The Ring Of Bells - Mid Devon

Superb food and service at this lovely Devon pub. Could not be better. Great local beer, and good wine list. Menu was really interesting and all 10 of us were impressed. Also good value, for such high quality. Every dish would be happy in any fine dining restaurant. I loved it!!

We visited this pretty, thatched pub for Sunday lunch and were met with a warm welcome, despite being quite early for our booking! The young staff were smiley, friendly and very efficient. As it was a sunny afternoon they set up a table in the lovely garden for us. The food was simply divine. The crab linguine starter was perfectly portioned and a good balance of flavours. The rib of beef we had for our main course was meltingly tender, the accompanying vegetables beautifully cooked and presented. My daughter had the slow cooked pork, which was devoured before I could try any! I didn't really have room for pudding but the chocolate and cinnamon pots were too tempting to miss. Served with mini churros, they were sublime. The landlady keeps a selection of local ales, Telus A Story was particularly good. All in all, a perfect Sunday lunch at a pub that masters everything a really good pub should be. If Cheriton Fitzpaine wasn't 200 miles away we'd be here every week!

We had made a reservation for Sunday lunch. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrive and the service we received was excellent throughout. We had heard the food was good, but I was surprised by just how good it was- some of the best food I have had from a pub in Devon. I normally only have two courses, but it was so tasty I had three courses and would love to come back and try more of the menu. If I could give more than five stars, I would.

Had the most lovely dinner at this traditional, welcoming and friendly pub. The quality of the dishes were amazing. Myself and my son had the Roast Duck which was simply delicious, my husband has a roast beef which he thoroughly enjoyed. My youngest is very fussy so we just ordered him a chicken drumstick starter but he said it was lovely. We then had different desserts one sticky toffee, one chocolate cake, an ice cream and a passion fruit and strawberry meringue and each one of us enjoyed our individual dishes and the dishes we dried of each other. Our dog was with us and being only the second time he has been somewhere like that he was quite loud especially when he thought another dog was trying to befriend his best human or his treats but the lady was very. understanding. Amazing food and friendly staff ideal after a long walk along the Devonshire country lanes X

Four people, three courses, 12 cleared plates, says everything and the beer and wine were equally enjoyable. Add to this that all the staff were friendly knowledgeable tells me that you need to search this pub out. Well worth it.
