I'll go:

"The Fat Labrador"

or simply The Fat Lab

I would be known for serving generous portions and puddings would swim in custard.

I'd open a pub in London called The Steaming Jakey and pretend that it was named after a great infamous historical pirate ship.

I would swear all Scots and anybody else who knows 'another interpretation' of the name to absolute secrecy Grin

😂

mine would be 'The big jugs'.

Advertising slogan:
'Pitchers or it didn't happen!'

The Gettum Inn (as in "getting them in" - at the risk of maybe stating the obvious and in case this is something we said in the dark ages and no longer do, I'm overexplaining 🍸 🍺

Amiacoolorwarmcolour · 28/05/2026 21:23

The Terracotta Crab.
I would sell food including lots of fish dishes.

The Duckworth Lewis. It would be cricket themed with guest beers from each Test playing nation on rotation.

The menu would be set out as:
Openers (starters)
Middle Order (mains)
Extras (side dishes)
Tailenders (desserts)

I like this idea.

You could have guest real ales from breweries in each of the counties that play first class cricket, too.

The Cock and Womble

Chez Balonz (gastropub)

And rename them:
The Golden Otter
The Pheasant Plucker
The Boudicca Arms
