In addition to being well fed you will also get a healthy breath of moorland air at this attractive pub way up towards the Pennines. No matter, when you get there you may be delighted to find that whilst the menu is all embracing it does monitor on fish - yes, fish, two miles from the highest junction of the M62. People regularly undertake the journey to enjoy the food and pleasant atmosphere at this rather romantic spot. Note also the work of a diplomatic landlord who, located on the border, installed two window panels, one for the Red and another for the White Rose.

If you enjoy fine food and wine, then you might be interested in visiting The Pantry at The Rams Head, which is selling locally sourced meats and home produced products including pies and fresh baked bread, with a full range of wines and champagne also.
