Unusual pub names.

Never understood how "Slug and Lettuce" became a successful brand name. I know they're not strictly pubs, but even so its a terrible name for any place that sells food.

Similar with Hungry Horse. Not the best brand to have when there was a horse meat scandal. Mind horse meat is probably better than half the crap they serve.

John The Clerk of Cramlington for the OP aka. Spoons or the Travellers Rest.

Dreadful name.
 
The Arkle and Dr Syntax both named after racehorses. I'm sure they'll be more.
Weighing Machine at Edgehill Liverpool. I was in there 30 years ago.

That was the name of the first Wetherspoons pub in north London or so I was told. It had a massive blackboard with the real ales on
Spoons on Deansgate in Manchester is called The Moon Under Water. Huge place iirc although I don’t think i’ve been in for about 20 years.

I f***ing hate Spoons. They're not proper pubs. Just outlets for crap, pre cooked shit food.
f***ing awful places.
They bought the White Hart in Okehampton. One of the oldest coaching Inns in the UK.
Spent almost £2 mill doing it up. What they have done is really good quality. The bogs are now nicer than the f***ing bar used to be🤣

But they have f***ing ruined it.
It's a theme park, masquerading as a pub.
