About Earl Beatty
Large thirties pub, opposite Motspur Park station, named after Admiral of the Fleet The Earl Beatty, who was a WWI commander, and subsequently First Sea Lord.
There are three drinking areas with a central connecting bar, plus a small side room. The front area (on the corner) was the former public bar; this leads on to a larger lounge area with a large TV above the fireplace; and then the end lounge where the five handpumps are sited.
A Dec 2014 refurbishment has led to the removal of the carpet to be replaced by bare-boarding and some flagstones; the dark wood being painted a light "gastro" grey; the loss of the dartboard and pool table (both since reinstated, but the original dartboard frame seems to have been lost); and the replacement of some of the traditional furnishings with tall tables accompanied by tall backless benches. The original oil painting of the Earl Beatty also seems to have been lost.
Tastefully refurbished over a six week closure late in 2022, it reopened with GK Rocking Rudolph and Yardbird alongside the regular IPA and Abbot cask offerings and a spacious enclosed patio and beer garden behind the pub extending between the road and the railway.

This is myself & my partners local and we love coming here… However, recently they seem to not have enough staff on for the amount of guests in the pub which is lacking service standards. I’ve attached a photo of a “portion of chips” we brought, they both fit in one bowl! After asking a lady if that is a full portion she said of “course it is” I found that hard to believe. Not only that but be wary of a few guests in there, one man tried to say a dog bit him but I saw the whole thing it just jumped up at him.

Popped in for a coffee and didn't have any food. Was a bit disappointed that the advertised coffee and cake deal wasn't available because there was no cake! However, the pub is nicely decorated and has a nice vibe. I will definitely come back to have a meal when I have time. Loved the decor in the ladies' loo, too!

I visited with my best friend and her daughters. The service was amazing. We had six small plates to share. The food was exemplary, hot, tasty and brought to our table quickly after we ordered. No words! We sat in the garden, a beautiful day and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Will definitely be back!!

I can’t praise the staff enough tonight, lots of people trying to get in but Monica kept them all in order. Watching the England game was a pleasure. 10 out of 10. Also the sharing plates were outstanding.
