Ring Of Bells Inn in Taunton Deane

Please be very wary of booking any kind of function here. Our experience was of booking for my wife's 50th birthday one year in advance. Booking accepted, we sent out invites and people began booking hotel rooms etc. We received a phone call a few days ago, telling us that they were cancelling the booking. They had a story about double booking us with someone who made a tentative enquiry two years ago(!), but it is clear that we have simply been bumped for a more lucrative offer. It is so disappointing when a business treats potential customers like this. I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere for any important function.

We popped in on Saturday afternoon for a couple of pints. A nice beer selection, and crisp cold drinks ! Ended up staying for some food, and the burgers we had were incredible. Will be returning for sure !!

Good food, great service, the carvery I had today was very good and great value for money. Will definitely be returning!

Staff very helpful food was excellent definitely go again

My first visit certainly won't be my last.. food was absolutely amazing and best pub grub in a long time.. they had buy one get one free on the burgers on the Friday so had a fantastic meal at and even better price.. definitely value for money.. staff were very helpful and friendly and the beer garden is beautiful. Dogs welcome so we had a lovely family evening and will most certainly be back to try the carvery that's said to be even better.. thank you ring of bells for a great evening

We love this pub it's friendly and has a lovelly beer garden to relax in. Prices are great. We have not had food there yet but have seen their buffet for functions and it looks great. They have a free function room and it's really big leading out onto the terrace outside.

A very nice shop full of garden curiosities at the top end of Dulverton

Josh and all the staff have been exceptionally kind to my mother, who called in for a takeaway Sunday Roast whilst looking after my Dad who is unwell. She's of a generation that don't use the Internet for reviews etc but she phoned me up absolutely delighted with both the meal and the fantastic care and local community spirit shown by the whole team. Thank you, you've made a massive difference to her, your kindness is very much appreciated.

Popped in for a carvery today. It was lush. The meat choices were great. The beef , gammon and belly pork were superb. Could've just ate a slab of belly pork. Was so good. I've had roasts delivered by you guys before and has always been great but was nice to actually dine in the pub. Lovely staff. See.you sion.

Perfect place for a roast dinner

Took 3 of us in last minute walk (thank you!) Incredible Sunday Carvery, everything & more you could wish for, cooked to perfection. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Great job! Definitely recommend to everyone who wants home style roast dinner. See you soon!

We visited here for a 40th birthday party so the review will only be a partial one. Firstly we had never been here before and parking was a bit of an issue especially as the pub is on a busy main road. There was a nice atmosphere to the place, the young couple who were running the place were warm and welcoming & friendly. There were a good selection of beers, wines & spirits, tge prices were average & the pub was clean & tidy. The party food that was provided by the pub was good & well presentedas were the few bits that we ordered from their menu. Restrooms were clean & tidy with all that you'd expect, hot water & soap etc. Thank you for a great evening

Came here for a carvery, unplanned had never heard of this place before but pleasantly surprised. Meat options and quality was great and the cauliflower cheese was an absolute winner. Some of the veg could have been improved, but we turned near the end of service so understandable. Meal was an absolute bargain! Would definitely come back

Lovely carvery and attentive staff

Great pint delicious lunch we'll recommend

Came here with our family’s lastnight for New Year’s Eve. A really nice pub that put a great night on. Drinks weren’t expensive, food was lovely and the couple that runs the pub couldn’t have done enough to make the evening more enjoyable. We also dragged all of our children along with us and they opened up the back of the pub for them all to play and really made it a family friendly evening. We will all be coming back here again for sure. Thanks Josh and Sara!

Lovely food and service. Would definitely recommend.

Great young couple running the pub and can honestly say it’s a great place visit I was there for a joint 60th party and was amazed by the place 🙂

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff.

Went for a mid week carvery with friends and was presently surprised with how nice the place was,staff were lovely and friendly and the carvery was brilliant,lots of veg to choose from,stuffing,afew meat options,potatoes gravy,yourkshire pudding etc. Would definitely recommend.

One of the best carvery roast we've had recently. Shall be going again.

My family stopped for a Saturday bite to eat for lunch. Very reasonable prices, excellent food and very welcoming as well. Definitely recommend it

The best roast we have had in ages. Just amazing!!!! Thank you so much. Vicki

My family have been going for years. Always great customer service. And food is excellent every time there chocolate fudge cake is the best I've had.would definitely recommend 👌 👍the carvery is always amazing

We came for Sunday lunch and it was a bit of a let down veg overcooked stuffing balls like bricks and finally we were charged £8 for our 13 month old bit over the top

Had my wedding reception at ring of bells and made chef aware of my wife's allergy to eggs being severe and needed to carry an epi pen with her at all times. 80% of buffet had egg within the items. My best woman spoke to the owners about how devastated we were that after cross contamination neither of us had eaten anything. We were offered a meal for my wife and I which never materialised. The staff and the set up was fantastic shame about the buffet we made the chef aware numerous times of allergy's mainly egg.

