Ring o Bells in Cheshire West and Chester

Always delicious food. I meet friends in Frodsham for lunch. There are many places to choose from but we always go the ringer’s because you are guaranteed a gorgeous meal. The menu has lots of choice and everything is cooked to order and really fresh. The building is 400 yrs old and full of charm. The staff are delightful

Was staying overnight locally.and both my partner and I didn't fancy the hotel offering, went for a.d drive and stumbled upon this gem of a pub, on entering was a little bit thrown by the lack of standard lagers but.plumped for the Manchester Craft Lager which turned out to be a great choice (shame we don't get it down South!!!) We enquired if they had a table available for food and they managed to squeeze us in. Food was both plentiful and delicious and price.m was very reasonable. Would highly recommend if in the area and also would look to revisit if we're back this way again.

What an amazing meal we had yesterday at the Ring of Bells for Mother’s Day. All 3 of us went for the Sunday roast consisting of a trio of meats and it was one of the best roasts we have tasted. Desserts were delicious with all 3 of us having something different, sticky toffee pudding, cheesecake and Bakewell. The atmosphere was lovely with a good choice of music that wasn’t too loud. Friendly staff. Love this place. Thank you for helping to make my Mother’s Day special.

Amazing food staff was so polite an really helpful highly recommended

Had lunch after shopping in Frodsham. Lovely meal. Quick service from friendly staff. Piping hot with hot plates so it stayed hot. We both had the lighter bites, thankfully. The portion size was spot on.

We dined here when we stayed for a night in Frodsham. Quite a nice authentic little British pub, with very pleasant staff. We were a little early for our table, but it was ready for us. The food is fresh and tasty and they had a decent children’s menu, which my five-year-old daughter enjoyed a decent size bowl of spaghetti Bolognese from. If you want Gastro pub style food, then I would say this probably just narrowly misses that style but it’s still incredibly good food. Would be very happy if this was my local! Decent prices as well, and once again, staff were lovely, didn’t get the young woman’s name who served us, but she was incredibly busy, but still very patient and well mannered. She was a young woman with piercings and dark hair.

Had lunch there today,hadn't booked but was found a table no problem.staff absolutely lovely and very welcoming. Food was soooo nice ,would recommend roast beef Sunday lunch.Home cooked and delicious.warm and friendly pub.ill definitely be returning.

Fantastic pub excellent food including vegetarian dishes, good choice of beer and very friendly staff.

The best pub food I've had in a long while, definitely worth a visit if you like value and great food

Really welcoming pub, and especially the chap who went out of his way to find us a spot on a busy Wednesday lunchtime. Food was freshly made and served promptly- a fair price too. Best to book next time we visit - and we will be back.

Cosy warm fires Incredible value soup and a sandwich £6.20 and a coffee £2.20 can't get better definitely recommend

Had a great time with a large party. This is a great pub that is warm and very friendly. Good beer and atmosphere. 2 courses and drinks for less than £30..... bargain.

barman was welcoming and fabulous

Another excellent lunch. Beautifully presented, high-quality cooking and service, fully recommended!!!

Best pub in frodsham. Lovely atmosphere on Christmas day

Had an excellent time here will come again

Fantastic Christmas meal for 11 people. Adele and the team were brilliant. Highly recommended!

Good food and service 👌 Definitely recommended

Lovely little pub, great food, good ales, excellent table service would defo recommend

Really lovely old pub, good food friendly service. Would recommend.

One of our favourite haunts. Spot on every time xxx

Great food, quick service, nice staff, good portions food is piping hot really good. thanks very much

Loved everything about this meal. Warm, friendly pub with great food and lovely staff. They were also very baby friendly which is always a bonus as its stressful taking little ones anywhere.

