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 Waggon and Horses, Sudden, Rochdale



The Waggon and Horses, Sudden,  Manchester Road,   Rochdale OL11 4NW

 UPDATE: I passed this pub in May 2018 and saw that it was closed and tinned up.

 A pleasant, spacious pub, in what used to be a village, but which has become more of a suburb of Rochdale. I was there on a quiet early weekday, but the regulars assure me it gets lively at weekends.