Excellent Carvery. Lots of choice. Friendly staff.

Fantastic food welcoming staff. Best roast dinner ever.

Nice garden area. Wine selection could do with some guidance... Overall ok

Good honest pub food plenty of it and really friendly bar staff well recomend a meal there

Friendly staff, very well priced both spirits and drafts. The Food has great flavour. Parking is a bit limited but don't keep that put you off. Disable access.

Amazing local pub brilliant atmosphere very friendly owners definitely recommend

I had never been to the Ring of Bells before but booked a meal for a party of 10. Without exception, everyone said how good their meal was. I had steak, as did a few others, they were cooked exactly as asked for, very tender and fantastic. A big thank you to Josh who cooked them and the rest of the staff for the warm welcome.

Lovely pub. Friendly atmosphere

We were made very welcome, nothing was to much trouble. Food was great, highly recommended.

Great company and friendly welcome

Not even made it into the pub and the landlord has put me off for life. He's a bully.

Great friendly atmosphere, fantastic carvery, and totally took advantage of the 2 courses for the price of 1 deal! 😁

5for Sunday Roast then back to Barnstaple. Well cooked home made. What more can you ask for. Excellent pub. Well done Josh Sarah & staff

We had a carvery on a Sunday. Good choice of meat cuts and vegetables. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely Suday lunch very good value

Thank you for hosting my wife’s birthday party great venue josh and the team very friendly and helpful

Over all most of my group enjoyed the Carvery and me myself did enjoy it but a couple of my group thought the potatoes were too hard and the mother in law with her false teeth couldn't even bite them lol... On the whole though the Carvery was pretty good. 4 choices of meat and plenty of veg to choose from. Sadly there were only 4 desserts on the dessert board and 1 of these wasn't available. This meant some of my group went without dessert as there wasn't anything they fancied. I had dessert though and it was very nice 😋. So, over all this is a good place to have a Carvery, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Few more dessert options so there is something for everyone and this would have been 5 stars

Staff r so friendly and helpful... food is lovely and such fantastic value for money. A tradional friendly pub atmosphere

Good beer a great local pub And good food

Nice friendly pub big beer garden and PLAY area for kid's.

Great roast and great value for money Highly recommended

Great old fashioned pub with good food and a good selection of beers.

What a little gem! Lovely staff, friendly locals, foods beautiful. All priced well, a crackling roast as well (see what I did there) 🙄 a great pub, go and enjoy

The Sunday carvery is a thing of beauty. But a word of warning, you are expected to squeeze in a dessert as well! I had Banofee pie and ice cream which was excellent.

Nice pub bit rough looking on the outside but lovely staff and reasonable price drinks .

Excellent food, great choice , very friendly staff both on floor and behind bar

Nice place friendly staff and good food

Absolutely banging roast!with great n friendly staff!!

Good enough pub, locals were welcoming.

Ideal place for a family party Or any party

Good food great pub very good staff.

Best public house in Norton Fitzwarren. Try the Tribute ale.

A fantastic pub friendly and helpful staff and lovely owners beautiful garden area and in all a beautiful venue

First time here Sunday carvery was lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Great atmosphere, can get packed when cricket finishes. Good choice of ales and lagers. Great beer garden that gets the sun. Have eaten there in the past and nothing to complain about. Staff friendly. They show the odd match in there on TVs and screen. Dog friendly. Restaurant on two levels so lots of room but you do need to book as gets very busy.

Went to a party here this evening, although the company I was with was lovely not everything was. The food although cooked very well and tasted great was a lot of the same over and over and no sweets. We were served by 3 members of staff 2 ladies and 1 man, the ladies were lovely as for the man he was some what rude and made me feel uncomfortable and not in a rush to come back. All staff need to know how to charge the same as the first round I bought for my family had 7 drinks was just over £13 when I bought our second round with only 6 drinks it was over £14 although that's not a lot difference I didn't make sense and all I got told by the man was "you just got lucky!" , I'm not happy how i was left feeling and hope my friends who invited ours take their wedding else where .

Did the Christmas day experience and could not fault it. A very enjoyable experience. Top notch grub also.

Great place Great carvery value for money lovely people

Quiet nice pub and nice atmosphere

Good Sunday roast and very friendly

Great pub, very friendly and really helpful. We rehearse in here most weeks and always really accommodating. Great function room at the back as well for parties and weddings.

Had our wedding reception here - the food was wonderful - you certainly do the best roast potatoes. Friendly and helpful, will be back to try more of your menu. Thank you for helping to make our special day amazing - Michelle and Sandra
