Located high up on Saddleworth Moor above Manchester, Rochdale and Oldham, The Rams Head Inn at Denshaw enjoys panoramic views out over the surrounding countryside. It’s just five minutes from Jn 22 of the M62 and the inn is a real treasure, more than 450 years old and packed with memorabilia as well as stoves & log fires in every room. This multi-award-winning venue was one of the original gastropubs and specializes in farm-assured steaks, burgers, seasonal game and fresh fish and seafood dishes complemented with excellent fresh ale & wine.

First visit to the Rams Head and definitely won’t be our last. Service throughout was excellent and the food was brilliant. A wide range of choice and we went in December when they have a select festive range on offer. They had some special deals on the night which we took advantage of, but even without the price for the quality was excellent.
