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 :-)

Last night, we stopped there for a few drinks (only a half for me as the driver!) and were absolutely stunned. The selection of real ales is impressive and very well-kept and served. The landlord is extremely welcoming, pleasant and knowledgeable, but the pub itself.. Well, to say it is amazing is to do the landlord an injustice. As can be seen by the photos, the pub has an incredible amount of memorabilia; seemingly, most from the war years (no, I won't specify which wars!) but also an eclectic collection of anything that interests anybody. There are musical instruments throughout the rooms, a plethora of cameras of all eras, uniforms from forces, services and old schoolsI could go on all day. We all decided that it would take a full day just to sample the excellent drinks and to look around, then were told that they serve good food during the day as well. If this pub was closer to civilisation, it would be crowded out at all times.

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!

Really quaint and some lovely features and touches (real fire, piano,seperate bar and lounge) Think the staff said they do 25 draught beers and real ale and cider, one was erdinger a german wheat beer..unusual. Amazing prices too on beer and food cheaper than weatherspoons. A place for couples or friends but they dont allow children (which is fine with me as its a cozy small place) If you havent tried it do give it a go, I will be back for sure in fact going tomorrow

The interior is clean and newly refurbished and the welcome is warm and friendly. At this time the Robin Hood is offering food of a high standard on a 'two main meals for £10' offer. There is a good selection and the meal is lovely, service with a smile too. They normally serve from 12.00 to 7pm or 8pm so you could have midday meal or evening meal. Outside is a well managed beer garden which is fenced off and peaceful. I would highly recommend this place and hope you enjoy it as much as I have if you decide to give it a try.

This is a very pleasant and welcoming community pub. We went in as complete strangers and enjoyed…read moreevery minute spent there as the staff and the local customers were friendly. 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).

It is cheap and cheerful on the food front, burgers, steaks, surf 'n turf etc. as well as regular pub favourites such as steak pie, lasagne and curry. I chose a cheeseburger which came with fries. It was OK, it had a flame grilled taste but it had the texture of a cheap burger really. It was perfectly edible though and I polished the lot off :-) Service was smashing, efficient and friendly from both the bar staff and the waiting staff and the pub was very busy at the time as Haydock Park races were holding an evening meeting and people were stopping off for a drink en route. Only two cask beers were on, Black Sheep and Golden Hen, I had the Black Sheep which was fine and dandy. A pleasant enough pub really, I can't say I'd go out of my way to seek out Flaming Grill pubs in the future but I wouldn't go out of my way to avoid them either.
