The Ring O'Bells Inn in Mendip - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went for evening dinner. Inside seating was cozy and staff super friendly. Atmosphere was comfortable despite us not being local. Food portions were generous and did not feel like the budget grub you'd get at a city pub. Steak was cooked extremely well and cooked as requested. Chunky chips extremely chunky. Cod loin and prawns came with a very large fish and plenty of prawns. Flavour for both meals was 10/10 and you would not leave hungry As the starter and mains were so food we could not leave out desert so 2 sticky toffee puddings were on the cards. Again portions were big and food very tasty. Could not fault this establishment one bit. Also, potentially dog friendly

We visited this delightful pub for Sunday lunch whilst on holiday in the area. The food was absolutely delicious, generous portions and reasonably priced. Genuinely one of the best Sunday Roasts I’ve had. The huge plate of veggies were gorgeous, especially the parsnips and cabbage - cooked to perfection. Meat was tender and great roasties. Only wish we lived nearer!

Lovely meal for our anniversary on Friday evening (16/08/2024). Friendly staff, nice locals, our dog was welcome inside or outside and our meals were lovely. No car park, but we were able to park up the road, quite close.

Lovely friendly staff and customers, beer well kept and good prices too. We didn't dine there so can't comment on the food.

Lovely food, friendly staff and very welcoming as we were staying at the campsite down the road and just needed a good away from the bbq!

Food was brilliant. Decent portion sizes. And good tasting food. Very friendly staff. That good we went twice during our 4 night stay

Had a very nice weekday lunch with family. Lovely lasagne and friendly service

Fantastic food, service fair. Good atmosphere, not many in but it was a wed early evening. Will definitely go again.

Beautiful little gem of a pub. Great food and atmosphere. Love old establishments.

It was perfect ! Generous plate, adorable waitresses and warm atmosphere. I recommend.

Fab little pub,super friendly especially Trevor, food was excellent and very home made in the best way. Great value and portion size. Great selection of beers and ciders. Well worth a visit. Make sure your not the designated driver.

The food was superb, fantasticly cooked crunchy skin belly pork with lovely crunchy vegetables served super quick. Great value. Fab selection of beer and ciders, great staff. Trevor the hound was a great furry buddie.

Stopped for lunch on a bike ride ...v nice

Always have a good meal and good sized portions

Welcoming atmosphere, hearty portions, tasty food, cater for gluten free & children

Very friendly pub, nice helpful cheerful staff, not overpriced. Good portion sizes, seems popular with local residents, we went twice whilst we were on holiday. Recommended.

Leuk restaurant. De mooie stenen muren zijn geweldig. Jammer van de felle verlichting. Doet afbreuk aan de sfeer. Zeer vriendelijke bediening. Verwacht niet te veel van het eten. Kwantiteit gaat hier boven kwaliteit. Heb je geen zin om te koken, dan kun je hier prima terecht.

A tale of two halves really, visited this pub twice while away, which is a lovely pub, first night I had a rib eye steak, my wife had cod loin with prawns, both meals excellent, followed by sticky toffee pudding which we agreed was probably the best we had ever had, we enjoyed it so much we booked for Sunday dinner which was not to the standard of the night before, don't get me wrong, it was nice but clear it is a roast that is already prepared then warmed up, good size dinner, the meat was lovely but the Yorkshire pudding was as thin as a rizla and snapped when we cut into it, no substance at all, now we both love Yorkshire pudding but this really was ineadable, we noticed the couple on the next table left theirs as well, it tasted old and oily which was disappointing as the rest of the meal was fine, I don't think it will put us off going back for a meal as our original one was great but Sunday dinner, we will go somewhere else next time, it was also disappointing that a couple were sat at the bar not caring about the language they were using in front of families with small children and being allowed to vape in front of bar staff which I thought was not allowed in a pub.

We dinned at Ring O' Bells on the recommendation of Worth House B&B. They both lived up to their excellent reputation. Every dish out of the kitchen looked appitizing, we had the gnocchi and pasta dishes, and they were exceptional!

