Ring O'Bells in Halton

Our first visit and definitely not our last! My friends treated me to lunch for my upcoming birthday. Very friendly welcome from Hannah who looked fab in her halloween cat make up. I am a real foodie, so wasn’t sure what to expect from “pub” food. We all had different meals and every meal was well presented, cooked from scratch and delicious. I didn’t leave a scrap of food on my plate! The chef came to ask if we enjoyed our food which was a really nice touch. Well done for serving exceptional and well priced food. Can’t wait to go back for Sunday roast dinner 🥘

Fabulous staff, beer and food x

First time here, food and service was spot on, fish was chunky and tasty, wife's dish was orange soy beef and she loved it, really nice place and I'm sure we'll be back soon. Thanks

Drinks only. Below is the bar meals

Had a lovely meal on "Wine Wednesday" on 18th Sept '24; fantastic deal where you get 2 courses with a bottle of house wine each thrown in. The food was delicious, really well prepared, and Hannah gave us the best customer service throughout the evening. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

It’s great to see a pub as big as this still exist! And what a large beer garden it has to boot! Service was also better than most, and it’s nice to see Aspall on draught And I don’t usually take this many photographs of somewhere so it is interesting too

Amazing everyone was very kind and I Loved the kids play area wish I could rate 50 stars

Food was lovely with good portion sizes and Hannah did a fantastic job serving us. Highly recommended.

Sunday lunches are amazing. The waiting staff are very polite and can't do enough to make sure your visit is enjoyable. Pub has a nice ambience.

Came for tea after reading some good reviews about the food. Unfortunately we had to leave after 50 minutes as no food had been forthcoming, this is despite the fact there were only 4 tables in (including ours) at the time one having finished. In that time we only saw six meals leaving the kitchen. Our heart went out to the young girl front of house who was acting as maitre Dee, food server, table clearer, glass washer and drink server seeing as she was the only bar staff person on duty. She was actually doing a great job in impossible circumstances. What was happening in the kitchen I have no idea. Such a shame we were unable to support a local business had to go to Nando’s to get some tea.

Nice food and lovely pint. Moretti on draft, which is my favourite. Plenty of other choices too.

From start to finish - top class!! Such lovely friendly and welcoming staff greeted us on arrival. The food was, by far, the best meal I have had out in ages. It is very reasonably priced. My steak was cooked exactly how I'd asked for it. One of the specials was a 4 meat lasagne, which my sister had. It was the right sized portion and she said it was absolutely delicious. There were 8 of us and every single plate was empty at the end. My nephew has allergies and nothing was too much trouble to cater for him. What was nice was it wasn't the staff that came and asked if the food was ok but the chef himself. He spoke with everyone dining. Which I thought was a lovely thing to do. I can highly recommend a visit

Atmosphere is incredible and Hannah is the most incredible bar person. Custom made cocktails and a great laugh. Thanks for a fab night

The Ring O’Bells is a lovely pub at the heart of Farnworth village and we absolutely love visiting. The food is delicious and the staff are fantastic, particularly Hannah who always goes above and beyond for her customers.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch in this cosy pub. The food was piping hot and was also delicious. Our experience here today was fantastic thanks to the loveliest waitresses Hannah and Ella. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Visited a few times, absolutely fantastic place. Food, staff and atmosphere is brilliant. Service is amazing. Cannot fault the place.

Unbelievable food! This place is slept on. Service is incredible, staff so friendly and welcoming like they really enjoy their job and we even got a visit from the chef for a chat! Must come for a pint of Staropramen and custom made cocktails to your taste. 10/10

Very poor this place is full of drug taking young people who have no manners and the staff are aware of what's going on but don't care

Pub and restaurant looks really nice now. Restaurant decor is lovely. Although I enjoyed my meal it was just a basic pub meal which I felt was overpriced but saying that food was piping hot, presented well and enjoyable. Staff lovely but waitresses very inexperienced not able to provide answers to much needed questions re drinks etc. Liked the fact the Chef mingled with customers and asked customers for their feedback on the food he'd prepared. One to watch. Will go there again.

