ABC of Pubs and Cafes, 2024

[Willd]

Animal related Qs are few and far between, so I had to go for a human, or body parts thereof - still technically an animal - some more than others

My next two:

The Skymaster - Westbrook

The name will be a reference to the pub being built on what was previously Burtonwood airbase.

And

The Trigger Pond - Great Sankey

Which coincidentally, is just along the road from the head quarters of United Utilities, formerly North West Water

 

[DCLane]

I've now found an 'X', a 'Y' and a 'Z' in West Yorkshire but need the weather to stop depositing itself frequently to go and get them ...

I've now found an 'X', a 'Y' and a 'Z' in West Yorkshire but need the weather to stop depositing itself frequently to go and get them ...

Ditto having found an Ex which needs a easterly ride of 88km (although a chunk could by train), Y is pretty local while Z is a metric century north.

 

[FrothNinja]

Yu, Copster Green. If you look carefully the previous name is visible. It was called Yu And You, but it would seem You are no longer welcome.

Technicaly a hotel, but I've decided I can class it as a pub, since you can go in and get a drink at the bar. I should have thought of this one earlier, we had a works Christmas do there year before last, and it's only 100 yards off my commute.

The Exchange, Cardiff (Formerly the Coal Exchange).

So to date (Been a long gap between W and X)

Bush Inn
Cross Inn
Duke of Wellington
Edmondes Arms
Farmers Arms

Lewis Arms
Miskin Arms

The Old Castle Inn
The Pelican Inn

Y will be easy, there is one in Cowbridge, and Z will be a mild deviation from my usual commute, as there is one on Westgate Street in Cardiff.

Quite possibly the best finale architecturally, it's gorgeous (well the outside is)

Quite possibly the best finale architecturally, it's gorgeous (well the outside is)

Indeed. Originally built in the 1930's as a shared garage between the Queens Hotel (which still exists) and the Royal Hotel.

For quite a while it was then owned and used as a base by a taxi firm (Castle Cabs), before being turned into Zerodegrees around 2007-2008.
