ABC of Pubs and Cafes, 2024

[FrothNinja]

Maybe a mistake using it for a K as that looks like an X on the sign for a fudge I unless you are lucky to have an genuine X nearby

Hoping for an eX - J & K were tricky, most folks round here spell café properly

First ride of the year in shorts and halfway there.
The Maltings - Old Hall

Preliminary research undertaken some time ago, indicated there was an "N" probably less a mile or so from here. But I'll save that, as it will give me a reason to go out again on roads I don't usually ride.

OK, I've not updated my bits for a while, partly because I've been ill and partly because I got stuck finding a 'D' after I found the 'C'. Besides A and B I got:

The Commercial, Earlsheaton

The Greedy Duck, Batley

The Eagle, Castleford

The Fleece, Horbury

Then on a 200km audax from Northallerton in a figure of 8 I got:
The Golden Lion, Helperby

The Bay Horse, Rainton

The Bull Inn, West Tanfield

Then being ill took over, so I've had a break before following those up with:

The Jug Inn, Chapel Haddlesey

Cross Keys, Hillam

The Lion, Castleford

 

[DCLane]

Then the Miners Arms, Altofts

A week went by and then a few whilst on a club run:
Norfolk Arms, Glossop

The Olive Branch Inn, Marsden

The Pear Tree Inn, Mirfield

And on a deviated commute, Queen Hotel, Morley.

L was a bit easier Big cat hunt today

The Old Lion, Harborough Magna, currently closed, but supposedly re-opening soon (when they'll trim the hedge a bit)

It used to be called the Golden Lion, but was changed to avoid confusion with the next one in a nearby village, either that or some letters fell off

The Golden Lion Hotel, Easenhall, the Hotel bit is a new addition...

The White Lion Inn, Pailton, closed for four years, but the villagers are trying to reopen it, if they can get the funding

The White Lion, Brinklow

The Red Lion (Britain's most common pub name, but outnumbered by white ones today) , Hunningham

The White Lion, Radford Semele

and finally not a lion The Leopard, Bishop's Tachbrook

The Antelope
The Blue Pig
The Cock Inn
The Duck on the Pond
The Elephant & Castle
The Falcon
The Grey Goose
The Hat and Beaver
The Bull Inn
The Horse and Jockey x2
The Kingfisher
The Old Lion, The Golden Lion, The White Lion Inn, The White Lion, The Red Lion, The White Lion, The Leopard
