The Rams Head Inn in Oldham

Party of 4. 2 enjoyed the meal 2 didn't.

Can't fault the service and the food. We were the only ones there at lunchtime, so cannot comment on the overall atmosphere. But I'll certainly be going back.

Had a great Sat night here. Stopped for a couple of drinks late afternoon and ended up staying the night and having a delicious meal. Great staff, delicious food, and stunning scenery 😋

We went for lunch on Saturday, the food and service were excellent. It was quite busy and a little noisy from the next table. The views are magnificent and on a hot day its lovely to eat outside and enjoy the view. Also dog friendly.

Love this restaurant, it never disappoints

A great experience after a long walk. The food was delicious (the chips especially, how did they do that? Best ive ever had). We had a full three courses, and while i will say its a bit on the pricey end, in my opinion you get every penny you pay for. Staff were very helpful and friendly, lovely cosy atmosphere with a good view of the moors. 10/10, 5 stars, would absolutely come again.

The worst food we've had in a long time. Frozen birds eye burger and chips Roast beef with 3 day boiled veg Acceptable for a Weatherspoons, but not at a farm shop/country pub!! And certainly not for those prices.

A wonderful place for a pies after a long hiking.

Lovely pub. We called in for a drink while passing by on a walk. It was the breakfast menu while we were there, and we'd unfortunately already eaten. The lunch menu looks great too. Will have to try food here another time.

The pie is outstanding, can't wait to have it again. Chips are delicious too.

Really good food, when it's this good you don't mind paying a bit more👍🏼

I have been visiting the Rams head a couple of times a year for lunch. On my last visit there was a new member of staff on the bar. This was a complete game changer. Previously the food was good and the atmosphere nice, but the surly bar keeper really took the edge of things. Now it's the complete package: friendly staff, good food, nice atmosphere. Well done on finding such a good replacement barkeeper.

Brilliant pub, good food and nice farm shop / butcher

Wonderful food lead pub up on the moors. Best Roast Beef. Roaring fire. Conveniently just off the motorway. Easy parking. Farm shop as well with really good local produce.

Great atmosphere Really friendly staff Perfect location Food is a* Throughly enjoyed my visit

Rustic country pub with surprisingly high quality food offering. Clearly have a great chef and it shows in the menu and the food. Service was warm and friendly and the real fire was a nice touch during these winter months. Recommended Only points of feedback, my medium to well done steak for over cooked but still enjoyable. Not a fan of plastic menus and the condiments on the table and their branding was more akin to a cafe than a restaurant.

Proper good place. Polite and friendly staff, Warm inviting atmosphere and the food blew me away. Well happy.

Five star cuisine,but the absolute rude staff make it a unwelcome experience.Moody waiter slid plates along the table,his attitude was akin to Basil. Fawlty we won't be going back !

Amazing walk around resevoirs, finished by amazing food in the Rams Head

We had a lovely meal here today. Starters, mains and dessert were, without exception, delicious. Everyone was pleased with their choices from salmon with black beans noodles to sausage and chips. Service was attentive and knowledgeable without being over familiar or intrusive. Every staff member was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Food was absolutely beautiful and cooked from scratch. Everyone in my party gave high praise and the lad serving was brilliant and smiled, which makes the whole visit enjoyable. I will be recommending Rams Head to everyone and worth the money for the atmosphere, cleanliness, hospitality and excellent food. Thank you for a brilliant time spent at your restaurant.

This review is from my 13 year old son. He came bouncing back home after coming here with his gran. He loves all things cookery and was so chuffed to of found this place. His food was exceptional. He highly rated everything he tried. We have been told by my son that myself, mrs and him must get ourselves up there asap. I can't wait.

This is no reflection on the food or restaurant in itself, I am sure it’s very nice and it looks amazing from the pictures hence why we were eager to get in after a lovely walk around the reservoir and Pennine bridle way. It was not a rainy day and granted a little bit of mud on our boots and dog which we cleaned as much as we could! We noticed the sign which said “no wet or damp or muddy dogs allowed” and “muddy boots should be removed”. (Forgot to take a picture of the sign). So yes we were turned away, this is such a shame because it is a prefect location to have refreshments after a long tiring walk. And we don’t understand this policy. I haven’t encountered this strict policy on any walks I have been before. This area is a walkers paradise but with a disappointing end! We didn’t have spare shoes. And even the “damp” dog mention is a bit excessive as if you even cleaned your dog thoroughly and then towel dried his paws you would still be turned away I think! This is for all the dog lovers and dog walkers who can read this and be prepared. I am not sure how you get your dog paws fully dry after coming from the side path which is probably the muddiest bit of the walk just at the end, do you have to carry a hairdryer with you if you want your dog in, or leave him in the car (which for me is always a reluctant decision). We want to be back….. more prepared! And be able and I give loads of stars!

