The Earl Grey Inn, Leek

I'm sure that there are those that like their pubs to retain as much originality and charm as possible, though I would argue that failing to clean the place in 50 years may constitute rather more toward filth than charm. The beer was served too cold, probably due to the freezing temperatures 'enjoyed' in this 1 room 'pub'. The selection of whiskies, as mentioned by Cyril was indeed extensive, but gave the appearance that they had not been sampled or sold for quite some time. That said, the hospitality was friendly, though it may well have been surprise that left a bemused grin on our hosts faces. One for the purist I think.
