What about this for the name of a pub?

Was this in Phillack, Cornwall? We went there once in early September to be told that there was no food as the season had ended. While we sat and enjoyed our crisps and Proper Job at least four other groups came in asking for food and we told the same thing.

Should have just gone Philps and got yourself a pasty.

Legend has it they found a dismembered body in the well years ago. Quite a nice pub, had my daughters christening in the church next door.

from a pub POV the pelican is a strong image to work with for branding purposes.

The Pelican Inn in Gloucester does an excellent pint:

There’s a pub in Leek Staffordshire called the Black Swan. It’s known locally as the Dirty Duck.

Similarly the Greyhound in Stoke is known as the Fast Dog.

I used to live opposite this pub that was once the local job centre.

There was some anger about it. It was a nice boozer though

Where I used to live near a council estate on the unfashionable side of Cheltenham, the local was called the Goat and Bicycle. I only dared go in there once…

I used to live right on Pitville Park. Wasn't bad there, not fashionable though. Lived in the 'nam for around 3 years, happy days

Funnily enough, I used to go to a pub in Bournemouth called The Goat and Tricycle, a Wadsworth tied house. Not a bad pub but some very dodgy hostelries nearby in The Triangle. Definitely not the place to drop your wallet.

What is this thing about goats and bicycles then? it must be based on something - it’s hardly an association that would crop up at random …

Sadly, a quick Google tells me it's just a modern made up name for a bit of fun...

Well it would be wouldn't it - bicycles are hardly an ancient tradition.

That's an inspiring picture! How about we all meet up Friday evening, sink eight pints of our preferred bev and then have a side-saddle cycling race around the car park. Back in for another gallon and the winner doesn't pay for his...

... or hers.

Pub in Manchester called the Temple of Convenience, its an old underground toilet. My friend introduced the head brewer from Hydes to it. His comment was I have been in many pubs that have turned out to be a toilet but this is the first time I've been in one that actually thinks it's a pub!

 

[Shirley Bassett]

Is it a good place to go on the p*ss?

 

[Victor Churchill]

There's a Goat and Tricycle in Bournemouth...

.. and very nice it is too, as I recall. (Not been there for a good few years though).

I've been there, I think. I remember a flight of stairs and a long, narrow bar.

 

[Dyke Busters]

No,it's an small bar, the urinals or was are alcoves in which you can sit down and drink, they still have the loos two of them M and F.

Obviously all said tongue in cheek, but these would be some id consider if I opened my own pub:

The home-life dodger
The Bull & china shop
The politician & mistress

 

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

If I were going to open a pub in an ex-conveniences I'd call it "the wee dram"
