John and Melissa Thwaite come from a long line of publicans - Melissa's parents and grandparents were all in the trade, and the Ram is very much a family run business. Having held the Licence at the Ram for 14 years, they know just about everyone and everything locally.

The premises where originally a farm which had a Cider Room and Sweet Counter as add on businesses. It was converted to a proper pub in 1811 and has been evolving ever since. Originally a Whitbread pub it is now part of the Enterprise Inns family. 8 years ago it was extended to provide further dining facilities.

The pub is full of little historic gems, like the pencil drawing of the pub which reputedly was produced by a prisoner of war. The collection of Ram ornaments is also constantly expanding!

Both John and Melissa are members of the British Institute of Innkeepers.
