Excellent food unbelievably tastyand service excellent very polite staff good atmosphere definitely be returning 😀 👌

Great food and great staff, what more do you want? Creative inventions are made here, goat cheese spring rolls with beetroot and pistachios, delicious.

Never fails to impress. Food was gorgeous especially the goats cheese dip! Service always exceptional and the venue is beautiful. My fav go to place! 🩷

Great food especially the truffle and parmasan chips great atmosphere

Excellent Sunday roast. Food delicious, and staff so attentive led by Lucy B. Meat, potato, cauliflower cheese and accompaniment s cooked to perfection. Lovely atmosphere and thoroughly enjoyed by all of us.

Great food, beer and atmosphere

Excellent meal this afternoon at the Holcomb Tap. Didn’t book but they sorted a table for us and made us very welcome. Menu looked great and the food was superb. We live just over an hours drive away but we’ll make the trip back for a meal here again. Can’t wait to try the Sunday lunch and listen to some live music too. Great job to all the team there and chefs. See you again soon.

We come to Ramsbottom 4 or 5 times a year and always make a point of paying a visit to the Holcombe Tap or its sister establishment the Eagle and Child. We are never disappointed. The food is amazing, the atmosphere extremely welcoming, the service outstanding and superb value for money. The menu changes every few months and we love ordering a selection of small plates to enjoy delicious flavours and unusual ingredient combinations. You can tell there is serious thought and attention to detail that produces an exquisite array of culinary delights. You can probably tell we are huge fans. 😊

The food here is great. Tasty and well presented. The salad was substantial and delicious - not just a bag of salad on a plate! Other dishes were superb. The cauliflower curry being a particular highlight. Nice environment and friendly staff who help you navigate the menu and make suggestions if asked.

Didn't have any food Called in for a drink but this wasn't a tap bar, no real beers at all

Lovely place and food staff lovely and helpful but kept having to ask them for service (drinks and dessert) Also service charge added to bill automatically which not sure I agree with. Apart from that would recommend

Such a lovely and chilled atmosphere, I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this place to anyone! The food was great and the staff are super friendly and welcoming, I will definitely be returning! 😊

Amazing tapas! The staff, particularly Libby & Lucy were Lucy. Great service, will definitely return. I found this place through Tripadvisor.

Came here for a meal with my wife and daughter after my daughter recommended it. Unfortunately she didn't book a table so when we arrived it was fully booked. It's only a small place so obviously books up quickly. We sat outside which wasn't a problem as it was a warm evening. I ordered 5 dishes for the 3 of us. After about 25 minutes 4 dishes came out. We waited thinking the last dish and chips wouldn't be long, but after a few more minutes my daughter went inside to enquire at which she was told they were juggling orders and it would be out. We started eating and after a few more minutes they arrived. No apology for the delay. The food was good, especially the whipped goats cheese with pistachio, and that was reasonably priced. The other dishes I found really expensive. If you just want to nibble with drinks it's okay. If you want a meal then go elsewhere. I was still hungry when we left and drove to get a burger. No one enquired how the food was and when we left there was no goodbye, thanks for coming or any other pleasantries. Ignored would be a good word to use. In short, expensive, good food, terrible service. Not somewhere I would recommend or go back to.

Honestly such a lovely atmosphere, 10/10 service and all the staff are so friendly! The food was unreal, all full of flavour but all different too, definitely recommend the corn, the prawns and all the fries too. Would 100% visit again and recommend to anyone.

Good food, relatively inexpensive.

The Sunday roasts are very good. Highly recommended. If you like sticky toffee puddings, this one could be the best one you've ever had. There is a partly covered beer garden as well.

Amazing great quality food, reasonable price, good ambiance and excellent service. Majority of the dishes ordered were with decent portion size with exception to some. Limited parking space but you can park in nearby street.

Just called in for a coffee because it serves rijo coffee. Looked at the menu looks good ready for the next visit.

Very good food just a bit pricy

Relaxing Sunday Afternoon - This was an unplanned visit and what a find! Originally we walked in for a few drinks but quickly changed our minds after looking at the food being served around us. Perfect sized menu with great options and choices for the small plates on offer. Sunday sessions was perfect. Food was excellent and the salt and pepper chips are a must. We were very well looked after and could have easily stayed all afternoon. Will definitely be returning.

