The Ram Inn Traditional Free House in Burnley

Good service from a cheerful and helpful person. Tasty food which arrived in good time. Cosy and nicely busy

We booked with our two grandsons for a late lunch. Food was delicious and hot, the service was really good too. Couldn’t fault it. We will definitely dine here again.

To start it was very cold in the Ram the radiators were on but with no effect, the log fire was lit initially but went out within half hour of being there. We went for the kids meal deal but the kids fish had soggy batter, the kids burger was very dry, the tomato pasta was good but the fish and chips on the main menu was also soggy and under cooked. Unfortunately we do prefer the old menu when sandwiches were available at a much more reasonable price for families. The server did give a discount on the drinks.

good food and service would visit again

The service was brilliant, pleasant young man and food was excellent. Definitely come again soon

I had cheese and onion pie it was lovely , and the service was great friendly and professional

Lamb steak was a bit tough and fatty, prawn starter was really nice

Beer battered fish and chips, nice portions,good size,all brought with a nice smile,yummy 😋

Great Burger very filling, quick service and no wait for table, looking forward to the desert!

Nice place to eat. Lovely food and good service. Would come again! Thank you! 🙂

Lovely Meal, the fish and chips were a lovely golden brown and the fish pie was amazing 👏

Friendly staff and lovely food in a Cosy and warm environment. Came with family for a birthday meal.

Came here for a family meal and we received amazing service and the food was wonderful as well. The ambience of the pub/restaurant was also a pleasure.

The food here was good had a great and smashed the burger would 100% recommend this place to any looking a nice place for dinner 5 stars

Called at The Ram on the way home from Burnley. Plenty of parking in the pub carpark. Lovely Guinness and nice lamb burger. Temperature in pub was quite cold, had to leave coats on. Only two other tables eating and service was slow. One of the meals was cold and they only had one thing on the dessert menu?! Shan't be calling again.

Disappointing. No cask ale, cold night but fire hadn't been lit. Food average. But did have three vegan options which was good. Staff friendly, but one part of one order was wrong, by the time they offered correction meal had been eaten. We were not asked if we wanted any further drinks, or dessert. It wasn't busy. We left...

Good food, very attentive staff, bit of a wait but worth it in the end!

Had a lovely, chicken burger. Music was fire. Had a perfect evening. Will come again

We came on a Thursday night and the food was all great. Good service and good atmosphere.

Lovely pub, stopped by for some food with my partner. Definitely recommend

Great place, well located and great service. Couldn’t fault anything apart from when ordering the fish and chips there was no tartare sauce.

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Have been several times. Jordan, the manager, is welcoming and helpful.

Great food, pies was amazing. Very friendly staff, served the food very quickly. Very good atmosphere. Family really enjoyed it.

Had a Sunday lunch with all the trimmings, very nice. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice food and very nice and polite staff. I would definitely recommend this for a meal or even a drink out.

A lovely cosy feel to the place.The food were fantastic. Staff were polite and friendly also!

Lovely homemade pies and the children's meals were enjoyed

Food was lovely - we had the steak and ale pie one with mash and one with chips. Nice atmophere sat by a roaring fire so nice and warm We a cup of tea but both were jusr luke warm, they replaced both with no fuss. Had a slight problem with the bill which came to exactly £47 of which we asked to be split between two of us (£23.50 each). Only realised when we left that we had been charged £27.50 each. (Total £55). I phoned to let them know we had been overcharged of which they have offered to take the difference of £8 off our bill on a future visit.

Really turned around under new owners, food was spot on, couldn't fault a thing. Will definitely keep coming back

Had the pie of the day(cheese) was delicious, plenty to choose from of the menu, great service, highly recommended

Warm friendly atmosphere, ordered pie of the day, cheese, plenty of selection from the menu. Well worth a trip out in a beautiful located village pub.

Visited after a dog walk.. Lovely food, advised of the food choices and they were very tasty, great atmosphere too! Many thanks, we'll definitely be back 👌

A good choice of food and delicious. The salt and pepper chicken was excellent. Also very dog friendly.

Lovely old style pub that caters for everyone! I brought my Daughter and Wife for a treat!! The food looked and tasted sooo good! Great service with friendly staff! Would recommend 5* Very happy customers

Nice food. Good friendly service. Back room was slightly cold.

Friendly staff, I got ravioli and it was lovely it came with garlic bread nice tasty food

The food and service from here is amazing, very friendly and efficient would highly recommend.