We called here for lunch on a bitterly cold November afternoon. Although the radiators were warm, the place was very cold and I ate my entire lunch with my coat on. There was a gas stove next to our table, but this was only turned on when my husband commented on how cold it was. The fireplace was full of old cobwebs. We both had the chicken liver pate, which was very nice, and was served with two rounds of proper toast - not the awful crostini you get at a lot of places. My husband had the steak pie, which he said he enjoyed. I had the fillet steak stroganoff with chips, both of which were lacking in taste. The service was not great. I ordered a drink before I ordered the food. However, the waiting on staff did not return to our table to offer me another one. There were no check backs at all during the course of our meal. We gave up waiting to pay the bill, and so paid on the way out. Again, we were not asked if we had enjoyed our food. Quite disappointed. Probably will not return.

Well worth a visit, super friendly staff, lovely food and drinks range secluded beer garden

Lovely meal, hope to come back for the christmas menu. Manchester light lager good price good taste.

Very popular that popular they turned away a booking for 7 for Sunday lunch, unbelievable.

If you want a more expensive than you can do yourself at home, but same quality this is the place for you. Aldi bread for sandwiches and cheap cuts of meat. I agree with other posts the frozen chips come from a basics range in the supermarket. Food was like I can cook at home. Better to save and go elsewhere, plenty to choose from in this area.

Great atmosphere, service food and beer. Met up with family for lunch, not having booked. Tables were moved around to accommodate us. Service was really excellent, food really tasty (my daughter loved the curried parsnip soup) and they accommodated our young children. Pub of the year for good reason

Nice lees pub known for food. Yes Daniel Craig did live here but unfortunately no memorabilia 😂

Great food and atmosphere, can't go wrong 😀

'A proper pub' Nestled in a small quaint parish half way up frodsham hill, you'll find the a proper local pub. With a welcoming warm atmosphere, staff to hand to look after you during your visit wether it's a few pints of the J.W. Lees selection of ale & some well known brands, or a hearty pub meal using fresh ingredients. The Ring O Bells is a credit to Frodsham with all the hard work Phil, Adele, family & team have put into this remarkable pub.

Popped in for a drink. Lovely little pub, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and a lovely beer garden.

Great food, cosy atmosphere, attentive staff. Great little traditional pub.

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch the service was impeccable as was the roast.

Amazing little pub in Frodsham. Best meal I had in long time. Menu is different from other pubs the prices are reasonable. First time we been and booked for Sunday roast and Xmas. A must go if near Frodsham. The place we will be going to from now on. Staff are great made you feel welcome too

3 of us had a great meals we all had different and enjoyed every thing. The service was very good and friendly. The atmosphere was cosy and comfortable . We will go again.

Do not recommend at all, ordered fish/cod in thyme with beetroot and Parmesan fries! Fish tiny bland and completely tasteless….. at this point we should have complained and left! The fries had never see Parmesan, cheapest of frozen fries and a gelatinous blob of cheese on top, which was more akin to an old piece of cheddar. I could go on, but would be labouring the point as my complaint fell on deaf ears. Will never go there again poor in every respect … staff looked bored to death, with zero customer service …… Don’t waste your money or your time!

Perfect food, very accommodating. Turned up without booking and had to wait about 30 mins that's all. Wonderful little village pub.

What a great pub, met some friends for lunch, food was excellent, real ale too. Dog friendly

Good food and very good portions lovely place to eat 😋

A lovely traditional public house. Everyone warmly welcomed including dogs. A Gem in Frodsham.

I have always recommended this pub for the food in the past as every meal in the previous 3 years was always very good. Been about 12 months since we went last time, however this time I was not overly happy about it. I ordered the Cheese and Onion Pie with chips and veg. First of all found it a little strange it came with gravy but hey ho. The chips were distinctly average without any taste, wouldn't be surprised if they were frozen chips and were soft and not cooked properly, I remember them previously being well cooked hand cut chips which were crispy on the outside. The Cheese pie seemed too perfect to be hand made either and again was full of cheese with little taste and no onion could be found at all. Veg comprised of 4 slices of carrot and 2 small pieces of broccoli. Based on this experience it is not at the same standard as it was for my previous visits. Hope the owners read these reviews so they can rectify things that do go wrong from time to time.

