Pub of the Season
Summer 2008
The Blue Bell,
Scunthorpe
Our Pub of the Season award for Summer 2008 goes to the Blue Bell in
Scunthorpe town centre, a popular Wetherspoon pub which has
revitalised the town centre. Manager at the Blue Bell is Jan Coaker
who has been at the helm for six years, after managing other
Wetherspoon outlets in Chichester and London.
Regular cask beers at the Blue Bell are Marston's Pedigree, Greene King
Abbot and Greene King IPA, supplemented with three or four guest
beers. A good selection of draught and bottled ciders is also offered.
In addition to this fine choice of real ale and cider, the Blue Bell hosts two
beer festivals a year in Spring and Autumn. These normally run for
over two weeks, and have featured beers from international brewers as
well as a great selection of UK real ales. A new development is the
mini-beer festival, featuring two UK brewers' beers over a week-long
period. The first of these, featuring ten beers each from Saltaire and
Ossett breweries, runs from 30 June - 5 July. Wine festivals are also
staged twice a year, usually after the main beer festivals.
The Blue Bell is open-plan in design, having been a conversion from
two shop units. It has a raised dining/drinking area at one side, and a
beer garden at the rear. Food is available from an extensive menu
between 9 am to 10 pm every day.
We congratulate Jan and her staff at the Blue Bell on winning this award.
