Ring O' Bells Inn in Calderdale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Not the best selection of drinks, and the inside is quite run down, all the chairs are different from each other and look quite old, same with the paintwork/decorations. Staff was nice though and dogs were allowed in which although we didn't have ours with us, was always nice to see!

Great place, sat outside a few times

Stopped for a pint before going to gig at the Piece Hall, super cheap round and a very friendly and polite staff member provided excellent service and brought our drinks to us outside.

Lovely beer garden . Great place for a drink before going to the Piece Hall.

This is a decent traditional multi spaced pub which, although slightly out of town is still only a four minute walk north of Halifax train station. We utilised it as the first stop and meeting place for the Pubs Galore crawl and it was reassuring busy when we rucked up early Friday lunchtime, or at least due to the fantastic sunny weather, the outside patio area to the front of the pub was. Internally it’s a front bar room with two additional rooms to the right, one carpeted and one with a flagstone floor. Six hand pumps on the bar with one unused and TT Landlord, Saltaire Blonde, Acorn Brewery Barnsley Bitter and Titanic Brewery Plum Porter available on the others. The fifth was badged with with TT Landlord Dark but had a small ‘coming soon sign’ in front of it, so it was unclear if it was on or not and as I only had eyes for the Plum Porter. Some impressive serving behind the jump to handle the queue we had generated which included the barmaid nipping down to the cellar to change the TT Landlord barrel mid pint for the round in front of us. All in all I thought this was a very good pub and an ideal start or end to a crawl when visiting Halifax by train.

Avoid thus pub. An initially Friendly girl working when I went, but avoid it, toilets were disgusting , the place wasn't clean or had its floors mopped. Only 3 ales on when it had 6 pumps. The beer was off,when I pointed this out the girl said nothing, then as I said I was leaving she said I'll change the barrel without even tasting it to see if it was off !! Therefore she probably knew it was already off !! Avoid

The food was good the staff really helpful and friendly. It has a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere and the view is so wonderful.

Great pub well kept beers, food is good as well good manu to choose from

Great, cosy pub. Very friendly, good beer, big beer garden. Great if your train is delayed!

Had a couple of pints before my train home. The barman was lovely and the place was clean and warm. The toilets were a bit grotty but typical of an old building.

It's not a restaurant hence the empty rating for food because there is none. For the other aspects it gets 5 so effortlessly that it makes the star system almost redundant. The array of well kept ales is not quite as expansive as The Royal Oak but it makes little difference. The pub has a beautiful light which drifts or streams in depending on the weather; and light, to me, can make or break a pub. But here it's lovely, whether it's packed or just a couple of old boys enjoying a peaceful pint. Very friendly and efficient service, always welcoming and warm which is how a pub should be.

This place is disgraceful. Forces staff to work on zero hours contracts and then discards them with no explanation. Do they not realise people have kids to feed and rent to pay. Disgusting way to treat people. Don't encourage this by giving them your hard earned money.

Went before going to the Minster. Happy hour was on ... what a bargain!!!

Absolutely fantastic stay it was a perfect location and a 2 min walk from peace hall …. The pub is very old with a lot of history it’s very interesting to hear . It has a great selection on beers and drinks and amazing pork pies . The rooms are tastefully decorated with very comfy beds and spacious rooms . There is 4 rooms in the pub with one shared huge bathroom with a shower and bath ….it was never a problem having a shared bathroom it seemed to work between all us guest and never a problem . Also had a huge kitchen to make tea / coffee cook breakfast …. All utensils were available to use . The two girls on shift while we stayed were Kira I think and Ellena who were such a delight and very helpful . I would highly recommend staying here it felt home from home . Great prices per night to . We can’t wait to come back .

Local pub friendly staff great folk go in only downside the pub advertising food served but this is untrue and the toilets need modernising

Good place to let your hair down

Lovely place, rooms recently redecorated. Very clean. GREAT shower!!! The staff are lovely and laid back. It's a very welcoming environment. It feels like you're staying at a friend's house.

Great little pub. Aptly named as it's next door to the Minster. As I walked in, I heard "bells were ringing out" from Fairytale of New York, while bells at the Minster were in full peal, a triple bell experience! These 2 beers were available for anyone liking their beer dark and sweet. Other beers included Staropramen. No food on offer except crisps etc.

Good location and a well maintained restaurant. However the girl at the bar is incredibly rude and vile. Almost spoiled our Sunday afternoon experience. Otherwise the place has good ambience and food. The other serving staff seemed nice.

