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 Brown Cow, Clitheroe

 

The Brown Cow
42-44 Moor Lane, Clitheroe BB7 1AJ
TEL: 01200 424193

A nice high street pub on the edge of Clitheroe town centre below the castle. It looks like an average high street pub but it's friendly, welcoming and seems to be getting enough customers to keep going.  I only had time for a brief visit in March 2025 so I'm not sure whether it is dog friendly. 

decor - 3
bit plain, brown and green  colour scheme

ambience - 3
relaxing

service - 4
real ale-2
two changing beers

features - 3
darts
pool table
karaoke at weekends

toilets - 5

Score 20 out of 30

Clitheroe, by the way, is worth a visit for the castle and it's famous specialist sausage shop.
