Rams Head in Wigan

Agree with the other reviews about the smell and the poor quality of the beer, just wish I’d read them first. Normally an independent pub is better than a chain but this one would have soon had new management if it was part of a chain. Doesn’t serve food which is just as well because I doubt it would get a hygiene certificate. As for the smell, not sure if it’s the toilets or general damp but it probably says why it was so quiet. Takes a hardened drinker to be happy in here.

From the outside this place looks great but it's completely the opposite on the inside. As soon as you walk in you get hit with the smell of a mens toilet. The decor is as miserable as the woman serving behind the bar. Also a bit pricey. Only upside was they had cask ale.

came here off a recommendation from a friend, it was honestly the worst idea ever place was very unclean and dull beer was cloudy and expensive, the place smelt like wet dogs and staff did not seem happy to be there i will not be coming here again what an absolute embarrassment

Top quality local pub. Can't recommend highly enough

Eh, your average local’s beer & cider selection, nothing to write home about. It is somewhat comfy in there though.

Good service good facilities comfortable atmosphere quite a range of guest beers pleasant staff friendly clientele bar snacks and parking

This is a stunning pub with a great atmosphere and lovely customers. Their real ales are always good. The staff care a lot too. Dog friendly at night. They have some good bands on too Not had a chance to try their food yet Put your car number in the machine when you visit and all is well. Totally recommend it especially when @The THREE or @The HATS are playing

Great pub with a homely atmosphere. Wide selection of drinks with 2 guest ales that change every few days. Couldn't recommend it enough. No food service other than bar snacks.

Lovely, friendly lady serving. Friendly locals. Nice pub.

Luv itvsaturday night hadblive band on an amazing night shall bectetirning defobten out off ten

Lively local pub. One bitter on pump - Sharp's Doom Bar. A wider variety of draft lager including Stella & Madri

As always, great service, friendly staff and owners and of course well kept ales. Recently awarded CAMRA best kept beer

Pleasant staff and well kept ale.

Nice pint of real ale, much better atmosphere than opposite, great beer garden.

Enjoyable night the quiz is always entertaining on a Thursday 😁👍

The Rams head pub is lovely relaxed and th staff are amazing The bands are great

Had lunch at the Rams Head. The food was lovely. We had chicken curry and cheese and oinion pie .. delicious. Didn't catch our waitresses name but she was so friendly and chatty. We'll be going back.

A Village pub that feels like it is trying too hard to be some kind of Benidorm dive. I feel sorry for anyone who lives nearby, including the vicar in the church over the road. When a pub has to try so hard to get people in that the best they can come up with is loud music from bands that should have got the hint about how bad they were 20 years ago it makes you wonder what it is they’re trying to cover up. You don’t have to wonder for long though! The beer is of questionable quality and that’s putting it mildly. We decided to give the place a try despite the din, hoping we’d find a quiet corner - fat chance of that because you could hear the racket half a mile away! We got served the cloudiest beer I’ve seen outside of my uncle’s dodgy home brew and couldn’t finish it. We left with half a pint left and even now I’m wondering how long I’ll be off work for with a bad stomach! The little pub across the road was much better, admittedly quiet but the beer was good and the hygiene was a credit to them. Even better, we could hear each other speak! If we wanted to go to gigs we’d pay for a night watching someone decent in a venue big enough to cope with it, this was seriously dreadful and when you want to talk to the people you are with you’ve got no chance in a place like this. Avoid.

Lovely place and staff really nice...especially Tracy who was really spot on 👍

Always a pleasure to go In the Rams Head, we went when there was a band on and had a great night, Tracey the bar maid is always a great laugh. This is a propper homely drinkers pub, a bit rough and ready and definitely not Pretentious. But they are great folks.

Some food has to be pre ordered this rules us last minute dinners out....and limited menu....NO SUNDAY DINNERS

Not impressed at waited over an hour for food ,service was very poor,food was very poor,would not recommend.

The food was appalling. My daughter got ribs which was cole with a thick sauce on it. We asked them to warm ot yp but it still tasted horrible. I got butterfly chicken that was very small also cool but burnt. They put a hot sauce on when we asked for lemon sauce. My husband got cheese and leek pie that had no cheese and was flat as if it was stood on. Yuk. Luckily none of us have been ill yet.

We had a fabulous meal at this pub Very friendly and helpful staff Food was all home-cooked and delicious Loved the chips in the individual little baskets Good value for money

Small friendly local pub, in the heart of the village

New food menu. Well worth the visit, food was fantastic and well priced. A must visit 👍

Great pub good beer, nice friendly atmosphere and staff. Will be back

Great pub, first time in there with friends that are local. Great food and reasonably priced drinks..

Great pub. Nice relaxed atmosphere, big beer garden and a play area for the kids. The food part is always busy so that tells you how good it is. Would definitely recommend a visit or 12 😁

I visited here on a eat out to help out day. It's homecooked food and it didn't disappoint. You expect limited menu when homecooked food. The food was lovely especially their chips and the prices are great too.

