Ramsbottom, has in recent years became the unexpected foodies destination of choice for the North. With it’s short drive down the M66 and tucked away in the valley recess of Holcombe Hill, Ramsbottom has gone through many facelifts, but it’s current trend has people drooling over the options.
With around 20 restaurants in the heart of Ramsbottom alone, an area less than 0.08 square miles, it’s made very easy for customers who are able to go from restaurant to bar in a moment, even if braving some of the hills on a full stomach could be a challenge. As most restaurants in Ramsbottom are licensed though, you can have a drink at the bar until you feel a little more balanced, or not, as the case may be.

This week on This is Rammy, I chatted with with Charlotte, owner and resident of The Grant Arms Hotel.
The Grant is one of the most noticeable buildings in Ramsbottom. Originally called “Top Oth Brow”, once a private house, it was then bought by the Grant family who renamed it to Grant Lodge.
In 1828 the house became a hotel, even undergoing a facelift in 1852 where a clock was added to the front of the building and adorned with that date.

Ramsbottom business group have for the second year running, announced a date for the cake festival. Due to take place on June 28th 2015, this will be the second time the cake festival has been in Ramsbottom.
Currently Ramsbottom has many festivals on throughout the year including a pie festival, folk festival, beer festival and of course the chocolate festival.
Almost every weekend there is something happening in Ramsbottom for locals and visitors to enjoy often with the closing of Bridge Street to create a pedestrianised zone.
