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 White Lion, Hebden Bridge


The White Lion, centre of Hebden Bridge

This is on the edge of the pedestrianised part of the village centre. The photograph doesn't do it much justice, it was taken on a dim rainy afternoon. It is a large, fairly upmarket pub that was once a coaching inn and is now a grade II listed building.

decor- 3
ambience - 3
The interior is very cosy with a real wood fire. But the furniture is a bit uncomfortable and the decor is dark green, which makes the rooms a bit gloomy.

service - 3

ales - 4
When I was there (March 2012) they had Slightly Foxed, Timothy Taylor and Pride of Pendle; can't remember the fourth one.

features -2
It has accommodation
Serves food during the day and into late afternoon. It is not exclusively a restaurant-pub, though, there are plenty of tables for people who are just drinking

toilets - 5
Pristine


Score 20 out of 30