Lovely steak, no waste, cooked perfectly and just the right amount of food. Will definitely be trying their scampi.

Staying in the area and asked host where to eat. Recommend. Fantastic find -great food & nice atmosphere. Very helpful with dietary needs.

We had food more than twice in the Ring O Bells Wooky. Superb. Gnocchi was better than some in Italy. As was the Tagliatelle and Steaks. Cooked to perfection. Great homely feel. Lovely staff. Great addition to our holiday in Somerset.

Well worth a visit .We had Sunday lunch and it was absolutely delicious. Full marks from me

Camped near by made to feel welcome by staff clientele alike great beer Delicious meals huge tasty portions

Ring O'Bells is such a great place, the food is always excellent portions rather large, we visit Somerset a couple of times a year and always choose here for meals. Sunday roast is best. Thank you.

Great food for the price, good sized portions and nice friendly staff! Would definitely visit again 😁

Three of us had dinner at the Ring O Bells 29 March on the recommendation of another local pub. Lovely old pub. Excellent service from friendly staff. Great food (I had the pork belly). Quality ingredients, beautifully cooked. My only criticism - if you can call it that - is the servings are too generous; though my guilt at not finishing all the lovely vegetables was ameliorated when staff told us they compost leftovers.

Great cozy pub, no nonsense, excellent food. Steak was perfectly cooked, and the heart pork belly was huge and delicious. Recommend!

Lovely family meal.roast was so good.far too much veg.

This was our first time visiting yesterday afternoon and whilst the food was OK and a very large portion unfortunately the same cannot be said for the service. We were seated at 3pm, had our drink and food order taken shortly after BUT it took over 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive. Our food actually turned up before the drinks did. When the food arrived, the plates got slammed on the table with a lot of the veg falling off the plate and onto the table. Waitressing staff not very friendly and didn't apologise for the mess created. All in a disappointing experience and not sure we would return again.

Never ever had a bad time here food has always beat expectations fully recommend love it here

We go for Sunday lunch a couple of times a month,can't be beaten.

Tucked out the way but all the better for it. Food was outstanding and atmosphere warm and welcoming. Gteat value for money

Been a Local here for 25 years. Traditional historic pub with 3ft thick buttressed stone walls (served its first pint in 1487 as an Almshouse to the Wells Bishops Palace- no, I wasn't there!), Great menu and real ales all week, but an exceptional choice for Sunday Lunch. Chefs Alex, Carl and their kitchen and bar team produce a selection of meats + veggie options with all the trimmings. And I do mean ALL the trimmings - suggest you skip breakfast! Very competively priced too. Sun-drenched summer afternoons/evenings watching Wookey life go by on the front terrace are unforgettable.

Stayed here November 22 amazing food great little pub ,couldn't have been more welcome, would definitely recommend a visit

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, nice playlist in background and delicious pub food - fast service too.

Lovely village pub with great food and a warm welcome. Sunday roasts from 12 -8pm served with heaps of vegetables. Dogs are welcome too.

We ate here twice while we stayed within walking distance of Wookey We did call and book, I’m pleased we did as it’s not a big pub and they are popular! Quick service, didn’t face to wait too long for our orders, waitresses’ were great

Simply fantastic on every level! I had the roast lamb which was absolutely delicious😋

Sunday lunch today was fantastic, plenty of really good quality food and very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend 😊

We came here with a couple of friends after a good walk around Ebbor woods and gorge on a Sunday. The roast beef dinner was absolutely fantastic, possibly the best we've all had out for ages. Generous portions of meat, veg and gravy, all very tasty and washed down with a great pint of Guinness. With the roast at £13.50, we all left very happy! We'll be back.

Beautiful Sunday roast,ots of good quality meat and veg. By far the Best roast we have EVER had. Friendly staff and great service. Highly recommend.