Great Sunday lunch yesterday. A1. Chef came out asking how was meal etc. Very nice man. Highly recommended. Definitely returning.

We were booked in ,5 adult 1 child today. Met with a warm friendly greeting and shown to our table. We ordered various meals which all came piping hot and very well presented. Although maybe a little short staffed or just extra busy our service was excellent. Even the came out and served whilst checking everyone was happy with the meals. We will be back again as we all really enjoy our experience. Thank you

Visited the bells today for the bells in the park event. WOW what an extremely enjoyable day. All staff worked so hard ,as did the owners. Although the restaurant was closed today pizzas and fries etc were available and just as good. A massive thank you to all involved. I will be back for the next one. Can't praise you all enough.

Wow! This pub food was high restaurant standard! Delicious! The chef was So attentive, even came out to discuss our needs, that's going the extra mile! Well done Ring I Bells, We will definitely be back again!

Nice old style pub with jazz on first Wednesday of each month with liverpool jazz club

Great service and atmosphere but the prices in here are quite expensive

I didn't eat food so not sure how to score that

Loved the place, the staff Were exceptional so attentive and nice I really can’t compliment them enough and then the food was amazing and I don’t say this lightly as I’m a food snob lol. Five stars absolutely. DON’T CHANGE A THING. This place is in the running for our favourite.

Amazing food and brilliant service. Our waitress Hannah was so helpful and friendly. We had a large group booking for my son’s communion, and all of the meals came out together. We will definitely be returning again soon!

Lovely food and brilliant service

Been coming here with my girl friends the past few weekends… First of all, the pub & bar is so clean and the decor is so homely, the green & gold is just so vintage modern! Secondly, weve eaten in both the restaurant and outside, and how we can even get a table is beyond me, this place should have queues out the door! How unbelievably fresh and delicious the food is, and dont get me started on the garden pizzas. Wow. The two main chefs are some seriously talented people. Thirdly, the drinks! You can tell they look after their lagers, and the cocktails dont stop at the menu… Theres cocktails of the week and if you ask for a specific cocktail, its getting made for you with enthusiasm!!! Lastly, the service. This pub is ran by the most welcoming, funniest and happiest young girls and we always leave feeling elavated and in high spirits. Fast service from what feels like your friends, theyre amazing all of them. By a country mile, THE best food & drink place in widnes. Its not even my local, we taxi here!

Wow, that food was WAY beyond anything we have had in a pub before. One of our party commented it was expensive and if it had been your run of the mill 'ping' food it would have been but everything was cooked from scratch, excellent quality and good sized portions. From the presentation to the tasting, it was perfection. The chef even came out for a chat. We will be back. Thank you for a wonderful welcome and a great family meal. We can't recommend enough.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Mark is such a talented chef the food is incredible we haven’t been disappointed with anything we have tried since he took over the kitchen late last year. The staff all go above and beyond to make sure the service is 5 star especially Hannah and Maisie.

First time in since the new owners took over, absolutely fantastic food, incredible quality. Lovely and clean, welcoming staff

Went for my birthday last night , the service was amazing the lovely waitress was so nice nothing to much trouble, food was gorgeous really nice setting, enjoyed it , will definitely be back 🙌

Was lovely Atmospher will be back 😍

Really enjoyed our visit to Ring o bells food an service was wonderful 😀

Cracking meal at the Ring O Bells and fantastic service from Hannah. Highly recommend 👍

Nice food, onion rings were a bit bland and so was the fish but everything else good. The burger was really tasty and the fries were crispy

Absolutely superb food and service. So nice to have such a quality dining experience on our doorstep. Keep it up and see you very soon.

Nice cosy pub and lovely interior with lots of space. Good live music artists on every week and a decent selection of drinks.. service can be a bit slow but apart from that is a good pub.

Excellent experience staff were fabulous. An all round great pub. Just booked a table for 10 on Saturday.

