About this restaurant

Situated in Widcombe, close to the centre of the famous spa city of Bath, the Ring O Bells is a two minute walk from Bath Spa railway and bus stations, and close to Bath Rugby and Cricket grounds. Most definitely a family run pub and restaurant serving seasonal food using locally sourced ingredients, the Ring O Bells welcomes you with a warm, intimate atmosphere. A wide selection of beers, real ale from Moles of Melksham and international wines are available, along with delicious and varied menus including everything from generous tapas with homemade bread to Sunday lunch, plus a la carte fine dining and a good selection of vegetarian dishes. You'll find live jazz in the bar every Sunday evening, and events in the separate upstairs function room, which is also perfect for your private parties. This country feel gastropub with flagstone floors and large tables is a great place to meet with friends and eat good food at any time of the week.

    Very pleasant evening spent eating really nice food in a pleasant environment served by friendly and helpful staff. The only think I would say is the wine menu is a little narrow and begins at £16-95 which is fairly steep for a basic wine Otherwise I'd eat here again when visiting Bath

    Decided to book this a a change from eating in central Bath and it didn't disappoint. Interesting menu choices had us all being indecisive, they all looked so good. All four in the party agreed that the food was superb, would highly recommend.

    Went to Ring O Bells at the weekend. Overall had a good experience, nice atmosphere and the waitress was very friendly and helpful, especially when there was a problem with one of the dishes. Only thing was we had been told a vegan option could be arranged by the chefs on the day for one person, only to be told they were too busy to put some fruit together on a plate for dessert. I understand it was Saturday night but a little disappointing. Overall would recommend, lovely steak & dauphinoise potatoes!

    An excellent small pub with food. Very accommodating staff particularly as we had a late Sunday evening booking due to a misunderstanding. Excellent service, value, good wines, delicious tapas. Also enjoyed the jazz!

    Like a lot of restaurants these days this venue suffers from very poor acoustic control due to absence of soft furnishings. The reverberant noise level gets higher and higher which makes it a very unpleasant place to dine when you can't hear your own table guests conversation. It's a shame because the general ambience looks very appealing and the restaurant is full of character. The food prices are on the high side which would be understandable if the quality was also of the highest standard. Although the presentation was very good we were disappointed with the quantity of food and surprised to have to pay extra for vegetables. The rib eye steak was tough and so too was the venison.

    Delicious food in a relaxed pub atmosphere. Scrubbed tables. We'd recommend it to anyone who likes good food and isn't looking for a cheap night out. That's to say there is thought and effort here and it deserves to be popular.

    This visit was on a Tuesday evening, and every table was occupied. As on the previous two visits, the food was excellent and imaginative. My trout on Ear Grey risotto with quails' eggs was excellent, as was the rib-eye steak and the best chips I can remember. Drinks are very reasonably priced which is probably the result of trying to walk the tricky tightrope of being a good local restaurant and a local pub. I think Ash and his team have managed to do it. My first visit here with two friends was the first time the three of us had eaten out where everyone was pleased with their choice, but were also impressed by everyone else's choices. It was also the only time I have had to order two desserts! Don't tell the doctor.

    The food was extremely good, especially for the price. We had the Sunday night tapas and it was delicious. Accompanied by very pleasant jazz and a cracking chocolate parfait to finish. Very hard to fault!
