| Here on Saturday lunch time and just as good as stated byTGW's post. I was however disapointed with their opening hours. On a Saturday they are only open from 1.00-4.00 and close then till 7.00. I was at the footy so had the best part on an hour to spare before my train was due so had to slum it next door in the Canal Tavern. bjbrummiejohn - 7 Nov 2011 12:37 |
| During an entire week 'doing' the Cheshire Ring, sampling a fair number of pubs of varying worthiness, the Blue Bell Inn probably came out as the best in the opinion of our 8-strong crew. Indeed, we did the ring anti-clockwise mainly to ensure a visit could be made. And we weren't disappointed, with 6 cask ales served (at prices which were a godsend to South-Easterners like us - £2.40 a pint!) and were sourced from local breweries and many beyond. Each were sampled and found to be kept brilliantly. Apparently the licensees are CamRA award winners and I'm not surprised at these plaudits. Plainly the couple running the show know a thing or two about cellarmanship. The pub is attractive inside and out, and we managed to find seating despite it being a busy Saturday night. Locals and other canallers were on board, all enjoying the wares. We had a very hearty time of it and the mood was perfectly-conducive for a damn good session! Although last orders were not late, the landlady very generously allowed as much time as we required to sup up our beers. I'm not surprised to find BITE users so far saving this on average as 9.1. Given the context of the local area, which is not exactly saturated with outstanding ale outlets, this place really stands out and deserves the credit it receives. Long may this continue.

| Canalside pub down the end of a cul-de-sac. Almost walked past before realising it was a pub. They had five ales on - went for the Dark Star American Pale which was an excellent pint. Pleasnt place with a main bar and two areas along with a room at the back. Kidsgrove station isn't far away and the number 20 Crewe-Hanley bus stops close by. Snarling_Mallard - 5 Jun 2010 23:03 |

| Made a welcome return here last night. Delighted to find it was up to its usual very high standard. A real traditional pub, friendly people behind the bar, excellent range of ales, good atmosphere and conversation. Definitely one of my top five in the country. ed.spbw - 26 Nov 2008 22:22 |