Fantastic pub lunch. Great atmosphere. Warm welcome and fast, friendly service. Could not fault our food and thought it was excellent value for money. We had chicken, chorizo and mozzarella burgers. Yum!! Fab chips too 😋

Absolutely awesome food, enormous portions, extremely friendly staff. Probably the best value for money in the area

Cute a cosy country pub and the food is amazing! Huge portions great prices and would highly recommend!

We love Ring O'Bells. Best food, great staff and beautiful pub. 4 time there and many more to come.

Lamb Shank and Belly Pork were our choices on the mains menu. Well, both were cooked to perfection, the Lamb fell off the bone and the belly pork crackling was crisp and fluffy with tender pork meat. Deserts were Sticky Toffee pudding with custard and Ice Cream. Staff were very friendly and informative

Obviously a popular local and we were made welcome. Regional beer was very good. Food choice was good, large portions, very tasty and hot. We would definitely visit again.

Went for food sign said serving food form set times but bar said not until 1800h although sign out the front stated otherwise

Sadly we did not have a great experience here - we were practically ignored from the minute we stepped into the place. We reserved a table for dinner once we were served at the bar and came back to our table at that set time. We were frowned upon by the young girl as if she was questioning did we have a reservation… we were shown our table then promptly ignored. Managed to ask for menus when another girl showed some other customers their table, she apologised but thought it was funny ... And that’s where we sat waiting for someone else to return to take our order. 12-15 mins later we decided this wasn’t for us, no one had appeared at any time to check on us or the other customers who were all sat just looking around. We left and saw the three young girls at the bar idly chatting and giggling amongst themselves as if they had nothing else to do. Such a disappointment after the fabulous reviews… we must’ve picked the wrong night perhaps.

We attended the ring of bells on a Friday night after being recommended it by our hosts at The Old Ford Cottage. It was an excellent recommendation as the food atmosphere and service were great. We had one starter from the main menu, two specials and two desserts. Everything arrived in a timely Was cooked to perfection. I hardly recommend this pub and would definitely go back. This is no slight on the venue as it’s in a tiny village, but you may struggle for parking so get there early or be prepared to hunt for a space 😅

Staff where a bit abrupt and lacking personalty however, food decent and the atmosphere was good

I was with my family and it was great. Food and atmosphere.

Trying to find somewhere for some good local food and was recommended to eat here. What a recommendation! A proper village pub atmosphere with a very warm welcome. Fair priced drinks but the food was out of this world!! The portion size was huge! and the taste was, well Gordon Ramsey would have been impressed! We shall be back again.

Stopped off for lunch and what a find! Friendly staff and great food with good portion sizes.

Great value for money, great atmosphere, cosy and warm and full of life. Food was incredible had the pork belly which was crispy and juicy, had enough veg on the plate too!

What a brilliant pub! Loved the meals, great food. Good range of beer and cider including some local Wookey brews. Nice friendly staff too. Highly recommended, we look forward to returning!

Stopped in for a Sunday lunch, had the roast beef .it was absolutely gorgeous with a great looking pub .

Great food at reasonable price, on holiday, went there to eat on 3 consecutive, great every night. The bar staff welcomed us and couldn't have been more welcoming.

We were recommended this pub by the owner of a place we were staying at nearby and it exceeded . We were told the portions were massive and being a porker I dually tried ghem out . Had starter ..... mushrooms on toast ... big portion. Next the sweet chilly prawns with noodles...... massive . Feeling like a fat boy thought can I, yes of course, now pud , treacle sponge and custard. I had to be wheeled back !!!!!!! Staff great , evening great .

Excellent food, generous portions, reasonable prices, helpful staff, friendly locals; all in all a great find!

Have used this village pub on occasions over a period of 30 years and it is back to it's best times.

Beautiful pub with nice outside seating. Cider to die for :)

Nice little pub in wookey, massive portions of home cooked food. Lovely atmosphere too.

Good food nice little pub was a 10 min walk from Wilky farm where we camped

Brilliant pub. Warm and welcoming, and the staff were present and welcoming as well. The food was lovely. The portion sizes are big so you definitely won't go hungry. The price is really good for the amount of food and the quality. I liked that there were traditional pub food options available and some options that were not usually found on a pub menu. Loved it and will visit again.

