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 Best O' Brass




Best O' Brass
147 Manchester Road, Mossley OL5 9AB
Tel: 01457 832201

A friendly locals' pub on the main road through Mossley.

Ambience -5
Decor -  4
Cream, green and maroon theme with photos of the surrounding countryside on the walls. For a small pub, it has a lot of comfortable seating.

Service - 5
friendly and prompt

ales - 3
Three real ales. I had the Hobgoblin on my latest visit

Features - 3
allows dogs
child friendly
disco at the weekends
No space for traditional pub games like darts and pool. It's a small pub and narrows at one end, due to being on the end of a row. 

Toilets - 4
clean and fully supplied. Water not very hot, but I prefer that. The hot water in public lavs is often too hot to rinse your hands safely.

Score 24 out of 30
