Ring of Bells Restaurant in Teignbridge

Ancient pub tucked away. Posh food.

Whilst staying in a cottage almost next door to the pub, we ate there three times - two dinners & Sunday lunch. Excellent food, ambience - especially Sunday lunch which was very good value & extremely good! The young man who was there on all our visits was delightful - sorry but didn’t ask his name! Well worth a visit.

Beautiful Dartmoor pub with excellent food & great service.

One of the best Sunday roasts we've had in a long time, highly recommend! Thank you!

Lovely location and beautiful setting Dog friendly Not a huge offer on ale and ciders, but the ones on offer were great. Excellent chips and ciabattas available including GF options.

Beautiful Devon village pub in Dartmoor national park. Superb service team and really accommodating for our lunch request. Worth booking ahead for Sunday lunch. Great local food and drink options

Outside beautiful but inside modernisation not in keeping. Church across the Green is well worth a visit.

Nice food and friendly staff. There are some excellent walks around the very pretty village.

Rooms, ambience and location great. However, if check-out is at 10:30, you are urgently informed about this time and the breakfast buffet is cleared away at 9:45, it is like being thrown out in an unfriendly manner.

Wonderful food and lovely people. Such a beautiful spot. The selection was excellent and catered for allergies very well. Service was wonderful.

Took a Hong Kong friend to here last week - wish I had tried it before! The delightful, small village sets the atmosphere, and the Ring of Bells did not disappoint in any way. Attentive and friendly service, and the food was superb. Nothing "exotic", but all the better for it if the standard is good. It was much better than that! Will certainly return with a feeling of confidence.

Gorgeous pub in a gorgeous village. We hadn't booked and up at 3 pm, in-between lunch and dinner, so not not ideal for them, but they were very accommodating and served up some delicious ciabattas. Very dog friendly, excellent service. Decent real ale.

Wow … what a great place. We had drinks and then dinner here. Dinner was 5 star. Better than some of those fancy places that charge too much … seriously good food and great wine. 10 out of 10. Thanks for a great night.

Beautiful pub in a dream like town. Excellent food.

Off the beaten track but well worth the effort. This time we had lovely calamari and a Brie quiche, delightful. They serve good beer and a nice wine selection. It’s a nice drive through narrow lanes from Mortanhampstead, certainly worth it

Good service very poor expensive steaks for three of us.Wont be going again

We really liked the pleasant restaurant and the stay there was wonderful.

Since I'm now on trip advisor. I must give a thorough and heartfelt recommendation to this beautiful pub. I and my wife had a phenomenal meal, with ownership the genuinely feels like they care.

Super little local pubs, a very high quality lunch with some real love on the plate.. Even a nice salad alongside the ciabetta.... And super homemade onion rings.... Will even go back and try the evening service

Very idyllic nice neighborhood place with fresh and perfectly prepared food of excellent quality. Great service. Gonna come back tomorrow

The staff are always fantastic and it’s a great place for a mid week dinner!!!!

Amazing food, good value for money, lots of choice, all the staff are really attentive, friendly, family friendly with a good play area for kids, great atmosphere, just perfect! Love the this little beauty!

One of our favourite places to eat in Chester. Staff and food are amazing.

Thanks to all the staff especially Amy and Ameila.

Good honest food. It was tasty and the service was good. Nice friendly staff, and relaxed atmosphere.

Really nice food but maybe a little over-priced. Nice dining area - light and bright. Very attentive and friendly staff

Great pub we were made very welcome lovely atmosphere very pleasant staff food was well cooked arrived hot and was well presented .Would recommend this place just for the ride alone.

The service wasn’t very good, we had to get our own drinks from the bar and when we asked if we could order they thought we were asking for the bill.

Very attentive staff, look out for children and elderly customers well Speedy and quality Sunday dinner “Gravy on the side”

Unfortunately my partner had to send her Sunday lunch back 2 times and then finally rejected it!

