With a wealth of fine dining experience, they create seasonal, locally inspired dishes that showcase the best of Yorkshire’s produce, ensuring an unforgettable dining experience. Along with premium cask ales and fine wines, chosen to enhance every meal.
The Inn’s interiors have been fully realised under the careful direction of Simon’s wife, Susie Winder. A blend of quality furnishings, cosy fires, and thoughtful details create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.
Whether you’re looking for a healthy breakfast, a light lunch or celebrating a special occasion, the Blue Bell is a celebration of Yorkshire hospitality at its finest.