Excellent food, excellent service. Friendly staff and atmosphere. The Steak and Ale pie was delicious and all the meals are served with the best vegetables and sauces off the Menu. A desirable local Friendly pub. Enjoy

Lovely evening at this pub. Glad we booked as very busy on a mid week evening. Staff very attentive and friendly even though they were extremely busy and service was excellent. Homemade food, freshly cooked and very tasty. Liver and onions was a delight as was hubbie's steak and ale pie with homemade chips. Nice glass of wine and a Manchester Beer to accompany. Shall certainly visit again when in the area. Thanks x

Recent visit was ok, although service great, food not so. The fish cakes , tasted bland and easily I could have bought from a supermarket cheaper , that’s how I felt .. apologies.. and the dessert no taste at all, although it looked great. So not in a great rush to eat there again..maybe just alcohol next time !

Excellent food, good atmosphere, friendly staff and decent value. Would definitely go back.

Great little pub, dog friendly, lovely beer garden. Friendly staff, great food.

Beautiful relaxed evening and great food

The food was great, big portions and lots of choice for vegetarians. We sold have booked but they found us a table anyway.

Great place lovely food, very helpful welcoming staff and brilliant atmosphere

Lovely traditional pub, staff friendly, and helpful. Even Bobby dog got top quality service with a bowl of water brought to him and a jar of treats to nibble. He felt very special indeed. We all did. Thank you

Great night out. Attentive staff, first-class food, and welcoming ambiance. The Chef came out of the kitchen to ensure customers were happy with the food. Very busy for a Monday night but that is the result of its increasing popularity. Fully recommended but you will need to book ahead!

Massively under impressed. Cannot understand all of the glowing reviews. For the price paid the food was pretty poor. A very salty bacon chop, a burger and children’s nuggets = £40+ … no desserts, no coffees and just half a beer, a lemonade and a fruit shoot!! Yeouch!! And our grandson couldn’t even eat the battered nuggets!! (Why not bread them??) The menu is sparse and the prices are high for what is very, very ordinary pub food. Cannot recommend it and would never go back. I do appreciate that everywhere is trying to simply survive, but the pricing structure of most eating houses has simply gotten silly and is driving custom to stay at home … ie: £12-15 for a humble burger is simply ridiculous by any standard. £8-10 for a baked potato…really?? If I am to have my pocket picked then I want to feel good about the food I’ve eaten and not leave thoroughly disappointed.

Called in for lunch on the strength of its 4.5 rating … could not have been more disappointed - and won’t ever go back. Totally fed up with paying through the nose for extremely average pub food. £40+ for a burger, a (very salty!) bacon chop and some children’s nuggets - and that’s without any dessert - even for the child!! - half a beer, a lemonade and no coffees!!! Ouch!!! To me, that is unbelievably poor value for money for the quality of food received. These days, I rarely write reviews, but when an establishment is garlanded with praise and gets a 4.5 rating - which encourages me to try it - then I think the truth as I experienced it needs to be told … and it really isn’t worth your time, or money.

They really know their beer in this place. Well-informed and friendly bar and waiting staff. Cosy interior with a good atmosphere. Usually frequented by Frodsham locals but the friendly welcoming sort.

Lovely food and great service, beer was very good too, waitress very efficient would recommend

Part of a party of 17, but still good service, with nice food & a lovely atmosphere.

I want to thank the Ring O'Bells for hosting myself and six friends on Tuesday. The beer was in great condition, food was good and the staff looked after us very well Stewart

Catered brilliantly for a group of 11

Such a great pub. Everything you would want for a family tea out. Everyone (all 11 of us )'scoffed down the beautifully cooked food served by lovely waitresses and drunk our chosen drinks . The staff gave good service- unobtrusive yet very attentive to our needs. We shall certainly return to this impressive establishment. TU very much!

Excellent leek and ham hock crumble and lovely sweets. Partner had a proper pie! steak and onion. Chips very scrumptious, veg very fresh. Waiting on staff can't do enough for you and are extremely welcoming. In a backwater but well worth booking a table as it is packed. Despite that the service is very quick. A good chef obviously. We have put this Inn on our todo list every time we are near Frodsham. I liked their ham crumble so much I'm now cooking it at home! We had a lovely hour and a half here - I could have quite happily carried on relaxing in their beer garden all afternoon. I eat out a lot and I can categorically declare this is the best pub I've visited in a long while. Many thanks 2023 visit- still excellent. Can recommend the fillet steak stroganoff!