Small plates of food were fantastic and the service excellent. The only small quibble was the draught ales I tried were ok. If you are going for food and wine then it is 5 stars.

Just been for lunch today and was absolutely fantastic. Service good food amazing friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place.nice to go to a place that's not pretentious. Definitely recommend going.

Always a great time here! One of my fav bars in Rammy

Food was excellent, just portions were very small. £8.50 for one Portabello Mushroom. Also not happy with the embarrassing optional surcharge on the Bill. Service was also very good, just think very expensive for the amounts you get.

The atmosphere was very warm and friendly, 2 of my family had steak dishes off the menu, which they enjoyed. I had chicken skewers at £9.50 which was one small piece of chicken on 3 separate skewers with dressing. Mac n cheese plus chips, after leaving I felt a bit disappointed about the portions being so small, and lacking in flavour, although they said there's were fine. Might just have been an a one off.

Amazing! Second time we have been and we love it. Highly recommend the steak. Came on a Sunday, great roast and the live music really added to the atmosphere. Celebrating a birthday, staff made us feel very welcome.

Holcombe Tap is a fantastic restaurant serving fantastic tapas style food. Great service. Great food. A definite must

Stunning food, every mouthful was delicious. Tapas and desserts. Beautiful, cosy pub. Can’t recommend Holcombe Tap enough. Thank you for making my mums birthday so special.

Fantastic food, service and area. I highly recommend the Holcombe Tap to anyone wanting a great evening with amazing food. The mac and cheese with truffle is the best I’ve ever had, and don’t forget a brownie for dessert. The staff are very welcoming too.

Lovely pub, fast friendly service from Issy. Food was small plates with decent menu choices. Very tasty! Top notch chef, really enjoyed it, highly recommend.

Excellent food and presentation

Tasty food delivered quickly in a clean and pleasant atmosphere.

The best roast dinner, beef cooked to perfection!! Everything was perfect

Lovely place, really nice staff and the food was incredible.

Another great experience in here! Particular thanks to Charlie who went out of his way to be hospitable. All in all a top place.

Lovely friendly place. The food is fresh and tasty, salt & pepper chicken thigh is absolutely delicious. Definitely recommended.

Booked a table for 6 to celebrate my daughters birthday. It was a Sunday and we all went for the roast beef with yorkshire pudding and picked our own sides consisting of roast potatoes, 2 types of cauliflower cheese (there are 3 to choose from), roasted carrots, extra yorkshires and mixed greens. The beef was perfect, every plate was cleared and we were all totally full with only one person making room for a sweet. The food was fantastic, the choice of beers, ciders, wines and shorts is as good as any pub in the area and the staff are welcoming, friendly and make the whole experience worth every penny.

Quality food and lovely staff. Buttermilk chicken strips get better every time. Great beer garden for the summer as well

We wanted a nice relaxed evening to celebrate my daughters birthday. We’re all vegetarian and we were able to have a decent choice of dishes which we really enjoyed. The service was warm & friendly, the food excellent.

Best roast I’ve had for a while!! It was so tasty and a great amount of choice. Would definitely recommend to everyone and our waitress Lucy was very helpful, friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to come again!

Delicious food and really friendly atmosphere. Libby, Will and the team gave amazing service! The chorizo and Parmesan fries were absolutely delicious.

Date night - meal for 2 - had a lovely evening. Lucy ( the blonde manger) looked after us and she was spot on. Totally on the ball. She’s got a great personality and chatted with us well. Made us feel welcome and we didn’t need to wait for anything. Was a busy Saturday night too. Outstanding device. Highly recommend and what a lovely young lady she was. Definitely will be back soon.

Beautiful food and amazing service! The mushroom and the duck was amazing! Staff were attentive and so lovely! Will definitely be coming back

This restaurant/pub is a great location to have catch up with friends and they are very accommodating for people with allergies and dietary requirements as i have celiac disease. my waitress libby was very well mannered and made sure i had everything i needed from the moment i stepped through the door.

