Will Larter left this review about Earl Grey Inn

A small backstreet pub with three cask beers on (see photo). I had a little go at the licensee for his KEEP OUT tape on the front door - I said pubs are meant to be welcoming and hospitable. He said, "it's Halloween, it's not meant to be taken seriously - it's got a skull on it". I complimented him on the quality of the Bass (NBSS 3.5) and hoped to call in again, just not in October.

Strongers . left this review about Earl Grey Inn

The Earl Grey Inn has street-level seating across the front before a step up to the bar area with a counter up the left and seating to the right that sits under a television that was playing the Chase which was being watched by the governor and both locals during a recent Tuesday early evening visit. There are another couple of tables at the rear opposite the toilets, this isn’t a big pub. There’s not a huge draught selection with Carling, Camden’s Eazy, Madri and Stowford Press Cider being the keg options alongside three hand pumps. The Bass was on good form, but I didn’t note the other two options because the extremely welcoming governor wouldn’t stop talking to me and involving me in the conversation. I’ve never been here before, but I feel if I went back in any time soon I’d feel like a local.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Earl Grey Inn

Reopened again fairly recently, but seemingly a shadow of its former self as described in previous reports. The traditional, multi-room interior appears to remain unchanged, but the place was almost empty on a Thursday evening. However, the real ale choice is much reduced, with just three handpumps offering a rather dull selection of Pedigree, Wainwright and Bass (£3.70, but only in middling form).