Fantastic food. Chef prepared delicious dishes for both of us. Quieter day, which suited us. Top notch service.

✨️ Gold Stars all round ✨️ As a couple that regularly opt to eat out alot, we are all to often disheartened at each venue by either the service, or the food quality. This has often leads us to believing our money was complelty wasted and should of gone to somewhere more deserving. The Ring O'Bells IS that somewhere. Not only was the service above and beyond what we expected, we would go as far to day that they provide 5* service. In example, i asked for an iced coffee that i was unaware they didn't serve and they took it upon themselves to research a "how to" video and made me one regardless. This to me was greatly received as not only was it delicious it was a really kind thing to do. Now then for the food, the chef has to be commended as the food here is unbelievable, especially for such an affordable price, you feel as if you are sharing a homely meal cooked by a loved one. We asked for salt and pepper and didn't even use them once. The food is beautifully presented and very well seasoned, we highly recommend the Lamb shoulder Hotpot and the bells burger. You can tell the chef takes pride in his work. The staff are also very upbeat and welcoming and made us leave with a spring in our step from being exposed to their contagious sunshine personalities. So thankyou all at Ring O' Bells, you put our trust back into the industry and we will 1000% be back and telling our friends about the great work you guys do! You should have a queue out the door at lunch time!

So glad to have found this pub whilst in the area with work. The food was outstanding (both times we visited) and the service was even better. Sarah behind the bar was an absolute star with a huge smile and a great attitude and Neil was welcoming and so helpful with excellent maths skills ;-) Keep up the good work and thanks for the enjoyable experience

What a find! This place is an absolute gem. I cannot fault anything about my two visits here on consecutive nights. Friendly welcoming, professional staff and fantastic food at a great price. Incredible value for money! If only all pubs were as good as this!

Just called into what has to be friendliness of pubs in widnes with the warmest of welcomes for lunch and I have to say it was amazing at a great price. Great menu. Definitely be calling again very soon. Thank you Mark the amazing chef

Excellent meal today Food was superb.came with friends and expected normal pub grub This was far better Well worth a visit

We all enjoyed Sunday lunch at the Ring O'Bells. Nice atmosphere. Very clean and comfortable. 3 of us had the Sunday roast... really well presented, hot and tasty. We also ordered the extra of cauliflower cheese which was nice. Granddaughter had childs meal of chicken bites and fries. Service was polite, friendly and efficient. We think it is good value for money. Drinks are a reasonable price and there is a good choice. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Large single room with variety of customers in a mostly pleasant atmosphere. Also has a large enclosed beer garden.

Had an excellent meal here last night, the food and service are really top notch. Hannah couldn't be more helpful, and the chef came out to check everything was OK, a real sign of someone who is passionate about what they do, which shows through to the exceptional quality food 😀

Hannah was lovely, very attentive and helpful. Food was nice, very big portions.

Very friendly atmosphere. Hannah the waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Food was fresh and cooked beautifully. Would definitely recommend

Ate here last week as part of a large group visiting Widnes and Runcorn to see the interesting river crossings. The pub staff were very welcoming and the service couldn’t be faulted. Everyone seemed very content with their menu choices - only the fish was a little overdone- redeemed by excellent stick toffee pudding.

A lovely warm greeting from Hannah who looked after us throughout our meal, and always with a smile - even though she was run off her feet. Delicious food, obviously freshly prepared and served hot, which doesn't happen everywhere. Hannah was so polite and friendly we felt very at home and an unexpected visit from the chef, checking we'd enjoyed our meal completed a very good evening. Thank you both.

Excellent food and service. Beautiful pub restaurant very highly recommended will definitely be back

Just had the sirloin steak perfectly cooked to how I asked. Lovely meal and total value for money. Thank you.

We were served by Hannah, who was an absolute joy, so welcoming, attentive and friendly. We had two courses on Saturday night and everything was well presented and tasted fab.

