About

The Rams Head Inn at Denshaw and has been owned by the Haigh family for over 30 years. Being over 450 years old it sits at 1212ft above sea level and enjoys panoramic views of the Saddleworth moors towards Rochdale, Oldham & Manchester.

Inside much is as it has always been; memorabilia fills the room, oak settles, informal dining tables and chairs, wonderful roaring real fires and stoves. However, moving with the times, from just serving beer and ale, The Rams Head decided to serve fine food and is one of the original “gastro pubs” Using Red Tractor assured meats, the freshest seafood and game in season. Our food is often with a modern twist, but with a few traditional favourites always available. There is a great range of wines and champagnes, with many wines served by the glass. Hand pulled Real Ale always available. Drinkers are as much welcome as diners so no need to eat just call for a drink.

Our onsite Farm & Wine shop, The Pantry, is brimming with local produce. We stock everything from hampers, jams, chutneys, biscuits, snacks, desserts, cakes, tea, coffee, fresh grass fed aged meat, game, fish, steaks, pork pies, bread, wine, ports, brandy, gin & champagne plus much, much more all at great prices. Come and have a browse round!
