Drunken Duck wins the best named pub – did your local boozer make the list?

THE Drunken Duck has topped The Moody Cow, The Itchy Pig and The Nobody Inn as the best named pub.

Other favourites were The Up in Arms, The Hairy Lemon and The Dog House.

The Honest Politician could be hard to find, while The Office means drinkers don’t have to lie to partners when they tell them where they are.

There are believed to be four pubs called The Drunken Duck — in Walsall, Durham, Ambleside and Gloucester.

In second was The Moody Cow, which has boozers in Ross-on-Wye, Skegness, and Barry.

The poll was for insurers Simply Business.

Boss Julie Fisher said: “The name of a pub reflects the history, humour, and heart of the communities it serves, and is a huge part of what makes British pub culture so distinctive.

“We’re proud to support the pub owners who keep these cherished spots thriving, and we’re raising a glass to the creativity and character that make British pub culture truly one of a kind.”

She added: “Pubs play a unique role in our local communities and together with other small businesses across the UK, collectively contribute trillions of pounds to the economy.

“With almost one in five (18%) small business owners saying they will be forced out of business within a year if conditions don’t improve, it’s vital that we all play our part in supporting these local institutions.”