Outstanding food and service cant fault it just booked again for next week..would highly recommend 👌

Food was ok, quite a few items missing from dishes we ordered. Not a lot of social distancing and we weren't asked for any contact details.

Great pub. Great service. Great atmosphere. And they now take card payments behind the bar

Went in the Rams Head tonight for the first time since lockdown. Great to be back. Thanks to Julie and Graham for a great welcome. I must say they are sticking to the governments rules impeccably. If you fancy a good pint in a welcoming well run establishment. Then it's the place to go.. Well done to them

Called in for food on friday evening which was delicious loveley homecooked fresh food . My only gripe was that i was with my wife and 2 children aged 14 and 13 and the table next to us was taken over by about 10 people who were not dining just drinking and the language was atrocious and went unchallenged so we decided to skip dessert and leave, a bad end to an otherwise loveley meal . As food is only served til 8 i would expect the dining area to be for diners only until that time and not a free for all for rowdy drinkers

Best pub around with friendly and polite staff and the beers are the best for miles

Lovely Valentine's meal last night with Ian, food and service second to none

Good atmosphere with good cask ales and cooked home made food. Kitchen open on selected days but well worth the visit as it spot on.

Visited on Christmas Day. Good atmosphere as expected, good service, and best of all good beer, the Proper Job really hit the spot.

There was 13 of us that booked the service was slow by the time I got mine at least 10 of the party had finished there food and was sat waiting for two of us getting our food one of the party ordered chicken wraps and sweet potato fries she ate her wraps but only got her fries 10mins after finishing her wraps the food was ok just needs be quicker service

Brilliant food and brilliant staff, will be going again.

Good drink good staff pleasant surroundings

It's a strange place, from the outside it looks awful, inside it's very 1970s split level with lots of brickwork. The locals are always pleasant and the beer is very good, only down side is the strange smell near the fireplace.

Massively surprised by this pub, food was stunning and the service was also fab! Would deffo recommend the Sunday roast!

Great food choices. Service excellent. Good atmosphere. We love it

GREAT STAFF VERY FRIENDLY EXCELLENT SERVICE

Foods really good but the pub is very Dark inside and needs more lights and a lighten up you can see your food

We live near this pub it local to us and it's 5 minutes away from home . Definitely recamending it the food was was awesome!! It's a bit disappointing at the kids play area but other than that it was great 👌

Very friendly pub good helpful staff and good food which is separately run from the pub , but would recommend both the pub and food

Nice food... quick service as usual

Nice and friendly. And the food is spot on. The fish and chips are very good 👌

Great local pub good food and atmosphere. Very easy going place .shows sports and also regularly have good artist on

There is nowhere around here that you can get freshly prepared food, so on friday we were looking for somewhere to get a pub lunch and we decided to call at The Rams head, it was about 12.45 there were only 4 people in, the place could do with a makeover to be fare,but don't let the outside put you off, now we come to the menu, plenty of choice and all home made by the chef, we choose 3 starter and 2 side orders of chips & onion rings, starter steak skewers, Camembert with chutney, sliced mushroom in a white wine sauce served with garlic bread! Verdict Fantastic! and it was only £14.00, the service was excellent, I would definitely recommend you try it out you will not be disappointed.

Top pint n fantastic staff well worth a visit

My first visit to the pub. We had a roast chicken lunch. Chicken was overcooked as were the roast potatoes. The other vegetables were lovely and the Yorkshire pudding was huge! Staff lovely.

Cosy and good entertainment was busy too must be good

Cooked fresh no frozen. Really tasty food. Get in early very popular especially Sunday

Booked a table for my birthday. There was 8 in our party. The food was excellent My husband and nephews had the burger it’s was massive and they said it’s was lovely The Hunters chicken was excellent only small complaint was food toke a long time to arrive but was worth the wait. X

Lovely pub. We only visit when visiting a relative. It could be months yet the licencees remember our drinks!!!!

Good local home feel pub with car park and beer garden also do food

My local good beer and food and great staff

Not been here for years so walked across the road from another hostelry which amazingly was closing early on New Years Eve. Anyhow I'm glad we did as the place was rocking with mainly 40+ who knew how to enjoy themselves without causing any trouble. Had a really good time. Place needs a refub to brighten it up but nonetheless was a good night. Might try it again.

good atmosphere, always has a real ale available

I came to the Ram after a day at the races with a group of friends for some food and it was excellent. A true hidden gem and well worth the trip off the beaten track. The service was second to none and the food was top drawer. I will definitely be back.

Good cask ale, Robinsons Light Brigade, this time, well kept by Graham.

My local pub, great atmosphere and pleasent staff. Would highly recommend

Friendly and old fashioned sand the foods great.

A good pub with plenty of character and decent beer and food.

