Slip Inn, Rochdale

Called in on the 28th of Feb had a pint of old B B it had started to turn one of the locals told me to have the keg it was flat and no taste they were all complaining about the management who were out as usual one said. It should be a good pub it was warm and plenty in. Its a mans pub like Cecil says the language was very blue but there were no ladies in

Called in for the first time in a few years the other Friday at about 8:30. It was pretty busy in all the rooms, but they are all pretty small so they don't take much filling. There was a real fire going in one of the rooms. This is a Sam Smiths house so there's only Old Brewery Bitter for us real ale drinkers, but my pint was fine, if a bit cold. I didn't like this pub very much when I used to work in Milnrow and I can't say that my opinion has changed with this visit. However, it's a decent community local and of course being Sams it's very cheap.

A new Landlady took over earlier this month and standards have slipped badly. Effing and geffing is allowed to go unchecked in the lounge bar, so much so that some regulars have now taken their custom elsewhere. The general cleanliness has also seen a drop in standards. The Landlady is very young and seems to have little knowledge or experience in Pub management - She certainly can't keep the foul mouthed element in check but,there again,maybe she accepts that type of behaviour as normal!
