The Bluebell Inn — Restaurant in England

Just been for a meal with my husband, lovely menu and lovely place . Starter was amazing! Ordered the beef stroganoff, it was lovely apart from the fact that there wasn’t much beef I wasn’t going to mention anything as I hate to complain and the waiting staff were so young and polite but I felt that the meat was so sparse I’d let them know for future reference. I mentioned to the young girl after she asked how the meal was, that there wasn’t much meat and made it clear that wasn’t complaining at all . She said she would tell the kitchen Well following our comment the bar maid made us feel unwelcome, so unprofessional openly laughing at us ( looking at us )with the waiter . It was so unprofessional and intimidating!! None of the waiting staff came over to us to ask how we were or follow up on my comment about the lack of meat ! The same bar maid she came over with the bill even thou we hadn’t asked for it No one asked us how the meal was So shocked ! Shame as the...

We booked this meal to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Unfortunately it turned out to be a very busy Saturday and we arrived with 3 other tables. We accepted that they may be a delay but it took nearly half an hour to be served a drink, a further hour before our 1 starter arrived and over 2 hours from arrival before the main course were delivered. My wife was disappointed with her lobster salad (at £22 not cheap) and my salmon en croute was very average. The potatoes were the most tasty food served and the other vegetables were cooked well. Apart from indifferent main items, what grated with me was the £3 charged for each of 5 small glasses of Diet Coke - if we drank alcohol we could have had a bottle of wine for less! Glad to get home to a promptly delivered coffee. Obviously it was not a great birthday celebration and we will not...

The food is superb. We happened upon it by chance one night last month and have been back three times so far and will continue until I've worked my way through the excellent and varied menu. (Then I'll start again) The atmosphere is lovely. The staff are lovely. Friendly, polite and exactly the right amount of attentive. Just been for Sunday lunch. Beef is not normally my first choice (I've had too many chewy potions) but something told me this wouldnt be one of those. I was correct. It was the most tender cut of beef I have eaten for a long time. (Maybe ever) Fresh vegetables, huge yorkshire the incredible desserts. I recommend it to everyone I know who loves good food. Can't wait for Christmas menu. (Too soon?) Down side..I'm going to have to exercise...
