Ring O'Bells in Wirral

I will definitely be back. Staff welcoming and friendly, I would like to thank the waitress who served our table of 10 tonight for my daughters 3rd birthday 🎂, she went above and beyond interacting with all 4 children who where there, and making sure we had enough drinks. She is an asset to your team. Thank you so much for the lovely food. Sorry I didn't get her name but we were booked for half 6. Food was outstanding.

Ordered Steak and Mushroom Pie as a Main Course and it arrived very overcooked. It was replaced and arrived after my wife had finished her meal. Manager said ‘no-one else had complained’ completely missing the point that we were!! May have expected more fulsome apology and possibly a drink on the house whilst waiting for my replacement meal. Eventually reduced the bill by 25% but only after we had complained more. Poor customer service. Also noticed that dogs are allowed to sit on the seats in the bar area. Will not eat (or sit) there again.

The revamp is lovely, welcome home Ring O' Bells.

Very pleasant country pub. Excellent, attentive staff. I wish I could have stayed longer. I felt so relaxed. Had a lovely day in West Kirby. Went for a lovely walk in Ashton Park after. I will be back in December. Vern, Isle of Man.

Great grub, grasstro pub. Even better if... the good kids outdoor adventure area was 5x as big.

What a great place. Dog friendly. Ours sat under the table all evening. Food was great. Great decor!

It was perfect. Food superb. Very nice staff. Good beers. Nice atmosphere. Good parking and lovely setting too.

First time visit, and certainly won't be the last! Superb food in beautiful surroundings, and first class service 10/10!

Food was so-so, not terrible but not great either. Bill for main, dessert and a drink for two came to £70, which seemed a bit steep for what it was… but then I’m probably just out of touch. For comparison, this Summer had an amazing meal for four people, including two desserts, sides and drinks and it came to less than £70. Only difference? The cheaper, better meal was in Prague.

When anyone says British food has got no flavour, this is the place to bring them to prove them wrong. They lose one star because I saw someone bring a dog in there.

Nice building but rude staff. Wouldn’t go back

Amazing experience for my party of 14 in the Private Lounge upstairs, made possible by the brilliant manager and his team. Great food and atmosphere.

Beautiful place, beautiful food

The food is such a let down, I’ve been here twice and I just find it so flavourless and totally over priced for what it is. It’s just crap. Atmosphere, location and grounds are so nice though. Will just stick to drinks!

Only went for morning coffee but very nice coffee, warm and welcoming atmosphere

A really nice real ale selection.

Lovely meal gravy not quite warm enough but the lamb pie was really nice.

Great beer and service great Beer garden and dog friendly

Great beer garden, lovely place to relax with a pint

One star for food and service because both were absent. Not exactly a pub atmosphere but an English-style country house.

First visit sice it re-opened food & service was first class, will be returning 😊😊😊

Excellent quality of food. Fully recommend.

Went last night. Absolute nightmare. Kids running around everywhere,crying Babies around the bar area, that should be in bed. Never again

First visit since it was a pub. Visited early doors with a group of friends. A lot of money spent on the decor and looking good. Fairly busy with families eating. Ordered drinks. Good wine selection. However first beer a short measure, so asked for a top up, no problem. Then two more beers ordered, both cloudy. Had to be returned and the barrel changed. They clearly didn't flush the pipes, so replacement beers cloudy too. Eventually got it right. Steff were apologetic. With this chain the beer selection is normally good and well served clearly some teething problems here.

I grew up in west kirby for the first 24 years of my life so visited this pub regularly in that time, since moving away in 2009 it died a slow death and remained dormant for years. I’m overjoyed that on this visit “home” it’s been renovated to a very high standard and the Ring O’ Bells heart beats proudly once more. Great atmosphere, with plenty of people enjoying themselves, the food was really good and the selected of ales, wines and sprits was vast. Our children ran around the beer garden (as I had done decades before) while we enjoyed a crisp pint (as my parents had done decades before). I really admire the current owners for their efforts and vision for this place and I hope it’s a huge success for years to come. In short, pop in and I’d be surprised if you’re disappointed. Without question on my next visit to my childhood home I’ll be here again.

Great place in a beautiful setting. High quality food at reasonable prices and the staff really take care of you.

We only had a beer but will go back for a meal so time.

Had a lovely lunch here today in the sunshine, great friendly service, superb food and good atmosphere, so quiet you would think you were in the middle of the country - definitely going again and would 100% recommend xx

Absolutely fabulous night. So pleased we were able to get a table. Delicious food, lovely helpful staff team and a really warm and friendly atmosphere.

Lovely historic public house, good food, good service. Will be back.

