Live Music, Beer Garden, Vegan Burgers!

For a rock music loving vegan such as myself, The Blue Bell is a dream venue! They regularly hold gigs here, and the pub has lots of music memorabilia from artists such as Motorhead, Janis Joplin, Black Sabbath, and Jimi Henderix.

The entire menu is vegan and consists only of burgers and a couple of sides along with a small children's menu. I went for the 'Rage Againet The Mac-hine' with additional 'This Isn't Bacon Rashers' and a side of 'Spicy Mayo', and my friend had the 'Lynyrd Skynard'. Both of us upgraded our fries to 'Trufle Oil Fries with Shaved Parmesan'. The burgers were both great, but the fries could have done with a bit more of the toppings. The portion sizes were just right, and the staff were really nice too.

The Blue Bell's current lease ends in September, and the pub may not be vegan from that point on. I highly recommend vegans in or near Conwy visit this cool and comfortable pub whilst they're definitely operating as a vegan business!

Delcious vegan burger

Was thrilled to discover this place when looking for a vegan lunch in Conwy. Everything is vegan, with a long list of burgers to choose from. I went for a burger that had bean chilli in it. Not something I've seen before! Was delicious, would recommend.

Love this place!

We were trying to find somewhere to stop on our journey home and came across The Bluebell. I couldn't believe it was 100% vegan! Burgers and fries aslre so good, the staff were so lovely. Can't wait to visit again!

Very delicious and lots of options

We loved the food at this place. We went there four people, everyone finished their dishes even though they were very filling and you didn’t really feel hungry when half-way through.
The many options on the menu all looked good. Unfortunately they were all out of their “dogs” when we went.

Pros: Great food, Many choices + ALL VEGAN!, You won’t be leaving hungry

Junk food heaven in a pub!

Fabulous choice of burgers, hot dogs, nachos and sides. Everything on the menu is vegan. Boards in the bar indicate which beers and wines are vegan. Lovely friendly staff, dog friendly venue, and a big sunny garden. Perfect.

Decent burgers

Great burgers. Really tasty. Portions a bit small for the price. Very limited gluten free options despite the menu implying they might have more. Really odd to still serve dairy milk with hot drinks.

Pros: Lots of burgers and hot dogs to choose from

Cons: Odd that they sell dairy milk in a vegan pub, Very limited gluten free options, Expensive

Delicious food

The cheeseburger style burger with gherkins was amazing, so were the nachos (great cheese and guac). Food came quick and was reasonably priced.

Bit odd that it's not listed on HC as vegan, I almost missed it on my search.

Unexpected find

It's surprising to find a vegan pub and it's very understated so we thought we'd wandered into the wrong place but staff were friendly and helpful and they serve decent vegan fast food with plenty of choice.
It was just what we needed.

Pros: Very welcoming, Plenty of vegan options, Live music

Cons: Not very cosy

Just go there!

We've had the vegan burger with bacon and cheese, the mission hot dog and the Biscoff loaded pancakes and it was all the best food, we've had in whole Wales so far (for burgers and Pancakes ;)
It was so so delicious and we can definitely recommend this place!

Pros: Many vegan options , Burgers, hot dogs AND sweet Pancakes , Really nice pub feeling

Cons: Nothing

Are you a sausage connoisseur?

I am. I am always up for a good hot dog or sausage based dish and their hot dogs did not disappoint. The chips were some of the best I've ever had too.

Lush pub. It would be my local if I lived here.

20% off during Veganuary.

We had the K dog and the Blondie.

Pros: Good specials, Extensive menu , Nice selection of beers and ciders

Cons: Parking is only 1 hour outside the pub, Not a 100% vegan establishment

Great little pub

I really enjoyed it here - from the outside it just looks like a standard pub however the inside is cosy (albeit a bit dark) and completely vegan which was not expected at all. We went in the afternoon and it was a nice chilled out atmosphere.

We both had a hot dog which were amazing - so glad they use V Dogs. We were also impressed with how neat the sauce was! Coleslaw portion was unnecessarily large.

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

An unexpected find

Conwy is a beautiful and historic town, we were not expecting to find such a gem in its very centre, 2 minutes walk from the iconic castle! The blue bell was a wonderful experience after walking around the old town, and the food was delicious! The hotdog in particular was fantastic!

Unfortunately the soup came with a disappointing amount of bread, and the coleslaw was a little too crunchy! I’m not fond of the use of disposable plates and cutlery, but I expect this is from the impact of Covid!

Overall we were incredibly pleased with our experience, made more pleasant by the friendly service!

Pros: Fully vegan food menu, Beer 😄, Wonderful service

Cons: Disposable plates

Delicious food and in a pub in a gorgeous village

We had looked up our options before arriving in Conwy so we knew this was here but it’s still so surprising to go to a lovely tourist town and be able to eat. We noticed this place and it was in a gorgeous building. I was so excited to be able to eat everything. You order at the counter and I loved that the hotdogs all had band names. I chose The Mission with cheese. It was also served with fries. I asked about non alcoholic drinks and was advised of a cider (less than 0.05% alcohol). The cherry and berries cider was delicious. Highly recommend if you are looking for something low alcohol. The hot dog was really tasty, just the right size and right amount of sauces. The fries were really crispy. Some of the nicest fries I’ve had. My partner had the Black Forest pancakes (delicious) and had fries too

Loving The Meanies and Cosmic Psychos posters in the pub too!

Pub with vegan junkfood

You could compare it to the vegan junk food bar if you know it. Everything on the menu is vegan. They say they also look out for less waste but we were kind of suprised that the 'plates' and cutlery were throw-away. Not ecofriendly at all!

Pros: Everything is vegan and tasty

Cons: Not many variety in options, Throw away cutlery in a less waste restaurant, Toilets could be better

Pub Grub!

Super friendly staff, dog friendly, fully vegan menu & drinks list, indoor and outdoor seating, reasonably priced, free parking outside, fresh food, local produce, delicious food including a kids menu. Had a lovely time here, pulled off the main road on our way down to Snowdonia and found this place a convenient stop. Will definitely come back when we visit Conwy in the future.

Pros: Fully vegan menu, Delicious food, Kids menu

Cons: No high chairs

Tasty vegan hot dog...

There are times when tasty vegan fast food is what is needed, and having walked the coastal path from Llanfairfechan this was The Blue Bell provided (and some very good beer)
