| Great friendly rural pub at the top of a hill with amazing views over the Dee Estuary. There were 4 real ales from the cask during our visit - Facer's Flintshire Bitter, Facer's Blue Bell Bitter (house beer), Dark Blue and Deuchars IPA. There were also 2 real ciders on offer - Newton Court Dry and Moles Black Rat plus a perry (Westons Herefordshire Perry). Dunkertons cider was available in bottles. Discounts for CAMRA members. blue_scrumpy - 1 Feb 2009 16:07 |

| 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. Steve Steve_Marquis - 29 Jan 2007 09:35 |
| Visited on a Saturday lunchtime. The pub was very quiet but there were 2 roaring fires and it was very cosy. A good welcome from the barmaid and we were offeres a tast of the beer and cider before committing to a full pint. 4 real ales, 2 real ciders and a perry were on and I can recommend the Blue Bell bitter as a good session beer. The food was good and fairly priced too.Judging by the time the food took to arrive it was fresly cooked to order. I would recommend this pub any day and if this is what a "Hobby Pub" is then lets have a lot more of them! davidrudd - 4 Nov 2006 18:42 |
| 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 Steve_Marquis - 31 May 2006 00:50 |
