The cask offering has been much reduced since my last visit a few years ago, now down to just four hand pulls, offering Greene King and other fairly safe national brands: Greene King IPA, Deuchars IPA, Greene King Fireside, and TT Landlord. A half of Fireside set me back £2.50 and wasn't at all bad for a Greene King ale. If they hadn't have had that to try, I probably would have left it.
The pub is split level and as you enter from the road there is a curious space that can be booked before you descend the stairs - but further investigation revealed this to be a small room with one table for maybe six or eight - perhaps thing cosy dining or office meeting rather than full on party zone.
The pub looks like it may have had a makeover fairly recently, but nothing too radical. Toilets were modern and clean.
Fairly quiet just after midday on Friday but a couple of tables were occupied, mainly diners. Not really somewhere to go if you're seeking out interesting cask beer these days.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Kings Ransom
Canal-side Greene King pub / restaurant retaining a little character despite the work of the corporate makeover artists... Anyway, it has a split-level interior as you move down from road to waterway level plus a sizeable beer garden with various shelters. The selection of real ales from a bank of eight handpumps comes as a bit of a surprise, since the IPA is supplemented by a pair of Timothy Taylor beers - Landlord and Boltmaker - Crafty Fox from Wilyfox and Tatton's Indian Summer (£4.05).

The front entrance of the King’s Ransom, on the corner of Northenden Road and Britannia Road, leads down to a small mezzanine seating area and then down to the bar area. These stairs can be avoided by entering via the large car park at the rear. The pub is on the bank of the Bridgewater Canal so the impressive split level canal side decked seating area is a major draw.
At the foot of the aforementioned stairs is some seating and beyond is the centrally located bar that faces seating that runs along the front of the pub on the canal side. To the left of the bar, by the entrance from the car park, is more seating in the Ticket Office and Lounge. Televisions are located throughout, muted Champions League was being shown whilst some background music played during a recent midweek evening visit.
The bar supports a standard and premium keg range and I counted eight hand pumps. These were drawing TT Landlord (x2), Greene King IPA (x2), Wily Fox’s Karma Citra (x2), Bank Top’s Pavilion Pale Ale and Maverick APA. This is a Greene King run pub so their corporate food menu is available. I thought this pub was in a good location and I bet it’s lovely sitting outside in the summer.
