Welcome

If you love the British pub, you will like this blog. Here I will review the pubs I drop into in my wanderings around my home region - urban, rural, posh, homely, fun pubs, restaurant pubs, and local backstreet pubs. I hope to encourage people to appreciate them.
I will score each pub out of five points each (30 points maximum) on its ambience, decor, service, whether it serves real ales, state of the toilets (but I can't vouch for the state of the gents because I don't use them!) and what extras it has - games, beer garden, newspapers, serves food, karaoke, quizzes, live music.
If after reading one of my reviews you decide to check out a pub, I hope you enjoy the experience. But bear in mind that I have only visited some of them once, and pubs and pub managers change. If the review needs updating, please leave a comment.
Ups and downs? Well, people drink when they're down. And they drink to celebrate, when they're feeling 'up'. Besides that, this is hill country. It's full of ups and downs.

The Red Lion, LIttleborough



                                      The Red Lion, Halifax Road, Littleborough, OL15 0HL
Phone 01706 378195
. 
Head out of town north-eastwards from the town centre and under the railway bridge.

Ambience - 3
Decor - 3       
 Comfortable. Ceramic shire horses and brass ornaments in the lounge gives it an old-fashioned feel 
                       
service - 4
ale - 4            

features - 4
separate pool room
separate darts room. This is handy because in most pubs, where they have the pool table and the darts board in the same room, there isn't space for people to play both at the same time. 
quiz night once a week
live music twice monthly

toilets - 2
They're a bit scruffy, lets down the rest of the pub, which is nicely decorated
   
 Score: 20 out of 30
