Ring O’ Bells in Cheshire West and Chester

Best place for quality food in the area. It isn’t the cheapest but we always get good service and the menu is often changing. They do good value 241 deals on weeknights which makes it much more affordable. Also great with kids as their extensive menu always includes fresh pizza - we have fussy eaters and never have a problem. Oh and it’s gorgeous all times of year due to the lovely setting - garden in summer and fire in winter.

Comfortable with good service and menu there’s little to complain about in this pleasant pub. Staff are nice and we had a good meal at a fair price with friends at lunch

Love coming here for a Sunday dinner! Staff are welcoming, food is delicious! We really enjoy the beef dinner and the cauliflower cheese is amazing!

A busy pub car park was full, but wouldn't have known it from inside the pub. Acknowledged by a member of staff as we walked in & shown to our table. Menu explained by ( I think her name was Charlotte). Drinks & food appeared & was delicious, nothing to fault at all & Charlotte was a great server, it's nice to go somewhere & recieve great service, thank you.

Went with my friend had pizza Wednesday is 2 for 1 great staff very polite, pizzas were amazing and puddings were lovely thanks so much

Not been here for years. Gorgeous place. Such a transformation. Food fabulous. Worth a visit

Fabulous food, friendly service. Enjoyed

Delicious Wellington Veggie roast!! Staff very friendly. Will definitely be again soon and dog friendly 🐶

Great food & Great service but very pricey for pint coke £9, hence 4 star rating. Why are soft drinks soooo expensive in here?

Fantastic find! Went on 2 for 1 pizza night and despite being super busy the staff were friendly and attentive a clearly enjoying their jobs. Pizzas arrived hot and were delicious. The pub has a great atmosphere. We both had chocolate brownie for dessert and I would highly recommend this. My only disappointment is that it's too far from home so I can't go regularly!

Nice looking place and friendly service. But food is just fine, average pub food, and not cheap!

Great local pub with excellent home cooked food. Tuesday was Tapas night which was also very good value.

Only popped in for a drink. Nice table layout and food looked great (didn't eat on this occasion). 3 casks ales on for those who enjoy real ale.

An excellent pub with excellent service

34 family members went here for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious the service was great, friendly knowledgeable staff, nothing was to much trouble. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit & can't wait to go back.

Very loud in the day , took mum here for her bday and the women next to use were smashed and so loud. The staff didn't care. The food wasn't that great to for the price. I.dont know how you do undercooked chips.and soggy pizza at that price

Pleasant village pub, decent beer.

Wednesday 2-4-1 Pizza Scam. Pizzas come with barely any toppings & were incredibly tasteless. Don’t do the pizza deal!! Service is slow, have seen snails move faster. Wouldn’t recommend.

Really nice experience on a Sunday evening. Sunday menu had plenty of choice. Service was good though a little slow with drinks but it was busy. Food was lovely. Would highly recommend.

Lovely village pub with good atmosphere, nice eating area in the conservatory. Food was delicious, we had the Sunday Roast (which is difficult to get right in my opinion!) and my daughter had a pizza. Staff were very attentive and friendly despite clearly being very busy. Drinks were made and served quickly. Would highly recommend.

Lovely ambience. Service was friendly and efficient. Food is tasty and quite large portions. Sunday roast (turkey and beef) was delicious and very filling. Outside seating is nice and they have some interesting covered wooden booths which look like fun on a warmer day. With that said they did have heaters so maybe even on cooler days it could be fun.

Lovely pub in a nice little village.. the food is amazing especially the pizzas. The staff are very friendly. Met a lovely young lady called Holly who was extremely helpful an helped plan the rest of the day out in chester. Outside seating. Parking. Wheelchair access. Good decor. Very clean. Welcomes families.

Disappointed by Lack of Inclusivity for Dietary Needs We've enjoyed visiting Ring of Bells in the past for their great service, good food, and excellent midweek offers. This week, we called ahead about their 2-for-1 pizza deal, hoping they could accommodate my husband's recent Coeliac diagnosis. While we understand that not all restaurants can provide gluten-free pizzas, we were disappointed they couldn't include any gluten-free dishes in the deal. It feels frustrating that people with dietary restrictions are made to pay full price and the offers are exclusive to those without such conditions. We also noticed there's no gluten-free menu available online, and the available options aren't clearly listed. Despite a smaller disclaimer about potential separation issues in the kitchen, we felt overlooked when we reached out to a staff member to see what could be done, as advised! We don't usually post reviews of this tone, as we're typically the first to rave about a restaurant. However, it's disheartening that we felt excluded. We simply hope that Ring of Bells can become more inclusive in the future, allowing everyone (no matter the dietary) to enjoy their offers and meals.

late lunch with friends. Busy pub, lovely food with some unusual items.. Buddha Bowl was gorgeous! Great atmosphere, suits all ages. Recommended!

