The Blue Bell Inn, Halkyn

David, thanks for you comments. Well spotted, our food is always cooked to order. We aren't a fast food shop, we like to cook as well as we can as quick as we can and sometimes the wait might be a bit longer than expected. Sorry if you were in a rush, let us know if that is the case and we'll endevour to accommodate you, although we won't compromise on our strive for quality.

Thank you for your kind comments, I'm glad we were able to make you welcome.
There has been some confusion on the subject of the name, the previous owner renamed it the Bluebell(as in the flower of which you speak) but I have records and evidence that it has always been the Blue Bell Inn (of the ding dong type) for many a year. At our height above sea level, evidence of bluebells are thin on the ground but they are around and quite lovely at this time of year not far away and they can be enjoyed on many of the walks we start from here.
I'll be first to admit to being hopeless at the Welsh language but I think you will find that Tafarn y Gloch Las is the correct form in N.Wales (I believe that in South Wales Gloch is Green rather than Blue up here).
Please introduce yourself when you are next in and I'll endevour to share what information we have.
Cheers
Steve

Hobby pub, sounding my own trumpet? I don't think so!
Why do you think we are in the Good Pub Guide, Good Beer Guide and Good Cider Guide - they can't be paid for, they are earned? There is no other pub in NE Wales that can offer that combination with our warm welcome, the good clean conversation, guaranteed quality - backed up by 100% cask marque scores and our enjoyable surroundings.
I back my brilliant bar staff all the way and I am pleased to say that they continue to make good and reliable desisions about who we like to continue to invite into our home.
I hope you enjoy your time elsewhere while we will continue to raise standards here!