Stayed here not long ago. Cracking little gaff! Lovely people here so friendly and the pork pies were delicious 😋

Phoned before I booked to check i could have a quiet room, not overlooking a road. Told yes, most rooms at the back Arrived and given room at the front, over looking road and train line which you could clearly hear.. About 7 guys right under my window really loud as seats under my window outside front of pub and one window didnt close. Went to ask about changing the room and also about WiFi. But felt odd as when walking to bar, everyone turns, stops talking, listening in. So just asked for WiFi password for now. Went back to the room. 3 different options for pub WiFi. Not one of them worked. Went back down to ask again and asked my guys at the bar if I was from London as complaining. Steve, the guy managing the place said he had no idea about Internet and couldn't help. Still didnt ask about the room as felt I couldn't right then. When pub closed, I asked to change room. Finally gave me a room at the back. Then said he was closing up and going home. I asked who else was in the building. He said noone except me as noone lives or works on premises over night. I would never have booked if I had known I would be the only person there from pub closing time. I asked who to contact if a problem and he said he didnt know. Then said he would give me his mobile no. 5 mins later I contacted him as still no WiFi and no TV remote. No response. Also I asked him when in new room, where a locked door in my room led too as was really worried someone could enter from the other side. He said he had no idea. No response when I contacted him. I felt completely vulnerable there and just after 11pm I left and found another place. The next day I got a message from him saying "sorry, I went home to bed". - but I had contacted 5 mins after he gave me the key to the new room. And also - gave me a number noone was going to answer even if I really needed to. I dont know about food as didn't eat here.

Pleasant pub next to the Minster. Great outdoor seating area. Beer could be a touch better, hence only four stars, but worth a visit.

Rooms were lovely beds to die for shared bathroom & kitchen . But no complaints deffo would go again in this place

Popped in here for a few drinks before going to the Piece Hall to see Hozier, great atmosphere with the bar playing a selection of Hozier tracks "Nice touch". Staff were friendly and drinks very reasonably priced.

Saturday 8th July 2023 We visited this Halifax real ale pub next to the church 5 minutes walk from the train station This pub has a great choice of real ales and a good discount on real ales for camera members A great unspoilt Edwardian coaching house, and I'd advise people who like real ale to use this Halifax pub

Perhaps the smelliest toilets that I’ve walked past… and unfortunately into 😂 Also it doesn’t seem very well organised, and I’ve been waiting to be served for too long at times, even when I’m one of only two people there 😂

Just had an enjoyable afternoon at this pub, great Timmy Taylors , and , staff was friendly and helpfull . Great place so I will be back

Lovely pub in the shadow of Halifax minster. Friendly and helpful staff with a good range of beers available. Food is served promptly and plentiful.

Really nice pub Great beer garden. Great staff Great beers

The only gripe i have is the toilets werent very clean and there was no paper to dry your hands on after you washed them

I would like to say a big thank you to the staff. I was really impressed with the way we were greeted and served. Today we celebrated a life. The staff were respectful, very patient and helpful. Although they had to deal with a variety of characters it was amazing the level of patience shown. Thank you so much.

Staff friendly and efficient. Felt welcome although only visiting for the day. Burger and fries great value for money.

Good choice of real ales and wonderful staff. Great atmosphere.

It's a real pub experience. Great outdoor seating in summer.

No lemon no ice and don’t know how to make a hot toddy - but hey the staff are friendly enough

Went with a friend for lunch and the food and service were amazing! We had homemade lasagne and chips, proper pub food at really good prices. For the ladies, there is a good selection of gins and wines and for the men, a good selection of lagers and beers etc. It is close to the Piece Hall which is fab for when attending events! 100% recommend 👌

Wonderful pub situated at the bottom of the hill, while entering into Halifax from Beacon Hill or Shibden hill hike. You can also grab delicious food on Sundays, they serve from 12 to 5 PM. We weren't lucky, but it certainly smelled delicious. Great selection of beers on tap, family friendly and dog friendly. Has a great outdoor sitting available. Just a couple hundred meters away from Halifax train station.

Lovely pub, very welcoming. Love the fire and real ales.

Lovely atmosphere and Great service and excellent friendly staff Thank You 😊

Lovely dog friendly pub. Pleasant staff

Food was great and Indya ur doing a great job. X

A really nice real ale boozer, Looked to have a nice food menu too, but unfortunately I wasn't there to try some food Just the Titanic Plum Porter 😋👍🏻

Vile pub. Cold, unwelcoming in need of renovation and full of drunken men with vile language. A great example of a ‘dive’ would never return

Great local, friendly staff and good beer.

A friendly pub that serves food

Good night watching my nephew play

Had a very tasty Roast Pork Sunday lunch. Lovely friendly atmosphere

This pub has plenty attributes to being good, beer, food, location. Under new management.

Very tasty beer & the young girl behind the bar was very helpful on recommending which pubs & places to go to will be back in the future

Nice pub serving Moonshine what more could you ask for

Traditional English pub - warm and friendly.

Great Friendly pub, popped in on Friday evening after attending a concert in Halifax, lovely staff and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Luvly staff, luvly meals !!! 10/10

Went for Sunday roast choice of two meats loads of veg great staff will be going again

Friendly pub with good beers, handy for the station so if you are having a beer tour of Halifax a good place to start or finish, or both.

What a cracking and welcoming pub. We were out for a special occasion and the bar staff couldn't do enough. Hannah was really attentive and bubbly. The young lady serving food (sorry, didn't get her name) was also lovely. 12 of us had a Sunday dinner and every meal was spot on. Hats off to Jo (her gravy is the dogs doo-dahs)

What a great pub , and the live music, brilliant x

Fantastic place for a few pints and the pork pies are amazing 😋

Pleasant Staff. Unfortunately lunchtime has nothing warm to offer just cold pies. Ladies toilets not in use.

good selection of pints and good outdoor area

It's a lovely old fashioned pub with real ales and fresh pork pies on offer. It's by the Minster, Piece Hall, town centre and the station.

