Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Another excellent meal was enjoyed by all . It was good to find some new dishes on the menu, in particular the hake and mussel dish was superb . As always service was perfect and we were warmly welcomed by Ayman and felt our custom...was valued. A great local business that deserves to be supported.More

Exquisite food ! We enjoyed a gorgeous lunch . There was five of us and we all had starters, mains and puddings. I had the special - venison , it was perfectly cooked . Followed by a scrumptious apple crumble and custard. My husband had...the steak which he said was the best he had had in years. We were treated perfectly and I would highly recommend this restaurant . We will be back !More

A second visit recently (the first to conduct a cheeky bit of research) this time to celebrate our mother’s 84th birthday. From the warmest welcome to the attention to service and a bit of cheeky banter we all had a wonderful evening. Moreover this second...visit confirmed what we had discovered the first time around; that the food here is created with passion and a real attention to flavours, with everything made fresh and on site. I cannot praise the management and team highly enough. Well done. Even though we had travelled some distance to be there this will not be our last visit.More

Second time on visiting brought friends with us this time . They absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back again. The lamb tagine was bursting with Moroccan flavours and so tender followed by the lemon cheesecake nice and tangy.

I came to The Bluebell for my dad’s birthday for an evening meal, and was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome on arrival. The food was absolutely delicious, a particular highlight for me being the Swordfish with a char grilled texture mixed with a...tomato stew and new potatoes and a side of spinach and pine nuts. Additionally, I really enjoyed the pancake with cherries topped with vanilla ice cream for dessert! My dad chose the chocolate fondant for afterwards and to my surprise it even came with a single candle in the middle and we sang “Happy Birthday” which I thought was a really lovely touch. Overall, absolutely delicious food and very welcoming staff. Will definitely visit again and would highly recommend!More

As a group of retired ex business colleagues from different parts of the country we meet up in restaurants usually recommended in the Michelin guide, and this was our first visit to Henley in Arden. The Blue Bell turned out to be an excellent choice...as the hospitality was warm and friendly with many personal touches. The food was excellent with various European dishes and everything cooked fresh and to a high standard. A most enjoyable lunch and certainly to be recommended.More

Excellent ingredients beautifully cooked in a lovely atmospheric restaurant with a very welcoming and convivial host. We had beef koftas and scallops to start followed by the Lebanese chicken and swordfish - would highly recommend it all.

A wonderful experience with great company, great service and delicious food. A menu which was explained by the proprietor - I have problems with meus as I keep changing my mind!! I chose a signature main, Seafood Risotto and doing the 'menu envy watch' for...what everyone else had I was happy with my choice but would happily have other mains in future. The service was efficient and unhurried enabling lots of conversation to flow without any pressure to hurry up. A memorable experience which I hope to repeat ...More
