    I had Christmas lunch (on my own). I had my choice of gluten free prawn cocktail starter, steak and chips with vegetables and a gluten free chocolate brownie dessert. Everything was delicious and perfect in every way possible. The chef cooked the steak exactly right. Service was great (no fuss) and the atmosphere for the day was great too - yes a few noisy children, but it was Christmas Day and actually it was quite nice having families! I have eaten in top restaurants around the world and I know my food and wine, and on balance (whilst not Michelin star - I wouldn’t’ve gone if it was) this was really very enjoyable. I had a lovely lunch and will go again. I went for a short walk along the river afterwards and it was just so pleasant. Thank you everyone so much.

    Fantastic visit to the Blue Bell. Service by all was brilliant and very helpful throughout our time there. we sat in the bar area and there were a few others at the bar who were chatty and was lovely atmosphere. We were advised the meat feast for the 3 of us would be more than enough and it really was, food was excellent and cant wait to return. Many thanks to all the staff it was a cracking night