Brilliant meal. Staff ever so friendly and accomodating. Couldn't have had better anywhere. Highly recommend.

Fantastic place great staff great food Well worth a visit or 2 Still aweaome 10/7/22 Still awesome 13/12/24 Fabulous staff super pleasant so welcoming Fantastic food

Fab food, attentive staff and welcoming atmosphere. Our second visit and we will be back! Thank you

the owners even rang us to tell us about road delays and possible diversions due to a bad accident brilliant attitude to customer service the food was also briliant

One of my favourite places to come to,the food is great the staff are always friendly and it always has a nice chilled atmosphere,

It’s our favourite place here - The team, the chef & the whole dining experience is like no other. If you’re looking for home cooked food and exceptional service with a view, try here. You won’t regret it.

Top class all the way! Fantastic food across the menu.. Seabass is our favourite.. And the coffee from little John is the best ever! (If Carlsberg did restaurant's 😜) 👍

A real surprise, we had turkey sandwich and beef with brie sandwich with Haloumi fries. Everything was fabulous, food and service. Would definitely recommend and will be going again soon.

Great fish butty, very filling with chips 🍟 next time it will be fish and chips to share

Popped in here for a quick bite to eat and a pint whilst on our travels through Yorkshire. Even tho it was raining it was situated in a lovely area with great views. Me and my Lady had a ciabatta with our choice of fillings which were really tasty. Staff were very friendly, attentive and professional. If in the area would highly recommend.

Had a lovely meal, deviled lambs kidney of the specials to start, kidney was succulent and the sauce was lovely. Had a T-bone steak for mains, cooked lovely, the meat was very tasty - the beef dripping chips were fantastic. My wife had rack of lamb and that was superb. Service was good throughout.

Food was mostly good but some veg was not cabbage was very dry staff were very attentive but the cleaning fluid for the tables makes the tables so sticky if you put anything down it just sticks to the surface shame really as I had been looking forward to visit also very expensive for what it is

Lovely pub with friendly staff, amazing food with the best pork pie in the county!

Lovely quaint pub, ample parking, and good outside area with benches. Nice midway break between leeds and manchester. Just follow saddleworth signs

Had a fantastic meal here. The chef deserves lots of credit as the food was spectacular. The views from all the windows are stunning. Will be back.

Called in on way bak from whitby...friday ttime.pretty quiet as it is bank holiday...Had a starter of chicken(add on)risotto. Very nice..enuff as a starter. Friend had sausage n mash...nice...

Went for Birthday lunch - fabulous food, great location for views--excellent service from all staff.

The food here was great, it came out relatively quickly and was very hot. There was a great selection and something for each member of our party. Staff were very attentive, asking about allergies and were always available to order more. The setting of the pub is stunning, with great views from atop the hill it sits on. Within the inn are also images and artefacts denoting the history of the property. We also had a brief visit to the attached farm shop. The had a varied selection too; it all looked fresh. We purchased a plate steak pie, it was amazing!

Intimate little moorland pub with good food, friendly service and a nice pint of Wainwright bitter.

Lovely pub restaurant overlooking reservoirs

Lovely food, service and dogs made very welcome. Highly recommended

Beautiful food and lovely staff the man in charge was a miserable, bossy little man who didnt want to have a conversation. He needs to get some management skills. The staff were very nice and helpful and lovely to talk to unlike there miserable boss. Reading a post that was put on a few months ago his response to one of his paying customers about there smelly dog was disgraceful. I wouldnt go there again if they were offering free steaks or free mash. Yes its the people who were in on fathers day asking if we could have mashed potatoes on our sunday roast and was told no but could buy some for an extra £4.50. 🤣🤣🤣 could buy a sack for that. And then the rude little bossy man came over and confronted us and said 'hey im not tight you know ' you need to take a lesson on how to speak to people. You recomendations are all on the chef skills not yours. Even the owner need some social skills to put a reply like he has on. What an idiot !!!

