Bluebell Country Inn - York

We had a fabulous family meal, on Christmas eve, at The Bluebell. A lovely country pub serving great food in a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

This is probably our favourite restaurant in the area, but sadly with the closure of the local river crossing for some months we are unable to go back. Hopefully bridge reopening in February. We have been here many times over the years including Christmas Eve with friends until this year. Food always excellent, best cooked steak I have ever eaten was here though normally would have something lighter.

10/10! The meal was unbelievable, we had the 2 courses for £20. Lamb and beef fell apart instantly. I asked for regular gravy instead of a minted one on the menu and this was changed by the waitress. Pudding was gorgeous, sticky toffee and crumble. Wine was reasonably priced and very smooth. One of the best meals i’ve had in a long time.

Had been to the horse racing at Thirsk and decided to find somewhere for dinner. Searched on tripadvisor and found this restaurant on the way back to our accommodation. Rang up and they fitted us in at 30 minutes notice. Situated in a nice village the inn was easy to find and had plenty of parking. We were cordially welcomed and sat in a room with two other tables. Didn't have a starter so the first course was a tasty steak and ale pie. Lovely pastry and the meat melted in your mouth. Had a lovely lemon tart as a pudding.

Eat at this charming pub for the first time. Lovely decor and ambiance. Our starters and my main meal and desserts were great but my wife didn’t like her main meal as there was too much sauce on her pasta dish. When the waitress found out about this she informed me manager who came across very quickly and was very apologetic and took off my wife’s meal from the bill without any prompting from us. Excellent customer service and we will definitely return again soon
