The Bluebell, South Wingfield

The number of times each of  us has driven past the Bluebell is beyond number but, now that the "Watch Sky Sports Here" banner has been taken down and it's obviously been spruced up, the Bluebell looked worth a visit. We weren't exactly treated like long-lost friends but the service was adequate and the choice of beers satisfactory. Their apparent boast is that there's always a £2 beer on offer (something from a brewery in Cornwall but this was nowhere near as flavoursome as the Boltcutter from Timothy Taylor's at £3.20 a pint. The surroundings were nice enough - some interesting old treadle tables - and a nice woodburning stove gave the place cheer. A little under-populated which is a shame for a place that's made an attempt to become a proper pub and not gone down the food line. In face the food choices are scant but honest. Worth stopping, if you're passing and a good alternative to the more-frequented Yew Tree nearby.
