Ring O'Bells hits the right floral note at Village Show

The Ring O’Bells, one of the top 20 pubs in the nation, as recognised by key industry figures, has won the best floral display at the annual Christleton Village Show.

The landmark pub, which also won the Family Friendly Award at the Chester Food & Drink Festival in April, entered the Best Hanging Basket competition at the Christleton fete and won a trophy for gaining first prize.

Owner of the Ring O’ Bells and Modern British Taverns, Ian Wade has watered the baskets outside the pub regularly in the hot weather and spoke a few words of wisdom:

“We are delighted to have won this competition, although it’s not the winning that counts but being a good competitor. We are pleased to hold the trophy and to go beyond the limits of just being one of the top 20 pubs in the nation.”

The Ring O’Bells also won Silver at the Chester Food & Drink Festival 2009 Gala Awards in the best Newcomer category.

Ring O’Bells

• ‘Time’ was called at the Ring O’Bells in Christleton recently 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 .
