The
Rams Head Inn at Denshaw and has been owned by Geoff
Haigh for over 26 years. Being over 450 years old
it sits at 1212ft above sea level and enjoys panoramic
views of the Saddleworth moors towards Rochdale and
oldham. See map >
Inside much is as it has always
been, memorabilia fills the room, oak settles, informal
dining tables and chairs and wonderful roaring log
fires. However, moving with the times, from just serving
beer and ale, the Rams Head decided to serve fine
pub food and is one of the original "gastro pubs"
Using farm assured meats, the freshest seafood and
game in season, the accolades speak for themselves
- Lancashire Life magazine Pub Food of the Year Award,
AA recommended, City Life Magazine, les Routiers,
Which Guide and Alisdair Sawdays. Food is on blackboards,
seasonal and often with a modern twist, but with a
few traditonal favourites always available. There
is a great range of wines and champagnes, with many
wines served by the glass. Hand pulled beers (Timothy
Taylors and Black Sheep) are always available.
Within 5 minutes of the M62,
Jcn 22 it is easily reached within 30 minutes from
both Manchester and Leeds and with the Pennine Bridleway
running past the Inn, Saddleworth moor and Ogden Reservoir
is a major attraction for walkers and riders. All
the Saddleworth villiages are within 10 minutes drive
and make for a fabulous day out. All in all, a great
place to visit, relax and enjoy the surroundings.
