We love to come here every time we visit family in the area. Always great service, and choice of drinks is excellent. We've had food here once before, which was really good, and the beer garden in the back when the weather is nice is an added bonus.

14 of us had our Christmas lunch at The Ring of Bells. They were so accommodating with our booking and made it so easy. The menu was great, food delicious and staff amazing. We had a lovely time and hope to book again next year.

We were absolutely delighted to have another lovely work Christmas Lunch at The Ring of Bells. As usual, food and customer service didn't disappoint! Very warm, welcoming atmosphere in well maintained space with an amazing food. A great choice of food for three course meal that needed to be pre-ordered. No photos of food, as food was disappearing from plates so fast that I haven't had a chance to take one ? Highly recommended for group outings. We sure will be back again!

This was a lovely pub for drinking, with a stylish curved counter! The design is historical including the layout with glasses and designs on walls, staff were friendly too. I enjoyed a bottle of Corona Extra, sitting comfortably at classy seating!

Excellent pub and very welcoming. Log fire and dog friendly. The owner/manager is hands on and personally welcomes everyone to his pub and know all the locals by name!Sadly we went on the busiest seasonal day and therefore could not sample their food but the pre booked party meals looked fab!

Food was lovely, couldn't fault that but the deal breaker for me is the no cash policy. I eat out a lot and this new thing of not taking cash in restaurants is a real problem for me and will prevent me from returning. It is a real

Visited here with friends for a 60th birthday meal.The problem we had was the rugby was on in the main bar , with the volume up full blast , you could hardly hear yourself talk.Perhaps in future the ring of bells could take this in to account when seating people who have gone there to enjoy a peaceful evening .Why not seat people out of the way upstairs ..A little inconsiderate and lack of thought byThe ring of bells on this occasion.in response to your reply , the fact that a once in a four yearrugby tournament was being screened,Is no excuse for the management to seat customers right next to the bar knowing how noisy it would be.We were not there for the rugby ,but to have a nice evening meal and pleasant experience.Any half decent customer focused establishment,Would have made the customer aware of this and given the chance to rebook.On this occasion it appears taking customers money was of more importance than them being able to enjoy a evening meal in peace.

Had an amazing meal at this pub two lunchtimes on the trot it was so good. Both service and meal. we’re excellent, just what we were looking for on our short visit to Taunton. Wished we lived nearer. Also a great atmosphere. We had seafood chowder and blade of beef first day both excellent and on second visit the venison and a rib eye. Good pint and nice crisp sauvignon blanc ?

This is obviously a very popular place for the regulars who use it. The food truly was delicious, but when we went in, we felt we were not particularly welcome. The staff seemed a little cold toward us and we felt pushed to get done and go. We felt very uncomfortable with the staff scrutinising our every mouthful as if to say hurry up. Not for us I'm afraid, prefer a warm welcome.

Went to The Ring of Bells for the first time today, we were a party of 4 and we all had the Sunday roast. The food was excellent as was the service, we’ll definitely be going back.

Great pub just off the main shopping area of Taunton. We were a party of eight, sat on the same table comfortably.Sunday roast was great, my wife had the crab and was very happy. Afterwards we retired to the outside area at the back as it was cooler. Attentive and friendly team, we really enjoyed our visit.
