Recently I talked about an article featured on Lancashire Life website regarding several local Ramsbottom based food establishments Instagram accounts. Well, there were some missed that also are doing a great job of promoting themselves on the platform that I wanted to highlight.

For your reference, here’s the episode of the podcast and here’s the article, to save you searching.

I’ve had a dig around and found a few more Instagram accounts featuring some of the fantastic food and drinks on offer in Rammy that weren’t featured in that article.

Roots Supper Club

I’ve not actually been to Roots, from what I understand though a supper club is essentially food served from a home or pop-up location. I’ve been intrigued by the idea of the supper club and I hear they have fantastic food, I’ve just not taken the leap to go. Have you been to Roots Supper Club? If so, what did you think?

You know, when things are going alright something is always there to trip you up.

You might be aware that I’ve recently changed the player for the podcasts on the website, it now has fancy clickable timestamps in any episode I’ve inserted them in.

The tree is up at Market Square, the date has been set for the markets and if you’re anything like me you’re yet to even start buying any presents.

That doesn’t stop us thinking of the fantastic food that is on offer though and where; if you don’t fancy the arguments and required impeccable timing skills, you can get Christmas dinner “a la Ramsbottom”.

So I’ve rounded up several of the best places in Ramsbottom to eat Christmas dinner, you’ll have to get in fast and book though as these places fill up quick.

They might even be already full so do check first!

These are in no particular order, other than the order they came to mind.

Tool shows almost 300% increase in Burglaries in Ramsbottom

Sadly, some of us might not be surprised to learn that Ramsbottom has had a dramtic increase in the number of reported burglaries, with the decrease in public funding and a reduction of Police presence as well as the closing of the local Police Station, this was some said, “inevitable”.

Some have described the situation as a criminals playground on Facebook with very few crimes being investigated. How true this is I don’t know however the trends certainly provide worrying viewing.

Using a tool created by Trinity Mirror I’ve had a look at a few postcodes around Ramsbottom to try to cover a wide area, here is how they break down. I used the Derbyshire Telegraph site to conduct these searches.

How do the numbers stack up?

Welcome to This is Rammy, your sometimes weekly source for all things Ramsbottom in an audible form.

Well I don’t know about you but I’ve had to get that heating cranked up this week, hasn’t it gone cold. One thing for sure, we are well and truly on our way to cosy nights in or even wrapped up social nights out.

This episode I’m talking about one of our favourite things around here in Ramsbottom, no, not walking, drinking real ale or complaining about potholes, I’m talking food. More specifically I’m talking about an article that was recently published in Lancashire Life titled “Instagram for foodies”.

If you’re unfamiliar with Instagram, I can sum it up as being an image based social media platform where it’s users tend to gravitate towards food. If you’re not a follower of the This is Rammy Instagram page, now would be a great time for us to connect.

I’m going to try my very best to explain some of what I can see in these Instagram accounts, if you’re reading this on the website you’ll have the benefit of being able to follow along.

The article in Lancashire Life highlighted some of our more obvious local eateries in the forms of the Eagle and Child, Lolos and Levanter to name just three however it did also help to shine the light on some smaller culinary clever dicks such as Grind and Tamp and even creative cake makers with The Naptime Baker. Seriously, check out the cakes on the Naptime Bakers page, they’re amazing and I really can’t do them justice in words.
