Ranmoor Inn

Head up Fulwood Road towards Ranmoor and you'll find the kind of pub that doesn't need to shout about itself. It's the place where your mates probably suggested meeting before you discovered somewhere 'better'—except this is better, just in a no-nonsense way. You're getting a proper local's pub here: comfortable seating, decent ales, and the sort of food menu that does basics brilliantly rather than trying to reinvent the wheel. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious, perfect for a Friday night pint or a lazy weekend lunch without any of the faffiness.