We were placed in small side room with very little atmosphere. There was a 35 minute wait from placing the order to its arrival. Food was acceptable. Serving team was working hard: overstretched perhaps?

Good food sadly let down by appalling service. ‘Clean’ glasses arrived with lipstick on them, fresh drinks were left to get warm on the bar for 10 mins, and members of staff appeared to avoid serving and cleaning away empty plates. This suggests a managerial/training issue.

They were very accommodating when a mistake was made with our booking the food and service was very good .

As usual the food and service was good. Staff all seems pleased to see customers.

We had a wonderful experience as a family of four for dinner. The quality of the food was exceptional. The menu combines pubby food with some more cheffy touches but everything was done very well. My son ordered an outstanding burger with incredible fries. We had a great pork belly dish with a sweet glaze. I really enjoyed the calamari and the whitebait - all fresh. It was all really really good and as far as I could tell, everything was homemade and of very high quality. The pub also had a very nice atmosphere and service was very friendly. It's a beautiful setting in a bucolic Devon village!

Not the great village pub that it used to be. Reservations and all tables laid with cutlery for meals are not synonymous with what we like in a village pub

The best Sunday lunch for miles around, home cooke, tasty and plentiful in a friendly and comfortable environment

Overal a very pleasant experience with nice staff and good food. We were disappointed that there was no alcohol free beer available.

Sunday Roast was Great! The Ring of Bells did not disappoint. The staff were attentive & the Pub was very well kept. Our lunch was delicious & very filling. We will be back!

Perfect Sunny lunch sitting outside to break up our journey down to North Wales from The Lakes. Gorgeous menu, staff good and such a lovely setting.

Had an amazing roast here last night! Excellent food and staff attentive, polite and lovely! Have not been here for a while but the pub is so good we’ll definitely be back. The place was very busy but our food arrived quickly and was perfect. No complaints whatsoever about the Ring O Bells just a pity there was a dog outside continually barking!

We had burgers on the 2 for 1 deal. They were very tasty and fresh. We also got a child’s burger on the 2 for 1 and the staff prepared the “free” burger for our dog that was with us. Staff were fab they brought the dog water and were very friendly.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Great service. Would recommend

The Sunday lunch is very good both food and value for money

I had the calzone pizza and my daughter had the Hawaiian with extra ham. They were both delicious and excellent value with the two for one offer on a Wednesday. Service was lovely and friendly as always. Thank you for making us feel so welcome every time we come here for food and drinks. I would highly recommend. The ringing of bells is great for couples, groups and families.

shown to table promptly and food came quickly but after the main course we had to ask for everything - desert menu , drink, bill. Forgotten after main course

Excellent food and service. Catered well for vege/vegan. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Great Sunday lunch. Best in Chester. One roast, one veg wellington and Fish & Chips. Excellent.

Fabulous food and friendly staff. We were a group of 5 plus 2 dogs for dinner and arrived after a long journey down to Devon. The food was delicious with options for veggies, kids and meat eaters. The pub is lovely and will be a good reason to stay in North Bovey again.

A village pub/eating establishment frequented by family groups.

Our first visit to both the village of North Bovey and The Ring of Bells and well worth it, a quintessentially typical chocolate box Devon village, The Ring of Bells is situated around the village green. With plenty of outside seating in the front courtyard, inside is a beautiful and authentic mix of wooden beams, with a soft modern accent, beautifully decor, soft furnishings, spacious and elegant, the use of the interior space has been considerately thought through. The menu was a delight of locally sourced ingredients, varied and balanced to suit all tastes, I tried the scallops and the rump which were both superb, between us we also tried the spicy parsnip soup and the calamari, along with both the quiche’s of the day and the sausage and mash, all of which were a delight on the taste buds. Having left room for dessert, we opted for the home made dark chocolate cheesecake, creme brûlée and tiramisu, all of which were a superb finish to a very exceptional, delicious meal. The service was efficient, friendly and welcoming, the presentation of the meals was exemplary, and we look forward to returning soon, thanks guys, a very special afternoon in deed

Ringobells is our local and food was absolutely lovely lots of friends Caine to visit so they can eat here with us.

