Most Disliked
Some visitors have pointed out that while the food is excellent, the wait times during peak hours can sometimes be longer than expected. This is a common issue for popular spots, particularly on Sundays when the pub is especially busy. Additionally, a few diners mentioned that parking can fill up quickly, especially during busy weekends, so arriving early is advisable. A couple of reviews also suggested that the salad could benefit from a bit of extra dressing, indicating some little tweaks that could enhance the overall food experience.

HONEST REVIEW!!! THE BLUE BELLS!!! First time ordering from The Blue Bells for Delivery over the Telephone. 2 Parmesans ordered with home made chips, salad and coleslaw with all the dips, a bolognese and a garlic mushroom. Everything tasted great and all the meals were faultless! Extremely satisfied! Huge portions! came very hot and we live out of town, so we are very content! (Delivery was really fast) My advice though would be to add a bit of extra olive oil to the salad. We will be ordering again from The Blue Bells In the future. Thank you. Brian.

A walknin for two on a Friday evening. About 8 tables occupied with 4's and 2's. Service was very prompt. Brilliant value for the special, two course for £14.00. Food was equally good quality. All the food that came out around us looked good too. Its well worth a visit.

We've just had a 24 + hour power cut and, unable to cook, decided to order two Sunday dinners. The food was superb, very generous portions, ready at the time arranged for collection, and well packed so that it was still piping hot when we got it home. Thank you, we'll definitely be back!

Good little find. Food was amazing. There is a special deal on two courses for £13.95. Everything was delicious even down to the salad with dressing on it. The waitress Gabby was very efficient even though she was running the bar, taking orders, serving food and taking payment all by herself. Will definitely be back.
