There’s a pub in Dalston that just kept the name of a former business that was on the premises: Farr’s School of Dancing.

There used to be a pub in Welling, just about in London, called Fanny on the Hill.

Don’t in my family’s neck of the woods, in the Medway Towns in Kent, there was a pub called The Who’d Ha’ Thought It. No idea if it’s still there.

Sorry Guv :confused:

If I ever ran a pub it would have to be called The Kebab and Calculator after The Young Ones.

Probably strangest for me is the OP, when I was a student up there.

Maybe not the weirdest, but the shittest would’ve been The Pub off Oxford Road in town

Used to have to text ‘We’re in the pub The Pub’. An absolute nonsense really.

My student union bar was called The Dogs Bollocks - had apparently been decided by a student vote in boaty mcboatface style and they went through with it.

On a similar note, there used to be a village pub called the Headless Woman on one of the A roads in Cheshire. Demolished now, but I remember thinking the sign (similar to that one) was quite creepy when I was a kid.

There’s a (brilliant) pub in Halifax called The Big Six. It was the nearest pub to my house growing up, so I never questioned it until I moved away and realised it’s not quite normal. No idea how it got its name.

Also, as a result I always do a double take every time there’s a story on the news that mentions the big six energy providers.

Do they play a lot of reggae there?
