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.

Dog & Tunnel

Just a lovely country pub where dogs would be allowed. So all the haters have to eat somewhere else!
My menu would be comfort food all fresh and organic. It would also feature an extensive vegetarian & vegan options. I'd have an extensive kitchen garden so most of the veg would be homegrown.

There would be a little treat menu for the dogs, each dog would get their own water bowl!

I think either The Golden Age - all themed around golden age detective fiction and lots of books/cosy reading spaces - or The Witch’s Hat and make it all starry and velvety inside with strange potions.

15minutesaday · 28/05/2026 22:05

The Prince Albert, the sign would have a massive willy with a piercing.

Mumsnet themed - the Spider's Willy, the sign would be a spider with 9 legs..

Somerhalders Arms, just in case a certain Ian was ever in the area. Plus it's where I dream of being (though I'm really too old to be crushing!).

There's a micro pub called 'The Handsome Sam' in Whitstable accompanied with a pub sign of a beautiful tuxedo cat - I've never been in, but I'm lured by the signage..

I have a selection:
The Gallifrey (niche) (sign is gallifreyan for 'pub')
The Pankhurst Arms (sign is Emmeline, Christabel, Sylvia and Adele in the Queen bohemian rhapsody formation)
The Bedknob and Broomstick (Angela Lansbury with a raised eyebrow)

I saw that today! But closed due to the water being turned off in the area 😕

The Hungary Biscuit. After my Hungarian rescue dog. Will have a cheevenings. Cheese evenings, where crackers, crusty bread and pickles are served.

VanillaTime · 28/05/2026 22:19

The Precious First Born (sounds a bit sinister!)
The Fanny Gallops
The Picky Bits
The Cancelled Cheque
The Naice Ham
The Left Bastard
The Lodged Cock

etc etc

The vicious otter

Im imaging a tough otter type pet as security here.

AltitudeCheck · 28/05/2026 22:28

My upmarket wine bar would be called Moderation so you could always drink in Moderation.

My pub would be the Man in the boat

Cheevenings is a good name for a pub.
