This seems a good opportunity to remind users that negative comments about local businesses are not accepted on this forum, especially from anonymous users. This section of the forum is for recommendations. As I have said many times before, if you wish to post something negative then I may leave it on if you include your real name, address, telephone number and email address so that the target of your comments can get in touch with you (instead of me) to discuss them with you.
My own view on the Ring o' Bells is that it is an exceptionally good community pub, probably the best in Marple, and I am looking forward to several pints of well kept bitter this evening at the quiz night that will raise funds for Friends of Marple Memorial Park. During the current landlord's tencancy, and previous ones, the Ringers has raised substantial amounts of money for the Friends of the Park and many other local charities and good causes.
