The Ram’s Head Inn, Dolton

November 5, 2025

The Ram’s Head Inn in the pretty village of Dolton is a great destination for an evening out or a cosy lunch amid your getaway. The pub, restaurant and accommodation venue is housed in a traditional building on South Street, offering rustic charm with contemporary touches.

Inside you’ll find a warm, inviting space with wood-burning stoves in colder months, comfortable bar and dining rooms, and a menu that celebrates local produce with a modern twist.

The kitchen serves lunch at weekends and Sunday roasts, and evening meals Tuesday through Saturday, combining familiar favourites and more refined dishes.

If you’re staying at Venn Lakes and after a break from fishing or a romantic dinner out, this is a reliable option. Dogs are welcome in designated areas and the venue is family-friendly. For those who’d like to stay overnight, there are eight boutique en-suite rooms.
