The Ship and shovel, under Charing cross, (opposite end of the arches from Heaven).
The Red Hand, Ballyclare, sadly missed.
The Kicking Donkey, Burwash Weald, which used (80's) to have a commando assault course outside, brilliant fun after a skinful.....
'The old Inn' Genep, Niederlands
The Monkey House, somewhere along the A272.
The Ypres castle, Rye (don't dare pronounce it anything other than 'wipers')

There used to be a cafe in Cowes called Egon Rodnays, it was also a joke shop and sold some "marital aids". Egon Ronay got wind of this and tried to sue the cafe, the cafe had to change its name. It cost Ronay about £30k in total, didnt cost the cafe a penny, but got lots of free publicity. It even had a visit from Ruby Wax.
Apparently one of Ronays main gripes was that it served tinned mushrooms.Comment
