Early Doors Micropub in Daventry

Great little pub. Quality beers and nice gins and wines for the ladies. Closes early, so don't leave your visit until last orders.

Cosy tiny pub with great selection of craft beers. Decent prices (unlike many craft beer places down south). Lovely calm vibe.

Fantastic place Visiting the town as a couple to play golf and were recommended early doors from a local. Had gin and local ales - all beautiful. Went really well with one of the scotch eggs, which was amazing. Great, warm, attentive staff and bustling friendly atmosphere for a Saturday night. We will be back.

Visited this place in January . Dark and dingy inside down an alleyway with just a couple of senior gentleman inside. Landlord looked like he didnt want to be there. Miserable and on his phone all the time. Better places in Daventry than this.

I Have been a regular customer at Early Doors since it first opened. Although it has changed hands the quality of the beer is Just the same. It still remains a real little gem with its traditional old fashioned pub feel. No bar games or loud music. Great to meet and have a chat with your friends.

We have visited this place a couple of times now and have really enjoyed the atmosphere. Good selection of beers and cider but I am gin fan and I am totally catered for.

Cracking little ale house. Good choice of ales , some local ones. Some good ciders on staff and locals very friendly. Dog friendly as well. Not expensive either.

Been coming here since it opened. The new owners have certainly made it their own. Cracking ales, gins and ciders in a convivial atmosphere. Excellent clientele and conversations to be had where everyone is friendly.

Really nice friendly atmosphere. Good selection of real ales - always something new to try. Also a nice variety of gins if you fancy a G&T. Highly recommend 👍

Lovely place with a great selection of ale/cider and gin. Lovely owners. Only thing is, that it should be open on a Sunday for a few hours ;). Other than that, definitely recommend!

A great Micro Pub with superbly kept local beer and top local snack food. Very welcoming and a refreshing change from the national pub chains. Well worth a visit.

Great little place, drinks always lovely, local fare. The Gin is to die for. Very welcoming hosts & always such a nice atmosphere.

We have started going for a couple of pints in the evenings before a meal out recently having heard only great things. We've not been disappointed yet. A small but friendly 'micro' pub with a great choice of bitters and ciders as well as spirits, soft drinks and wines so no one is excluded. Managed to get a chance for a lunchtime pint and have something to eat. Was very quiet on a Thursday lunchtime but not sure if this is the norm. We had the scotch egg, pork pie and cheese board between 2. It was nicely presented and more than enough for us - although we didn't leave anything! Good tasty cheeses (5) and a rustic pork pie rather then the usual you get in the shops. Scotch egg was delicious, not too herby as often is the case. We're converts and if you like it simple but good, great beers and ciders - you should try it.

Caroline and Neil really have cracked it. This pub has at least 6 real ales on tap straight from the barrel as well as 3 local ciders. No lager,no jukebox, no dartboard, no pool table. Just a good old fashioned boozer where you go for a drink and conversation.

First visit and lived up to its reputation! Friendly, welcoming, loads of banter and vast choice of beer and cider! Well run, cosy and heaving! Won't be long before my next visit!

I'm more of a lager drinker and as soon as stepped into this micropub I received such a warm welcoming, was introduced to several drinks that I had never heard of but was not frightened to give them a go. definately a must visit

When working in Northamptonshire I occasionally stay in Daventry as it has a couple of good short let rentals. Unfortunately quality pubs are in short supply. But then last week we stumbled across Early Doors. What a breath of fresh air.

This little pub really is a gem, a diamond in the rough! The main focus is on real ale with up to 6 beers usually available, however, ciders, wines and gin are available for those who prefer something different. The ales are normally procured from local suppliers and served straight from the cask. A great place for friends to meet and chat without any of the normal chain-pub distractions. A limited range of bar snacks are available but a visit to Early Doors for me is food for the soul.

Probably the best local pub for quality and variety of LOCAL beers and ciders. All kept very well, and to top national standards. THe variety of beers and ciders is quite amazing.

Really great friendly little pub. Excellent local real ales, straight from the cask, usually 5 or 6 on offer, locally produced cider and gin too. Superb cold bar snacks, can definitely recommend the mixed meat and cheese board. My Labrador loves it too.

If your a lover of real ales,sick to death of all the chain pubs and their excuse for beer run by managers and staff who dont care and a have no atmosphere at all suffer no more pop into this amazing micro pub with no music no fruit machines and no ankle biters running around untamed just an excellent atmosphere,superb local real ales straight from the barrel,and a genuine warm welcome from caroline,your host.

This micro pub is a little gem! Superb choice of real ales, ciders and wine. The meat and cheese platters are amazing and an excellent supper. The hosts are so welcoming and never too busy for a chat.

Lovely little place to have a locally brewed drink, always very busy but well priced and sell a nice bite to eat

Had another great evening at Early Doors - celebrating birthdays. As usual the team at Early Doors were fantastic, very welcoming and the beer was first class! Cheers!

So I had been passing this pub a couple of times last year and kept meaning to go in..so eventually I did recently. Love love love this little gem..constantly changing real ales..local made cider in tap..the gin is local made too..all delicious and great to be supporting local business

try the pork pie platter and maybe a jar or two of the ale HIC! landlady and customers of a very high quality. beer is just perfect

After visiting this tiny little pub the first time, I've not hesitated to go back again and again. The welcome is friendy. I think the furniture is all recycled - for example, the bar front looks like it's made out of old doors. There's a good choice of fairly local real ales that are presented in their casks, beer-festival style behind the bar. Wine is also available. There is a limited choice of 'grazing' food also on offer, but I haven't tried it. The place really is quite small and so there are only a limited number of seats. But there is also a table just outside the door in the mews. It's a welcome change of scenery from the likes of the national chain pubs.

Great little micro-pub tucked away in Daventry. Great decor. A real must for real ale drinkers. Lovely atmosphere and great friendly hosts. A real treat to spend a relaxing hour in a pub with no music or TV's! Bliss.

A brilliant spot for those who like to chat, relax and enjoy the character of some local produce, A terrific meeting place with a relaxed friendly atmosphere.

snug and cozy, great atmosphere, fab drinks and lovely olives! the use of unusual materials to put together the pub makes it very different

This is not a restaurant although they do have a menu for Cold Snacks, Pork Pies,

This quaint ale house serves wonderful ale, you always get a great pint here ! They also serve great wine and ciders with a nice selection of cold food platters to soak up all that glorious ale!

A real ales delight. Staff are friendly and plenty of ales to chooses from.

serves a mean rose lemonade, great olives, pork pies and scotch eggs, been told the beer is good too!

If you are a real ale lover, this is the place for you. Normally about 6 different ales to choose from, with a different choice almost every day. Almost all the ales are from small Brewers, from about a 30mile radius, and served straight from the barrel. Local ciders, soft drinks, wine, and tea and coffee also available.
