The Bluebell Inn — Restaurant in Amber Valley

It's in a lovely rural setting. Decent outdoor seating. Nice old stone building.Good size car park.

Inside its an attractive environment and pleasantly decorated with an eclectic range of ornamentation.

Service is very good and prompt, and there's a decent amount of staff on, . (we went for Sunday lunch at 1:30). It was packed, and they do pack them in here.. Tables too close together for my liking, too noisey to the point I couldn't here my parents the other side of our table! So this is why I give it only 3*. It was hot too, due to all the bodies packed in to a small dining room of about 14'x30'... 36 people squashed in. The food was really very good Indeed, we all liked what we had and you'd be hard pressed to moan about any of it. Except, the portion size is HUGE,, massive amounts, and as a result, I could not eat it all!.. . I don't like wasting food. They could save 20% on their costs if they reduced the portion size to a sensible amount. This applies to the starters and the mains .. Massive !

I had the smoked salmon starter which was served with prawns and salad. I ordered well done roast beef which was cooked to perfection. On the plate were served mashed and roast potatoes. A terrine of seasonal vegetables and jug of gravy were bought for the table to share. I was so full I couldn't even order pudding which is unheard of!! Smart toilets. Large accessible car park at the rear. Booking is essential to ensure that the table is secured for...

The food was good but that was more than I can say for the young lady behind the bar S he seemed to have an attitude problem the moment we walked up to the bar. When coming to our table she seemed to have a don’t care attitude an example was when she came up to our table to ask if we wanted a dessert she said “are you having anything or not” which I thought was very rude and when leaving we said bye and she never even replied but I would just like to say the other young lady working in the restaurant area was very pleasant and perhaps the rude young lady needs to have some training from her on how to be pleasant to customers. I’m afraid we won’t be returning even though the...
