About
The Ring of Bells is a proper local favourite that delivers a bang for the buck. Most diners love the table service and the high-quality cask ales. While it gets packed, the staff usually handle the rush with a smile. The Sunday roast is a standout, though some find the table sizes a bit tight for larger groups.
