Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Spirit Vaults
The former Blue Bell has been fully renovated in light, semi-modern style. It retains two separate bars, with the one you enter having a restaurant beyond, with the other having the Morgan Brewmasters brewing vessels to look at further back. Also has a patio terrace by the entrance. With a total of eight handpumps divided between the two counters, I found four in-house brews - including the Vaults Gold (£3.70) - two guests and a pair of Snails Bank ciders.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Blue Bell Inn
A shardlow Brewery tap with a choice of three Shardlow ales, two guest ales and two ciders, on our visit. This is a traditional two roomed pub, with a lounge and bar side, served by a central bar area. The locals including the barmaid were friendly and chatty and made us most welcome. We went for the Shardlow Golden Hop and Peakstone ales Oblivion, both of which were top class. The bus stop is also across the road from the pub, which was very handy for us heading back to Burton on Trent.
