Blue Bell Earlswood - Solihull

Great pub. Lots of choice of ciders especially love the cheddar valley and the Food is excellent. Will definitely be returning.

We drove here specially on a long trip south as convenient from motorway. Very disappointed with general appearance of the place. Looks very run down and in need of maintenance. The general feeling of our group was that they didn't want to stay for food as it wasn't what we expected so we just had a drink and left. The photos look nice but in reality it is very tired looking a d the outside furniture is in pretty poor state. Sorry but it isn't a very pretty place to eat or drink.

The Blue Bell is located next to the Stratford Canal with safe and quiet mooring available. There is a good selection of beers. The cider is great! It is still cider (sweet, medium or dry) and 6% so up to strength but not over the top. Food was the best I've had for some time. A huge yorshire pudding with good mash and an enormous helping of slow-cooked beef brisket in tasty gravy. No room for pudding or I would have had the treacle sponge. We visited on a Thursday. I recommend booking a table because it gets busy. Definitely worth going out of your way to visit.

Booked with a friend for Sunday Carvery. Lady greeted us and showed us to the table. Busy. Good selection of beer and cider. Carvery was ok nothing special in my opinion. Like to serve my own veg not get looked at when you ask for crispier roast potatoes... £10.50 for a medium plate

Came on Sunday 29th , asked for four adults two children’s , was told medium or small plates I haven’t been here for food before ,,but asked for 1medium , and 5 small which was way to much for to children under 7 , the meat was cut like door steps, the mash done in cheese , everything had melted butter on? Roasts were not cooked, hard inside as was the carrots , all the family left a lot on plates for £69 what a waste , also felt terrible asking for a carrot that turned out hard anyway , all in all won’t be back , maybe customers who rate here maybe never had a traditional roast before , as this was not the best