Had fish pie and steak pie , <wow> stunning service was great owner very freindly keep up the good work thursday afternoon , highly recomend if in area again knew his ales

Our favourite place to come. Always amazing food & wonderful service. The team are great, especially our waitress Olivia :)

We had fantastic fish & chips sat outside in the glorious sunshine with a perfect pint of Taylor's Landlord beer. Great views and wonderful service from all staff. 10/10

Visited on 2nd of May, lovely cozy pub with amazing views, friendly welcoming staff, had the free range herb fed chicken breast ,was delicious highly recommended, will definitely visit again

Lovely, small, quiet place. Friendly stuff

We had a meal at The Ramms Head and it was absolutely delicious. We had the fish pie and it was honestly the best fish pie I have ever tasted. It was perfectly cooked and piping hot! The service was very fast & efficient and Alex was fabulous and attentive to our requirements. Her knowledge and expertise with the coffee selection was second to none! Thank you will definitely be back again soon xxx

Unfortunately, it was very quiet on the evening we visited and therefore lacking in atmosphere. The food was good though and the staff were extremely polite and friendly.

Lovely, warm pub - gorgeous food and surroundings, will come back on a nice day as the views must be spectacular ! Great service, friendly & welcoming 👍🏽

Great place only went in afternoon and it was welcoming and friendly food was great and at a fair price

After a long walk we were disappointed not to be able to sit in the warm bar and were secluded to the cold farm shop because we had a small dog with us! Considering were this pub is located, you'd think they'd be more accommodating. Won't be stopping again and definitely not spending any money in the farm shop.

Lovely and warm on a cold winters night excellent food 😋

Went on a cold winters day and it was very inviting to see the wood fires and the fantastic views. The waiter was experienced and attentive without being intrusive which is always refreshing. We both had fish and it was hearty and fresh. Good attention to detail and way beyond the effort you would go to for an average home cooked meal. Shared an ice cream desert and it was well presented and quality food. Had deep fried whitebait starter, sea bass and fisherman's wife's pie. Would definitely return so keep up the standard!

Lovely cosy pub and the food was excellent, we had the sharing platter from the farm shop which was really good value and delicious, the lady serving us was really nice and took the time to chat to us, which made us feel very welcome.

Cosy pub looking over the tops of the moors.

Late afternoon visit after a walk. Dog friendly, old style local bub with a farm shop attached. Great food, service and atmosphere, would recommend to most but not a rowdy town establishment.

Will definitely be back soon. Thanks

Food expensive. Ordered sunday lunch expected fresh. Food was dry like it was microwaved..not at all happy expected good quality at the prices. Wont be returning. Stay away if you want good home cooked fresh food. After speaking to manager he said nothing he could do as i ate the food, no offer of discount or anthing. Absolute disgrace for the money

Nice little gem tucked away in the countryside, good food and good service. Also a nice little shop full of delights.

Excellent fish and chips, highly recommended. Staff are friendly and attentive and the views of the hills are an added bonus.

Starters were good, service was good, liver and onions good, chicken ham and veg pie not good , about the size of a Hollands meat and potatoe pie not much filling or taste, soggy veg...disapointed.

Very cosy country pub in the Pennines above Oldham. There is a nice farm shop too. Well worth a stop and a drink. Good service and prices. Great views. Thanks.

Very nice all round and excellent farm shop

Absolutely lovely service ,staff very helpful and pleasant nothing too much problem..100% going back love it

Great food, Great Service. Tanya really looked after us.

Fab place to eat drink and chat laff to Alex was fab she explained the food to us and was a good host cheers see you soon

lovely meal....but dated decor.

The roast needs mash! And I feel £7.95 for a dessert is a little steep. 😳 Other than that, food is well presented and good quality 👍

Had chicken pie wished I hadnt, smallest portion size and no filling inside very poor

super friendly staff 5 star. Food great but expensive!