We just had an amazing roast dinner for £13.50! The portions are huge and the cauliflower cheese was a delicious bonus. The service was great and everyone was friendly. What a great find.

Lovely little pub, with big portions

Simply a brilliant pub and food

Despite this place being with you high reviews, we went to try their Sunday roast. I was disappointed to say the least. Their food was awful. Perhaps for drinks this place is amazing but I do not recommend to have a good here....

We arrived after booking a table for four great welcome. We decided to eat outside as the weather was good .. can’t recommend the Fish and Chips enough two of the party had the Steak night ( Thursday’s) get a free drink. All perfect! We will be be back !

A bit of delay for drinks and staff attention but forgiven as the food over shadowed that. Well and truly fab food beautiful selection of veg other than peas and carrots, meat melt in the mouth and the salad was more of a picnic for two. Again lovely meal no reason not to go back

Amazing Sunday roast. Best crackling ever. Great service and lovely locals atmosphere. Can't wait to return .

Booked for lunch on 5th August 2023 as staying local for the night, a party of four adults and two children, the staff were very welcoming and the food was so good, childrens meals of fish and chips priced at just £7 were huge! I opted for the vegetarian pasta dish which was the nicest pasta dish I have ever tasted, two of the party had lasagne and another the gnocchi dish, everyone commented how tasty their lunch was and clearly everything was home made...Highly recommend!

Great fish n chips, friendly staff, nice rural location. Islander beer was great.

Wow what a lovely place, just been here for evening meal, food was amazing and plate was full, I’m stuffed !! None of this fancy pants mini food but super tasting well cooked meals. Most my daughter as ate in ages she even managed space for desert which looked yummy. The young lady who served us was wonderful, always had a smile and nothing was too much even though the place was packed out, all the staff were busy but friendly and helpful. I recommended anyone in the area stop at this place even if just a drink. I didn’t take any pictures as I was too engrossed in my food

Fabulous food ! Gamin steak with Stilton sauce and leek mash was delicious, as was the lamb steak - cooked to perfection. Thank you.

Amazing place, easy to find and Jack even showed us the hunting horn and blew it! The food is amazing a proper cut above normal pub grub. I give it 6/5 😊

Fantastic meal, perfect pudding would recommend if you're in the area. Thanks again. 👍

On a recent camping trip to Somerset, our family recently had the pleasure of dining at the Ring 'o' Bells in Wookey, and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent, and the meal exceeded our expectations. We visited the restaurant with our two daughters and son. The generous portions and the choice on offer surprised me for such a quiet, unassuming pub tucked away in a quiet corner of the village. The children ordered the Lamb Steak, Sirloin, and RibEye Steak, and they devoured every bite. They had a good attempt at the sides, too, but couldn't quite finish it all! The quality of the meat was outstanding, and it was cooked to perfection. The fact that even the children enjoyed their meals speaks volumes about the quality of the food. The desserts were equally delightful, and our entire family savoured every last spoonful. The variety of options made it difficult to choose, but we were not disappointed with our selections. The flavours were rich and indulgent, ending our meal on a high note. What stood out to us even more was the specials board. The range of options available was impressive, and my husband and I couldn't resist trying two of the dishes. The Pork Rib special was divine - tender, succulent, and flavorful. The portion size was exceptionally generous, and we certainly left the restaurant completely satisfied. On top of the incredible food, the service we received was fantastic. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and attended to our every need. Their friendly and attentive nature was a pleasant surprise and greatly enhanced our dining experience. Overall, our visit to the Ring 'o' Bells was a delightful surprise. The exceptional food, generous portions, and outstanding service exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Wookey or the surrounding area. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

We was really looking forward to coming to your pub, it was hard to find on the sat nav and when we did get there parking was really hard. Not much of a welcome when we came in . For sunday there was only a roast i don't mind i love a roast. The food was good i would of liked my meat sliced more thinly. Staff was kind on serving us. But all threw the meal there was someone blowing a horn and a man at the bar was just staring apparently at one of our group. It did feel a little uncomfortable and its a shame. Once again when we left no good bye or anything.

