Ring O'Bells Thornton in Bradford

Friendly place as was needing food, was recommended somewhere so went for food and return for some drinks,,and was asked if we found recommendation good

Great local old fashioned pub Lovely staff Great selection of beers Wine and so on Nice to see a pub surviving those days One of my favourites

Visited last night, again excellent service and food . Excellent variety on menu and fish and chips brilliant. Deserts enjoyed by rest of party but I was full of lasagne. Surprisingly quiet at 7 Saturday maybe due to Olympics but service was friendly and efficient. Landlord 4.50 per pint.

Great food, tasty and roasting hot, great staff.

Good food, nice place, dog friendly.

Steak night Friday amazing value

A large party of eight served without qualm or quibble. There is a decent selection of American style food but, be warned, the Belly Buster Breakfast is nearly enough to feed three! The side orders looked lovely and the staff were friendly and very helpful.

Not as good as the last time we visited. The staff seemed a bit unsure of what they were doing but our other visits have always been good.

First time but will be returning. Food was excellent and the staff also. Couldn't fault the place at all.

Lunch time on a Thursday. Great to see it busy. Good staff. Good food. Give it a try.

Delightful! Went along for breakfast/brunch with a friend. Easy table booking online, fantastic brunch menu; warm, friendly and efficient service.... and delicious food! What's not to like!! Our server was very warm, attentive and professional. We ordered the bacon maple french toast which was a good size and perfect in every aspect; also the hashroom was wonderful, tasty and beautifully presented! Drinks also delicious. Lovely atmosphere, great food and service - will definitely be back! Thank you!

Helped make my Dad's 87th birthday celebration special. Definitely recommend.

Visited the Brunch club today. The food was really good. The only downside was the service today, which was very slow. It was well over an hour before we got our food. I have been many times before & usually the service is better than this, so I will come again.

Lovely pub, nice staff and homely cozy atmosphere.

First time here. Seems like a great family pub.

The owner rang back after missing our call. Excellent range on the menu, most of which is gluten-free. Great service. Lovely setting even on a cold February evening. Definitely will be back!

We'd not visited The Ring O' Bells for many years, but we made an appointment to have brunch. There were a few groups of people in the pub that added to the atmosphere. The service was friendly, pleasant and efficient. The food was excellent; they certainly don't skimp on the portions. Everything was prepared on site to order and the hash browns were surprisingly large with a garlic twist, for me just a little too much garlic for my taste but it didn't stop me eating them. I would definitely recommend this venue.

We booked Sunday Lunch today and it was thoroughly enjoyable. The food was delicious, the staff all friendly and helpful. The red wine was nice and the atmosphere was so relaxing. The place is clearly well looked after, being spotless. Will definitely be back.

Excellent food and d lovely staff, great scenic location, all food made fresh and delicious, can recommend. Will be back soon.

We haven't had a family get together at The Ring O Bells for a few years but we arranged to have lunch there on Sunday. When I arrived we were greeted very friendly but our on line booking wasn't listed in the reservations book, but we were lucky that they had a free table for us. I really like the new decor and furnishings, especially the rocking horse. Both ot the owners took time out to come up to have a chat to us and Jo was very apologetic and fully explained the mishap with our online booking. Our food order was taken very quickly and we didn't have long wait for our meals to arrive. I ordered the Sunday burger with a side order of roast potatoes. The burger is an unusual concept, but it really works and it was delicious with the meat cooked to perfection. I couldn't eat all of it as it was so filling and I had to share my roast potatoes as I couldn't manage all of them either. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, but none of us could manage a dessert so a few of us just had hot drinks which were really nice. All the staff and the owners were really friendly, warm and attentive and we are planning a return visit in the very near future.

Always a treat to visit. We get a friendly reception and the food is good catering for veggies as well

Jo, Paul and the team are incredible! We had our works Christmas lunch here and they go above and beyond to host and make the experience a great one. The food was delicious, very generous portions and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend for any occasion!

Went for breakfast. The chorizo hash was pretty good but the service was strangely slow, given the low number of customers at that time.

Unfortunately , this place is not suitable for people suffering from Celiac! I had a meal there last night, I opted for the gluten free options,as I'm a Celiac sufferer and I made my preference clear before ordering. Unfortunately, my food has been contaminated and I'm having cramps and had a reaction all over my lips. I just want to make people aware of what happened to me. This is a serious health issue and seems like most places fail when promise to cater for people suffering from food allergies and intolerance.

