The Rams Head Inn in Warrington

We love The Rams, it's our local and we are always in for a drink and enjoy the lovely busy atmosphere it's lacked before it's recent owners. However, since the new take over, we have heard mixed reviews about the food. Thought we would give it a go and we were left disappointed in the food. The fish and chips was lovely but should be advertised as fish and fries! Felt robbed of a proper fish and chips and would suggest a change to the menu here. I didn't get a picture of the £9 calamari and again whilst tasty, I paid £9 for 5 rings of calamari and it felt like daylight robbery! I understand times are hard and we do not shy away from paying out but based on our experience today I would not be recommending the food. Great if you want a pint with a lovely atmosphere!

We decided to head here for a nice family meal and have always had good food and service in the past! However today was a very different experience, very slow service and the food was worse than the service. The chicken schnitzel was more like a deep fried chicken Kiev and the pasta was also swimming in grease! We was not asked if everything was ok with the food, only asked if we wanted more drinks when we had only just got our first drinks and nobody cleared the table or offered a desert menu..very poor

Service was slow, food was average. The pub was freezing cold I had to ask for the heating to be put on.

I picked this pub out because I liked the sound of the crispy beef salad. Turned out to be a good decision to go there. It was delicious. The side order of freshly cooked skin-on fries were equally good. All this washed down with an excellent pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord. The staff were attentive and friendly without being overbearing.

Nice place for a pint with comfy seats

Nice for a drink and to see friends

Such a lovely warm and welcoming little gem set in a beautiful village scene and great food. Would definitely recommend

The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent

The service here was some of our favorite while traveling in the area. The sticky toffee pudding is a must.

A group of 8 of us, and 4 dogs, had lunch today after a dog walk. We all chose from the lunchtime special of a meal and a drink for £10, the food was lovely and served to us quickly, the staff were very friendly but professional, they provided dog water bowls too. This was our first visit here, but it definitely won't be the last.

Hadn't been here for a few years so we thought we'd give it a go again as we always enjoyed the food. Unfortunately we were disappointed. The soup was served lukewarm after waiting 25 mins. However, when reheated it was very nice. The main courses were a complete disappointment. The trout was overcooked and very dry, the garlic prawns were bereft of garlic and the potatoes dry. Although the chicken and ham hock filling was quite nice there were two pieces of chicken and one piece of ham inside. The pastry was rock hard. In summary, the service and atmosphere was good but the food was poor.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Nice pub. Only went for a pint & the football scores. Eventually it was changed over from the news, which is always bad & why we go to pubs to get away from

Excellent place to eat. Had lunch there with my family. The "Proper Club Sandwich" is absolutely superb. Great customer service. From chatting to the landlord he seems like a really nice bloke. Well 100% return when next in the area, and try one of the mains.

I had a fantastic time at this cozy pub! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening. The food was excellent—well-prepared and delicious, with plenty of variety. Whether you're looking for a casual drink or a hearty meal, this place has it all. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and a friendly, laid-back vibe

Great place with a very welcoming atmosphere! Desert was delicious and live music made my day

Great community pub that has been taken over by new owners. Food and service has really improved and you can see with how friendly and welcoming it is and how busy its getting again.

Good food, good service, dog friendly, great local pub.

Simply. The. Best. A Grappenhall favourite now back in full swing. We had a fabulous Sunday service from Jason, Jev and all the cool crew. Sunday roasts and hot puddings with a cheese board all round. Fabulous drinks and hot coffees to finish. Looking forward to making my way through the menu and their upcoming live music and village events. 5⭐️ Aimee looked after us as usual, see you soon 😎

Been there a few times now and each time the hosts are very welcoming, the food is good and the atmosphere is great

Popped in today for a pint and quick lunch had the steak sandwich which was lovely only downside was it was very quiet surprise it was though seemed like a lovely pub very friendly people

Very nice food good experience 😊

Welcome return We used to come to the rams a lot we live local we stopped coming because it became very stagnant with miserable staff and the food was always full of oil and bland. Friends of ours came on Friday and said it was busy and friendly and food was fabulous So we came on Saturday I must say what a turn around the atmosphere was lovely the staff where very helpful and the food we where really surprised it was delicious I had the pasta and my husband had the double burger. Thank you for a lovely evening Will return

Went with the Mrs, both had pies, food was good as was the service , would return

Good food good atmosphere friendly staff 👍

One of our favourite stops between Manchester and Kendall.

