The Earl of Lichfield, Lichfield

A nice pub. I'm guessing its been done up since the last review. 5 handpumps and all were on. Marston's beers mostly. It certainly isn't the least impressive now.

This was the least impressive of the pubs visited on our pre-match crawl of Lichfield, in fact I would go so far as to say disappointing. The powerful fishy smell of someone's lunch that hit me upon entering didn't make a favourable first impression, and add to this the slightly manic feel about the atmosphere that I detect in shopping street pubs and you'll maybe get an idea of why I drank up quickly and left. Beers were from the Marstons range, of course, and the half of Ringwood Best that I sank left little impression.
