Pub of the Season
Autumn 2010
The Blue Bell,
Scunthorpe
Our Autumn Pub of the Season award goes to the Blue Bell on
Oswald Road, Scunthorpe, part of the J D Wetherspoon
organisation.
This popular pub has a strong commitment to real
ale, helped in no small part by the enthusiasm of manager Paul
Ferguson and staff. Not only do they host the two national
Wetherspoon beer festivals in Spring and Autumn each year, but
also put on mini beer festivals featuring real ales from a couple of
breweries, often those suggested by customers. Recent minifestivals
have seen beers from the likes of Kelham Island,
Bradfield, Goose Eye and Thornbridge adorning the bar.
The quality of the beers is excellent, and Wetherspoon's policy of
offering a pint of real ale for under £ 2 clearly pays dividends
with customers. The pub also offers value for money breakfasts
from 8am, and has a varied full and snack meal menu all day up
to 10pm, which appeals to people of all ages. The curry night on
a Thursday is always particularly well supported.
On a Wednesday evening the pub hosts a popular pub quiz, with
a cash prize for the winning team. The pub always has a good
selection of real ales, as well as an extensive range of ciders and
bottled beers.
Their most recent beer festival ran 27 October - 14 November,
and their award was presented during this event on
Saturday 30 October.