Popped in for some nibbles.. lovely atmosphere and brilliant service! Will be back☺️

What a delightful pub with really lovely staff. The decor is really nice, well kept and homely and modern. The man who took our order knew we was in a rush and he made sure everything came out on time. Food very food quality and prepared with love. Excellent place and highly recommended

Not a pub for ale lovers. 5 handpulls available. We tried 3 different ones and all were awful and had to be returned. It would be better not to serve any ales at all if they can’t be properly looked after.

I love it here and the new management have the right approach in all areas I have been coming back so often I am considering moving back to the village permanently

The food was perfect. We waited almost an hour and a half for mains. The girl waiting on was very apologetic but said they only had one chef on. It this had been told to us to begin with it wouldn’t have been a problem. Manager disinterested and brushed us off. Was told all chefs were in - making his staff out to be liars. We will not return

The experience was poor. The Rams Head due It’s great location in spaciousness and general pleasant building is gonna get two stars however the food is I was your stair last paragraph overpriced and poor. It’s really quite sad that that the latest change in management has not brought in better fortune and I feel this is the end of it sight already.

They didn't have a printed gluten free menu, so we asked and was told to scan the code....15 mins later after almost giving up...we finally got an on line menu, only to find there was no real gluten free menu... could she have just said it was limited to 2 meals 🤔 so we went next door to Parr, which had an amazing gluten free ...printed..menu!!

Under new management again, but this time it feels different. A real community feel with locals running the pub. The food was delicious (especially the salt and chilli calamari) and service was really friendly.

Lovely place very busy great atmosphere Lovely bar staff we had fun it was a good eve in there

What a loverly place 2 eat a sunday lunch been a while since we went out for one little bit expensive 2 what I normally pay but presented and cooked well also toilets areas around bar spot on clean loverly well in front of bar you can walk over

Only scored 3 on Atmosphere, as it was a Tuesday evening, and very quite, service & staff were 5 star, as was the food. Disappointed i couldn't leave a tip with card payment. Will definitely be back soon

Unfortunately, didn't meet expectations. We popped in on a Sunday and decided to stay for food. For starter we ordered mushrooms on sourdough toast with spinach and mozzarella cheese. When it arrived the mozzarella was substituted for a soft boiled egg, this wasn't mentioned upon ordering. Also find it cheeky that they subbed the cheese for a much cheaper alternative yet still charged the same price of £8. It wasn't worth £8. When ordering the main, we went for the chicken Sunday roast. Upon ordering we were told there is no bread sauce and no cabbage. No reduction in price here either. When the meal arrived, as you can see from the picture, for £17 it's a meagre portion. The pig in blanket was missing and the stuffing seemed like it was from a packet mix and had been mixed with boiling water only and not put in the oven meaning it was soggy. The meal was also incredibly salty and the chicken was from the leg, so the cheapest form of meat they could have used. The pub itself is in a nice area and is aesthetically pleasing, but I would only recommend stopping for a drink, there are much better places to eat locally.

Very slow service and average food.

Fish and chips , all batter fish not cooked, not worth the money, had better from weather spoons.

There seems to be a better atmosphere here now fresh flowers everywhere and smells lovely I have not had any food yet but it looks good.

Lovely pub, staff were all so welcoming. Found this place as it was half way between me and my friend, we met up for a spot of lunch and it was fabulous. Great food, reasonable prices and great atmosphere, i will be back 😀

The service today was appalling. The lady who took our order got it wrong twice. Firstly, I ordered a bitter shandy and I received a bitter. Food took over an hour to arrive as did dessert and I ordered a single scoop of ice cream and received the morello cherry Sundae despite a second waitress coming back to confirm my order. My husband ordered the brownie for dessert and received the kids portion and the crumble which came out later than all the other desserts was inedible as it was burnt. The waiting time for meals across the restaurant was shockingly poor. The manager looked like a deer in headlights. I felt sorry for the wait staff as clearly they were taking the brunt of customer dissatisfaction. They’ve lost a customer.

Lovely pub, good food, lovely drinks and staff are great. Sean is a top guy. Place is quite pricey but lovely location.

