The Earl Beatty, Motspur Park

This once was a very welcoming and easy going pub. Unfortunately the current management don't seem to know what they are doing. The land ladies partner is rude, unwelcoming and on numerous occasions has driven customers out. The land lady never has the kitchen open unless the proper chef is working. As soon as the chef leaves the manager closes the kitchen even though on all the literature says the kitchen SHOULD be open till 8:30. On top of this there is ALWAYS something that hasn't been ordered and is not available on the menu.

To be honest it feels like they don't want to be there half the time. The normal bar staff can be a little day dreamy, but on the whole are friendly and do the best they can under the circumstances.

Perhaps with the correct management, a few licks of paint here and there as well as a HUGE air freshener for the gents toilets this pub could be back to former glory.
