We also have one by that name, it was originally called Yates Bar but eventually taken over by another company who renamed it the Slug & Lettuce.

There's also a 'Slug & Lettuce' in Eastbourne, near the railway station.

Slug & Lettuce is actually a rather large pub chain, so not really a unique name. We've got two in York.

I had no idea they were a chain outfit. It's about 18 years ago that the pub in Newcastle-under-Lyme changed to the Slug & Lettuce and I seem to remember it only lasted a couple of years before changing name again.

The town where I live, Stalybridge, has the award for the longest and shortest named pubs in the UK.

The longest named pub is called:

The Old Thirteenth Cheshire Astley Volunteer Rifleman Corps Inn

The shortest is:

I was going to ask about 'situational' pub names - for instance the 'Standing order' in Edinburgh which was a bank....

But I think Vegas has hit a better tone here....

Most locals refer to it as the Rifleman. I'll pop over there later and take a photo. The sign outside looks bonkers!! :o

I wondered if that was some sort of record and bless my soul.. a sign on the wall states just that