I was recommended this pub by locals and I'm so glad we decided to eat here. We ordered steak and ale pie and gammon with eggs. Neither of us had complaints, the food was delicious. As per other reviews, this place was not bursting with people so we had a relaxing time with a pint and meal. The staff are lovely and helpful.

Excellent food with wonderful friendly staff

Just had a delicious meal made all the more special by the lovely Jasmine who looked after us very well with her great personality and lovely smile. We will be back !

Been here multiple times with friends, for a birthday meal, and just the other night for dinner. always impresses, pub and staff are inviting and welcoming with a brilliant atmosphere. the food selection is brilliant and i’ve yet to order anything that was not lovely. staff are so accommodating and really feels like a little village pub. absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a high quality affordable meal.

As always very busy but still excellent food and service. Can't fault it

Very friendly.and helpful warm and inviting too 😊

Wonderful home cooked food, great beers and really friendly staff, what more could you ask for?

Amazing food & very fast. We found the quality the best in the area. The service we received was nothing but perfect & a pleasure

Good beer selection, food not so great.

Booked a table for early dinner. Very welcoming host. The food was very poor and stands out as probably one of the worst meals I have ever paid for. I ordered the butternut curry with chips and rice, there was a stroganoff and a steak...

This charming little pub dating back to the 17th century was good for lunch

We've been here a few times now we can honestly say it's one of the best. Everything about this little pub is fantastic. The beers,food and the service are 1st class Robert is a credit to this place and makes you feel really welcome. We have and will continue to recommend.

Lovely outdoor space on a sunny day, friendly staff, tasty traditional pub food with some nice vegetarian options and some really nice ales. Fantastic place to stop by if you're in the area or passing through.

Another great meal at The Ring O Bells 👍

Food and service both excellent as usual. Didn’t sample a beer this time as I was driving. Wednesday evening and very busy. Make sure you book a table if you want to try the food at this great pub.

Beef strogonoff with home cut / made chips. Absolutely 1st class. Returned for a second treat and will be back again.

Food is always superb and Adele and the team are always very welcoming and friendly. Best pub in Frodsham.

We love eating here as the staff are always friendly & helpful. There’s a good selection of real ales too. There’s a fabulous choice o the menu & always a ‘Specials’ menu. The food is home cooked & absolutely delicious! There’s something for everyone here.

We’ve been here quite a few times. We love to eat here when we come over from Lincoln to have lunch with family. The fact they are also dog friendly is extremely helpful too. They have real ales, great friendly staff, & delicious food! They...

Four adults ate here at Sunday lunchtime - different Sunday roasts plus one fish and chips, followed by a variety of desserts. It was all absolutely perfect. The pub is lovely and historical, the staff are kind and welcoming, including to our dog who sat...

I went to this pub with friends after many years. It still has that lovely atmosphere & the food was delicious.

Had a lovely meal, very friendly staff, would highly recommend it but advisable to book,as it is very popular.

Lovely old English pub ,good beer and good food

Lovely time here. We stay at a caravan park down the road but have family not too far away. We tried this place for our Friday evening meal. There was 6 of us eating. The guy who took our orders was excellent. He knew his...

Lovely quiet little pub. Great atmosphere, nice cider too.

Great steak cooked by chef Alan Hunt! Attentive staff. Nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend!!!

The Ring O'Bells Frodsham is the most welcoming place for a meal or just to have a drink. The staff are friendly and take and make time for you

Very average food. Not much different from a supermarket microwave meal. Left disappointed. Staff not interested in feedback .

Really liked it in here, made to feel very welcome, very homey, nice food, good value and really good service 😀

Visited tonight, we had been bought a spa night at the Best Western and we were looking for somewhere to eat Ring O Bells is close by so we took a chance and booked a table. Refreshing change the food was perfect... Portions perfect cooked...