Salt and Pepper chicken was very nice. Staff were really helpful, I would highly recommend The Ram Inn.

Came here a year ago and thoroughly enjoyed the cask beers they had on. So this time, as we had been to the same place again and, on the way back, called in to have some lunch. We stood at the bar for a little while, and then eventually we ordered a drink, but we're told it's table service. Sat down and waited 30 minutes for someone to come and take the food and drink order. The server asked my partner as he had ordered soup. Would you like the soup bringing out with the main meal. He said no. We then proceeded to wait again a very long time for the food to arrive. But the soup came with the main course when he had already said no. So now he is chasing his food as it's all going cold. My mum and I ordered a coffee, and that came luke warm. My mums fish pie was more potato than fish. The green beans were hard to eat. I'm very disappointed with everything. The server did apologise as they had been run off their feet previously, they had two members of staff on but still not very good at the end of the day for fastness of service and food being cold.

Excellent food and service, staff very friendly and efficient, lovely atmosphere for my nieces birthday tea, would highly recommend.

Brilliant experience, staff were lovely. Really enjoyed coming here for the first time and for our daughters 1st birthday which made very special by all staff 🩷

Very friendly service great food could of done with the fire on

Warm and friendly place Attentive staff Dog friendly

Food lovely. Steak a little tough

We came here for a Friday early evening meal. Best meal we have had in a while. The menu is very varied and caters for everyone. I had the salt and pepper chicken and hubby had steak and ale pie. Food was excellent. Excellent service from the new starter waitress Ellie. First trial shift and I hope she carries on. Will definitely come here again.

Food was lovely and well presented

Food was lovely...staff were great especially young Harvey...service was good...just a shame the full menu wasn't available because you'd been so busy during the day!!

Came here for Sunday dinner. Food was lovely. Service by Harvey was spectacular! We will definitely be back!

Lovely, cosy pub with attentive and polite staff. I had the beer battered haddock and would highly recommend it.

Lovely friendly staff. Good service. Food came promptly and was very nice (I had the chicken burger). Will be coming back.

Nice place food good service very good staff very welcoming pub very clean nice stop off on my way back to Rochdale we will be back

Excellent traditional Sunday lunch, in a great setting in the Calder valley. great service, very friendly and courteous staff. Thanks very much

Lovely food, we enjoyed our meals, would come back again. Staff were friendly and the menu was great.

Lovely food. Nice cosy pub and the lamb burger was delicious. The staff were very friendly

Great countryside pub. Lovely service staff polite and helpfull. Food was fantastic and lovely pint of peroni to top it off.. jobs a good un.

Food was beautiful! Presentation was fabulous as well! I had the salt & pepper chicken and was a little sceptical but it was delicious!

The salt and pepper chicken was lovely! Staff were very friendly and polite! Would definitely recommend

First time visiting The Ram Inn. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. The food was excellent, well done to the chef. They need an extra pair of hands front of house, but otherwise fab. Would recommend.

Lovely Restaurant and both meals we ordered tasted great! Salt & pepper chicken and the sea bass we highly recommend.

Came for a pre match with my dad . I got a steak which was perfectly cooked and my dad got the lamb burger which looked delicious. The waiters were very polite and welcoming, will definitely be coming back.

Excellent service and brilliant food

Excellent food . Not too busy when we came in but started to fill up. Good atmosphere.

Came for an anniversary meal, food was excellent...so tasty and good sized portions. Staff were really friendly and hard working. Will definitely be coming back.

Came here for something to eat. Almost every time we eat in a pub, we get the same thing, burger for me, steak and ale pie for my partner and a sausage for our dog. There was no pie on at the time but a turkey dinner advertised for only £12.95 so we both decided to have that. Weren't expecting much at that price but were very surprised! It was great value and easily filled us up, our dog was brought water and a mini meal for him too. Very satisfied, the dog already wants to come back!

Updating my review. The lad working behind the bar was great, really professional and well mannered. The food was very nice indeed too. However we got there at shortly after opening time and the tables were quite dirty from previous night with sticky drinks stains and food remnants, that's not great at opening time when you expect everything to be at its cleanest. Also the menus were dog eared and covered in food and would benefit from being laminated. I'd have given 5 stars but my beef was really, really tough. Took a lot of chewing, however, it was flavoursome and the sauce, mushrooms and veg and mash were lovely. The Po' boy dish was gorgeous. The staff were great. The pub is beautiful, so pretty and very old. Lovely atmosphere. The views and surroundings are amazing. Drinks slightly pricey but we enjoyed them anyway! Definitely will go again.