What a lovely place. Nicely presented, food is amazing, fairly priced and really friendly staff. Will definitely be visiting again 😉

Lovely place fabulous food with generous portions and really attentive lovely staff. Highly recommend a visit

We've been several times now, the staff are 'above and beyond' level, the food is always really good. Lots of gluten free options. Definitely one of our favourite places.

Tried to book with their website for 4 people a week on Saturday at 6.30. Did this 10 days before at about 2pm. At 9pm I received a text saying booking declined. Please try again. That's ridiculous. Can't keep putting in a time and waiting for hours. What is the point of the booking website if it's not live? Have booked an Italian just down the road with a live booking system. Might pop in to the pub afterwards but this has put me off. I have changed my stars to mainly 3 star after reading Jo's reply. It was for a booking in 10 days time which is what I said. I received a blunt text saying declined. I didn't read the email until the following day. In years of using booking systems this is the first time it's not been live which threw me somewhat.

We travelled from Bolton to meet up with some freinds from Yorkshire, they had pre-booked for us to eat at the ring o bells. Our first impression was it had had a really nice atmosphere and very cosy, the lady in charge was really nice and friendly and so was the young lady who served us. We all had different dishes and none of us could find fault...it was absolutely delicious 😋 Thanks again ring o bells for a wonderful meal and wonderful service, would definitely recommend to anyone...can't wait to go back and try something different. Forgot to say it's dog friendly also 😃

My dads favourite place & they are so welcoming to us all. Dog friendly again. They will be seeing a lot of us in December as it’s a big birthday for dad & a Boxing Day treat for dad as well.

Fantastic food ,excellent service, highly recommend ,

Went for a family Sunday lunch . 8 of us in total . Excellent food and service will definitely be back in the new year .

Lovely cosy and welcoming pub, food was lovely, staff attentive and helpful.

We celebrated a baby shower with 18 guests, pre booked meals ,the fries/chips arrived much later than the main course, some ordered the Tea package, very disappointing! No jam or cream with the scones which were tasteless and hard, ginger biscuit was very wet and rich , and tea arrived with cups with a bag, no teaspoons ,milk or sugar, had to request from the waitress ,who clearly didn't have initiative and had to make numerous trips to the kitchen and her parting shot " is that all you need now" !! I'm sorry but that's disgusting service and rude.With a big table of guests who will bring revenue ,the service should have been way better. Sadly none of us will be returning

Staff is really friendly and welcoming. Food very large portions, good quality but over facing. Did check for no allergies

Amazing food with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Went for first time last week the food was amazing and the service was impeccable Definitely will be going again

The service has gone down hill since we last went We waited an hour for starters and another half hour for mains. Staff were just wondering around and we even had to ask for menus. Kids were very hungry and it ruined what should have been a nice family meal.

Good food.friendly staff.not too expensive.all 8 of us full up and happy

Popped in for lunch, the food was really nice and well presented. It has a lovely beer garden round the back and the owners are nice and friendly. We'll definitely be going again.

A fantastic pub with excellent staff, delightful food and a great atmosphere. Thank you Paul, Jo and staff.

This place is my go to place to eat out,food is always 10⭐️ the owners and staff are attentive without crowding,even accommodating the dog with water ,if you want top notch food and service then this should be your go to place ,will be back 👍🏻

Just called for breakfast. Absolutely beautiful food. Great portion size. Great staff and lovely surroundings x

Special Lamb ordered too gristly Ample portions Staff pleasant

Great dining experience at this place. The staff were over attentive if anything. Which is no bad thing. The food was excellent. Being a craft beer fan, I wouldn't mind a slightly wider beer selection. But all in all a great experience.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Will definitely go again if we are in the area.

Great food & service at a decent price. Atmosphere suffered from being empty but for the 3 of us and 1 loan drinker and his dog. What a shame these places are so little used.

Webhad visited fMily and had travelled from New Zealand. My partner is Celiac and I am Gluten Intolerant. The levels that the staff go to ensure the food is prepped without cross contamination is brilliant. The staff were super friendly and the atmosphere was superb. We utilized the restaurant 4 times in 2 weeks. Can't rate it high enough

Food was good staff very friendly. Not expensive.

excellent food made very welcome cosy friendly hotel v good value good varied menu

Lovely venue, great atmosphere. Food was lovely.

Lovely place excellent food .welcoming atmosphere.child friendly would highly recommend

Food was beautiful, we had the Sunday roast and a side of the parmesan fries. It was so lovely! Roasties were so crispy and lovely. Great meat and gravy. The only thing I wouldn say is the portions of the broccoli and cabbage were a little small but other than that perfection. The dessert was also so nice and my partner got a giant slice of the chocolate fudge cake. Great atmosphere and lovely friendly staff. Will be returning!

