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 Fleece Inn, Mossley

 

The Fleece Inn
53 Stamford Street, Top Mossley, OL5 0LN
01457 835487

This got its first licence as a public house in 1808, which I think makes it Mossley's oldest continuous pub. 

Decor - 4
Tasteful pale walls, wooden floors, comfortable seating including the straight backed chairs.

Ambience - 2
Friendly regular's pub but the music from the TV was a bit too loud for comfortable conversation

Features - 1
TV screen
dog friendly

real ale - 4
They only had one in when I was there, but it's only been a week since pubs were allowed to reopen so they haven't had time to restock. So, I'm giving 4 points as its the usual number of real ales they have in.

Service - 5
Fast and friendly
(Taking account of there only being table service under coronavirus restrictions)

Toilets - 5

No disabled access

Score 21 out of 30