This place was really special to myself and my partner as it was where we had our first date. Also the place where he proposed last Christmas. Called in for just a drink last night and the place was completely empty! It smelt like a dirty dogs bed. The table we sat at had graffity on it. What a shame! This pub has ambiance and character so its tragic to see so run down. The fire was lit and so were candles on each table. We left feeling really sad as we would have liked our wedding there.

Visited the Ram to sample a mid week lunch what a disappointment. The pub was very quiet and very cold. The bar staff after taking our order for beer informed us when asked about food that we couldn't order for an hour as they had just taken a delivery of the food and didn't know what would be available. Not.totally happy about the excuse we sat down to drink our beer when after five minutes the bar staff walked out of the kitchen with two.plates of fish and chips for two customers sat in another table. No explanation or reason was forthcoming and he obviously could not be bothered. It is a fantastic building in a great location but time after time the staff running it are useless and ignorant it could be a fantastic pub but let's itself down everytime we will NOT be going again

2 scampi and chips small tub peas and pill po size of tarter sauce 2 and one portion of onion rings.... larger shandies and a oj of orange £53.65 yes we saw the menu and ordered at those prices!!! basically a bar snack with a pint for 2. honestly... not worth the price good edible food but just too expensive.. not even a bit of garnish as I mentioned to brighten up the place... I know food fiel and running costs are high but we too have to make our money go far as well.. good food for fair prices is not a lot to ask... staff nice, place nice, just over priced by a few quid for what your getting ..owners if you need reply or contact me .. cheers

Great food and drinks, very helpful and friendly staff, especially Brad behind the bar, full of cheer and laughter!

I had the best time here with my family, i had a sunday roast and it was really good. 10/10 would try again

The Ram Inn in Cliviger has always been a charming local favorite with very disappointing kitchen, but the arrival of the new chef has elevated it to something extraordinary. What I experienced during my recent visit was nothing short of a culinary miracle. Every dish I tried was nicely prepared, bursting with fresh flavors, and beautifully presented. The new chef hasn’t just brought exceptional cooking to the Ram Inn; they’ve brought hope and a new chapter of excellence. This is more than just a meal—it’s an experience that will undoubtedly change the Ram Inn for the better. I urge anyone, whether a local or a visitor, to head to Cliviger and taste the magic for themselves. This is pub dining at its absolute best.

Lovely meal last weekend and great value for money friendly and helpful staff ⚕️ x

Clearly they've changed their chef, this time the food was excellent. Recommend this place for cozy food, and warm atmosphere

Booked a table for bonfire night at 5.15 aiming to be finished for the fireworks, ordered deserts at 6pm and was still waiting at 8.45pm, went to enquire 3 times but still no deserts, not enough staff in my opinion and seemed very unorganized, ended up leaving very disappointed.

I Went for a Sunday roast with freinds . Tables was sticky and the only thing what was roasted was the meat . No beef available and the turkey was chewy .parsnips wasn't roasted and also tasted like perfume . Roast potatoes might Haswell of just been boiled . Lots of room for improvement. The best bit about it was the pint of coca cola .

Went yesterday with a friend,sorry to say we could not have been more disappointed. We tried to order our drinks on arrival ,as my friend was driving we ordered cranberry and soda”don’t have any “ so orange juice and soda “don’t have any of that either “ Not a good start,however we looked at the menu and we’re impressed lovely selection Starters ordered but chef’s choice the beef “don’t have any” Ok we then told you did have pies ????not the same I had the pork left most of it veg uncooked meat was cold and slimy O well coffee time Two lathes please don’t have any Choice of black coffee or white coffee.So we had 1 Malabo and coke and 1lime and soda was charged £10plus Had to find staff when we needed service.So total cost of the experience was £91 Won’t be back a shame because love the building and setting.No response so don’t bother with reviewing,because they only respond to positive comments

Unfortunately I wouldnt recommend. I have been 4 times and each time there has been an issue. I put this down to it being new ownership so gave them a chance to settle in. However tried one final time today, booked a table for 4:30pm as there was an offer being advertised all week for a Sunday roast. When we got there we was advised there was no beef, then whilst in a very long queue to order the roast, arriving at the front of the queue to be told there was no roast dinners left. I asked if they would offer an alterative as a deal but was advised no. Won't be going again. Such a shame!

