I'm shocked that I've not reviewed the ring of bells.
After moving fairly locally, we were recommended to try their food. From the first visit we were made to feel like family, and have been regulars ever since.
The food is outstanding: a surprising mix of traditional British and Asian. The menu regularly is changing and never short of something interesting and delicious.
We have two young kids who are usually relatively well behaved when eating out, but definitely have their moments. The team always make us feel welcome and know how to engage little ones.

And avoid the ice cream (lumps of solid ice). Very embarrassing taking in laws there recently as a (supposedly) birthday treat, we won't do that again. But we love the pub in the winter: it's friendly and cosy, the hot meals are delicious and the staff are cheerful. Just need more...
