About This Pub
Ah, the Ring O Bells in Loughborough is one of those pubs that just feels like a reliable old mate – always there when you fancy a bite and a bevvy. From the reviews, it's clear folks rave about the food; those flame-grilled burgers and steaks are proper crowd-pleasers, and it's all served up in a family-friendly setting that's great for casual meet-ups. The live sports action, like the Women's Euros or rugby tours, really gets the atmosphere buzzing, and with prices that won't break the bank, it's easy to see why it's a favourite. On the downside, though, it can get a bit hectic during busy spells, leading to slower service that might leave you waiting a tad longer than you'd like, and there are occasional moans about food not being quite up to scratch every time. Overall, it's a solid spot for a relaxed evening out, as long as you pop in when it's not too mad – just remember to keep expectations realistic for a typical pub experience.

absolutely amazing place!
our favourite for food with family and friends and a drink!
First time dining at the ring o bells and the whole experience was amazing from start to finish the staff were so polite and helpful nothing was too much. They were very attentive. The pricing is fantastic and the standards are even better. The food was incredible even to the point we had dessert. Everything was well presented. Such a clean and welcoming environment. We will definitely be returning
Food is usually decent pub grub.
Service can be a little slow at times when it's busy - the bar staff are pleasant and work hard.
A good atmosphere and decent entertainment sometimes
Visited backing Feb. Watching the England game. The pub was really busy, so service took longer than usual but expected. The food was nice and reasonably priced.
Spot on from start to finish on 1st trip but this time was different. Been here few times and only bad once.
Undercooked chips and the mango chicken burger was all fat and gristle.
When told staff wasn't bothered poor service yes it was busy then on another day there brill
