The Bluebell Inn - Restaurants in Saffron Walden, England - Food and Drink Guide, Restaurant Reviews

The Bluebell Inn, aptly painted in striking blue, is an atmospheric, centuries-old building steeped in history – it was the birthplace of notorious highwayman Dick Turpin. Luckily, you’ll find no Dick Turpin types at The Bluebell these days – it is now a delightfully cosy, family-run venue offering fantastic food and drink. The menu centres on tasty, homemade, traditional classics. I had the braised pigeon breast with mashed potato and vegetables, while my companion had whole plaice with new potatoes and vegetables – both dishes were simply perfect. My bread and butter pudding was the crowning glory of this comfort-food feast. The Bluebell is famous for its fantastic selection of beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks, so ensure you sample a quality tipple or two on your visit – especially if your visit coincides with one of their frequent popular live music nights.