In the wonderful little village of Christleton

Excellent, great food, staff and nice play area for the kids

Food was what you'd expect. Could do with more salad with the burgers. Pizzas were good and friendly atmosphere for the kids.

Great village pub with excellent food!

Went in an afternoon, walked in to c if it was dog friendly. No one behind bar as i could c,but two women sat in bar ,no one spoke, i then turned and asked if they knew ,and they said yes ,so went and got the dog ,then when i came back one of the woman got up to serve me .felt as if i was being A bother .so had 1 and left .

Managed to get a last minute table for Saturday lunch. Food was lovely, well cooked. Staff very friendly. The only downside was the noise levels. No soft furnishings and open plan meant we could barely talk to each other. Such a shame.

Great place. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. Didn't eat just had a drink

Came here for supper from canal boat holiday. Great food great service, not sure about the football…. England v Netherlands …… not got to half time yet !?!?!

Been here 3 or 4 times now and the food and service is always spot on. Highly recommend the calamari and fish and chips - one of the best curry sauces I’ve had!

Friendly staff and good food and wine

Nice birthday party with playground for kids. Love it! Nice cocktails as well.

If you want a perfect Sunday lunch, you definitely should try this place!

Wednesday 2 4 1 Pizza And charming staff

Really nice food and place. Staff really nice. All of them. 😊

A good 5 minute walk from the canal, a good selection of beers but a little bit posh for my liking

Excellent food, service and surroundings. Cant fault it. Will definitely be going again.

Great place for food with friends. Good beer and a bubbly atmosphere. As you might expect it was busy on a Friday evening, but service was really good.

Had the 2 for 1 Burgers 🍔 on a Friday night. Very nice chicken burger Hot sauce was hot 🔥 great service and an all round lovely place.

Party of 7 - other food was ok but the fish and chips were terrible - soggy batter was dripping in oil - had to mop the plate with a napkin because the peas were swimming in oil - if it wasn’t a birthday celebration we would have sent them back - disappointed !

Christleton is a lovely little village that's about an hour's walk up the canal from Chester. Been here quite a few times for a meal and never been disappointed. It's a well presented pub. The dining room has huge windows giving it a very bright interior. There's also a nice beer garden behind the dining room. The food and service has always been excellent. Recommend the Chilli beef salad.

Great 241 special value Friday burgers

Very nice place! Definitely worth a visit. The garden looked nice and has a playground at the back but unfortunately it was wet when we visited. Food was beautiful and service prompt.

I’ve been a few times and really like the food and they have some very nice cocktails as well.

Good food and great service. Loads of parking and the option to sit either inside or outside (under cover option available).

Nice pub with good food. Sad that they've got rid of the half price Tuesdays deal. I'd bring my elderly Dad out there, but now, given the distance, I'll go somewhere nearer his place.

My favourite place to go for any occasion. Been lots with family, friends or just as a couple but they were so fab at looking after our table of 14 this weekend that I couldn't not leave a review. 14 meals that all came out perfect and together. Fabulous food, fabulous service, can't think of a single bad word to say. Keep doing what you're doing😊

Daughter had beef roast. Very generous portions. I had gammon and chips. Husband had pork. Piping hot food.

Popped into the venue for a quick Sunday Roast late afternoon. Service , decor and food all excellent however I thought two small slices of roast beef was a little poor .

Had a great quiz night was a lovely atmosphere and a great time was had by all.

First class on every level. Pork Sunday roast was next level. Highly recommended.

