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 Kingfisher, Greenfield


The Kingfisher, Chew Valley Road, Greenfield, Saddleworth

A newly built pub, between the Huddersfield Canal and the new Tesco at Greenfield village. The building looks unremarkable from the outside, but it is a rather nice restaurant pub with a big, varied menu and a view of the Saddleworth hills from the beer garden at the back. Well worth a visit for a special meal out.

ambience - 4
lively but not rowdy
decor - 4
very Noughties, bold colours with uncluttered walls

staff can be a bit offhand, but they're always very busy. The place gets filled up on most evenings.
