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 Spinners Arms, Springhead, Oldham





The Spinners Arms
Woodbrook Road, Springhead, Oldham OL4 4BS
TEL: 0161 691 8537

Although it's in the middle of a housing estate, and not that far from a main road, this pub seems rural because its near the end of a road that ends in fields. You can drive to it via Woodbrook Road, or it's a short walk from the 350 bus stop on Huddersfield Road. Or you can get to it on foot from Oldham Road at Grotton, then Radcliffe Street and Stonebreaks bridle path, which joins Woodbrook Road after three-quarters of a mile.

    Was wondering if JW Lees cask bitter doesn't count as a real ale? As this is our best seller in the pub.. We also have 3 Tvs which show all major sporting events and we also have a pool table and dart board in our Tap room which proves extremely popular especially at weekends...
