Ring O'Bells Public House in Sedgemoor

We often head out into Somerset from our home in Axbridge, to visit Gardens open for charity, and try to find somewhere nice for lunch or beer in a pub garden, but, as Vegans and non drinking, often end up disappointed. We usually head for somewhere that sounds local and lovely but have to leave because the only Vegan choice on the menu isn't on on,or they don't have any of that fancy alcohol free nonsense. Thank heavens then for a genuine country pub, that still has that magical feel of still being a proper pub but serving lovely homestyle food. We felt very welcome and were amazed to see a menu with Vegan options given equal space on the menu, even on a Sunday! They have three main meals, a choice of three desserts on Sunday and Guinness and Becks blue zero on the bar. We had a Mediterranean veg tart, with roast potatoes, lots of lovely veg and gravy too! For Dessert we had warm chocolate brownie with chocolate sauce and ice cream, just to make it a special occasion! The staff were wonderful, welcoming, genuinely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended, Vegan or not!

Went with group if 12 for Sunday lunch. Very tasty homemade meal. Lots of fresh veg. Choice of 4 meats. All piping hot, served quickly. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend

Pub was amazing all the staff were extremely friendly especially the owners and the food was amazing as well highly recommend this pub

Excellent home cooking style meals with lovely wood burner giving it the homely atmosphere. Staff always jovial and efficient good menu choice presented nicely. Highly recommended.

Owners were really friendly and welcoming. Great selection of home cooked foods. Would thoroughly recommend the pies, and proper fluffy pub chips too. Everyone else’s meal choices also looked excellent. Delicious selection of puddings too. Proper country pub with good old fashioned hospitality- will be returning and would recommend a visit

Take away last minute roast. I had rang them during covid and was going to tey and didn't but as iv not been well all weekend and with five kids I thought I'd run down road about 15 kins and grab a take away roast. Pork beef and veg. Unfortunately this time I wasn't that impressed. The people r lovely but the gravy spilt into my bag all over the plastic plates covered in foil, the veg was cold even though I put it all in a heat bag the meat was OK but for £63 for 6 dinners I'm sorry to say I won't be using again. The people seem really nice and the place looks lovely but I don't think I would've enjoyed eating it. I dont normally do bad reviews and it's not bad but alot can be changed like foil trays which keep it hotter, and not takeaway tubs like kebabs use for veg. And maybe for take away prices should be cheaper due to this fact. But I ate it not one child ate it and said mummy I prefer your roasts. Lol.

Food was very average. Barman served kids drink that were a year past best before. Very expensive considering the quality of the service and food.

Visited few weeks on return from holiday lovely hosts if you like good ol fashioned banter. Excellant food choice regular visitors never lets you down pleasant atmosphere

A great place to visit. Clive made me feel so welcome. It was like I'd walked into my local pub of many years. And the food cooked by Trish; an incredibly tasty vegan curry. If I'm ever in the area I would not hesitate to stop here again.

4 of us had a really good evening on Wednesday evening (16th Feb). Friendly welcome, great service, real ale in fine condition and excellent meal. Highly recommended. Taking my wife for a meal tomorrow.

We enjoyed a first class meal this evening, in a friendly Covid-secure old-style village pub. A welcoming atmosphere, comfortable eating area and good variety on the menu.

We had our first takeaway meal from here this evening and it was excellent. Great home-cooked pies with chips peas and gravy in very generous portions, and all piping hot. A lockdown delight, highly recommended!

Nice old village pub. Sunday lunch.....feast for a king I had a really nice beef dinner with all the trimmings and my wife had the chicken. This was followed by apple and blackberry pie and banoffee pie. All really nice. Good home cooking Best if you book .definitely worth a visit

Staying in the village for the weekend this was the only pub we could walk to. It did not disappoint. Friendly service both times we visited. The food we had (burger and pie) was superb and very good value. Lovely garden which is not very well publicised. Would go back if in the area just for the pie alone.

We are visitors to the area but wish we lived closer. Lovely pub, good food and really friendly landlord and staff. Highly recommend for good old fashioned home cooking.