Stopped off for a meal on the way to Lymm. Had the pie of the day which was very nice. My wife had the cheese and onion pie which was excellent and recommended. The vegetables include leeks these were also excellent. Not impressed with the chips though as they should have been triple fried.

Me and my girlfriend both had a steak burger which was absolutely delicious, then for dessert we shared a homemade bakewell tart with custard and it was amazing I would definitely recommend. The staff are friendly and there is a great atmosphere really nice pub we will definitely be back. Thank you for your amazing hospitality rams head Inn.

Dog friendly clean quite place.. Service🙄 bit slow.. We was ready to leave

Called for lunch today and what a lovely friendly place this was and the food was amazing and very friendly staff ,would def visit again

Nice meal. Very quiet considering valentines evening. Limited choice om menu

Lovely bar, lovely staff and lovely food, although portions are a little mean.

Christmas Dinner and atmosphere Excellent.

Generous portions and good service.

Food on Christmas day was really good , if a bit pricey. Service was also good, considering how busy it was .

We booked in the Rams Head for our office Christmas lunch, booking was for 1pm, first starters (only a handful of us) arrived around a hour and 40 mins later with mains filtering out roughly 2 hours in. The Turkey could only be described as a slab rather than slices but I can't comment on the taste because I went instead went for the Festive burger. While the Festive part seemed to be mainly down to the fact that it came with a watery gravy to dip the tiny portion of chips in, the burger was nice enough although I've had far better in similar establishment. By the time it came round for the Chocolate orange cheesecake our whole party were ready to go and we got desert to go so I can only comment on the consistency once I sat down on my which was very much defrosted gritty vanilla, drizzled in a chocolate orange sauce and very much what I would expect from the brakes basic range. As for service we were asked for drinks when we first arrived and never again for the entire time we were waiting, no one came to apologise for the horrific wait and no one seemed to care. All in all I certainly can't recommend based on my experience I understand that a office booking is not the norm but if you can't Staff/Cook to take those bookings then don't accept them. The location is quite nice though.

Fab pub with great food and a wide selection of cask beers, we keep going back for more.

After funeral catering and drinks. Warm and cosy. Good service and food.

Had a good afternoon nice place

Called in on the way to Warrington, pleasantly surprised, what a wonderful area and place to stay Food was amazing, and followed with great service Just saw the sign at the end of the road

Food quality a bit hit and miss recently

Lunch for 4 and all very happy. Relaxed but pleasant and attentive service. Menu a bit on the small side pie, burgers, fish and chips, fajita plus a few nibbles and starters but all done well and a good draught bitter. A very good venue for a family lunch.

A typical English pub with good food. The service could be a little better. All in all, a nice place.

I had stopped going to this pub many years ago because quite frankly the food was not all that good. However, we were asked by friends to dine out one lunchtime and they chose the Rams Head. I was actually quite surprised, it has new owners since I had dined there previously, and we all had very nice meals and the staff were very friendly. It's in an excellent location in Grappenhall village and nicely decorated inside with lots of room. It also has a large carpark and outside eating area. I would be more than happy to dine there again.

Please be aware we have just been here for a birthday meal expecting to have a nice rump steak meal as shown in there pictures online they do not do steak or gammon or any other plain food so disappointed will not be going again was hoping it had changed for the better but sadly not last time we ended up calling in to a fish and chip shop on the way home they need to remove the photo and old menus as this is false advertising totally spoilt my birthday treat that my boyfriend had organised

Nice meal. Friendly staff. Table service. Was busy.

Great food and drink, lovely line up of beers on tap too.👍

It’s not a bad place, service a little slow — but seems like a place where the staff know everyone by name so it’s probably a community pub … anyway, the food was decent enough, though it was weird that the chips felt like they had come straight from a chippy rather than the usual way that they’re prepared haha… a pleasant surprise but I would’ve rather had more of them, than more of the salad (that was a little too much for me to be honest) — not sure if there’s much reason to be back but it was just fine for a one-off

Nicely done up pub retaining some of its old charm. Sort of place you’d come for a family meal maybe or a couple of pints. Very nice vibe outside i huge front on the cobbles. A few real ales on. Large outside seating area. Quite a smart pub.

Lovely pub grub with great service from the staff. Never seen a ploughman's cheese board served on a whopper long plate before, really well presented ****

Fantastic pub in a perfect location. Although I didn't eat the food that I did see others eating looked amazing.

