Best British Restaurants in Stanley

We had a lovely meal and experience with one notable exception. Each of the 4 people who ordered the Pork main course were disappointed with their meal. We had expected a roast pork meal. The offering was altogether too firm and the plate entirely brown. This was a big disappointment to half of our party. The other half of the party were entirely happy.

Fantastic visit to the Blue Bell. Service by all was brilliant and very helpful throughout our time there. we sat in the bar area and there were a few others at the bar who were chatty and was lovely atmosphere. We were advised the meat feast for the 3 of us would be more than enough and it really was, food was excellent and cant wait to return. Many thanks to all the staff it was a cracking night

First visit for my birthday. Drinks and food were outstanding. Decor and atmosphere perfect at Xmas time. Can not wait to return with family and friends to experience it all again, xx

21 is a real gem of a restaurant. The food is fabulous and there's a lovely atmosphere. Although it was busy, the noise from other diners was not intrusive and there were plenty of staff to ensure you were well looked after. On that note, the staff are an absolute credit to the restaurant; friendly, chatty and smiley, whilst still being professional. They were attentive, without being intrusive, which is a real skill to master. Every member of staff from front of house reception, waiting staff, sommelier and bar staff, helped to make our visit a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Not sure why I haven't been here before, perhaps I thought it might be a little too formal but that's my mistake as it's not in the slightest bit stuffy, quite the opposite. I may have lost out on a wonderful place and some fantastic food over the years because of a misconception, but I plan on rectifying that error by going back as often as I can from now on.

Team absolutely spot on, food was amazing and great coffee to wash it down