It was the first time I had been in a long long time and was very pleased with the friendliness from the staff. I had the Sunday roast which I enjoyed there was plenty of meat and fresh vegetables also it is ideal if you want gluten free as they cater for people who are gluten intolerant. I would recommend the Ring O Bells for anyone who wants a good meal

Love place to eat staff very friendly

Very friendly and helpful, a wonderful place and they made us feel very welcome. The landlady and landlord, staff and customers, fabulous pub restaurant, great service with delicious food, huge portions! Great value for money and we will return 👍🏻😊

Went here for lunch with my wife and kid, lovely food, generous portions, warm welcoming people, great value 5/5

The Food was really tasty and at a decent price.all food made fresh onsite.also there is a good vegetarian menu.the couple who run this pub are a credit to the pub/food trade,made two adults and a young child feel very welcome.will definitely be going back again.well done Ring O'bells your doing it rite

Our family celebrated the life of a much loved family member. We had a buffet tea. It was delicious with generous servings. Joanne and Paul made us so welcome and showed care and thoughtfulness towards our family and friends at our sad time. Nothing was too much. Thank you to the great team at the Ring of Bells. Many Kind regards Michael and family.

Fantastic food, the absolutely nicest hosts and waitress. Highly recommend. Popped in all the way from Rossendale and will definitely be going back

Staff are very friendly, food is amazing accompanied by a lovely pint of Landord

I enquired to see if they did a vegan option before coming and they say they do but I was offered only vegetarian options. When I asked if they could do vegan, I only had the option to have the vegetarian but without the non vegan product. I opted for the welsh rarebit. It came as a couple of slices of toast floating on a pool of "cheese" sauce with a few peas scattered on the top. When they asked me if I was satisfied with my meal, I had to say I had expected the accompanying fritata that was on the menu but was told that because fritata are made with eggs they couldn't do that. They had obviously not heard of vegan fritata made with chickpea flour etc. Anyway, sufice it to say I will not be returning and I would advise anyone vegan to avoid too.

Excellent locally sourced food. Great service from owners and staff. My first choice in this area. Colleen

Beautiful food, really nicely decorated. Definitely my new go to place 🥰

All meals were fabulous, very tasty and filling. Atmosphere was nice and chilled and staff were attentive and very pleasant throughout our whole evening. Top notch!!!

Great food and atmosphere and really accommodating

Food and service were great. Definitely worth another visit!

I chose well and was pleased as for the other half disappointed

Nice food and very friendly owners and staff 👍

Good food. However, service was beyond slow. Must improve delivery times of meals if this pub wants to survive.

Good food,well presented. Service was attentive, efficient and pleasant. Bar staff were cheery and chatty. Food pricing just right,ale (Taylor's Landlord) spot on.

Great food, ambiance and the staff were great

Staff were great, had lots of time for us and the kids

We visited on a Sunday, we were welcomed like old friends although it was our first visit. There was a choice of 1,2 or 3 courses and a specials board. We opted to share a starter and dessert so 2 courses each. We had the Fish Stew and garlic bread to start. The flavour was exceptional and the accompanying garlic bread was cooked to perfection. This dish wouldn't be out of place on the menu of any fine dining establishment. For main we chose the sharing roast dinner, again this was cooked to perfection. I couldn't single out any one item that stood out, it was all delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly, ensuring we had enough offering extra. Although well and truly stuffed we decided, with this standard of food so far we just had to attempt dessert. We chose the oat apple crumble, we were told it would take a little bit longer as it would be freshly cooked. This was a relief as it gave us time to digest our lunch making room for dessert. We thoroughly enjoyed the crumble, well worth the wait. Previous to visiting the Ring o Bells we had been to 7 other pub/restaurants, from Howarth, Sowerby Bridge and Bradford and we can honestly say none of them come close to our visit here. All the staff were amazing, the food was, well you HAVE to try it yourself but not too often because we definitely want to go back. Thank you Ring o Bells for an exceptional Sunday afternoon Kathy & Steve

Amazing staff amazing food. So glad my cousin recommended this place!

First visit today to try breakfast. Have to say, the best breakfast in this area. Gluten free well catered for and the host made us very welcome. Looked at the new full menu whilst there and there's something for all tastes on there... especially liked the idea of trio of desserts. Really enjoyable, will definitely be returning soon. Fantastic food, excellent service at a decent price 👍

Amazing food and amazing service as always. Would greatly recommend.

