Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Got to say Holcombe Tap never disappoints but they excelled themselves today. The food was amazing. Tried a couple of things on the new menu & specials. The Risotto dish & the broccoli dish was unbelievable . Service is always special but today needs to...be a big shout out to the chef. Totally recommend and will be back soon Donna & RalphMore

Excellent food and service. Our first time here and a great buzz about the place plus an open fire to welcome us on a cold evening. I could have ordered any or all of the small plates so it was hard to choose but I...certainly wasn’t disappointed with what I plumped for. The beef cheek was maybe the standout - meltingly delicious. Cheerful, efficient and attentive service from Molly and Gina completed a great evening.More

Really lovely meal with excellent service, waiter was very knowledgeable about the beers and very attentive. They offer a discount for being a member of the local running club however I didnt have my membership card on me, waiter was happy to take my word...for this and didn’t bat an eyelid when I forced him to look at my various photos of me in my running club kit 🤣🤣🤣 😬 😬 😬 Food was beautiful. Great to see a restaurant so busy on a Monday evening, lovely atmosphere.More

The sole (ok, primary) reason I want to live in Ramsbottom. To be within walking distance is to be a heavenly place to be/dine.
