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 Queens, Todmorden

ho
Rise Lane, Todmorden OL14 7AA
01706 819917

This is a hotel not a pub, but I'm including it because it has a downstairs bar that is open to  non-residents. It's a better place for a quiet drink than the lowish score suggests. It is almost opposite Todmorden railway station.

Ambience - 2
Spoiled by intrusive piped music.

Decor - 4
Rather tasteful, natural lighting and a choice of armchairs or upright chairs, both comfortable.

Real ales - 0

Service - 2
Very slow. One bar person who disappeared for long intervals

features - 1
Serves food

Toilets - 4
Posh

Score 13 out of 20