Arrived an hour before our table was booked for to have a drink before eating. We went to our table and placed our order shortly after. We then waited 50 minutes for the food to arrive, after asking numerous times where it was. My 4 Yr old daughter was restless and hungry. The restaurant was not full, maybe 5 tables, one of which was leaving as we were seated... And we were put into the cold conservatory while the main restaurant room was empty. Waitresses came every 5 minutes to see if there was anything we needed... Yes! Our food! When our food arrived the kids meal came last and was put on a plate that was hotter than the sun!! So we couldn't give it to her or she'd have been burnt. The food was tasteless and portion sizes smaller than they had been on previous visits. Upon paying the 2 waitresses seemed flustered and uncomfortable, they had an issue with the card reader and one of them didn't even know the name of the pubs owner/manager! No apology or compensation for our food taking so long to get out to us, we paid over £90 for a really poor experience..

Fantastic dog friendly pub, super cosy & of course most importantly the food was delicious.

Had s boxing day meal absolutely beautiful would definitely go back there

Really good food good beers, excellent staff and service thank you to the team for an excellent boxing day meal,

Christmas Day 2022 nice pub, good starters then waited over 3 hours for our main course. Reformed turkey and soggy veg! Sorry guys but if you’re doing Christmas dinner for 70 quid a head you’ve got to be more organised than this. Spoke with the owner after which he refused to take my initially polite criticism. Probably the most obtuse individual I’ve ever come across. Left very angry 😡 🫤

We will be going back at some point. The food was great, and 3 of our team are Vegans. So show your support.

Absolutely loved the ring o bells

Excellent food in a lovely country pub. I ordered the half fish half scampi and although it was great, they could have been a bit more generous with the scampi (I got 3 pieces) I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

excellent meal as always great food and fantastic staff.... nothing ever too much trouble

Really good we were visiting friends and had a lovely meal

We arrived at the pub on a Saturday afternoon and were greeted by Paul who was very welcoming and showed us to our table ,We used to live in yorkshire and had a trip down memory Lane by visiting once more ,The menu had lots of lovely inviting choices and we settled on hunters chicken and half scampi and haddock with chunky chips ,It was a very good choice the batter on the fish and scampi was delicious crispy and golden and the chips were light and fluffy and you could tell everything was homemade the hunters chicken my husband said was very good also and not swamped in bbq sauce like a lot of places do it ,For dessert we chose a trio of puddings to share which each one was buttery and very more ish, Paul and Jo keep up the good work your pub is lovely and your locals are so lucky to have such a gem of a pub to be able to enjoy your hospitality,I wish I lived more locally but we will definitely be back some day.😀

Ring O Bells is my local and I absolutely adore it. The food is great every time and such friendly service. There are always lots of veggie options, too. Best pub and food in the area by far ❤️

This is a very homely and chilled pub offering very good cuisine and service. Definitely worth visiting again!

Had a great Turkey Roast there on Sunday. Everything was so tasy. The lemon curd was really, really nice, glad I went for that option. Pub was full (always a good sign) but all the staff were really friendly and still provided a relaxing, friendly atmosphere.

Went today for Sunday lunch. Ordered roast turkey which was served with roast potatoes, carrots and cabbage. All cooked perfectly; the turkey melted in the mouth. Dessert was the day special, a lemon curd tart with raspberry couli served with ice cream. It was divine, the pastry chef deserved a medal, the base was perfect, the sweetness of lemon curd offset perfectly by the raspberry. I forgot to take photos. The service was perfect. If I visit again, I know where to eat. An absolute delight

Best coffee ever and lovely food! Good value for money

Had the most amazing nite here from start to finish , we were met and took to our table by callum really great young lad a credit to the pub took our drinks order and his service was brilliant ..then the owners took over jo and paul the service again was amazing nothing at all was no trouble for them and finally the food was so good nachos were just never ending and the mains just out of the world and portion size was brilliant..if you are in the area and don't stop here for food then you are missing a hidden gem can't wait to come back again keep up the super ,no excellent work everyone what a team

Amazing service and lovely food

Lovely food very friendly very nice place

It was very enjoyable as I tried the crumpet chicken burger and enjoy this ice cream sundae with the add of baileys😋. The atmosphere is very friendly.

It's all gf n the cheesecake is massive

Lovely food, environment and service. We had 3 starters: nachos which were served with home made chilli salsa, prawns and the mushrooms bruschetta, which was served with delicious home made pesto. We then ordered the fish and chips which wad delightful, a part from the mushy peas which were average if compared to the rest of the food.

Ate here last night with my son and daughter. The steak and mushroom sauce was delicious, my kid's vegetarian meals were very nice, and Jo and Paul were very pleasant to talk to and I look forward to this pub being my local.
