Paella Fiesta at Ring O'Bells 2nd Birthday

A community joined in the spicy celebrations at a family-friendly pub in a Cheshire village.

A giant paella dish was on the menu at The Ring O’Bells in Christleton, where local band MoCo rocked the night away. There was fun for all the family in the day, with face painting, a children’s entertainer, beat the goalie competition, games, a raffle and a BBQ.

The Ring O’Bells has also been shortlisted in the family category to the last eight in the Morning Advertiser’s Great British Pub Awards. The Ring O’Bells won the industry magazine’s North West title for the second year running; the Chester pub will find out on Thursday (September 9) at an Awards ceremony in London if it has beaten the winners from the seven other regions.

Owner of The Ring O’Bells and Modern British Taverns, Ian Wade, said:
“This was a great celebration. Thanks to everyone for coming out and celebrated with us, as well as for the community’s support over the last two years.”

Ian has also been in training over the last few months before embarking on September 17 on a gruelling eight day high altitude climb of Kilimanjaro to raise money for Christleton based charity Children Today.

Ring O’Bells

• ‘Time’ was called at the Ring O’Bells in Christleton in 2008 when successful local pub entrepreneurs Ian Wade and Adam Johnson of Modern British Taverns transformed the celebrated Christleton landmark at the heart of one of Cheshire’s Best Kept Villages. The Ring O’Bells is now at the centre of village life as well as being a destination pub for great surroundings, great food and great hospitality.

• The interior has been completely revamped and remodelled with an improved, more welcoming layout. There are big changes to the menu, superb wines and guest beers, much more excitement and a real reason to come inside.

• New seasonal menus with local produce always available.

• The Ring O’Bells is mentioned on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christleton and Facebook http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19580304729 .
