Blue Bell Pub – Stoke Ferry

A community run pub/cafe. Beer is well kept but l have not eaten there (yet) so can't comment, but the meals look good.

We visited here having been to Oxborough Hall and were pleased to find it was sausage and cider fest. Nice venue,and friendly staff, but the food was not up to expectations. Our 6 orders arrived in stages with over 15 minutes between different people getting their food. The peas that went with the sausage, mash and Yorkshire puddings came out after the two people had finished the rest of their food. A random pot of peas on its own is a really odd way to end a meal! The sausages were a mixed bag with traditional and chilli beef being very good, but two orders came out incorrect and two people's kangaroo sausages were lukewarm at best when they did arrive. We did talk to the staff at the time and the lead waitress apologised for the delay, but no offers to rectify the issues or see if we needed another drink or anything else were made. It was nice to see the Morris dancers in action and a pub trying to add something else to village life, but on this occasion the food let them down.

The Blue Bell Pub-Cafe provided the outside catering for our family party. The food was deliciously home cooked and our guests gave so much positive feedback, that I wished the Blue Bell could hear them. The food came on time and was beautifully presented. Thank you to everyone who helped make this special occasion, extra special. Liz & Lester Snapes

Well. As per the Monkees..." I am/ we are believers" . Fabulous atmosphere, and service, ab fab group of people make this work. We have only been in the vicinity 6 weeks buts it's a beacon of light in the area and must (or should be ) an example to all those other villages in danger of losing their local pub / community centre point...definitely worth a visit. 👍

Fabulous community run pub and garden. Great atmosphere, friendly volunteers and staff. Serving beer, great food and coffee. Recently opened and destined to flourish!
