This used to be a really downtrodden pub that was well past it's sell by date, however what a…read morerevamp it has now had. It is now an absolutely gorgeous carvery with stunning decor and great service. There is an opulent luxury feel when you step into the entrance and this is carried on throughout the pub with expensive chandaliers, fireplaces, etc. The pub has a standard menu, but is more famous for the carvery menu, which is always gorgeous. It can get a little busy at the weekends and then the service is a little slow, but on the whole you always have a great experience here. It is definitely highly recommended.

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!

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.

It is clean and well-looked-after, with a large open space, but opportunities to have a quieter corner of wanted. The beers are the usual national brews with the addition of three handpumps dispensing from the Hydes set of ales. Today's wasa choice of Hydes Original Bitter, Hydes Finest and O'Finnegan's Stout. All of these were extremely tasty and beautifully kept and served the cellarman is to be complimented! For those who need to know, this is on the bus routes numbered 17, 18 and 18A The 18A actually turns around near to the pub for its return journey. I should also add that, for others, there is ample parking space at the front.

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).

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 :-)

It's a friendly pub, with alcoves and areas where you can gather a group of friends to talk and enjoy good beers and ales. The food is good, standard pub fare, served with a smile and a reasonable bill at the end. I've been here on my own, with family and as prt of a staff celebration with 30 odd people (very odd, some of them!) and the staff cope well.

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!
