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, Uppermill





                                  The Waggon, High Street, Uppermill OL3 6HR
                                                  Phone: 01457 872376

UPDATE: The Waggon has had an upgrade since c.2015, it is now posher inside and out, with great service and a bigger menu. It's still a solidly built traditional pub but there's more emphasis on the restaurant side. It's gained a couple more points as a result.
This was taken in 2016, after the refurbishment. It looks like the stonework has been cleaned, in addition to new seating on the inside

Built in 1846, this is a solidly built traditional pub, with a bar, snug and restaurant area inside.
