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 White Horse, Disley

 


The White Horse
18 Buxton Old Road
Disley SK12 2BB
TEL: 01663 635366

This dates probably from the early to mid-19th century ( the houses around it bear date stones ranging from 1821 to 1860 and are made of the same local stone). It has been a Robinsons pub since 1949. It underwent a refurb in 2018-2019, I don'r know what it looked like before but it is said to have much improved the pub's appearance and level of comfort.

The beer garden is out the back and 25 yards from the pub up the lane that leads to the car park. It's smallish and is only there for the smokers, so I decided it's not worth a point.

toilets - 3

Score 20 out of 30
