| Dick Turpin, the highwayman, was the son of the innkeeper of The Bluebell. Tuna - 26 Feb 2017 20:48 |
An intersting pub, witha facinating history. We dropped in late on Sunday afternoon, to find the kitchen closed. However, as it had only just closed, it was quicly re-opened and three meals rapidly produced. One of our beers proved to be the end of the barrel and was changed without question. Only a brief visit, but the management/staff proved to be very welcoming and freindly, the beer was very good (the Nelson's Revenge in particular!) and itwas very comfortable. We may well return (particularly to see the saturday Classic Car meeting). MartynG - 23 Sep 2013 13:35 |
| The Bluebell Inn is another good, but reasonably remote country pub in North Essex. I believe that opening hours are fairly limited and my early Sunday evening visit, was not long before the scheduled last orders. 5 ales were on - Adnams Sole Star, Southwold Bitter & Broadside, Woodfordes Wherry & Nethergate Old Growler. Apsalls was the cider. I plumped for the 2.7% Sole Star, which was reasonable. A small collection of locals and a couple of dogs were the only clientele. Worth a try. blue_scrumpy - 1 Mar 2012 18:50 |
| Nice setting, clean, well run and welcoming. Scrubbed pine and Dick Turpins ghost at your shoulder. Never eaten here yet- and slightly put off by the food brouhah a while back but well kept beer, Aspalls (hooray) and papers at the weekend. Have managed to avoid the folk singers *puts finger in one ear* and am looking forward to going back here. How many pubs can you say that about? quercus - 20 Feb 2009 19:54 |
| Lovely village pub. great range of beers good cider and even bittburger for lager drinkers. I had some nice admans. lunch was great and there was nothing to suggest the problems mentioned below. sunday lunch was hearty to say the least. they had a lovely garden out the back with a minor menagerie of chickens, quail a goat and even guinea pigs. Another pub that caters to the sunday lunch brigade but has managed to keep the pub feel and good local welcome. mralistair - 15 Jun 2008 19:51 |
