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 Q


The Q, Market Street, Stalybridge SK15 2AL
0161 303 9157

A homely, cosy pub, owned by Hydes brewery. Its claim to fame is that it is in the Guiness Book of Records for having the shortest name of any pub in England. It gets a low score, but that reflects that it's an average high street pub, not that it's a bad one. Worth dropping into, it has a friendlier atmosphere than most.
