Strongers . left this review about Ring O'Bells
Ring O’Bells is a roadside Flaming Grill pub with a large patio full of picnic tables around the two road facing sides of the pub and car parking is found around the rear. The serving counter up the left-hand wall supports standard and premium keg alongside four hand pumps, three of which were in use drawing Greene King IPA, Abbot Ale and Old Speckled Hen. In the left-rear corner is a raised area with a pool table and dartboard, both of which were being used by vocal young adults during a recent Monday bank holiday evening. In the right-hand side of the pub is open plan seating that is broken up by some supporting pillars. Sky Sports was muted on the televisions throughout while some very modern chart music played in the background. The GK Sizzling Chain is OK for a cheap stomach lining meal, but not a lot else in my opinion.

When i first went in the Ring 'O' Bells it was an Home Ales tied house with a couple of rooms and a decent drink of Home Ales Bitter on the bar.
The pub has changed quite a lot since my first visit and is now a single roomed pub,the room is now square shaped with the bar facing on entry,it is carpeted and the seating bench type to the front and on the right side,there are normal tables and chairs in the middle of the room and american diner seating on the right side,there is a pool table and darts board to the front left.
There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of GK London Glory,which was a decent enough drink,the other real ale was GK Abbot.
The pub now operates under the Flaming Grill banner,so food is a big draw here,but it is still a proper pub.
Quite busy on my Saturday afternoon visit.