Great food and atmosphere, very friendly welcome from owners a must place to visit, would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

We went for a Sunday lunch and were very pleased - a lovely experience. The Sunday carvery is plated with meat and some vegetables and then a huge amount of vegetables were brought to our table. We were a table of 5 and unfortunately we had to leave some of the vegetables as there were so many. We were naughty and had a pudding! We were all very pleased with the pud and I had a wonderful meringue.We were looked after so well - friendly and efficient. We've told a number of friends about the Ring O'Bells and they've dined there. They have all been very pleased with their experience.

Arranged to come here on Friday for my brothers 60th birthday treat. Not too local for us but being December and 24 of us it was difficult to find an available venue in Taunton. As it happens we had made an excellent choice. Not all of us had starters but they came out promptly. The main course soon followed and was delicious. Being a large group plus a pub with other dining guests, the service was fantastic. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone wanting good quality home cooked food. Thank you so much Trish and your team. We will definitely come back :-)

My third visit to this venue in the last couple of months, and again, I and my friends were not disappointed. The food is very good quality and excellence value for money. The staff are all very friendly, and we will definitely be back as we intend to make this a regular meeting place having tried several others in the vicinity. This is definitely the 'one' for us. Thanks Ring O' Bells.

We were staying nearby and decided to eat at the Ring O'bells tonight. On arrival the barman was building up a lovely log fire, so cosy. It's a proper pub, with real ales and ciders very nice. It has a full menu along with a specials board. My daughter had the Cajun chicken she loved it, hubby had the Chicken in Stilton sauce, he said it was lovely. I had the beef stew and dumplings off the special board so tasty and the beef melt in your mouth. Both daughter and I had the treacle tart and custard. Yummy. And huge portion. Hubby had the lemon meringue ice cream cake and helped me finish mine? All in all a very enjoyable meal, at very reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. One small thing the side of the pub towards the car park is very dark, although there is a light when you get to the car park. I am disabled and found it difficult to see the pot holes, luckily hubby had keyring torch and daughter used her phone to light my way . As I said small thing on an otherwise great evening.

Proper village pub serving a huge menu of value for money food and drink Ever changing real ales. very friendly welcome.5 stars

Homely traditional pub with huge menu. I don't normally like chips but these were great, thick and fluffy! Pork stir fry was nice and hot on a sizzler. Side of peas was nice but plain. Pint of Otter well kept

My partner and I visited a couple of weeks ago purely by chance, as he does a pick up from here on his school run to Crispin School, but never tried it before. Certainly not disappointed, we both had roast beef which came with the usual roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and six different vegetables. It was amazing, we were both full up but could not resist having a dessert, which was priced at just a mere £2 if you had the roast. My Banoffi pie was outstanding, whilst my partner enjoyed his blackberry and apple pie with custard. All beautifully presented. Could not fault it.

Good village pub. Tssty unsophisticated meals. Good welcome and service. Open only for dinner. Seemed busy each time we passed.

Lovely pub which we visit whenever we are in the area staying with friends. Lovely atmosphere and a large menu reasonably priced. Pub grub but home cooked. Friendly staff.

Not an easy place to find but we'll worth the effort. Hidden away in the little village of Moorlinch and reached by country road from the A39. A typical old country pub where everyone including dogs are made very welcome. The menu was very extensive and the food delicious and plenty of it all at reasonable prices. Thoroughly recommend it.

Took my sister out for dinner, with husband and all food cooked to perfection. My sister and I had steak and my husband had the dirty burger. Thanks Trish. Only Sorry that there was no room left for dessert

We ate here three times during our New Year break while staying locally. We were a party of eight & they were always able to accommodate us. The staff were friendly & welcoming. The food was very good with plenty of specials on offer & also excellent value for money.

Beautiful homely pub dog friendly and beautiful oak burning on the open fire.

Great place to eat with are large family of 10. Good English pub grub and very food prices. Will be coming back again soon

We are fairly local and decided to come for dinner, we were lucky to get in, several people turned away as fully booked. I had the best steak I've had in ages and my husband had a burger,fiery, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We did not try the desserts so cannot comment on those. The staff really friendly. Just hotter plates would be my only negative comment.