We were staying locally for a weekend away and had booked a table for a Saturday night. For various reasons our plans for the Friday night changed so we swapped our booking to Friday, and so we loved it so much we went back on the Saturday as well. Lovely friendly staff, warm and cosy restaurant. The menu had plenty of options, all using locally sourced produce, lots of meat options if that's your thing, but also great options for veggies. The curried cauliflower soup was one of the best soups I've ever had anywhere! Highly recommended and definitely worth a visit.

as a group we always meet at ringa bells and good deals

Lovely food and friendly helpful staff. Pizzas were delicious. Sticky crispy beef was a particular highlight.

A long wait for the food. Staff were helpful, but let down by what seemed to be a poor system of getting food to the take. Coffee was sent back because it was cold.

We had a lovely cosy meal here this Saturday. Great food and swift service. Would recommend.

Had lunch today, with my girlfriends. It was lovely to see the fires lit, lovely ambience and a busy restaurant. The food was excellent, and the staff welcoming and super efficient. Well Done to the team. We will be back. Laurie Preece

Hiked over here from Bovey Castle and enjoyed a rewarding beer at the pub. Lovely place and cozy pub. Looks like a great place to dine as well.

Lovely location, attentive and friendly staff, and lovely meal with loads of veggie options. Highly recommend

Another superb Sunday Lunch. The soup was absolutely fantastic and the Roast Beef excellent as always. Friendly service helped make for another enjoyable Sunday at the Ring O’ Bells - thank you!

The service was a little slow as there was no other diners but once out order was placed the food arrived quickly and with speed after the meal the. Offer took so long we thought they had foegotto

Food was lovely as always. Staff were friendly and when we asked for something it arrived quickly. It was busy so we did have to wait a little while for staff to come back to order more drinks etc. it was also very noisy! I think the football being on contributed to that.

Lovely food & great service. Would definitely recommend

Wife delayed at work so decided to have a quick bite at the Ring of Bells. Service,Staff and food are always first class. Had the 2for 1 pizza deal which was great.Pizza very tasty and quite large.

Service excellent, restaurant lovely atmosphere. The gammon was very salty but wasn’t, last time we ate there, so a bit unfortunate. The Steak very tasty although slightly tough. A little overpriced for what you got. Although I would eat there again.

Enjoyed Sunday lunch . Food excellent well presented and good flavour. Lots of Vegs which I enjoy. Room warm and not noisy. Friendly and helpful waitress .

Beautiful, picturesque, friendly, top quality service and lovely veggie meal from the specials menu. I went on my own because I needed somewhere quiet to work and eat. The staff were lovely and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

Nice pizza and Buddha bowl Decent service - place could do with a bit of tidying up in parts - including tables / cutlery etc

Had been here before so was expecting a similar experience but was disappointed overall. The 2 areas of the pub (where we ate and then drank) were not very well heated and 2 of our group had to put their coats back on to eat. There were children being allowed to run about the area where we eat which didn't make for a pleasant or restful atmosphere. The food was perfectly acceptable but nothing to write home about. It felt like fairly poor value when the bill arrived. The staff were fine and helpful though product knowledge wasn't the best (I was told that there was no real ale because of a problem with the gas - which real ale doesn't require!).

The booking process was very straightforward and the follow-up reminder was useful. The menu for the children had a good range of options for mains, sides and desserts; the adult menu had a very wide range of options to suit all tastes. The service was friendly and reasonably quick. We have been to the Ring O' Bells several times before and would certainly visit again.

Super atmosphere, great staff and best of all delicious food!

Everything was great, food brilliant with fast and friendly service

Great selection on the menu and good prices especially on Tuesday when it’s 50% off (which is unfortunately finishing at the end of February). Staff were efficient and pleasant. Our table however was cold with a draught from the front door.

Pleasantly busy on arrival and orders taken really quickly. Food arrived promptly and was lovely. Service was fantastic. A really lovely tea time treat tonight. Thank you.

