AMAZING!!! As far as I remember this place has won pub food…read moreof the year ever year since Ive lived in the area. Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

A good menu selection of good, homely, traditional English pub food with the additional 'special' thrown in for good measure. Superb, great hosts and comfortable surroundings.

We were staying in a caravan park just down the road and needed a place to eat in the evening. We…read morecame across this delightful pub within a few minutes of searching. We spent the remainder of our holidays here, every evening. Nestling by a brook full of eels. The pubs dog, Jasper, loved to just stand in the cooling water on the hot evenings that we experienced this July. Sufficient room to sit outside with plenty of tables. Service is second to none. Professional, efficient and, more to the point, friendly. Great selection of real ales, my favourite was the Cromwell. Now to the reason for frequenting this hostelry, the food. A reasonable menu taking into account the position of this pub. A good varied choice of fresh seafood, burgers, curries and steaks. We tried most of them and they all were extremely tasty. All cooked to order. Great mussels in white wine. Behind the bar is a blackboard describing their Naga 'Viper' curry made with, 'officially', the hottest chilli pepper. Underneath is written 'Curries ordered 528, curries eaten 400' LOL. I love hot curries but, even I, would not attempt it. We hope to make a return visit next year. Many thanks to the 'guvner', his wife, the staff (especially the chef and kitchen staff) for making our short holiday break a total delight. See you again.

They have seating outside so you can have a beer whilst admiring the old church and scenery and a large beer garden at the back, making it the perfect place to visit on a sunny day. Inside the pub is nice and cosy with comfy chairs, exposed beams and an old fashioned fire place. The food at the Rams head is also very good. They serve high end pub grub and in the week you can take advantage of their offer where 3 courses with a bottle of wine costs £16.95 per person. They also have a happy hour drinks between 3pm and 6pm, weekdays only.

You get a little biscuit with your tea or coffee too! bonus ;-) Would have got 5 but for the fact I tried the chips and though home made, they didnt taste that great. I am sure the rest of the food is lovely, it looks good from what i see as they serve people near me, the chips just werent for me, also no skimmed milk on my last visit, just whole milk so had to have a cup of tea rather than a latte. being picky really.. it really is a nice place :-)

The food is quality and there is a good choice of bar food, early evening set menu or a la carte in a rural location. Steeped in history, the walls are adorned with tales & legends. Open from noon until 2.00pm for lunchtime meals and then evening food is served from 5.30pm until 9.30pm. Or if you just fancy a drink then there is a warm friendly atmosphere and you will get some peace and quite.

The Ring O'Bells is a lovely little pub tucked away next to the imposing Parish Church of St…read moreElphin's, at the end of Church Street. It's easy to find, as St Elphin's 280ft spire - the third highest of any parish church in England - provides a perfect landmark. The pub is part of an attractive clutch of old buildings next to the church, and is Grade II Listed, although unfortunately there's a large Sainsbury's plonked opposite. Inside, it feels more like a country pub than a town pub: lots of tucked away seating areas (ideal for family or social groups) give it a cosy feel, with some old beams on the ceiling providing the right atmosphere. Real ale fans are well catered for with two regulars and three guest ales, although one of the latter was off on our visit. The food menu is extensive and features traditional pub grub, with main meals, baguettes, sandwiches and baked potatoes. There's a good vegetarian selection, too, and staff were friendly and helpful. The 10 minute walk to the pub from Warrington Town Centre passes several other old pubs, also serving real ale, on Buttermarket Street and Church Street, which would make for a perfect real ale pub crawl, ending at the Ring O'Bells. There's a bus stop a few yards away to get you back to the bus station, if needed!

The beers served are all the usual; Guinness, 1664 lager, Strongbow etc. but, as it is a Holt's pub, there is quite a selection of real ales with four handpumps, all different ales. There are also two large Holt's dispensers which appear to be for keg Holt's. The wines and spirits selection seems to be quite comprehensive. From 12 noon until 8pm food is served from a select, but interesting menu at very reasonable prices. During these times, also, children are allowed in, provided they are supervised the few in during our visit were very well behaved. The furniture and decor is impressively welcoming, clean and fairly new-looking with some different pictures rural landscapes and similar, rather than the usual fake antiques. The bar has a large screen tv with Sky Sports available and there is a partially separate pool room. The beer garden is quite a size, with plenty of seating at picnic tables and is mostly paved, but with a small grassed area. The car park is large enough to cater for almost the whole area and has a dedicated row of spaces for disabled next to the entrance doors. For those, like myself, who prefer not to have to drive, three local bus routes stop very close (Shetland Close bus-stop).

Very traditional style of exposed bricks and wooden beams by here is a large car park situated at the side with ample parking. The staff are very attentive and knowledgeable and quick to serve and respond. There is a few little tucked away tables and is especially good for large tables. The food was very well presented and good hearty portions. It's also quite moderately priced. The wine is a little pricey for a country pub but there is a wide ranging choice. I would definitely go hear again. It's also great for the oldies and my fussy Bugga of Nan loved it.
