Stanbrook Abbey

We booked for a Family reunion of 10 people. Food was very good and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, best pub food I’ve had for a while. Service and atmosphere good too. Would definitely recommend to others and I look forward to returning on my next visit to the area.

Absolutely smashing pub. It's got great vibes inside and out, fantastic service, and some of the best pub food I've had in over a year. The pool table and darts were a lot of fun too, and they've even got some tasty charity sweets you can buy on the bar. Shout out to Molly for some super friendly service and making sure we always had everything we needed. Whether you're after a local pub to hang out in for the evening or a great place to go for a tasty meal, I couldn't recommend the Blue Bell at Callow End enough.

Visited Thursday 7pm. Car park full, parked down road. Hot inside, no air conditioning. Staff friendly, seemed to be inexperienced. Forgot food, forgot drinks, but after leaving had actually paid for them. Did not bother contacting them as quite embarrassing. 4 adults, 2 x fish and chips which were 4 out 5 score, sausage ok but surf and turf for £18.50 so disappointing, smallest steak ever and frozen fried scampi. Had to wait for mustard as had to wash small bowls. We also had sweet and wish we did not bother. This could be so much better, very easy. Will not return and visit other village pub. We have not been here since previous propiertor and previous before that which was Sue and excellent and visited often. If your just needing a drink, yes visit as lovely. Would say the Amber Ale was fantastic 5 out of 5.