The food is lovely would definitely recommend the chicken Kiev. Service from Hannah was great and friendly. Chef popped out to ask us our views on the food too so staff were really attentive. We’ll definitely be back!

First time visiting for food in a couple of years. The standard of all the meals my friends and I had was very good. The hand cut chips are the best I’ve had in a long time! Fish and chips, burgers and Thai curry all fresh, hot and well presented. Service was very good. Chef came out to each table to check everyone was happy with the food, which I think is a quality touch. I rebooked to take my parents for lunch a couple of days later. The light bites menu was perfect for lunch time. Although smaller than main dishes, still fairly substantial! Excellent value and quality. Well done, it’s lovely to have a pub with decent food on the doorstep.

Gorgeous food as always,staff brilliant (Hannah)is amazing

Head chef came out and started confronting my mum in front of everyone after she sent the food back. Very unprofessional

Great food, friendly service, and affordable! The whole package. I went with a few friends for some drinks and abit of food in the restaurant and we loved everything we ordered didn’t have to wait long for our food either which was a plus not sure the ginger girls name but she made sure we got everything we needed which was spot on we ended up staying later on into the evening when the live music was on and the pub really filled up great place to spend the evening I especially can’t thank the staff enough aswell as just before we left I lost my car keys and they managed to run round and find them for me I think the young girl was called grace 10/10 place for a Saturday!!!

Came here on Thursday as we drove past by chance and glad we did! Soon and we came through it was a happy atmosphere and we was greeted by Hannah who helped us with what was popular on the menu and at bar the bar. The food was incredible hard to pick from so many options and the drinks was so good we ended up staying and getting a taxi home will definitely be our new regular thanks guys

Came here a couple of months ago and have returned. Again the service from Sarah was top notch, and the food was fabulous. Thank you Sarah we will visit again when we are next in widnes

Another fabulous meal and service at this pub. The service from Sarah was excellent. The food was fantastic. Each time I come to widnes it is a pleasure to come here. Sarah thank you for your service

Very lovely Pub but the barmaid who served us (Sarah) had no customer service skills whatsoever! I later asked for her name when she served us again as she was so not interested in serving us we asked what options of wine was available she was very rude making snide remarks! As paying customers we felt very uncomfortable! Especially when the prices were over any other local pub around the area. I was then later coming from the smoking area where i was infront of her and she rudley pushed passed me when the the door slammed into her shoulder and the bouncer said to her (thats karma) so he clearly knew she was a horror to your paying customers too! I work in a pub myself and i make sure i make every paying customer feel very welcome! This was our first time visiting the ring o bells widnes and we can assure you we won't be returning seems to us she's only OK with her regular customers and not any new customers from the area that you receive which is very disappointing as apart from her outcome we found the establishment lovely.. hopefully Sarah doesn't cost you anymore custom!

As always … food and staff exceptional especially Hannah. Warm and welcoming managers… just can’t beat the atmosphere in this pub wether it be a weekday or weekend… favourite local

The Sunday Roast is the best in the town by far will definately be returning I have already booked in for this week The menu looks amazing👍

We had the 'lite bites' fish and chips which were really enjoyed. My niece had the chicken burger which was huge. Chef and manager came to check we had enjoyed our meal. It was perfect.

Visited here for family meal, the food was excellent, the staff were very attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere will definitely be back.

We hired the function room for a family meal, food was amazing, staff were great, overall an amazing evening, thank you!

We hired the function room upstairs for a family meal, food was amazing, service was great overall an amazing pub

This is the best place in Widnes and the local area in general. Head over to Farnworth, a short drive from Cronton and Widnes town centre and enjoy a drink or an excellent meal in this country pub. We had lunch there twice in one week. The food is excellent, the prices are modest, the atmosphere is friendly and the service is great.

Had a very late lunch at this lovely venue today. Fantastic staff, lovely decor and pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Food was delicious and the prices modest. Well thought out wine list and beer selection. Top spot in a nice area.

