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 Wellington, Halifax Road, Todmorden


The Wellington, Halifax Road, Todmorden

An average town centre boozer, with one long room, scruffy but with a slightly less scruffy lounge area near the front under the windows. When I was there, the bar was being propped up by a row of rowdy (male) regulars - or were they propping themselves up on the bar? - and I knew it was just the kind of pub where I would be accosted by the most incoherent drunk in the room, who had no concept of just how drunk he was.
