Eagle and Child, Ramsbottom

Chosen predominantly on its location, not too far away from my cousin with whom we were to have lunch the following day. Arriving after a pig of a drive up from Dorset, it was very pleasant to find the building in general, and our room, Little Owl, in particular and the staff were all delightful. The room was clean and comfortable and it was a bonus to find that there was a voucher in the room for a complimentary drink in the bar; which after our drive was very welcome and sorely needed! We hadn't intended to have anything to eat but fancied something with our drinks and can recommend their pigs in blankets and olives. Wish we had had a second night.

Overpriced and food underwhelming. Paella had tiny amounts of fish and the cheese board was pathetic at £9.00. 2 small pieces of cheese , some tiny biscuits and some honey. Just not what you would expect on a traditional cheeseboard. I complained about cheeseboard but it was left on the bill. £82 for 2 people for lunch. Aspirations of grandeur but average quality. Much better places and better value for money locally. I actually felt ripped off

The first disappointing meal I have ever had here. Starters of haddock goujons and pork cheeks were good, with wonderful crackling. Two of us ordered Sunday roast beef. That was mostly lovely with the beef nicely pink. The other two had no starter so were looking forward to their turkey roast - and it was hugely disappointing. Firstly, we were expecting a bit of tender turkey breast and leg meat with a portion of stuffing, it being close to Christmas. Instead we got what looked like preformed turkey shapes wrapped around a tiny amount of stuffing which we couldn't taste. It was fairly tough too. The potatoes were hard, on the outside and inside, and that was the same for all of us. The veg were pretty much ok, though a hard sprout is not to everyone's taste. We love coming here, but I'm sorry to say I wouldn't recommend the turkey roast as it's currently being presented.

Perfect weekend stay at this outstanding accommodation with our family! We booked 3 rooms for our stay, the rooms are all very different, furnished to an extremely high standard with everything you could possibly need. The staff went out of their way to make us feel very welcome. Food was amazing, gorgeous breakfast included with good choice. We also dined in the evening, everybody loved their food, highly recommended the steak and ale pie! We’ll definitely be coming back!

Absolutely perfect place for a classy night out! Delicious food and wonderful service. Also a charity so great to support, but you would never guess that because the service is exceptional. If you can, book a window table so you can look at the hills as you eat.

Just left the Eagle & Child in Ramsbottom after Sunday dinner. The food was excellent but have to say the service was superb. Have to say thank you to the staff who were on site namely Georgina,Kiya,Beau,Freya and special thanks to Lewis who is a credit to the establishment. Thanks to you all for an enjoyable afternoon.
