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 Spread Eagle, Rochdale





The Spread Eagle
Cheetham Street, Rochdale OL16

I thought I had put this pub on this blog some time ago, as I remember taking a photo of it on one of my visits to Rochdale. But it doesn't look like I did. I remember it as a fairly average town pub with a single bar, no real ale, newish if unremarkable decor, and pleasant service.

It was set on fire in 2016 but by then was already closed. This year, 2019, it has been turned into residential accommodation, though the work isn't quite yet finished.
