The Fruiterers Arms in Crockenhill, Kent was known as 'The Mudhole'.
The Seymour Arms in Witham Friary, Somerset (and elsewhere) are known as 'The Sleeveless Vest'.
The Sans Pareil in Frindsbury, Kent was referred to as the 'Sands Parallel' by several of the local residents.
I once got caught in a Mondegreen when a friend mentioned that he'd been down at the Groom and Widgeon at Bough Beech, he'd actually been recovering a Grumann Widgeon which had sunk in the reservoir there.