We called for a drink on the way home. Interesting pub with stunning views. Nicely close to the M62

Good food excellent service lovely and polite staff

This is the most unfriendly pub in the UK I have walked 34.000km across 21 countries cycled 36.000km across 16 countries I arrived here ask for some water I then asked if the local town was friendly He told me yes we are all friendly.I said that questionable. He told me if they where not friendly he would not give me water. I told him by law you can not refuses to give tap water.He then started to tell me he could He then gave me my money back for the food I had ordered This goes to show I was right very unfriendly 37 countries 17 years on the road nothing like this before Your reply is not how it was I asked you if the people in the village was friendly .you said everyone was I said that's questionable You then said you dont have to giving me water I told you it was against the law and it was you who went on a rant and aggressive to me

Lovely setting, but totally spoilt by an unnecessarily rude and abrupt member of staff.

Lovely place great atmosphere

The Ram's Head never disappoints. Been a while since we came but just had another lovely meal. I feel this is still a much undiscovered gem. Only £6 or £7 in a taxi from Uppermill, Shaw, Milnrow and you're in the middle of the hills, great scenary, lovely food and great service. No excuse not to pay a visit. This is pub food done right and well. A menu which has enough choice to suit all but isn't massive to suggest there's no love or care in the cooking. Tanya greeted us and was our server but more of a host. I genuinely cannot say enough good things. Tanya was friendly and welcoming and exactly right for the place. Knowing her stuff, knowing the menu and having the confidence and ease. We felt relaxed and unpressured to enjoy a nice 3 courses (4 if you include the nibbles we had first). The farm shop attached to the pub / restaurant is also excellent. Our friend (by now) let me wander the shop and add a few goodies to our restaurant bill in between mains and dessert. Thanks for a lovely meal and drinks. There's a massive car park, outdoor picnic tables with lovely views of the fields and random. Horses pottering nearby. Just as good in the roaring wind as it is in full sun! Unlike us, please remember to take cash or ask to add on a tip before getting the card machine as they don't automatically add service (which is a nice novelty these days) and there's no option on the machine. Sorry Tanya, I'll tip twice next time.

Great home cooked food with a nice country pub feel. Has a small farm shop attached as well.

Update to review Had the sea bass this time and was delicious Sunny day today great view

Excellent lunch and pint of Taylor’s Landlord. The spiced cauliflower soup was outstanding. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Thank you to all the friendly staff that made my sons 25th birthday meal special today. The food was amazing 🤩

Busy pub with a good menu. Prices medium for their menu. Went again today. Fabulous food service and a large and unusual menu. I had the best prawn salad in 5 yearsfollowed by swordfish filet in bitter with mini road potatoes. The raspberry dish served for afters was delicious. And it's only about 8 miles from home? What really struck me was the young waitress who, without prompting told us what the soup was and gave info about the menu. Her memory was impressive. Will be going again.

Great place, great food and views

Lovely food, welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff everything you could ask for

I would just like to send my thanks and say how much we enjoyed the food. The lady who served us made it even better and we had a good laugh she was very polite and also a great customer service skills the food was delightful and we really enjoyed the lamb shank. If you haven't been I highly recommend it.

Great pub with a farm shop lovely food surrounded with beautiful scenery

An efficient and enjoyable meal

The food is amazing! Great service too and the views are stunning! Can't wait to return.

Love this place, Rib Eye and Sirloin are superb. Great wine selection and staff are fantastic.

Excellent food and excellent service and very lovely day in the sunshine and the snow

Amazing views, service and food. The staff are really attentive and helpful. The menu is excellent and extensive without being overpowering for choice. The fillet steak is to die for! It was our first time and this is now our go-to country pub. Hands down the best in the area!

This is a great country pub with an outstanding views from the parking lot as well as the pub. Food was exceptional, and very friendly service. Will definately return in the future.

Fantastic place, great and cosy atmosphere. Hopefully we'll be able to stop for lunch or dinner next time because the food on the next table looked amazing.

Fantastic food. Fantastic location. Fantastic staff. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

One of the less welcoming pub in Mcr. Obnoxious staff. Never again.

Nice place , friendly people and great food and service

I enjoyed every mouthful of my entire meal: asparagus and poached duck egg, followed by brie, mushroom, and cranberry Wellington on kale. I also had a glorious taste of my wife's raspberry & almond tart. A really wonderful meal. Thank you to all members of staff who helped us.