Staying local to this pub we thought we would try out their Sunday Lunch .... It was superb I have to say , excellent service, Roast Beef was perfect, would definitely return to try out something else on their menu ..... An old pub with a lot of charm , highly recommended.

Stopped in here for lunch on our way home after a day out in Street. Food was excellent as usual, a good selection of local real ales, the staff were attentive and friendly and the landlord and his wife were warm and welcoming. Will definitely be back.

Serving Real Ale, Real Cider and Real home cooked food by really helpful & cheerful staff with real genuine smiles.

I don’t normally post these comments but after visiting a country pub in the village of Moorlinch which a friend of mine invited me to I feel I should share my experience after arriving and getting settled at the table the noise that was coming from the public bar was very off putting and put you on edge thinking that it might spill over into the restaurant side, the food when it turned up was not to a good standard and myself and my friend would not be coming again as it was not a comfortable place to be in

Lovely food, friendly staff, good prices. Provided great info on local walks on our first visit. Visited several times during our stay and had an enjoyable experience each time. Would recommend to others staying in the area.

Visited this pub for a bite to eat after being recommended it by Jackie and Glyn at The Hideout campsite, we were not disappointed. Friendly, cosy village pub serving hearty homemade food just 5 minutes drive from the campsite.

Great home cooked food. always cooked perfectly. Wonderful hosts and staff great. Treated us as locals, even the locals were great very very friendly. Wish there were more places like this around the country.

Literally the best Sunday roast I’ve had at a pub in years. Beef that was still pink, homemade Yorkshire’s and roast potatoes, plenty of veg that had decent flavour, proper gravy and pork crackling that was perfect.

We stayed in Moorlinch over the Easter weekend, what a great discovery this place was, nice people, nice beer and lovely food, we ate here 3 times and couldn't fault any of the meals, Sunday roast spuds were amazing!!!

Stopped here briefly, but found the landlord very polite and personable, went out of his way to be very accommodating. My friend ate here and stated that it was very nice food. I highly recommend this pub and will stop here again if near the area!

We live locally just 1 village away from this pub and used to go most weekends when I was a kid; we had some great nights here.

We have been staying just down the road and been eating here for the last 3 nights, we were made very welcome and also got to take the dog, which is always a bonus. The food was amazing, all home made and lovely sized portions. The chicken fillets were massive and the pies were full of meat and fillings, at a good price to. The staff all made us very welcome, wish more pubs were this friendly

Friendly staff, lovely home cooked food. Plenty of choice and very good value. We would definitely recommend The Ring O'Bells.

On our way back from Cornwall came off M5 to find somewhere for lunch and saw sign on main road directing us to the village. What a great pub. Such value and fantastic food. Kept us going for the remaining 150 miles. Only wanted a snack but ended up with the best Sunday roast in years. ......and so friendly

We visited on recommendation from The Hideout in Stawell, we were not disappointed with the meals we had, the food was lovely and good value for money. We also loved that we could take our Black Labrador in with us as the pub is dog...

Great food, very well priced, this reminded me of what pubs were before we all got a bit carried away with posh nosh...that's not to say this place didn't do great food...because it did! Good ale too.

We moved to an adjoining village recently, loving to eat out (especially on a Sundays ) we've tried all the pubs local to us and by far this is our favourite. The food which is home cooked is excellent, the menu has something for everyone....

Actually look for another ROBells, but found this one. Turned out to be a "real gem".

We are visitors from London and went there with friends from Glastonbury (thank you to the boys from table 7). We had the Sunday lunch which was very nice, tasty and with a choice of several meats with extra veg, the puddings are great value when ordered with Sunday lunch. Good tasting food, pleasant ambience, a nice pub.

We attended the pub recently and it's fair to say the food was poor and the local ale just as bad. It looks a great local pub but it was let down on all aspects.Not sure if the chef was not on duty but the food was well below any standard you would expect and the prices did not reflect this.

