Thread Name: BS: Pub Names
Subject: RE: BS: Pub Names
There is a pub in Uxbridge which was renamed 'The Ostler', it was previously called 'The White Horse'. A spokesperson for the brewery explained that the change of name was to better reflect the range of services on offer.

I would have loved to have walked into the bar leading a horse just to see if the 'services' reflected the name.

I also used to attend a watering hole called 'The Stag & Pheasant' which was better known locally as 'The Staggering Peasant'.