Ordered 2x coke 1 halloumi and 1 chicken liver pat'e and 2 main 2xlamb kofta gyros with chips and side salad. The coke and halloumi was fine ! The pat'e was terribly off and the lamb kofta there was no spices in it at all the chips was OK. No ketchup or mayo when asked. Got refunded for the coke and pat'e GOGW. My tummy doing somersault...will I go back no way 😩

Very average considering the prices and food quality. much better options available locally.

Nice place but food wasn't amazing. Staff were great though

Excellent pub food. Great atmosphere. Superb surroundings

Absolutely brilliant food, lovely staff, nice atmosphere, unhurried environment. Excellent, local pub.

Just been there this afternoon Lovely food, lovely staff very welcoming and our little dog even got a bowl of left over roast dinner Will definitely be back

Lovely place, helpful and welcoming staff

Food was lovely. Thank you Ben and Amelia for looking after us x

Went on lovely sunny afternoon, big outside area to sit. Food lovely. Think they must have had some new staff on as they were a bit uncertain about how things worked or were ordered but everyone has to learn so it was fine

Went here on a Wednesday night was quite disappointed 2 staff on service and bar struggling to keep up (not there fault) had 2 meals food was disappointing and priced as high end meals ...mash looked like microwave mash. Chef could be heard berating the rest of his kitchen staff and made the young server girl cry. Wouldn't be rushing to come back.

Called in for lunch. What a very nice place. We decided to sit outside as it was a nice day and we had our little dog with us. The service was great as was the food. Would definitely go here again.

I've been here 2 times now. On my first visit I booked a table over the phone but when we all got there was told the kitchen was closed and that the person who took our bookings had got it wrong so left with not eating. I let that go and tried again on an afternoon visit. Wish I never had food was awful greasy pizza, burnt chicken goujons, and hardly any meat in the lasagne shame really as it's in a nice place. Sadly, I won't be going back

Took my parents out for an anniversary meal and decided to try here as had been wanting to go for a while. Staff were lovely and we were seated straight away. 3 of the party chose the roast dinner and I chose the Gyros. All the food was delicious and we also had a dessert each. Will definitely be back

Brilliant. Myself and some friends came after a walk a couple of weeks ago. The service was absolutely fantastic (especially from our waitress Grey) and the food we ordered was yummy. Thanks so much guys - will definitely be back.

A friend and I visited here today for lunch. Had the Sunday dinner. It was delicious! The roasties we really good. Plenty of meat and veg too. The people who served us were lovely. Couldnt fault the place. Its surrounded by beautiful countryside so on a nice day would be lovely to dine outside. The only teeny tiny gripe, is that I'd have liked more Custard with my apple crumble and I should have asked them for that when I was there. Though the apple crumble itself was really nice. Crunchy crumble as it should be. Would recommend.

Brilliant staff ben looked after us well

Very disappointing starters was cold and very small for the price thd we had to wait half an hour for our mains and wasn't given any clean cutlery we had to use the same ones we ate the starter with mains came freezing cold chips and the tiny portions of the meals were ridiculous for the price staff was nice the pub itself is nice but dreadful food for the price we won't be back

Michelle was very friendly and welcoming , food was lovely , great service from all the staff . Thankyou😀

Fantastic menu love this place and Michelle was anazing and always friendly all staff friendly

Absolute gem. Perfect Valley setting with stunning views. Chicken sizzler was delicious, staff attentive and very polite. Very recommended

Lovely Sunday roast. Fitted us at the last minute, friendly staff and good food.

Visited on Tuesday evening after a very long and hot hike. There was no real ale available at all and the other choices on draught were very limited indeed. As I was hungry after my hike I was needing some food as too late to get home and make anything. I ordered the Caesar salad which stated a vegetarian alternative was available, this ended up consisting of lettuce, croutons and dressing and at £13 for what wasn't even a side salad I was really unimpressed. Just removing the chicken doesn't make it an alternative. They really need to do better as it was once a really good place to visit in amazing surroundings.

Ordered a burger I was expecting it to be very filling for the hefty price of £18. It was tiny and I left still hungry. The new menu is really expensive for example fish & chips £20 😅😅 the food was low quality for the price. I will come to this pub again but only for the drinks and the view.