I had the prawns to start and cod and chips to follow. My starter was £4.95 and consisted of defrosted shrimps or tiny prawns with bread and butter. Tasteless, watery and a very poor start to my evening. Unfortunately the cod and chips did nothing to improve the experience. The friends I dined with all agreed that the pub did not live up to it's previous reviews. What a shame as we are all local.

4 great meals and a 'little one' for a 'little one'. Very welcoming Host, made to feel at home. A really enjoyable stay, would highly recommend this establishment.

We came to this pub as it's quiet and out of the way, we had a great meal and some superb English ale. Just what we wanted. It was quiet, warm & welcoming especially on a cold & wet summer evening. They have special evenings I.e Tuesday was Curry night (look at their well documented website for more info) Their choice of real ales was limited to 2 that evening, but excellent all the same, tried both, Brilliant.Meals were well served and pipping hot upon arrival.

Tuesday evening. Not too crowded. Ordered food and it came in the time you would expect freshly cooked food to arrive. Between us we had for starters; creamy garlic mushrooms, Thai fish cakes and garlic mushrooms. All delicious. Our mains were chicken, scampi and for me the veggie lasagne. They were all delicious and were very generous portions. The staff were lovely and the service was great. The 'Proper Job' ale was, well, the proper job! All in all a very enjoyable visit.

What a joy to find a proper pub with friendly staff, a witty landlord, a great pint and good helpings of home-made pie. We were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed our first visit so much we nipped back the next evening for a few more beers, darts and pool. Didn't get to try the skittle alley but we may well be back! Group weekend away at the Big Oak Barn round the corner.

Good value food in pleasant surroundings. Highly recommend the meat pies. Landlords very friendly and very attentive.

This was our 2nd visit this time with friends, it certainly won't be our last. We received a very friendly welcome from the landlord and landlady. One of our party is a Coeliac, she had no trouble ordering food. We were advised that with a little notice the range on offer especially for puddings could be extended. Between us we had 2 chicken tikka masala, 1 beef madras and I had a burger in a home made bread roll with chips, fantastically crunchy triple cooked chips. The bread roll was still slightly warm ftom the oven and was delicious, the burger was very juicy. All the curries were thoroughly enjoyed. Puddings chosen and thoroughly enjoyed were lemon meringue ice cream cake, raspberry pavlova and apple crumble. The prices are very reasonable here. For proper home cooked food it's a real treat.

We had a lovely evening with a group of 10 friends. This was our second visit to this great country pub (The first being for Sunday lunch). We were looked after in a friendly, relaxed manner, the jovial landlord adding to the experience. As per our first visit the food, beer (a couple of tasty real ales) and service was excellent. This is a hidden gem deep in the Somerset countryside well worth visiting.

I am not sure exactly when we visited but had to put something it to post this. When we visited for a meal. We also found they did entertainment. They had Morris dancers there they were very good. And very popular. It was a nice surprise. The food was good the staff were polite. The pub was clean. We will definitely come back.

Recently spent a lovely fortnight in a holiday lodge in the village of Moorlinch. The Ring O'Bells was just down the lane and so popped in some lunchtimes for food and a drink. The food was all home made and good quality. In particular we enjoyed the Sunday roast dinners, the steak in ale pie and the fish and wonderful chips. Many thanks to Clive and Trish the Landlord and Landlady for being so friendly and efficient. We can recommend this Pub. Steve & Jo King.

I came with the Morris Men last night to dance and have a sing song afterwards. The pub was excellent and the staff were very friendly indeed! We all enjoyed the time even if there weren't many patrons around (though that might be because of our singing!)The Guinness machine is... interesting and something I've not seen before, just a shame it was a little too warm for my liking, oh well, can't have it all...

Very friendly village pub and walking distance from The Hideout Campsite. My husband and I stopped for a couple of drinks and enjoyed some friendly banter with the Landlord and his staff.

I ate here with 12 friends, food was lovely, particularly the chips! Beautiful location and there's a nice foot path walk that you can take before/after your meal which leads you to the pub.

