excellent, all five of our party thoroughly enjoyed what we had. We have already planned to go back very soon.

    Possibly due to it being a nice day and very busy but bar service was terrible. No queueing system and bar staff did not keep an eye on who should be served next. Lots of customers bickering with each other who should be served next. Husband waited around 20 minuets to get served and there wasn’t a hugely big queue. Much busier with less bar staff in other yarn pubs but bar staff managed a lot better.

    Went for Sunday lunch, very poor, frozen Yorkshire, beef not from a roast, very little but what we had was nice, belly pork all fat, chicken had more bone than meat. Staff friendly and very clean. Not good value for money