Had the best fish and chips ever you get what you pay for staff great also over 20 years since I had been here they have done a great job in renovation enjoyed it immensely

Lovely place and food.nice staff the place is a lot bigger than u think. Plenty of parking too

Will be going back again and again and again 😀

Lovely pub, great staff and nice garden

Simply the best place for dinner. The layout and decor is palatial. Prices are not expensive, especially given the high quality of food served. There were 8 at our table, so a decent sampling. The next day four of us went back for lunch! Oh, and the wine and beer is first rate - they even let you taste a beer or two to help you make your mind up.

I found this haven by chance on my way to the ferry terminal as I wanted have a quality meal before boarding. Ring O’ Bells did not disappoint. Beautiful establishment with the loveliest of staff…..and the food, wow, fresh, hot, delicious and plentiful. I combined a starter of chicken kebab skewers with chunky chips and had fantastic apple crumble & custard for desert. My new favourite restaurant to go too.

Great pub stopped for beers and food for my Grandaughters birthday. It was a busy Saturday afternoon despite this the service was very good both at the bar and the speed in which the food arrived. Sat in the beer garden, which was very pleasant

Beautiful place, lovely outdoor seating area and amazing food

Delightful lunch in the sunny garden Food was good quality and service was good and friendly. Had the fish batch with chunky chips and curry sauce Will return

Gorgeous on a sunny day only thing id say is we tried 2 charge electric car up and both chargers in carpark and we were told wont be on in near future ??,, that being said beautiful place stunning food. Friendly staff outside in sun is great .. loved it here .

My meal of cod loin was delicious, but sadly my husband's meal of roast beef was paltry. The beef was tough, the yorkshire pudding was overdone and there were onky 2 small roast potatoes and very little beg. Three of our friends had the quiche and couldn't believe it was classed as a main meal. The quiche was thin with just a few pea shoots, that was it!! The place was done out beautifully with lotd of seating outside as well as in, however, the portions are very small for the price.

Had Sunday lunch with friends, we booked a table and were given 1.5 hours to sit. I had delicious beef. Someone had the pork and other friend had the chicken and we were all very satisfied after the meal. Coffee and pudding were had as well. We sat in a nice and bright part of the restaurant. We stayed nearly 2 hours and had to vacate the table due to another booking. Booking recommended as it's busy specially on Sundays.

Gorgeous food and atmosphere. Helpful attentive staff.

First time I have been since refurbishing , very impressed, great staff,lovely setting and interesting food with a nice twist on classics, thanks 👍

Third time I have visited this year so far. Very nice food and great refurbishment of an old building. I recommend that you book as they get really busy even on a Tuesday night. Choice of Real Ales wine plus other drinks including Paulaner Lager from Munich Germany on draught.

I was very pleased with the menu choices which is refreshing. We were a party of three and all ordered a different meal, we were all very pleased with our selection. The ambience was exactly as we would have chosen. The updated decor kept to the traditions of a gentleman's home in former times. I loved it. We will visit again.

First time going last Saturday with three hungry children and friend. The first thing I noticed were how expensive the meals were for pub standards but we ordered. £80 spent for 2 small adult and 3 children’s meals (2 pints of larger and 3 soft drinks) seemed high not least because they were all bland but also because the portion sizes were mean. Never again.

Visited for lunch. The pub has been refurbished brilliantly and looks lovely inside. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was well presented, tasted great and well priced. There is a good selection of beer. The beer garden is large and very pleasant to sit in. Good car park with a couple of electric charge points. There is also a small children's play area at the bottom of the garden. Will definitely be back.

Outstanding..... the manager that was on tonight was excellent..... 10 out of 10

Recent birthday visit with family. Food was good, service slow, looked under staffed, we had to return a bottle of chardonnay, £26.50 a bottle, expected better quality, tasted aweful. Got a pinot grigio, same price not much better. So not impressed with the cheap tasting wine! Both had flat bottoms, could tell it was cheap wine. We felt we couldnt return the 2nd bottle ! Gardens and location lovely. .

We had my husbands 70th yesterday.10 of us.everyone enjoyed their starter mains and dessert.everything was perfect.sorry didn't get waitress name.lady with blonde hair in a short pony tail.she is a credit to your company.she was outstanding.

Delicious starters nibbles and light bites to share between 4 at lunch time. Efficient, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Nice pub, nice staff, but peak West Kirby.

A first visit for me since the revamp but it certainly will not be the last! Staff courteous and helpful, and the best smoked haddock risotto I've ever tasted!

Fantastic refurbishment to a really high standard that is sympathetic to the existing old building and the surrounding areas Meals and beers were also fantastic along with all the very helpful and cheerful staff

This place has been recently renovated but is in desperate need of more staff... loads of people queuing at the bar for food and drinks.

