The Bluebell, Ormskirk

Closed.

Situated in a small village between Ormskirk and Southport, the Blue Bell is a bit isolated and probably attracts more of a passing trade or people out for dining. The pub is a bit on the eccentric side, tatty but but always interesting with a car boot sale feel that makes you think someone has just emptied out the contents of their garage. To the right of the main door, the area is geared towards the diners although it hardly exudes anything luxurious for any special occasions. A small room can be found at the rear with large drape curtains in an attempt to capture some form of opulence. The main bar has a darts area at one end, piano and plasma screenover over a coal fire. There are plenty of brasses, jugs, bottles, statuettes, stringless guitars, old radios, farm implements and who knows what that capture the attention. On the beer front, it was hard to see what was available as the locals were hogging the bar making it difficult to see but from what I could gather, the Ales included Tetly's, Moorhouse Pride of Pendle and 2 others. The quality of the PofP was very good. The beer garden at the rear contains a small pet farm and some pretty rank toilets in a semi portacabin. It is a bit of an oddball place but worthy of popping in if in the area.

a great pub.. full of charecter and charectors... food second to none. i cannot recomend the blue bell highly enough
