Real Ale Ray left this review about Bless

Known locally as the 'Bless', I was the only customer in here on my Sunday afternoon visit. Large pub with tiled area in front of the bar, lots of different seating areas. 3 handpumps serving Bass, a Dancing Duck beer which I didn't get the name of, and Burton Bridge Stairway to Heaven. I had the Burton Bridge, priced at £2.55 for a half. I attempted to drink it outside in the seating area, it wasn't very nice, flat as a pancake, so I left most of it. This place comes alive at the weekends with DJ nights and bands. The barman was pleasant, but it's not really my kind of place.

Strongers . left this review about Bless

The Bless was quiet during a recent Tuesday evening visit, but this isn’t the case on Fridays and Saturdays when there is a £1 admission charge after 22:30. The friendly barmaid informed me that this is a bit of a party pub at the weekend. The interior is long and thin with a bar counter that supports premium and craft keg. The cask options were Dancing Duck’s 22 and dcuk, the former being on form. I thought it was OK in here, but with so many decent pubs in the area a return visit isn’t on the cards.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Blessington Carriage

Partly opened-out, multi-room bar, thoroughly refurbished in a light semi-modern style. Various different seating areas around the bar, and a rear patio to one side. Unexciting selection of four real ales on from the five handpumps: Doom Bar, Pedigree, Abbot and Tribute (£1.60, half).
