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 Pleasant Inn

The Pleasant Inn, 730 Rochdale Road, Oldham OL2 6XQ
Tel:

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it really is a pleasant inn to visit, very relaxing with friendly staff. There is one big open room and one slightly smaller one opposite it where the pool table is.

UPDATE 2023: I have been into this pub a few times since I first visited, it is still friendly and relaxing and my favourite pub in my area. But with new management have come a few changes. 

Ambience: - 4
Decor - 4
Newish, comfortable seating

Ale - 0
Samuel Smiths range. One of the few brands of beer that still does mild as well as bitter.

Service - 5
Fast and friendly

Features - 2
Pool table
Bingo on Sunday

The staff used to keep a supply of dog biscuits behind the bar for visiting canines but it is no longer dog friendly. It is not child friendly either. Both dogs and children have to stay outside. There are a couple of tables out front and a couple out back in the car park.


Toilets - 3

TOTAL 18 out of 30

There is a footpath across the road which leads to Tandle Hill park.
