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 Moon Spinners
31 Newhey Road, Milnrow, Rochdale OL16 3NP
01706 656077

I passed this pub a number of times on the bus from work and was intrigued by the name, but never enough to stop and check it out. I passed it on foot on the same day as my walk from Ogden and Piethorne reservoirs, it's about three-quarters of a mile from Milnrow tram stop, on the main road.
    I can't find out much about it, except it doesn't look like it's reopened. It's labelled as 'temporarily closed' online though, so maybe there's hope that the owners will reopen it later in the year when the Covid restrictions are looser, or removed altogether.
