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.

Border Rose Inn

Border Rose Inn, Rochdale Road, Walsden, near Todmorden, OL14 7UA

Like the Waggon and Horses, which is only four doors away on the same road, this is a traditional no-frills pub catering to a local clientele, with a good value pub grub menu.  It is near the Pennine Bridleway, and overlooked by rugged steep hillsides. Currently (May 2018) it is closed daily between 2pm and 5pm.