Maybe it was the time of year I last visited but the Rams Head always feels comfortable and homely. Protected from the weather outside, this pub feels like a haven you may not want to leave (especially in winter). A good selection of craft beers and a great food menu make the visit even more pleasurable and prove that maybe it's not so "grim up North" after all ;) Looking forward to the next time

Live close by. Not been in a while, however tried this since getting a new menu and really enjoyed it. The fish and chips were the best around lowton. Hand cut chips are amazing (proper chips). The chilli beef noodles were also lovely. I would defiantly reccomend going here. The food is also priced reasonably and not too costly which can be found in some pubs local. All could suggest is the pub itself could be a little modernised but that’s a minor suggestion. Lovely!!!

We though we would try this pub has it had good reviews. We arrived to a very cold pub with a rude bar man. We were directed to the person to see regarding our reservation. The lady was very polite and gave us Sunday lunch menus, all was fine. Our food arrived and the hunters chicken was fine, nice home cooked chips, however the roast beef dinner was awful, the meat was like leather and no taste. The fish was slimy. We decided not to complain and pay. At this point we asked for the bill and took out our bank card, only to be told it's cash only. At no point was we told it was cash only and to have had our meals and not given the choice to pay cash or leave was a disgrace. Totally embarrassing and having to send a member of family to a cash point is not on. Won't be returning or recommending. Was glad to get in the car to get warm.

To me this is a proper pub. Dart board cribbage and also serves food. Will be going BACK.

Brilliant little pub, all staff very helpful and extremely Pleasant. Very friendly atmosphere.

Excellent night, with exceptional live music.

Going down the nick. "One for yourself" when the round was £4:20 and a fiver tendered - no change! 20p in Liverpool unless one expressly says have a drink with me. Worse, woman punter stood next to me at bar called me a "mean bastard". Avoid at all costs, smells of old chip fat.. In decline.

Sunday lunch 10 pound. Which is expensive here to say the least. Yorkshire puddings burnt beef white chewy. Disappointing

Lovely atmosphere and friendly and great home cooked food. A must visit xxx

Beers are ok but could do with a refurbished

Ordered two Fish of the day with chips & mushy peas.Fish was good even if the batter was very heavy.Chips were real & good but the mushy peas smelt off & tasted off too.We reported this & waitress said she wood tell the "Chef".

Another good night at rams head why don't you come and see for yourself good band on

It's ok. It's a Pub but it's in real need of a complete refurbishment. Owners and staff are great.

Had another amazing night at Rams head, great group, drinks and not forgetting our friends and the staff. Xx

I took visitors to this pub as I'd been there when the previous chef was in residence and it was out of this world, but this time oh what a difference, the menu is pieces of paper on a clip board it is limited to say the least and the food well! 2 of us had the mixed grill which was anything but grilled e.g the chicken hado been deep fried then kept warm so it wasn't only dry but burnt on the bottom, the mushroops were seasoned so much they were inedible but the worst was the egg whigh was hard yoked but raw white lastry all of agreed the chips were awful we had seasoned ones which weren't nice and the other three had white undercooked ones with the fish then the chef told us it's because the potatoes are changing from old to new!!!!!!! sorry that's rubbish I certainly won't be going there again nor will I recommend it

Very friendly welcoming pub. It's a BBL (broad based local).

This is my sister's & brother in law's local. Great service, guest beer was a saviour as the standard fare is what you expect. But the pub is great, full of local people & the evening rocked loudly with..wait for it...Tex & The Hardcore Troubadours. They were excellent, check them out. Oh & Dave has done a great job of the toilets, in the past what you left in there was an improvement so much needed refurbishment.

If you want a good night out in an old fashioned pub, this is the place for you. In Winter, it has a roaring log fire. The pub quiz is also first class!

Nice pub!!! Just to small for bands!!!!

Nice Sunday roast at reasonable cost

this looks a nice littlw villiage pub... the toilets female. was blocked and abit untidy. i ordered my food and ask for no salad to be on my burger or plate. i ordered a pig burger which was a bbq pulled pork beef burger.... my burger came out with a massive tomatoe and mayonise on.... the pulled pork was put on top. not even pulled put on like a second burger and no bbq sauce. i was not impressed at all. the front of house man was very nice and knocked 3pound off for me. Overall i dont think i would call back for food.

A very friendly and traditional pub serving exellant home cooked food.

Very friendly pub apparently the food is excellent it's a must visit

Fab new menu. Fab service. Highly recommended

We live close to the Rams Head and had heard good reports circulating around the village so decided to try it. We went there with our son on a Saturday lunch time. I had Cajun chicken fajitas, hubby had big breakfast which came in a frying pan (original) and son had chicken. All the food was really good, homemade chips too. It had lived up to expectations. Also the menu was 2 meals for £12 so the whole lunch cost £18.

A fanatic evening at the Rams Head ! I highly recommend this place

Really cosy pub, good food, nice selection, friendly atmosphere.

Excellent food and service will be going again soon

Quiet boozer with a guest beer on. Doesn't accept card and could reduce the spirit prices.

Miserable landlord inside needs completely renovating

Friendly local pub with 1-2 various guest ales on regularly. Frequently has bands on

Lovely home cooked meals , great service Friendly staff Cheap meals good value for money Small carpark
