The Rams Head Inn in Oldham

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

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.

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.

Very nice meat: pigeon, chicken, venison and lamb. Right amount of vegetable to complement it. Nicely stocked farm shop as well

Great place with lovely views over Saddleworth moor. Tables a bit close together for private conversations but I can understand why it's an old building with small rooms. Food was good, really nice asparagus starter. Might be nice to have one room where tables with small children are booked as much as possible. We don't have small children and they can be a little bit noisy in such a compact area, just a suggestion, not intended as a criticism. Lovely, friendly staff and good efficient service.

What a great place to eat , excellent quality food and such a warm welcome was so impressed with the experience here compares excellent to some top quality restaurant I visited will definitely come again

Fantastic fresh food, very friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful food great service. Didn't have to wait long for our meals to come. We have been before but before Covid. Was just as good as we remember

Been here for food a few times and it's always great! Views are amazing

Our first time at The Rams Head.lovely welcome.The staff very attentive and pleasant.The food excellent and plenty of it.Theres also a farm shop well stocked, went home with goodies .Well worth a visit .

Always a gorgeous meal here and lovely wine & Lovely friendly staff always. Their shop is stunning too full of gorgeous goodies it's well worth checking out! 10/10

Staff are brilliant, place is very pretty, amazing views in beer garden. Great food and good options. Will be visiting again soon.

Gorgeous food. Reasonable prices. Fabulous farm shop, worth visiting. Staff are lovely. Great views.

We had Sunday lunch here yesterday. I had the crab special to start followed by the burger (I'm a simple soul), my wife had Thai dumplings then halibut and it was all excellent. They also know how to keep their beer, the Timothy Taylor's Landlord was as good as I've had anywhere. Thank you Stuart and John, we'll come again!

Fantastic place great staff great food Well worth a visit or 2 Still aweaome 10/7/22

Even though I live in Poland every time when I visit UK it’s a huge pleasure for me to be in such a wonderful place, a place where you can spend time in a pleasant atmosphere. The food, drinks and service are first tier. Staff is capable and ready for customers needs. Owner is young but he knows how to continue family tradition in suitable way. There is a farm shop with fresh and natural food. Astonishing view around outside brightens spending time sitting at the table outdoor. There is also big car park, so no problem with the car. I strongly recommend Ram’s Head Inn. You won’t be disappointed 👍👌

Great beer, wine, food and most of all service. We had the Sunday Dinner specials for starters and mains and were not disappointed. We had our 5 month old with us and we were accommodated very easily, the staff are very friendly. Great place for a beer or a bit of after a walk, there are great views over some of the local landscape.

Great little find, nice beer and stunning views. The food looked and smelt so good, will be sampling it on the next visit!

After reading some of the reviews for food I was expecting we was expecting lovely home cooked food. Service was great and Presentation of food was 10/10 however Unfortunately the taste wasn’t the best. Won’t be returning.

The most delightful, happy, warm and caring pub around. The Rams Head has such a family feel about it. Stuart and his team always go above and beyond to make sure that we are happy when dining. The food is delicious and the views are breathtaking. If you haven’t already, you must visit. You will not be disappointed.

Great pub serving lovely food with a beautiful view. Staff were all very helpful and made us feel welcome with two small children in tow. Has a great shop and deli as well. Will definitely visit again.

Absolutely loved our visits to The Rams Head Inn. Food is always delicious, and served beautifully. Owner and staff are always there to help make recommendations, and they are very attentive. I particularly loved their lamb dish, which was divine! Plenty of parking outside, and easy to find! Beautiful views of the countryside, and well worth a visit! I will be sure to be back again soon!!

My favourite stop after motorcycle ride around Pennines. Fantastic food and great views. Usually I go for soup of the day and a burger but every now and again a nice steak (blue cheese sauce is awesome 👌)

Came in on a Sunday afternoon after a hike nearby. Deli and wine shop is delightful and worth having a look around, but think we'd skip the restaurant next time. Staff were quite lack luster but friendly enough. The food was very overpriced - we asked if they had lunch options (thinking sandwiches, light bites) but they only served a full menu with mains starting around £15. So, we opted to try some starters instead. Chicken dumplings were £8 odd for two small balls and the sausage bites was just a sausage taken from the deli sliced up and served for £4. Not particularly impressed overall but it's a stellar place to have a pint and reward yourself after a hike well done, lovely views to be had!

Nice little pub up in the Pennines with good views from the garden & a nice drive to get there. Interesting menu & really good Taylor's Landlord (which is just-over-border local). Had burgers, which were both huge and tasty. Good food, well worth a stop if you're passing on the M62 or just local. Staff seemed less friendly than previous visits, perhaps it was just a stressful Bank Holiday.

Nice place food was great and the people were very friendly

Out in the sticks. Friendly staff and decent food.

Loved this rustic old pub, staff were polite and friendly and the food was excellent. Will definitely make the trip there again.

Great food and friendly staff ,will definitely be back thank you

£15 for 1 pint 1 large wine and a small orange juice didn't impress me but probably standard these days. Nice staff, nice farm shop and lovely views. Well worth a visit.

always great food with quality ingredients, warm welcoming staff and beautiful views . highly recommended.

Stumbled across this on the way somewhere with a friend, went in for a sunday lunch. Absolutely loved it, despite being busy, the staff were on point. Thought it would be a wonderful place to take my partner for my birthday. Book for a Wednesday as I saw it was busy as a bee hive last time. Besides being seated by the same lovely server as last time, it was night and day from my last visit. Negatives: - There was only us and 3 ladies in the entire restaurant. - No pigeon available. - Food took a long time. - Fries were overdone and tiny. - The blue cheese sauce tasted of a cheap out of the packet cheddar sauce. - My steak was pretty much unseasoned. - My steak was more medium than rare when I had asked for rare. A little bit of a let down birthday meal, maybe I set the expectations too high. Positives: -We were sat in a different section from last time that feels even warmer and more inviting. -The steak was some of the highest quality meat I've ever eaten in a restaurant! - The server was there exactly when we needed him. BUT! I will be returning to give it a go on a busier night, at which point i will be changing or adding to my review. I really hope that night was a one off.
