There’s a pub in Chester called the Marlbororough Arms. The sign writers accidentally put in an extra “or” when repainting the sign and the then owners decided to keep it as a talking point.

Not least because most of the serves are 2/3s!

There used to be a pub called Tommy Ducks in Manchester. It was called Tommy Duckworth’s but, similar story, a sign writer underestimated the width of the gable end.

Been in a ‘Swan With Two Necks’ and a ‘Gate Hangs Well’. Thought they both sound like reasonable enough pub names tbf.

A couple of unusual ones near us are the ‘Paper Duck’ and the ‘Great Stone’ - the latter named after the glacial erratic that’s in the beer garden.
