Located within a 500-year-old building, the enchanting Bluebell Restaurant charms visitors to Chigwell. As you step inside, you will be met with an elegant and sophisticated interior, which succeeds in bringing this historic building into the 21st Century.
The focus here is on top-quality food and service. Having worked at various Michelin-star establishments, head chef Gavin Macguire has brought his culinary expertise to the Bluebell's kitchen, and the dishes featured on his creative menu maintain a delicate balance between beautiful presentation and robust flavours. A three-course meal from the à la carte menu (served on Friday and Saturday evenings) might start with seared Devon scallops with honey-roast pork belly, black pudding and Granny Smith apple, followed by Cornish lamb four ways with mini shepherds pie, olive-roasted loin, slow-cooked middle neck and crispy belly, and rounded off with the signature Bluebell chocolate forest with iced lime parfait, honeycomb, marshmallow, chocolate mousse and pistachio sponge. During the week, diners can sample the set lunch menu, which offers fantastic value for money for such quality cuisine (two courses £18.95, three courses £21.95).
For business lunches, intimate dinners or larger parties, the Bluebell is hard to beat - and if you're looking to hold an event here, the staff will be more than happy to help with the arrangements
