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!

We ordered drinks and food at the bar on a tab then chose a lovely table in a window bay. We both ordered the steak sandwich which came with onions, tomato chutney and chips. At under £10 it was good value, although did require mustard and pepper to jazz it up a bit! It was a shame it was chucking it down with rain so we couldn't appreciate the outdoor area - which looked like it had good potential. Nice pub that I'd visit again if I was in the area.

The pub isn't that old! It has a wonderful selection of well-served food and excellent beer. The welcome is warm and I felt very comfortable as soon as I went in. I don't know about the Ladies, but the gents is tiled with some extremely funny, Heath Robinson type illustrations. Update; 28.03.2016 Took the family there to watch the Thelwall Morris Men dancing out for Easter. As it happens, we were too late and missed the dance, but stayed for a drink and a meal. We were four adults and two "littlies" (almost 3 and 18 months old). The service was superb - the young ones were well looked after and the meals were just excellent. Some may be put off by the prices, but the quality and quantity made it worthwhile. The only quibble we had was that the real ales cost a pound more per pint than we are used to in other Warrington hostelries, but the quality, again, could not be faulted. The atmosphere in the pub is excellent and I would unhesitatingly recommend it to singles, couples, families and any combination - even dogs seemed to enjoy it!

With most of the local high school students preferring to drink elsewhere the Bull's Head tends to attract an older clientele. This allows the place to revel in its traditional values of comfort and quality. The real fireplace and polished brass fittings give it that classic country pub feel, which is amplified by the decent selection of real ales and welcoming staff. However, if a quiet drink is what you're after you might be disappointed. Due to its small size it gets full quickly and thus can become quite noisy but this never affects the generally social atmosphere. This is simply a traditional village pub where old English standards are upheld.

Its traditional décor and friendly staff make it a warm place to dwell and the reasonable prices combined with a larger-than-average selection of Ales will keep most drinkers happy. It's a cosy place that's always packed on weekends so perhaps go elsewhere for more spacious drinking. However, due to its size the atmosphere is always buzzing and as a result it'd definitely be on my pub-crawl list.

It is a rather quiet English pub out in the country, with the rather charming interior that you would expect from a lot of these pubs. However, it also has a huge beer garden, which is delightful in summer, though I do have to admit that I've really only been in England during the summer so I haven't exactly experienced the worst that weather has to offer. Still, yeah, it's a rather nice pub.

I was at the Hatton Arms last night for my cousin's 18th birthday with all the family. What a…read morelovely pub! It's set just outside the charming village of Stockton Heath and has that country pub feel without having to venture too far from civilisation. The bar stocks some good ales but I opted for Old Mout Cider, a fruity little number that was perhaps a bit too easy to drink, hence a sore head this morning. There's a lovely beer garden out the back with picnic tables, parasols and plenty of grass space for kids to run around. Staff are friendly and the locals seem like decent folk ( I certainly didn't spot any track suits, which is always a good sign). Food wise, we were treated to a delicious buffet of Thai fish cakes, chicken wings, salad and pulled pork, which was delicious. So judging by this, I would imagine their everyday food menu is pretty good too.

That said it was my mother in laws birthday and I knew they were eating there in the evening with friends. I called up the pub to see if I could order a surprise birthday cake and pay over the phone. Although they said that they did not make birthday cakes they were happy to go to the local bakery and get me one I called up on the night not really expecting that they had as I had not been asked to pay anything. To my delight they had got the cake and I ordered a bottle of reasonably priced champagne at the same time. They couldn't have been more helpful even to the point of calling me back to say that my mother in law had almost been in tears when they gave her the champagne and told them my message. When the time for the cake came, they had added candles and the whole restaurant sang happy birthday. All in all they were great and made my mother in laws birthday really special!

To drink I settled on a strawberry lemonade to rehydrate. The calories on the menu did dishearten me my trio was apparently near the 2k mark but when I mentally dissected it I could not equate to that number..yes I find it triggering so made sure I ate only half of it lol The portion was generous, massive Yorkshire, pork cracking, beef, pork belly and chicken, With a roasted whole carrot, parsnip, broccoli and potatoes. We did ask for more gravy as advertised! Everything was cooked beautifully and the service was genuine. Overall apart from the menus which I still think they should offer people different versions of aka one with calories and one without I really enjoyed my experience here and would come back!

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).
