Ring o'Bells, Lancaster

Bucking Fastard left this review about Ring o'Bells

Reopened in December 2025 after 4 years of neglect and some issues with intruders,it's a work in progress but has lots of original features.The portico around the front door is attractive and there is good mosaic tiling while the interior is rather worn but has a front snug to the right,a larger seating area to the left with a real fireplace and the bar to the right.On the corridor to the rear room a section of the original wattle & daub has been exposed behind a screen.The rear room has a pool table and darts board before the door to a garden reached by steep irregular stone steps which extends way back .It's all a bit untidy but there are decent plants growing while the metal staircase at the end of the garden is blocked off but may have given pub access for visitors to the chapel behind which may account for the pub name.
There is lots of music events here and the team are trying to create a community feel.The welcome was most friendly.Food come in the shape of pies and burritos.
Ales on my visit Bowness Bay Fell Walker,Saltaire Titus and Kirkby Lonsdale x Charles Farm Equinox (NBSS barely Acceptable ).Maybe the ales are also a work in progress but I really appreciate the effort to reopen a small town centre boozer and wish the team well for future success.
