The Rams Head Inn, Grappenhall

Totally refurbished and now a great eating and/or drinking pub. Good atmosphere good beer and good quality food. Downside is the �10 per head deposit they want on any bookings. Recommended.

The menu for this pub makes everything sound fantastic, however the food is unbelievably bad. My starter looked like it had been made for a week and rewarmed in a microwave. My main meal was "Pan fried chicken breast stuffed with goats cheese and sun dried tomatos". The chicken had never seen a pan and we reckon had been microwaved or boiled in a bag and although there was a slight taste of goats cheese there wasn't any sign of any. The sun dried tomatos turned out to be a tiny piece of ordinary garden tomato. The very small extra portion of chips were luke warm and limp and again we reckon reheated in a microwave. I passed on the dessert and instead went for a Tia Maria coffee which appeared to be coffee made near a bottle of Tia Maria. The place has been refurbished nicely but unless the food improves greatly people are only going to eat there once.
