Ring O' Bells

The Ring O' Bells is a historic real ale pub in Kirkland, Kendal, sitting alongside Kendal Parish Church on consecrated ground since 1741. Said to be the only pub of its kind in the UK, it has welcomed visitors for over 280 years with rumoured guests including Bonnie Prince Charlie and Charles Dickens among them. Six rotating cask ales are kept naturally cool in the cellar with the latest selection chalked up on the board daily. The kitchen serves pub classics and a Sunday roast, making it a solid choice for a proper sit down meal. Outside seating is available and the pub regularly hosts live music and karaoke nights. Dog friendly and full of character, the Ring O' Bells is a brilliant spot for locals and tourists looking for an authentic Kendal pub with a story behind it.
