An Innkeeper's Diary is a 1931 memoir by John Fothergill detailing his experiences managing the Spread Eagle Hotel in Thame, England, from the mid-1920s to about 1930. The book is a witty and provocative account of his time as a pioneering innkeeper, including his eccentric and blunt interactions with the wealthy and famous who frequented the hotel, and his passionate, modern approach to hospitality and food. Fothergill's diary is known for its humorous stories, and for presenting his belief that the customer is not always right, which helped make the profession of innkeeping more respectable.
