There was a trend for a while of pub chains doing silly names: Newt and Cucumber was another. The Goat and Bicycle, The Case Is Altered, The World Turned Upside Down are three of the strangest I’ve been in/seen. And I always smile when I see a certain pub in Blakeney. I always wanted to stop at the other end of the town and ask : “Is the Cock Inn far?”

The Hole in the Wall is quite a common pub name. I've enjoyed a pint or three of real ale in this one many times:

(It's in London, very close to the main entrance to Waterloo Station)
Closer to home, this pub (which is a lovely little boozer in Bury St Edmunds) would appear to have a racist name:

but the pub sign makes it clear that it hasn't:

Some pubs have two names. This one in Norwich (which I can also recommend) is officially known as The Gardeners Arms but nobody ever calls it that:

Similarly, the King's Head in Laxfield, Suffolk (which is utterly superb) is never called that. It's always known as The Low House:

I really must get to Portsmouth one day ;-)

I think it was just a trendy name that the owners decided on when they wanted to change its image, Naomi. Although it's an old pub, that name is fairly new. It used to be called The Olive Leaf.
(It's also closed down at the moment, after its licence was revoked earlier this year through drug-dealing, under-age drinking after hours and violence. However the owners are hoping to re-open it soon: https:/

That's a myth, Peter. The real name of his pub carried far greater irony ;-)
