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 Forester's Arms, Prestwich, Bury

 The Forester's Ams
444 Bury New Road
Prestwich M25 1AZ
TEL: 0161 511 5866

No photographs of this one because I didn't have my camera with me when I passed by. It's a newish pub, dates from the 1960s, and like many buildings from that decade has an unprepossessing look. It blends in with the buildings on either side of it and is hard to spot until you get close to it. It has a recessed entrance in the middle, the door on one side leading to the public bar, the one in the other side to the lounge.