Had a better burger in Wetherspoons. £17 for an overdone dry burger is thievery. Good service but come on, step the food up.

Very tasty food I ordered there the best steak I have ever eaten. Traditional English sausages with greavy sauce are also worth recommending.

Beautiful pub and grounds. Perfect destination pub.

Beautiful pub and beer garden which had been well re-furbished throughout. Had heard great things regarding the food and service but was left bitterly disappointed. Starters and mains served together, seemed to be a massive inconvenience for 3 individuals to order their own respective food at a table outside - had 4 comments to this nature from staff though after working in this industry it's pretty standard to me, food was mixed. Starter (soda bread and butter) was lovely, however fish and chips was basic - fish ok but chips severely undercooked and inedible. At just short of £18 a plate, you expect better. Dessert (chocolate tart) had a beautiful wild cherry sorbet but ultimately the burnt tart case left a bitter smoky taste like burnt pizza in the mouth. Desserts messed up three times in a row. Has the potential to be a great pub, but the ordering systems and quality of food need significant improvement for the price, especially compared to local competitors like the Red Fox etc.

A perfect place to enjoy atmosphere and food to enjoy with a good drink

Excellent all round. Party of 8 - fabulous food and service and great value for money for a birthday celebration.

We thought we would give this pub a try with it recently reopening. Very overpriced for what we had, I chose the grilled cod loin with a curry, potato sauce with cauliflower bhaji not very flavoursome, very bland and couldn't detect a curry flavour also it was not a cod loin but a small cod fillet! Well cooked but not worth the money. My husband had the sirloin and wasn't impressed with quality for £28.50, daughter had Sea Bass cooked well but lacking flavour as well. Our outing was for my husband's birthday but have had better food elsewhere for less money. Shame as its a lovely pub been refurbished excellently & gardens well groomed. They need to look at pricing as most who were dining were only having nibbles not main meals

Great pub with a marvellous selection of real ale

Ate the mains before I could take a picture, massive amount of beef on my roast , the other 2 mains enjoyed by my family, although my wife said she wouldn’t order the duck salad again.. she didn’t enjoy the leaf elements. Both deserts were delicious.. wish they didn’t put the calories on them 🤦‍♂️ maybe it should just say a lot 🤔 great job on the refurbishment of this very old pub , the outdoor seating is fantastic..

The only criticism I have is they could do with having a few more disabled spaces. Other than that the service was excellent and the food even better 😋

Wow factor for the look n feel of the place. Loved the ipa...appaloosa an Great fish n chips.

Was able to get a table very easily. Service was prompt, and food arrived at the table quickly, all freshly cooked.

It's such a lovely atmosphere. Food and staff great.

It's nice place , beautiful inside , lots of sitting space , inside bar area or dinning area or you have outside with a small play area for children. Dogs are allowed inside which is lovely you don't see that now anymore, it was very busy , the menu is good but if you just want a lite bite for a small price ,it's quite expensive, but if you don't mind definitely give it a go . It was clean , friendly staff , service was fantastic.

I was really impressed. If i could give more stars for the food, I would. The staff are so friendly. We will definitely come back x

Love the place the ambience was really nice and the food was great

Excellent night in the Ring O Bells. Great food and the live band were superb. I've never seen everyone in the Ring O Bells up dancing before. Only about 4 sitting down. Great fun. Update April 2024: My first visit since the refurbishment and extension. What a fabulous job they've done. Food and service were superb. I'd recommend a visit to anyone. Great outdoor area, and they've kept it dog friendly.

Very small.choice of menu I ended up with 2 starters my Husbands plate was very small Very over priced waited over 10mins for a drink after we ordered.Waited even longer for the bill we asked for DEFINITELY WONT BE RETURNED

Went in again Easter Monday, it was very busy but excellent as usual. We'll worth a visit five stars all round

Sadly, on this occasion, we came away, disappointed after one of the Group ordering the lamp pie turned out to be not much lamb, but plenty of pie. When bringing this up with the staff there seemed to be very little interest and no apology, with the other meals ordered there was no issue. Just seems a shame after the pub investing so much money and reinventing itself after being close for four years, sadly won’t be visiting there again

Didn't have just stopped for a drink. It's a very nice popular pub, a very good choice of real ales and very good service.

We had a Sunday roast. The meal was superb, the service very good and the staff were pleasant and friendly.

Beautiful refurbished, a must visit.

Fabulous visit, excellent food and service exceptional. Would highly recommend

Beautiful fresh and fully refurbished to a very high standard, not a bad menu enough choice, and prices reasonable, we well be back again...

The pub has been transformed, been goin for about 25yrs ,its always been a great place ,but now it's amazing, can't wait to go in the summer ,and the staff faultless.