Best meal I’ve had at the holcombe tap. Everything was bang on. Beef cheek and the special prawns were the highlights for us. Can’t recommend enough

Another great Sunday afternoon in The Holcombe Tap. Fabulous food and great music from trouble everyday. Would always recommend this place any time and any day. Staff are all brilliant.

Lovely spot for a great night out with friends. Food is amazing and atmosphere great too. The service was outstanding. Libby really looked after us and kept checking if we needed any more drinks.

Came here for a Sunday roast with the family. The food was delicious, the beef was cooked perfectly. We all really liked the tapas style of the Sunday roast as it gave us the option to pick and choose what we wanted.

This has been and still is one of my favourite places to dine out . Staff , food and service always 110%. Nothing too much trouble to accommodate one’s requirements

Great food will definitely go again

Excellent evening meal with friends, booked in advance as restaurant gets very busy, especially at weekend, Quite often call in mid week, late afternoon, when not as busy. From arriving to departing, made very welcome, staff are very pleasant and a great choice of food...

I went to Holcombe Tap to meet friends on Wednesday night. We had a lovely evening and highly recommend the goats cheese 😍 If you want good food, nice wine and a buzzing atmosphere then I Highly recommend HT 👌

Holcombe Tap is a great place for the lunch. The small plates were delicious. We had 3 savoury plates and one dessert between the 2 of us and that was ample. By the way the sticky toffee pudding is the best I’ve ever tasted. The...

Great food and great service! Friendly and caring staff. Choice of food is really good and the small plates give loads of choice.

2 couples booked in on a busy Saturday evening, seated in the bar are but still a cosy but vibrant feel. Seated quickly and staff were attentive throughout the evening. We had asked how many dishes to purchase as a large chunk of the menu...

Really enjoyed lunch here. They do small plates but at lunch time there are sandwich/soup options. Super friendly staff

This is a hard one, the pub is a lovely pub, staff very friendly and polite, good atmosphere and well decorated BUT the price of the drinks are appalling, 1 pint and an alcohol free bottle of beer £10.20! How can that be justified?? Come...

Brilliant place. Food and service were impeccable

Chose a selection of small plates between two of us. We couldn't fault any they were all fabulous. All the waitresses we spoke to were friendly and polite.

Lovely Sunday roast! We had the filet steak and peppercorn sauce which was delicious! Would definitely recommend

Reserved a table which was available 15 minutes before our booking time. Staff very friendly, food fantastic. Great atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again.

Got to say Holcombe Tap never disappoints but they excelled themselves today. The food was amazing. Tried a couple of things on the new menu & specials. The Risotto dish & the broccoli dish was unbelievable . Service is always special but today needs to...

Incredible food - I had a Paddys day scampi special with some amazing salt and pepper chips...lovely location, decor and great service.

Really nice food, tapas dishes are great to try lots of dishes we shared with the family. It’s a lovely place and the staff are great

Excellent food and service. Our first time here and a great buzz about the place plus an open fire to welcome us on a cold evening. I could have ordered any or all of the small plates so it was hard to choose but I...

Really lovely meal with excellent service, waiter was very knowledgeable about the beers and very attentive. They offer a discount for being a member of the local running club however I didnt have my membership card on me, waiter was happy to take my word...

Great atmosphere for a few drinks! Staff really pleasant and very attentive especially Molly. Happy days. Great evening.

Very nice food and atmosphere. The roast beef and flat iron steak were cooked perfectly. Good portion size. Will visit again.

Loved it, will definitely be back

Had a very nice lunch today for my granddaughters 18th which we all enjoyed . Staff very attentive and food was good and tasty. Plenty choice of drinks we attacked The Orange Gins 🍊

Had our office Christmas party, food was brilliant, service just as good, well done Holcombe tap. Highly recommend a visit.

Seriously this was just amazing get yourself there and enjoy

You need to come here and then pat yourself on the back for a fabulous decision. Food is exceptional, made with love and care. Atmosphere is geared towards a relaxing customer experience and the service is 100% personal from the guy choosing my wine when i asked what he would recommend🍷 to the desserts and coffees, all has a high end feel but no pretence, the team know how to do hospitality... we will definitely be hurrying back. Thankyou x

Expensive fried food. No choice of Ales. Not very friendly.

