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.

Two in Chorley, the Flat Iron and Pearsons

 

Pearsons
72 Market Street, Chorley, PR7 2SE
TEL: 01257 273467


This pub has been through some name changes. It has been called the George, Yates's Wine Lodge, ID The Place To Be, The Blob. Then it closed for a while and reopened in 2013 under its current name. There's no information why it's been called Pearsons.

Decor - 3
muted colours, bit worn-looking

ambience - 4
lively, crowded

service -2
distracted, clumsy
The place was busy and the barman tried to serve three people at the same time, which
didn't quite work

real ales - 2
They had Lancaster IPA when I was there

features - 3
TV screens
live music and karaoke
dart board
large beer garden though completely plant and flower free, so I'm not giving it a point

toilets - 3

Score 17 out of 30
