Earl Beatty, Motspur Park

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.