Great pub in Grappenhall Village, such a peaceful location for a quiet cider on a hot sunny day, great service and food

Went with family for a meal we all enjoyed staff are friendly

Despite dining during what seemed a quiet period, service was polite but very slow. The food was tasty, not massive portions, just right. The menu selection was quite limited, but vegetarians are catered for. 2 mains, 2 soft drinks and a coffee came to around £35. We would go again, but not if we were restricted on time.

The food was delicious, we had the ploughmans with sides but could do with a bit more bread, a large pickled onion and another chutney. The roast dinner that went to the next table looked divine aswell.

Pleasant bar with good value pub grub

Visited on Sunday 6th August for a birthday celebration meal and had a fantastic experience. Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. Would definitely come back and highly recommend!

Lovely rural pub inside and outside eating areas. Plenty of free parking. Wheelchair friendly with a lift to the main bar area.

Lovely pub, friendly staff, nice cobbled street

Gorgeous little pub, set back from the main roads it's so quiet and peaceful. Inside is lovely, really nice menu to choose from and plenty of drinks! Will be going for food one night 100%

Tried the new lunch menu, was very tasty excellent chips.

Lovely big pub..Next door to Parr’s Arms Car park is massive Out door sun trap and pods if raining Staff are great and jolly Not massive selection of food but is very good If you don’t try you’ll never know Good selection of wines and beers Space for families especially if have prams

Family friendly pub with good service and a large car park. Food is great too.

Possibly had the most overcooked dry chicken & corn on the cob ever. £15 and the only thing edible was the chips. Extremely disappointed & I brought all my family.

The pub is very expensive & the toilets aren't clean at all

Ordered the steak and ale pie microwaved. Had better at the local rugby match

We booked a table for 10 people (6 adults, 4 children) as part of a family get-together. There was a long wait to order food, then a long wait for starters, then a long wait for main courses. When the food did arrive, adults were served first but the children were left waiting until we asked about it. Eventually just our hungry 4-year old son was left waiting for his pizza. Again, we needed to ask about it and it arrived 10 minutes later. There was no apology from the waitress, who muttered under her breath accusing us of being rude for suggesting this wasn't okay. The manager did apologise when we spoke to her about it but was full of excuses about freshly cooked food and a "backlog". Our table was booked for 5.30 and the restaurant was half empty, so we dread to think what the service is like at peak times. The food was just fine but not great.

Excellent service and food along with lovely safe environment.

Friendly staff and lovely location. The beer garden is cozy and has pods for if it's raining

Lovely meal apart from one of the burgers had the incorrect cheese topping.

Real traditional British Pub with Nice outdoor seating. Good service , and beautiful green trees and brushes everywhere.

A lovely location in Grappenhall with a pleasent outside area to the rear. Quite a large pub actually.

Disappointing! Used to be good for food.. have they changed the chef??? Or are they just cutting corners? Lovely for a drink but avoid food! Sorry Rams Head but we will not be coming for food again! Fathers day ruined!

Poor ploughmans lunch how can you get that wrong, but you did. Been coming here for 18 months since leaving London Saturday was the last time. What a shame rotten salad chewy ham and an egg that looked like it had been on the floor . I wish I’d taken a picture. Waitress said what do you want me to do about it? I think she should have known but clearly didn’t. Bring back the old staff…….

Lovely food and great gentleman serving us. We were a large group and he got all the food out and to the correct people alone. Very efficient

Waited over an hour for food to arrive. Over priced poor quality food with frozen chips. Shame as it's in a lovely area.

Visited midweek for a special occasion, I booked but didn't have to as it was almost empty. Very average meal, I won't be returning.

Lovely outdoor area, good mix of drinks, all made better by the sun

Nice wee afternoon having a few drinks enjoying the summer weather. i would highly reccomend the slider banquet ..was really good

We stopped in for a pint after a walk. A well kept pub with friendly staff, and a reasonable selection of beers. It's bigger than it looks from the outside, where there's a nice area to sit and watch the world go by.

What a find this place is. Food was great and reasonably priced too. Great selection of drinks and great service. Can't fault the place. I ordered the large gammon and it was a big thick piece of gammon. Fabulous.

Nice as a pub, dog friendly at the front. However the food was fairly awful and expensive. I'd go again for a pint but wouldn't eat there.
