Ring O Bells

Head down to Widcombe Parade and you'll find yourself in one of Bath's most unpretentious corners, where the Ring O Bells sits doing exactly what a good local should: getting it right without any fuss. The kind of place where regulars prop up the bar mid-week and families drift in for Sunday lunch without feeling like they're intruding on anyone's territory. You're looking at solid pub food—the sort that doesn't try too hard but doesn't cut corners either—paired with a decent selection of ales that rotate properly. It's warm without being twee, lively without being lairy, and the sort of spot you'll keep recommending to mates because it's genuinely good rather than because it's fashionable.