Excellent customer service and great food 😋

It was mid week in Jan, so not many people but the room was cold! Soon warmed up when the food came! Food was gorgeousand our waitress (Sarah?) Was so lovely, thank you xx

Amazing food and great service . The chef even came out to speak to everyone dining and check that they were enjoying the food. Highly recommended

Good lunch today with family and friends.

We had a fantastic xmas meal leading up to xmas, food amazing and the chef came out to speak to us to check if ok. He's only been there a couple of mths and the food is the best ever.

Went on Christmas Eve for the Sunday lunch menu, not expecting too much knowing how crazy Christmas Eve is. All 11 of chose the roast beef and it was excellent. Yorkshire puddings were great, gravy spot on and the veg fresh and tasty with a particular ‘shout out’ for the carrots and parsnips which were fantastic. Staff were great too. Only slight ‘fault’ but I do get it, we had to keep going downstairs for our own drinks. Overall though excellent and we will certainly be going back for Sunday lunch in 2024.

Had a meal here when the food was first served and it was OK. Went again yesterday and it was superb. Food was very good as was the service. Its definitely improved and worth a visit, cheers 🍻

Excellent as always. The staff are all fantastic, food is excellent (most recently the Sunday Roast). It's a cracking local pub with a great vibe. Highly recommend.

Didnt have food but staff, beer and the Jazz Band where brilliant!

Amazing food . Staff was amazing . Food was superb was hot parter tried the pie of the day fish and haddock loved it . I highly recommend this place for the family. I enjoyed my lamb hot pot and a nice hot chocolate with baileys . Perfect for this cold weather !! 10/10

I really wanted to love this as everyone wants pubs like this to thrive. It looks a lovely place to eat in, but the food was really poor. The service however was absolutely excellent and a credit to the place.

Popped in today for a quick drink and shared a steak sandwich and chips. Place is really nicely decorated. Front of house staff were very welcoming. Food was delicious and well presented. Will definitely come back and have a proper meal, when we have more time. At last we have somewhere nice in the town to bring out of towners when they come to visit 😃

Great night ruined by one of the bar staff members extremely rude and refused to change my drinks that had been poured when the coke pump had ran out and just ignored me when I was trying to tell her (called Sarah). Also screamed at me ‘I heard you’ when I repeated my order as I thought she had never heard me. Luckily another member of staff called Grace was accommodating and apologised for her colleagues poor and inappropriate behaviour.

New chef giving other good food pubs a run for their money. The two meals we ordered were high end, but very reasonably priced. Staff were welcoming and very friendly. Class act all round. Well done guys, keep it up...

Our local. Fantastic food & fantastic service. Thanks for making my birthday special.

Have just visited the pub with a couple of friends. Had a wonderful lunch, home cooked food at its best. The service was excellent, the manager and his partner were really nice. We will be returning very soon .

Great service staff lovely wish i knew our server's name just so she get's the recognition she deserves.The food was lovely ..great pub and great food.....

Great beer garden and play area for children warm and friendly staff

What a fabulous pub, really nice decor and atmosphere, we had an evening meal, the food was wonderful, great menu choices, our waitress Sarah was wonderful and provided excellent service ....I will definitely come back next time I am in the area

Sarah was a fantastic waitress, very attentive and took care of us all night!

Hannah is so welcoming and friendly great service

My friend and I experienced our 1st evening meal here I had a huge fish and chips and my friend opted for the linguini . The food was beautiful , the atmosphere was so friendly and the staff could not wait on us enough … especially Hannah . Thank you ring o bells I will be back asap

The standard of food was excellent way above expectations for a local pub. Mark is an excellent chef , passionate with exciting ideas to extend the menu. The staff were warm, attentive and welcoming. The deserts were exceptional and finished the evening perfectly.

20 Sunday dinners and quite last minute - thank you ring o bells cos it was special for our friends 75th. And Hannah looked after us in the bar later on. Great stuff. Thank you.

Fabulous!!! Met with old Friends from 45 yrs ago!
