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 Butcher's Arms, Mossley

 


The Butchers Arms
7 Stockport Road, Mossley OL5 0QX
01457 835324

Decor - 3
Tasteful cream and light brown theme, newish, nice fairy lights in the lounge area, but I've knocked a point off for the fact that about two-thirds of the seating is the high stool type, which is too uncomfortable to use if you're below average height or disabled.

Ambience - 3
Relaxing

Features - 3
According to their website, they had pool and their own pool team, darts and cribbage before the lockdowns. I didn't see a pool table or dart board when I was there, and I don't know about the cribbage. But -
They've reinstated the weekly live music and DJs..
They do raffles. Next one planned is for father's day on 20th June,  fathers and sons who arrive together get a free strip of raffle tickets.