Traditional cozy pub, good beer spacious outdoor area Friendly helpful staff, lovely place

Great place. Toilets could be better but other than that, can't fault it

Nice traditional pub with a good selection of real ales. Close to the train station.

Excellent bar, not visited it for year's. Still the same friendly pub. Excellent staff, and good stock of real ales.

Cute little pub, reasonably priced. Awful toilets.

Nice little pub near railway station,2 large rooms decent beers outdoors seating very pleasant, 😍

Nice Barnsley bitter Good price Sadly no snacks

1st call when we got off the Train Good choice of beers Bar maid was happy to see us as we were 1st group in the pub i think that afternoon Great choice of fine ales beers and lagers worthy a visit

Like stepping back in time a lovely old pub with great beer cheers!!

Great little local, great beers and friendly staff, all that's needed is some food, would recommend.

Very friendly pub welcomes visitors with good hospitality

Good dog friendly pub, friendly staff great local would recommend.

This was a quiet, town centre pub with a good selection of beers.

No WiFi. Nice cozy place. Decent beer selection.

Very nice helpful friendly staff very accommodating plenty parking

Amazing pub, amazing staff, the atmosphere in this pub always feels like home. Very welcoming, Inclusive. So much Fun on karaoke nights! Our own gem in Halifax.

Nice pub with good selection of ales. The Barnsley Bitter was very good. No food on the occasion of our visit. Handy for the station, the Piece Hall, and the town centre.

It was a nice old pub good atmosphere and the beer section was fair but we get any food

Food mentioned outside and inside but none available during our lunch time visit

Superb pub, great selection of ales in comfy, friendly atmosphere

Ring O' Bells is a proper pub which oozes its 400 year old legacy. You'll find an equally warm welcome from both bar staff and regular patrons. Nestled on the outskirts of the town with the historic Halifax Minster as a most atmospheric backdrop, The Ring O' Bells is a real ale drinkers paradise with a constant variety of quality, ever changing award winning beers. Lager drinkers can take comfort with the reliable, premium Staropramun on offer. This place is marvellous. What raises it above the bar, for me, however, is the outstanding music playlist which provides a most epic soundtrack for the surroundings (inside the bar and beer garden areas.) I went at lunchtime today with some colleagues from work and Come Together by Primal Scream was just one of the legendary tracks played during my lunchtime pint. If there was ever a pub that deserved support and patronage in Halifax, then The Ring O' Bells is it. Cazart!

Bel pub tradizionale, buona birra staff alla mano

Nice old interior pub. Quiet on my visit but good choice of hand pulled beers. Moonshine exceptional. Definitely worth a visit.

Had to drink my pint quickly as the rest of the group were on halves. Nice selection.

The best pub we visited on a day out, first time in Halifax. A warm welcome, lovely lady serving us,(wed) evening ,+ friendly locals. Very comfy.

Fantastic pub the best in Halifax always will be

Good food friendly and good prices

Well, called in for lunch.. Really lovely bar staff, chatty and helpful.. Was recommended the special.. Lamb roast dinner.. Really lovely, huge portion, well prepared and presented.. Will be returning..

Very nice, good beer, excellent all round.

Excellent pub tucked away behind church. A must visit when visiting Halifax. Highly recommended. Real Ale choice very good.

Busy, with a good choice of ale.

Nice old world pub. Good choice of real ale.

amazing selection of fine Ales, and they even have one of my favourite Czech Pilseners on tap... friendly service, too; I will return for sure! großartige Auswahl an regionalen Starkbieren, zudem gibt es Staropramen vom Fass... freundlicher Service, ich komme definitiv wieder!

Little bit apprehensive of coming here after Eureka for some lunch. Looked a little run down from the outside. Inside was ok, nothing special. The sunday dinner was beautiful, succulent beef, beautiful thick gravy. A great choice of 6 handpull ales, we tried 2 and both perfect pints. Would highly recommend this place for the food and beer Also very reasonably priced.

Called in for a drink after visiting the minster next door. Pleasant place without having any great features.

Good choice of beers at good prices

After a visit to Eureka we called at the Ring O' Bells for a 'wind down'. My son wanted a hot chocolate which despite not being on the menu was fulfilled with squerty cream too. Needless to say he was a happy bunny and the car journey home peaceful. Lovely stuff.

We decided to visit Halifax, a town I had only ever driven passed before, but we were determined to see Hhibden Hall and Piece Hall, amazing what television can do for a place. We were in the Piece Hall when a shopkeeper suggested we try the Ring of Bells pub for lunch, rather that the posh delis they have there, it is a small pub next to the Minster. I had steak and kidney pie and my wife had corned beef pie, both came with chips, pies and gravy and were served by an attractive pleasant blonde, the food was hot and really good.. Don't be put off by the size of the pub the food is excellent.
