Called in for the first time last weekend for food and ale. Billboard outside promoted the food menu, so we made our selections and ventured in. We was greeted by an enthusiastic bar maid. Ales on offer from memory were Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Cumberland Ale and my choice which was Lancaster Blond, and a good pint it was.
Food was of a good quality and decent value for money. Pub was relaxed with mix of day trippers and locals and staff very friendly and professional. Reading previous comments it appears changes have been made fairly recently to how it was run?

Much improved now under the current management, although I've not eaten there.

Called in today while out for a walk with our dog and was told in no uncertain terms and rather rudely i might add "no dogs allowed in here" so we left and wont bother going in again simples!
So much for needing local custom!

Nearly �3 a pint for basically mediocre ale. I think this place just aims to rip off the tourists!
I was very annoyed by the shambolic attempt on the British classic of fish and chips. The sheer audacity of the chef to put just 7 chips (Not joking) on a plate is quite ludicrous and at �7.50 makes it more outlandish!
Dont let this place put you off from sampling some very good places whilst in Ramsbottom.
My advice is to avoid at all costs!

Not been in here for a long time - how a pub can decline! Several broken windows not repaired. One room looks more like a back street cafe with plastic tablecloths. The 'refurb' of the bar is horrendous, completely ruining the atmosphere of the pub. Six handpumps but none in use despite a Spitfire pump clip being on - the best they could muster was a bottle of Spitfire!
Avoid - I certainly will be while the pub is under its current management. There are far better pubs nearby.

This pub has really slipped down the rankings over the years. It hasn't been good for awhile, but it's sunk to a new low under the new licensee. No real ale available despite pumps showing, rowdy under age drinkers and groups of people sat outside smoking weed. Avoid.

Several pumps but only one beer on yesterday, Copper Dragon Golden Pippin which was Ok but nothing special.
Fairly busy and the TV was rather loud - it was only tennis on so why the volume?
|
Very disappointing. Quite smart and has a lovely patio area but the real ale is often not on or in poor condition.
|
Ideally place for before,during or after a ride on the East Lancs railway (across the road from the station).
Does reasonable food and a good selection of beers,recently refurbished so you can sit outside in all weathers but does seem to flit in and out of popularity