Visited whilst staying at Bovey Castle, admittedly we had high gastropub with character expectations after viewing website and pictures, ordered a starter main and dessert the dessert was the star of the show, the portion size excellent and quality good although a little bland and perhaps a tiny bit "rustic" we just didn't feel it quite met what the pub itself is aiming for. The service was outstanding all the team were extremely efficient friendly welcoming and polite and all feedback was given at the time. The waitress did explain the pub had been through a few changes of ownership and a rebuild after a serious fire and whilst the interior little clinical it does still retain much of its original character, we wish them the very best of luck and it was refreshing that feedback given during the visit was appreciated by the team we would definitely recommend and return. We do understand the extreme cost pressures and felt pricing very reasonable if it needed to be a tad more expensive for a slight polish on quality I think you would be ok.

This was our second visit, and unfortunately we experienced poor service on both occasions. This most recent one we waited an hour for our food to come and when it arrived, we had to send it back due to it being cold. The response from staff wasn’t particularly great and nothing was knocked off the bill. On the previous visit we were given the wrong meals, some of the meals were cold, the coke was flat and they forgot about us as we were sat in the back corner. Again, nothing was knocked off the bill and they weren’t overly apologetic. Really disappointing after we had heard such great reviews.

This is a good place to eat food quality is excellent and staff are friendly. Like most places could do with more desserts for gluten free guests. Prices are a little higher than some places we go but we will definitely be back

Even though not very busy the service was slow. I would however try there again in hope the service improves.

Lovely food and great service. Will be going back again soon :-)

2 for 1 pizzas were delicious. It feels like the freshest pizza you can have. And really good value for money.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal as usual lucky we live in the village so can come here all the time

It’s the first time we have visited the ring o bells but it’s definitely not our last. The food was really good,The staff helpful and friendly everywhere’s was spotless and the best bit all food was half price on a Tuesday. 👍👍

We love going to The RoB and are always made very welcome. The food is great

lovely Sunday roast with good ales and friendly service

A very accommodating team at The Ring o Bells. Good food and a very pleasant atmosphere as always. Just seems to be lacking in phone signal

Excellent food and great value on the 50% food offer.

Lovely venue, staff are friendly & their attentiveness was at a perfect level. Food was very good & good value on their 50% off food night. Thanks!

Food was lovely as always. My son loves the pasta and chips option on kids menu. Who doesn’t love double carbs. Food came quickly and staff great and engaged with son who was being a bit bonkers. Only slight issue was Our table was behind a pillar so was hard to attract staff attention. I would prob have had another drink with meal had I been able to flag someone down !

Went for the Wed 2 for 1 pizza offer ; nice pizzas, friendly helpful staff, good value on the offer.

Great place to eat, attentive staff, Wednesday night's pizzas are fabulous. Will definately be back.

Lovely food and kind staff. But food very slow to come out due to it being very busy and being seated next to a huge table meant it was very loud! That said it was amazing value on 50 % off Tuesday.

We went to the Ring O' Bells for Sunday lunch and enjoyed it very much. The service was quick and our order was taken by an extremely amiable young man!! Our food was very tasty and the plate was full. There was a mixture of food available on the menu. We also enjoyed a dessert which was yummie!!

The staff are warm welcoming and extremely helpful.

Food took over an hour to arrive. I got sauce on my chair and coat from previous diner at our table. Food was delicious when it arrived though.

Was a very busy night, as there was 50% off the food which was good. But the noise level, we had to shout to be heard. All the girls on service were very pleasant, but were rushed off their feet. We had to wait quite sometime for our food. Although it was lovely when it came

Great food as always. It was very busy so service was a bit slow but that’s to be expected at busy times. Excellent. Highly recommend.

We have had Sunday lunch here many time, I just did not think the lunch was up to its usual standard. Have you changes your meat supplier as the beef was tough and hard to cut and eat.

Lovely Sunday lunch - staff were very attentive, great atmosphere
