We have stayed/visited the Blue Ball on many occasions over the years, and has become one of our favourite places to visit. We called in on Saturday lunchtime for a drink and snack on our way through to Lynmouth. Ordered drinks and grabbed a menu to peruse. Although there was several items to choose from, there was no sandwiches/rolls etc in the lite bites section. We didn’t want a full meal. So enquired at the bar if it was possible to make some sandwiches, to be told. It’s only what’s on the menu, and there was no other conversation to see if there was anything else that may be acceptable. So, we purchased some crisps and left. It’s not like they were busy (only 6 customers in), so I’m sure a cheese & pickle sandwich wouldn’t have been too difficult to deliver! Previously, nothing was too much trouble if you wanted something slightly off menu, but ‘the corporate’ approach now seems to be very much in place, which is a real shame. On a summers lunchtime it was always busy, both inside and outside, but certainly not the case this time. Perhaps a little more flexibility in your approach Blue Ball, is what is required!