The bar staff seemed slightly irritated when I asked what bottled drinks they had. The locals were friendly though.

Superb meal, best we've had for ages. Huge portions, lovely staff, couldn't fault a thing. We were lucky to pick steak night so it was even better. Will definitely go there again if we're in the area.

A traditional village country pub, still retains its 14th century features with huge fireplaces at each end of bar / restaurant. Atmosphere is friendly and welcoming with most of the customers being local. Well worth a diversion off the "B" road to go into the historic village and drop in for coffee,lunch or supper. Even as a local myself I would still book a table for dinner even midweek, don't assume it will be quite and sleepy. There's a large bar and seating inside and out, Tonight 3 of us went for traditional pub grub supper, terrific ! Proper size plates, proper homemade meals with hot food up to the rim. Proper job ! as they say a bit further West. Despite thinking "I'll never eat that much" half hour later I'm mopping the plate with my last chip, but couldn't manage a dessert. Everything a British country village pub should be , untouched...unlike by those made over fake townie pubs. P.s can't really comment on veggie or other other preferences did notice Gluten free. Accessibility, there is a step up but plenty of locals and farmers to help manhandle you if needed.

Lovely meal, large portions. Dog friendly too

Came in randomly from the wookey hole hotel after the missus booked the ring of bells 20 miles away to find a fantastic setting very vibrant staff and probably one of the Best ribeye steaks I've ever had the pleasure of Well done all involved Smartie and Lisa x

Great little pub, had good food and the service was very quick and friendly. We were quite a large group of 11, and we had a nice room to all sit in which was handy for keeping everyone together. We all had Sunday lunch and it was all very good quality and plenty of it! I don’t think there was a grass area like a beer garden, but they did have tables at the front and there is a play park just a few mins walk away.

Such a lovely meal and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It lost one star on the food because the beef was a bit chewy and the knives were hot very sharp. But that aside it didn't take anything away from the rest of the meal. We had a lovely experience.

Gorgeous Sunday roast. £13'ish with a super generous portion of meat. Roast pots definitely not like at home, but everything else was perfection. Loved the amount of veg we got in hot side dishes - absolutely stuffed us. Cauliflower cheese as a side for free too, gorgeous. Good selection of drinks and the staff were kind and helpful.

Mid week lunchtime, Excellent meal. Reasonably priced and good service

Huge portions, good food and excellent service. A great experience!

Best food I have tasted in a long time, excellent service highly recommended. Thursday night steak night brilliant.

Beautiful little pub food was excellent and delicious and very generous portions wish I lived nearby would definitely go again

What can I say, delicious roast dinner and cheesecake to follow 😋 Harriet went above and beyond and even arranged a lift for myself and my 4 friends home to Wookey hole as no Taxi's were available.

Had a TV with fish on that was paused the whole time. Honestly, that's how fish should be, so I respected that very much. Huge food portions that made you want to give what's left to said fish, but unfortunately, it's not possible.

A lovely pub with friendly staff and great food at very reasonable prices. We visited on our first evening in the village and were lucky enough to get a table. The menu had a nice variety of choices and I opted for fish and chips. The portions were very generous and well cooked. We enjoyed our meals with a couple of glasses of cider. We booked a table for the last day of our visit and were equally impressed. I ordered the hunters chicken on this occasion and actually couldn't finish it due to the size, and I love my food! There's free wifi in the pub.

Friendly and Charming pub in centre of Wookey village. Good selection of real ales, well kept. Outside seating for sunny days. Serves home cooked food most days

A pub not to missed, great beer brilliant food

Excellent Sunday lunch, large portions, very friendly staff, very dog friendly, all in all a great experience, thank you

Delicious Sunday lunch. Lovely friendly staff.
