   Once again over charged by around £20 last time it was £60 and the time before £30 if it wasn’t for the food being so good honestly we wouldn’t go back ! This can’t just be us that this is happening too how many more people aren’t checking ???

   The first time we've eaten here, we thought it was lovely, the service was very good, the food was great and the place is beautifully decorated, we'll definitely be back, it isn't cheap but sometimes you have to be prepared to pay for good food and service.

    Overall, we had a lovely evening at The Bluebell and the food was good. However our experience was slightly dampened by the end of the evening, where we received a bill for £190 more than it should have been. Mistakes happen but that is a hefty amount to get wrong and the staff reaction was poor when we raised the concern. The manager left a waitress who was only a young girl to come & apologise and nothing was done to compensate for the issue, leaving us feeling less than happy.

    Although acceptable, the quality of the cooking was not as good as usual. The bream itself was cooked a point but the sauce was heavy handed and relied too heavily on sweetcorn for my taste (tinned?) I detected none of the promised seafood. My experience of the cooking at the Bluebell in the past has demonstrated a higher level of refinement and skill. I hope you are not planning to go downmarket.

    4 of us came on 26 may service was excellent starters very nice 3 of meals ok.... could have done with some vegetables and presentation my fish and chips were patently massively over cooked by 3 or 5 minutes although a dessert was deleted from our bill only went part to resolving it. The meal should have never come out

    We have eaten at the Bluebell several times and always found it good quality and a pleasant environment. This was our first time in the bar area instead of the restaurant but found it just as enjoyable.

    Love the decor and the staff are good, very attentive although it was very quiet when we were there. Last 2 times we've been food not quite met expectations- belly pork quite dry, fish batter overcooked. Menu been same for awhile, could do with new dishes. Pecan cake and ice cream were excellent.

    We arrived early but that was not a problem and we were shown straight to the table. The food was excellent as it always is. The service was very good - efficient without being pushy. Prices are about right for the quality of food supplied and the surroundings. The Bluebell is the "go to" pub for me and a former work colleague for our regular catch up and lunch for good reason.

    The place is beautiful with a lovely ambiance but the food was a little disappointing, the vegetables we got in comparison to what we saw others got were a small portion and over cooked

    Outstanding meal and service. We eat here regularly and the food is always excellent. We would prefer the pie to be a proper pie with shortcrust pastry all around. Have eaten most items on the menu so a bit more variety would entice us more. Oh and bring back your lovely sausage and mash.