Bar staff not very welcoming ,service was not great ,,would I come again ,probably not

Food is top notch. Great service too! Another stunning gastro pub for the Wirral!

We had a wonderful lunch here on Mother's Day. New extension is beautifully done. We were a big party,but nothing was to much trouble for the staff, our waiter was very attentive and accommodating

Refurbished to a really high standard....looking forward to the Summer & being outside!

Lovely refurbishment. Fantastic service and food excellent. Great choice on the menu to suit all diets. Staff were really friendly. Highly recommend

Sadly in spite of the extensive (and no doubt expensive) refurbishment the standard of service was appalling. We left after sitting at the table for 25 minutes without anyone coming to take an order or offering the wine list or drinks. The restaurant was nowhere near full. The other Stang group pubs in the area are excellent, the Ring o'Bells needs to seriously improve if it is going to survive. (7th March 2024)

Took my mother on a trip back 'home', as she had heard good things since the reopening. Car Park full (run up to xmas to be expected), so we were doubtful we'd get a table despite it being 5 pm on a Monday. It was chocker inside, too, so even less positive outlook. It took a few mins to get someone's attention to ask about a table, which is my only minor gripe. However, from this point on, all things went really well. We were seated down the stairs on a large table lovely presented with xmas crackers, etc. Good looking menu, nicely laid out with gluten-free options clearly noted. Service at the table was great, the food also, and despite it being very busy the food came really quickly. Some carol singing in the background, too, made for a wonderful atmosphere. Definitely will be back(been back and same great service and food). Well done, guys, especially for opening at such a crazy hectic time of the year. You have a great offering. 👏

Clearly having teething problems. Too many staff but they're all too "busy" to serve the queue of customers at the bar. Someone in front of me in the queue asked a bartender who was putting glasses away if they were serving, and they answered "no" quite bluntly. The venue don't seem interested in people popping in for a drink, only those coming for a meal. They've forgotten what the place used to be. It's very expensive for what is available. Limited range of beers and all the generic spirits you can get cheaper elsewhere. Decor is ok, but not faithful to the history of the building. There is clearly a lot for the team to learn. If they do, it has the potential to be excellent but right now they need to get the basics sorted out.

Disabled parking taken by un badged cars. There is a long walk from the car park to the entrance. Nicely presented renovation but nothing special. Staff friendly and attentive. Recognised the manager previously at the " Jug'n'Bottle Heswall, a nice guy. Was difficult for two of our party of six negotiating their way from the entrance past the bar to our table in the new extension.(I don't think they would have managed on their scooters or wheelchair. Food was overpriced in comparison to elsewhere (atleast a1/3rd more expensive for similar fayre). Considering we paid around +£60 per couple without including our drinks bill. I should also explain this was our first visit since it opened and admit it was very busy and become the new venue to be.

Hi Just thought I would leave a little feed back from my recent visit 21.02.24 My first visit since the refurb. Place does look good. I came with my mum who has Parkinson’s and is in a wheel chair. Double doors a little bit of an issue. But nothing I’m not used to. Kitchen clearly had an issue as whole building smelt of fish.. asked for a table for two. Was taken to the new part of the building all the windows were open to let out smell. After getting mum out of the chair into the seat . It was far too cold to sit there. Asked if we could move. Back into the wheelchair to move by the fire. Only to be told, once seated it’s not table service.. I just think a little common sense when dealing with customers with special needs should be taken into account. Doesn’t make for an enjoyable visit

This newly refurbished pub is how to do a pub. Top quality food, nice staff

Staff mostly friendly and roast dinner was great. Drinks are a little pricey though. Update: went again and although swift service, we raised an issue regarding a drink ordered and received a less than helpful reply. A member of my party asked for a non-alcoholic cider and received one that was alcoholic. We informed someone and were told, "it's an easy mistake to make" and didn't attempt to rectify it or just a simple sorry. What if the person was driving and hadn't noticed?

Had drinks only.dog friendly .warm cosy atmosphere.meals are a bit on the pricey side,though.

Excellent food and service was good considering how busy it was. Only negative was the alcohol free drink for my daughter turned out to be alcoholic. Staff informed but uninterested.

Too many barking dogs in the bar and dining areas. Staff seem to not mind the noise. Food good, a little on the dear side compared to other establishments.

Great Decor, The Pub has had a fantastic make over! Lots of seating areas inside and outside. Play area to be opened soon. Good quality food and drink. Friendly staff.

Newly refurbished. Nice atmosphere.

Our first visit since the Ring O'Bellls reopened, and we had a great meal in this wonderfully refurbished restaurant. The food, service, and atmosphere were brilliant.
