A mere two kilometres off the Pennine Way in the moors above Oldham, The Rams Head is a 450- year-old-inn specialising in local produce and warm welcomes. Heat yourself in front of one of the log fires and treat yourself to some of the finest local game and seafood.
Wash it all down with some local beer or something from the extensive wine list while looking out over the moorland views.
As an extra treat pop into The Pantry shop next door and buy a pork, game or ploughmans pie to enjoy later.

In the same building that Tommy Cannon met Bobby Ball, on an small retail park just outside Oldham town centre is perhaps one of the more unlikely places for a multi award winning curry house.
Nevertheless, a small army of waiters provide excellent customer service, the modern decor is punctuated by a backdrop of projector screen Bollywood movies and the food is a testiment to Oldham's Curry Chef of the Year. A true 21st century curry house and one of the reasons I look forward to Friday!
