About us

The Bluebell restaurant was opened ten years ago to great acclaim and is housed within a lovingly restored five hundred year old building which has been elegantly decorated to enhance your dining experience.

The kitchen is led by Head Chef Gavin Maguire. Gavin has worked at several one and two Michelin star and two Rosette establishments within the country.

We pride ourselves on using only the freshest and best ingredients whether they are sourced direct from farms across the country or through top distributors. Regardless our menu sacrifices nothing for quality and we insist on using the best food.

The Bluebell is deceptively large on the inside. Part of the restaurant's charm are the two separate dining areas; at the front a cosy and intimate space whilst at the rear you will find a larger sophisticated dining area.

The Bluebell is perfect for business entertaining, intimate evenings, delicious lunches or even a family celebration. Whatever the event we will do our utmost to make sure you have a truly special experience in a relaxing and elegant environment.

The restaurant is owner operated. Nothing is ever too much trouble, so whatever your requirements, please do not hesitate to ask.

Our menus

The Bluebell is famously regarded for the finest in modern British and European cuisine but with a sophisticated simplicity. We offer a la carte menus, set lunches and suppers as well as our popular Sunday lunches.

In the evenings we offer a Chef's Tasting Menu, a delectable six course menu to give you an opportunity to sample some of the Bluebell Classics.

Sunday lunches at The Bluebell are extremely popular being relaxed and perfect for family catch ups and celebrations.