We had a really lovely Sunday lunch in this traditional country pub in the heart of Moorlinch. The food and the service were both fantastic.We will definitely be going back, in the table is already booked. :)

What a top bunch of people!! We visited on a Saturday night as part of a hen weekend and I was a little dubious initially about 14 half cut hens visiting the local pub. Despite there being some tables of locals, we were welcomed with open arms. Service was really quick and despite forgetting to pre-warn the guys we had a vegan in our party, food came out really quickly. Food portions were HUGE but all freshly made and all 14 of us loved them. Clive and Trish, Lee and Will were just superstars all night, really accommodating and let us get on with being silly! Top things about The Ring O'Bells: Staff were amazing Service was quick Food was delicious Henry the puppy Surprise skittle alleyWorst things about the Ring O'Bells: Home time :(Thanks to all the staff at the Ring O'Bells for making our Saturday night what it was! We'll most definitely be visiting again if we're in your beautiful part of the world!

We were warmly welcomed by the landlord on arrival, and told where our table was. We waited about 15 minutes for someone to bring a menu, before finding one ourselves. We then waited another 15 minutes, before asking one of the team if they would take out order! There were other diners, but it wasn't full, we were in an area on our own, but between the kitchen and the other customers, so we weren't hidden. The starters were not up to much, never had garlic buttered prawns served cold before. However the fillet steak meal was delicious and great value at £18.95 including a drink. No one came to check that everything was alright during the evening, and although our main course was good, sadly it was the rest that makes this an average review.

Really good welcome and the fire smelt and looked great. Home made most things including bread. Quite a few BIG signs saying what you should NOT DO - but it is a lovely proper family run pub

We stopped off in the middle of a pleasant walk - we had phoned ahead to ensure there would be food served any they were extremely accommodating. They were happy to hang on a little bit to serve some hungry walkers a pint and lunch, were child and dog friendly too.We had a choice of the full hot and cold food menu at a lunchtime on a Saturday which was excellent, and all the food proved to be excellent.I personally ended up with a slice of Beef&Ale Pie and it was one of the best Pie's I think I have ever had, I can't recommend trying a Pie enough.They have also started doing tasty pizza's which are also available for takeaway.All this and Thatcher's cider to choose from, add it to your stop off next time

We recently visited this local in the village of Moorlinch near Bridgewater while on holiday in nearby Othery. The pub is a really old, quaint and quirky place. We arrived as the pub opened for drinks at 5pm, food is normally from 6pm, however after a couple of games of pool the landlord took our food order and his wife proceeded to start cooking early. The food was holt, flavoursome and great value. The menu is not extensive but mixed with the specials board there was something for everyone. Will definitely visit again if in the area.

Had a great Saturday night returned for a great Sunday lunch, warm welcoming staff eager to please made you feel at home

We visited this pub on a girls weekend away. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. It was good value, no nonsense pub food. I can highly recommend the chilli co carne. The food was good except for the steak.

we eat out for sunday lunch most weekends this was the first time here and it was good value and good food

This was our first visit to this pub but not our last. Traditional English country pub atmosphere, welcoming staff and good service. Can't comment on the beers as we were all on soft drinks but our meals(4 different choices) were all very good. There was plenty of choice and the prices represented very good value for money. A little off the beaten track but well worth the effort of finding it.

This is a no frills local pub with good quality food cooked well. As a free house the beers are excellent and there is a buzzing local atmosphere. Staff are friendly and so are the locals.

Sunday lunch like mummy use to make. Staff very friendly and nothing to much trouble. Love gravy so a gravy boat appeared. Family love Yorkshire puddings so all meals came with Y.P. even though 2 meals not on Sunday roast menu. Wish it was closer to Street so didn't need to drive... try it

I arrived for lunch with a friend who uses an electric wheel chair and asked the staff if they could put a table in the shade which would be suitable. Without hesitation, the staff rallied round and within a short time, things had been moved, tables changed around and an indoor table carried to a shady part of the garden so my friend could enjoy the excellent lunch we were later served.I am very grateful for the help and kindness we received and will definitely be back.
