I thought the food and drinks were disproportionately expensive.

Brilliant food. Very authentic and tasted great. Good selection of tapas and brilliant offers. Staff were attentive but not over bearing. We will definitely visit again if we stay on Chester again.

Have been here many times and always excellent, and my favourite dish is the chorizo, however it was not as good this time someone been heavy handed with the chilli oil hmmmmm, it lost that savoury sweetness with background warmth and just became too hot and spicy all other dishes were fine.

Unfortunately we were a little disappointed with the food. Hummus didn’t taste right and veg with it was a little limp. The other dishes we had were mediocre.

Spent my anniversary at Blue Bell and it was absolutely delightful. Had a selection of tapas - gorgeous food, very flavoursome. Sangria was the perfect compliment to go with it. Their desserts were absolutely brilliant too - both in display and taste!
