The Navigation was run by one of our Fisher family members at the beginning of the 20th Century. When we shared this info with one of the owners, Sue, she proceeded to show us a document that listed every person that ran the Navigation over that last several hundred years. Sure enough, there he was, Franklin Fisher. Sue even offered to send me a copy of the document. She also confirmed the location of our 4th G Grandparent's pub, The Tunnel End Tavern- which was in the current location of another hotel in Diggle- that is near the 'tunnel's end'. I wont name it- but the owner was condescending and downright abusive. Sue was lovely- as were almost all the people we met on our journey through Oldham. I can't wait to go back!

In Uppermill there are plenty of pubs to choose from and if you are after doing a pub crawl then you should start here really as it is at the bottom of High Street. It is a great little pub and sells good alcohol and has a friendly atmosphere. I have been here a few times now and I always enjoy myself as the locals are friendly and let me join in on the game of cards or dominoes! It is a family pub and has an enclosed beer garden for those summer months. On Fridays they have a disco and Sunday is karaoke day! It really is a good night out if you fancy a quiet drink with some laughs thrown in!

I visited here after a gruelling trek through the peak district. Ok... so it was more of a pleasant…read morestroll around Dove Stone Reservoir, but it was still a relief to arrive and find warmth inside a good old local pub. It was a busy Sunday afternoon as ManU v Liverpool was on the television so the entire town rocked in at about the same time we did. As a result, there was a slight push and shove to get to the bar and our food took a little while to arrive but it was worth it. We managed to score a table in the corner, away from the tvs, and settled in with some excellent local ale. The staff were friendly and took our food orders efficiently and warned us that there was a 40 minute wait for the suet pies. We were ok with this. Unfortunately the 40 minutes turned out to be over an hour but considering the number of people in there and the top quality nosh that arrived at our tables we were happy to wait. It was gooooooood food - big servings of warm, hearty food that you expect from a local pub. We were all patting our bellies by the end of it, feeling very satisfied. Definitely a winner for anyone out walking in the area.

After a lovely walk around nearby Dovestone Reservoir, our group ventured into Greenfield village…read morefor some much needed pub grub. The King Bill has great kerb-appeal, being built in the early 19th century - so has plenty of character. There's a sizeable free car park next to it which was an added bonus. Inside, what was probably a three-room pub back in the day is now open and more spacious-looking. To the left and right as you enter there's table seating (one has a coveted wood-burning stove). The bar area which has TVs showing the footy got very busy whilst we were there, so your visit might not be as quiet as you'd have hoped. Six hand pumps including three local ales from Greenfield (Silver Owl was a cracking pint) and Millstone breweries are served together with some seriously hearty home cooked food. The portions are generous and everything was delicious. There was a bit of a wait but the quality of the food more than made up for that.

First thing to mention here is that Sunday Lunch here is pretty good and an ample size so be prepared! Also what I think is great is that on a Friday they offer traditional Fish and Chips for their customers so if you are heading to the pub straight from work, there is no need to worry about your tea!! The B&B rooms they have are all en-suite and recently refurbished so you can relax in style and enjoy your beautiful surroundings. It may not look much from the front but this pub is one of the best in Uppermill.

In comparison to the other pubs in Uppermill, this would come third. Not because I do not like it…read morebut because the other pubs have more to offer. Nevertheless, it still is a good pub and has some fine beers and drinks. It looks grand from the outside and it is inside. At weekends all the pubs in Uppermill are full and this one is no different. They are very strict on I.D so make sure you have it. They have their own parking area which is fantastic in such a small village. They have quiz nights as well and singers at weekends. It really is a good pub but should offer more to its customers. They offer food but I have never tried it as I have never been drawn to eat in here.

To be honest I was compelled to book a table here mostly to check out their massive gin collection…read more(they recently broke their own Guinness World Record and now have 600 varieties). On this occasion, however, I was the designated driver so this was more of a reconnaissance visit for my return - and I am going to return as it was excellent here. Given the choice between the restaurant and the brasserie, we chose to sit in the latter - as it would be quieter and you'd get to see said 'Gin Emporium'. You can also get their full menu served here too as well as the bar menu so I'd advise to book in advance as there aren't many tables in this section. Their Signature Menu had apparently been awarded a AA rosette, which is a rare feat - though definitely deserved as we loved both courses. At two courses for £25 or three for £30 it was very reasonable indeed given the quality of the food. You can obviously order lighter snacks from their other menus. Service was warm and friendly - we were well taken care of throughout and not rushed despite how full they were. If it hadn't been chucking it down we'd have gone for a local walk as well - the village of Delph is charming. Tip: on the last Thursday of every month they hold a gin masterclass. Tickets are £15 per person and a light supper is included.

Do you fancy a traditional meal set in the Saddleworth hills with terrific views? If you do then…read morethe Royal George is a must-visit! With exquisite food and drink, there is no better to spend your lazy Sunday afternoons either outside or in the restaurant. They have a large menu to choose from as well as a fully stocked bar. With a traditional setting and conventional features, this place is quite a picture. It is stunning outside and inside! With access to a large beer garden too there is no need for complaint. On site they have their own car park which has room for over fifty cars and is huge! With decking at the back, this whole place is excellently finished. What is even better is that they have a large function room available for whatever celebration you want with its own bar and open area outside. It truly is lovely. So if you are looking for something different or fancy a meal in the country, come to the Royal George!

You know when you are driving around looking for somewhere cheap and good to eat? Well this is how…read moreI found the Clarence. We were drawn originally by the story that Mick Jagger use to go in here as he lived nearby. Then we were drawn by the meal prices, so we decided to pull into their car park and give it a whirl. First thing I noticed was how dark Wuthering Heights type building it is. I wondered if a Heathcliff was behind the bar but sadly there were only young ladies and a big tall chef who looked nothing like my hero Heathcliff. Inside, the rooms are all opened planned and large and there is a separate dining area. Once we were settled, we decided to order and I chose something I had never really had before and that was a steak filled with feta cheese. When I say it was filled, I mean stuffed. The steak was made into a ball shaped and once you cut into it, steaming hot feta cheese came pouring out. I would recommend this restaurant for any time of day, it is not only fantastic but cheap and cheerful.

There is currently a 'for sale' (business) sign outside, so if it gets leased or sold and the food and hospitality takes a nosedive, then don't blame me and my review ..

They have a snooker table which you can never get on and I would not suggest you tried. It is one of them places where your feet stick to the floor! Great? NAH