Great food, decent cask beer, good atmosphere. Friendly staff.

By far my favourite place to eat in the area. The food gets better every time! Also such a cosy place to be and the staff are so lovely!

Food was amazing . But check you bill . Ordered 4 drinks and 12 small plates . All delivered with minutes of each other and a £17 service charge . Please all remember a service charge is optional. Leave a tip by all means . But check your bill when you get in here

Had a nice tapas style lunch here. The food came out quite quickly and was very tasty. Nice decor and relaxed atmosphere. Would not hesitate to come back.

Really nice place for a spot of lunch, lovely menu,great atmosphere

Great food, excellent live music, well worth a visit, you will have to book though, we went for Sunday lunch👍

My partner and I came for a Sunday lunch.we didn't know what, however gave it a chance and it paid off.. we arrived slightly earlier then our booking time and was told we could sit at a bar area where they went and got us some stools.. when our table was ready it was a high table option, which we wasn't happy with and asked if we could have a low table option.. they accommodated. We ordered 2 beef Sunday lunches with added side orders and we couldn't fault what we had.. the food was beautiful.. the meat was so tender and the accompaniments were lovely. The price was very reasonable.. we would definitely eat there again.

Lovely atmosphere with a warm cosy vibe, amazing Sunday dinner and the management and staff are really attentive, it was also really nice to have a guitarist playing whist dinning

Enjoyed the beer and great live music from Ethan on acoustic guitar

Excellent service and food were fantastic

We were there on a Monday night, and not really expecting too much because it was Monday, but the place had a good atmosphere and was certainly nowhere near empty. But the best thing about the evening was definitely the food. Small sharing plates, varied in style, quite original and not the 'norm', and each clearly prepared with care and attention. Very much recommended.

Brilliant service and really tasty and filling food.

Outstanding tapas. Staff are unbelievably friendly and go out of their way to help you. Nice for lunch or tea!

Had a few drinks on a Saturday, lovely outdoor seating area with heaters and good selection of beers. Very popular place with a lively atmosphere.

Small plates, perfect Saturday afternoon food. We have king prawns, Korean BBQ beef rib - these two dishes are worth the trip on their own. The sauce on the prawns makes you want more dipping bread. Also duck with noodles and chorizo. Really good local ale on draft, service superb. Will be back for sure

Great relaxed atmosphere with great service. Lovely tapas.

Visited for Sunday lunch sadly will be the last time we visit £9 for a very small bowl of seasonal greens to serve 3 people is a rip off £3 for 3 small cauliflower florets another rip off. Unable to cut the roast beef which was very undercooked due to blunt utensils 4 adults 2 small children 3 alcoholic drinks 3 soft drinks £156

The best food in the area,and a lovely atmosphere.

Superb food with a friendly and welcoming cosy atmosphere. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

An outstanding tapas menu. The choice and quality are excellent. We opted for 5 small plates between 2 people, and the portion sizes are generous. The specials menu included tempura chicken thighs, and we also opted for Short beef ribs, buttermilk chicken, fish goujons, and homemade hummus with warm pitta breads. The quality of the food was excellent and well presented. The staff were attentive and very friendly. The prices were extremely fair. There is a car park only a 30-second walk away or also nearby street parking. We look forward to returning and would like to try the Sunday dinner.

Just wish we lived closer, we would certainly be regulars.

1st visit after seen great reviews. Brilliant. Thank you. 👍

Fabulous food and great service from really lovely staff. A must visit

Lovely staff, Nice relaxing drink

10/10....THE best salt&pepper chips I've ever had, I'm no good with spice but these had a sweet kick to them so they were perfect 👌🏼 the tapas selection we had was great, very high quality food and really tasty. The service was just as high quality, the staff were lovely and very attentive to our table. They were very helpful by clearing away our plates so we had more space and making sure we were all ok. I would definitely recommend this place to locals or anyone visiting the Ramsbottom area :) Thanks Will & the team.
