This is probably an allusion to the the fable of the fox and the grapes.
The fox had been trying to reach a bunch of grapes to eat them. However, he struggled but could not reach them however he tried. Disappointed, but not wanting to appear a failure, he declared them to be sour and not worth eating.
At the time of writing, this pub is closed and a new owner sought.