Lovely place in a lovely village Staff excellent: polite, welcoming and keen to please. Food very very good and prices reasonable. Even car parking is easy

Got a table next to a mobile office wasn't great plus it was freezing in there , try somewhere new next

Delicious food and excellent service today at The Ring of Bells. Chicken, chorizo and chilli pie of the day fabulous 👏👏👏👏

We popped in on our way to Rowton Hall for a smallish bite to eat. It was very busy, but they managed to squeeze two more in🤗. The service was quick, the food was good. On our way home the following afternoon we returned and had a late lunch. Not quite so busy & we found a good table. I had the tomato & herb soup with focaccia bread, which was lovely. Hot soup, the way I like it. Well done Ring O'Bells.👏👍😊

Great value and tasty food made even better on 2-4-1 pizza night. Sweets were very good, especially the white chocolate, orange, and ginger cheesecake

I have just been for a meal with my two Grandchildren, they had a good choice of food. The staff were very friendly, I found it good value for money.

Place was able to squeeze us in after a cancellation near by. The food was amazing and SO quick! 10/10

Wasn't what I expected lost its village pub mind you haven't been there for years want go back in a hurry

Stopped by for Sunday lunch and so glad we did. I had pork, my wife had turkey, and we shared a Yorkshire pud. We just had room for the Bakewell tart desert. It was as good as any pub lunch we've had anywhere. Quality ingredients all cooked to perfection, and good size portions. Proper pub atmosphere, and very attentive staff. Not cheap, but we'll worth it.

We’ve been to this pub lots of times over the past 40 years and I’m afraid our recent visit will be our last. We don’t mind paying for quality but we definitely do take exception when food is served that is below par. Sorry but we won’t be going back.

Lovely Village pub. Just a bit over priced. Better options available at this price point.

Ate here a few years ago — tremendous food. Unfortunately, it's gone downhill since. Ordered the Cheeseburger and the Chickenburger — both were low quality with minimal salad. The bun was soggy and cheap. My burger had a cheese slice on it. Chips were advertised as ‘skin on’ chips, but what arrived was nothing more than the equivalent of McCain’s fries. Very disappointing for what used to be a lovely dining experience.

I took seven family members for Christmas lunch yesterday. Brilliant from start to finish, efficient service delivered in a relaxing friendly and interested fashion. Food was great, the seasonal menu was really well done. Reasonable prices. Can’t tel you how pleased we were. Staff are top notch.

Good meal which was served by a very waitress who was very attentive.

Lovely atmosphere, dog friendly, and lovely staff. What more can you ask for a village pub. Didn't have food this time, but it is always good when we do

Good pub food, prompt service and friendly staff. Dog friendly

First time visiting with friends who recommended it! Fabulous place, first class service, beautiful food! Will definitely be going back and thoroughly recommend!

Lovely pub. Food excellent. Very enjoyable visit.

What a little gem of a pub! Great pub grub with a lovely atmosphere. We were lucky enough to stumble in on 50% off all food Tuesday! Result! And the guest beers were delicious 😋

Absolutely first class…. The staff are friendly and attentive, with nothing too much trouble. Then we come to the food…..fabulous. Can’t recommend the Sunday Lunch highly enough. Meat and vegetables all cooked just right, and plenty of both. Definitely worth a visit if around Chester

Previously visited this pub the last time we were in Chester and wanted to return. Not disappointed. We had just the two courses which were very filling and tasty. We will certainly return. Good food and well presented.

Went for the 50% off food day. You literally get half the food…. Small portion of chips served in those pathetic mesh silver holders, which hold about 6 chips! Come on guys… chips are dirt cheap! You could fill half the plate with them & have happy/full customers.

Very good service to a large family group.

Great pub with excellent beers good service and good food - set in a beautiful village it is well worth a visit - yesterday we visited for a 30th Birthday celebration - the service was outstanding and a particular "shout out" and thanks to William for his attention and kindness - his smile added tremendous value to the day - the food was [as always] excellent too

First time visit based on a friend's recommendation. It was superb, lovely pub with lots of character. Food reasonably priced, and every starter and main was fantastic. Restaurant quality food at the price of pub grub. The service was incredible, all the staff were so welcoming and pleasant. I think it's the best pub food that we have ever eaten. Nothing was too much trouble . We look very this place. Tremendous. Thank you ! Nick B.

Food is absolutely fantastic! Was looking for nice quality pub food and this was definitely that! The food was the perfect match of pub grub but restaurant quality. Went on a Tuesday so was 50% off food. 2 people starter, main and 2 alcoholic drinks each was £50! You definitely have to book as the place was packed. The servers were very friendly and the food came in a time that it was obviously freshly cooked but was also came quickly enough you wasn’t sat around. Would definitely go again!

