The Blue Bell Inn is located in East Drayton, Retford, Nottinghamshire. We always have something special on offer: when it's cold outside, keep warm by the traditional open fire while in summer you and the family will enjoy our outdoor family seating area. You'll savour our selection of real ales, lagers, fine wines and non-alcoholic drinks as well as our teas and speciality coffees - the perfect way to spend time with friends.

We have a wide selection of home cooked main meals and snacks with a mouthwatering selection of desserts to follow. We're famous for our food and service and will give you a night to remember!

We look forward to welcoming you, whether you're having a meal with us or coming in for a drink with friends in the evening!
