"Idiot!" thought the well-dressed gentleman as he watched an old man fishing in a puddle outside a pub. So he invited him in for a drink. As they sipped their whiskies, the gentleman thought he'd humour the old man and asked "so, how many have you caught today?". "You're the eighth!" he replied, with a wry smile.

What's a Canonical Name?

To simplify searches, each pub on our database has a Canonical Name - usually a shortened version of its full name missing out any common prefixes and suffixes like "The Old", "Inn", "Tavern" and so on.

This means that "The Old Crown", "The Crown Inn" and "Ye Olde Crown Taverne" are known canonically as, simply, "Crown".

We've also dropped the "The", standarised with "and" instead of "&" and in some cases simplified pluralisation.

Did we miss one?

With so many pubs across the UK regularly opening, closing, changing hands, changing name it's a non-stop job keeping our database up to date!