The best roast around!!! Me and the hubby are a huge roast dinner fans and we could not find any decent one since Joseph Benjamin closed in Chester, but oh my goodness! Yesterday we went to have a go at Ring’o’Bells oen. What a treat! Everything was cooked to PERFECTION! And the sticky toffee pudding! All to die for! Well fair to say… SEE YOU NEXT SUNDAY!

Out 4 family meal, daughters 38th birthday, pleasant +nice

Superb village pub that is great all year round! Keep an eye out for some top offers: Weds:- Pizzas (BOGOF) Friday:- Burgers (BOGOF) Sunday:- top notch Sunday roast My kids love the Friday burger night… especially after a lovely walk around the village!

Great place to go, good food and excellent service. Well worth a visit!

This is one of my favourites to go for Sunday lunch to in Cheshire. The vegan Sunday dinner is faultless. There's usually several vegan options, I've enjoyed them all except for the burger, which was very dry and cheap... It was on the 241 burgers day so I don't know if they use a different burger when the offer is on but I can't believe that was their regular burger as my friends meat burger was similar, the only time I've had disappointing food here. The venue is lovely, with a rustic feel, there's a great kids play park outside. You can have a nice leisurely cycle along the canal and arrive almost at the ring o bells door without too much road cycling, so a great day out for kids in Chester. Dogs are welcome outside, I'm not sure about indoors. There's a reasonably sized car park and I've never had trouble getting a space.

Always amazing. Friendly staff, good drinks, good food. Always busy that’s what you get in a good pub. We will definitely be back and will recommend to everyone

First time at this pub/resurant well impressed four of us. service 👍 staff 👍 food 👍 could not fault it and best of all there was 50%off the food on a Tuesday 😁 what more could you ask for would highly recommend this place 10out of ten⭐⭐

Great atmosphere and service. Food was great for the price and desert was amazing.

Nice pub and good Sunday Lunch but spoiled by extremely annoying music that you can't escape from. The music is piped to every room and interferes with conversation, or if you are looking for a quiet lunch, becomes very intrusive. I don't understand why this pub assumes everyone (a) likes their choice of music, and (b) want to listen to mysic in the first place , rather than have a quiet lunch with a friend or partner.

Great food and service. Enjoyed the Sunday roast followed by the banoffee pot!

Well organised, happy staff, good service, varied menu, my partner and I both had pizzas, both were fabulous, we had to decline desserts! Inside and outside dining areas and you were not all squeezed in like some places. We did book, so glad we did as it was busy. Good sized car park.

Lovely food, highly recommended, staff waiting on tables, where very courteous, loved it, hope to visit again

Great food, nice drinks. Good prices and offers.

Popped in for a drink stayed for 2, nice place liked the wooden shelters.

Great food and service but atmosphere was marred by a plague of wasps inside and outside. Generally good though

My wife and I were recommended to visit the Ring O'Bells for a meal. The roast dinners were really excellent. Loads of scrummy veg. I had ham, my wife had turkey. My wife, who requires gluten free food, had calamari to start. I had minestrone soup, with extra parmesan cheese. Really tasty. Service was excellent and friendly. Plenty of car parking spaces. The premises were clean and tidy too. Prices were reasonable. No complaints at all, except they should really sell the superb Wrexham lager. A wonderful, and local beer!

One of my favourite places to eat in a country village atmosphere, definitely a lot more than than pub grub, but if that's what you want you can sit in the pub section, in contrast they have a very nice section with a country restaurant vibe for special occasions or just to make your meal more of a treat, always a good menu that changes through the seasons. always a good Sunday dinner, even better at Christmas, ample parking The kids will love eating outside in the wigwam big enough for a large family, or other outside tables so much choice, and always a good experience, As you can probably tell it's a regular haunt for our family and friends....

Basic pub food. Fish and Chips good. Katsu veg curry not great, full of potatoes.

We came in a group and the staff were very organised, helpful and pleasant nothing was too much trouble. The food we had was very tasty and good value for money. We cannot fault the customer service we received in a very pleasant relaxed atmosphere thank you!

Food was ok staff could do with a bit of training on how to smile. It was nothing special. Could have done with a bit more Cole slaw
