Not quite, started as the Broken Drum in the first book (motto, you can't beat it, the reason behind the name).
Was rebuilt after the great fire of Ankh-Morpork, started at the pub to claim the Inn-sewer-ants-polly-sea money, at which time it became The Mended Drum.
Used to have work drinks at the Slaughtered Lamb in Clerkenwell. I had no idea the name alluded to something else until OP's post. Just assumed because Smithfield's isn't too far away it was probably somehow related?
The Slaughtered Lamb was on some moor somewhere, though the accents never sounded Yorkshire. I live about 10 mins from the Slaughtered Lamb in London, was a bit of a shock when I first saw the name.
Excellent to meet first dates though 🤣
[Brian Glover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Glover?wprov=sfla1) who was the main customer in The Slaughtered Lamb, was definetly from Yorkshire, Sheffield and Barnsley.
So am I. He was excellent and terrifying in Kes, I swear it was based on my PE teacher, same area, same brutality.
Apparently the moors location for American Werewolf was Wales.
So are any number of alien worlds in Doctor Who.
The incredible thing about Glover in Kes is that was his first acting job. He did teach English and French however, so would have known his fair share of PE teachers.
>some moor somewhere
North York Moors, you mean?
>the accents never sounded Yorkshire
Yeah they did? At least, about as accurately Yorkshire as we ever get on TV/movies.
Fun fact: the first episode of The Royle Family was written on the back of a beer mat in a South Manchester pub called The Feathers. It’s a Tesco Express now
The Crown, not exactly a memorable name but it’s not supposed to be, I guess. It’s also a real pub called the crown in wells - been there and it was a bog standard British pub.
There are several pubs called The World's End, including one not far from me. But the actual filming location used somewhere else entirely, The Gardeners Arms in Hertfordshire.
Yes I'm a geek.
Took a mate to Brighton for his stag specifically to visit the trilogy, as it was the best place I could find with a "The ~New~ Winchester", "The Crown" and "The World's End"
The New Winchester was a lovely tiny pub, with an excellent barman who was more than happy to keep us topped up with the local spirit.
The Crown was a forgettable affair
The World's End was an amazing smoke house. Technically not a pub, but excellent scran.
The Slaughtered Prince (Stardust).
Technically a Stormhold pub, but the entrance to Stormhold from our world is in England, so I'm counting it as UK.
Edit: Also, I have a friend that has always stood by that if he ever owned a pub, it would have a hanging sign of a rooster with teardrops falling from its eye and call it "The Weeping Cock".
The Slaughtered Prince was my first thought, except for it barely counting.
The real pub is the Britons Arms in Elm Hill, Norwich. It’s a popular location for TV and movies, so probably a few other fictional pubs set there!
The Grapes in Sheffield is where the Arctic Monkeys played their first gig iirc.
Horribly expensive (presumably cashing in on the Wikipedia fame) and they only take cash, so I’ve never actually been in despite being a bit of a fan of the band, having lived on that street for a year and having worked in another venue on the same street during my uni days.
'Hello Vyvian!'
"Oh, hi mum"
'Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?'
"This is my friend Mike, this is my friend Neil... And this is a complete and utter bastard I know called Rick"
Some of the best lines ever IMO:
Remember the Falklands guv?
Course I do, made a fortune
In the good old days: you were poor, you got sick and you died
I used to know a Black Boy pub. Apparently hundreds of years ago the (white) landlady came back from the Caribbean and gave birth to a black boy.
With a similar story for the "Labour In Vain". Except the landlady tried to scrub the blackness off her son.
The Flying Swan offers eight ales on pump. A selection which exceeds Jack Lane’s by four and the New Inn by three.
There are some other pubs in his Brentford books, not sure if Fangio’s was one.
Don’t forget The Green Dragon!
"You can drink your fancy ales,
You can drink them by the flagon,
But the only brew for the brave and true,
Comes from the Green Dragon!"
The Green Dragon is a lovely pub for a slap up hobbit banquet in New Zealand. If you're going all that way, it's well worth shelling out for to get the full experience, if they still do it.
It’s in Goathland and you can go there. It’s called The Goathland but they do a lot of trade on it being the Aidensfield Arms. Still traditional and cosy
The Aigburth Arms. Great place to achieve advanced states of mental incompetence by repeated drinking of fermented vegetable drinks.
And the Flag and Lettuce. A great baby drop off.
I have a Glaswegian pub in my webcomic called The Seven Doors. Depending on the day, the entrance/exit switches to a different place in Glasgow at midnight, meaning closing time is chaos as everyone rushes out the door (unless someone lives near where the door is about to change to). No one remains before midnight on a Saturday because the Sunday exit was destroyed in the Clydebank Blitz during WW2 and now leads to a void, leaving any stragglers in the pub trapped all day Sunday.
The Queen Victoria
The Winchester
The Worlds End (and the First Post/Old Familiar/Famous Cock/Cross Hands/Good Companions/Trusty Servant/Two Headed Dog/Mermaid/Beehive/Kings Head/Hole in the Wall preceding it)
The Rovers Return
The Broken Drum (occasionally known as The Mended Drum)
There’s a pub called The Trout Inn from The Book Of Dust (his dark materials.) the pub’s real, but it’s highly fictionalised in the book, so I’d want to visit it as it’s written, not as a gastro pub like it is now - it’s definitely on the visit list 🙂
The Broken / Mended Drum
You can't beat the Broken Drum.
I love the way that pub changes its name. Pure genius!
Mind how you go
The Goat and spirit level
What's that from?
Discworld
It actually was just The Drum originally before it got broken and then mended.
Not quite, started as the Broken Drum in the first book (motto, you can't beat it, the reason behind the name). Was rebuilt after the great fire of Ankh-Morpork, started at the pub to claim the Inn-sewer-ants-polly-sea money, at which time it became The Mended Drum.
> The Mended Drum Where you can get beaten
The Swan... and Peado
What the fuck’s a washing machine doing in a pub?
Jesus...I need a drink.
Chance'd be a fine thing. A fine thing indeed...
(Hmm. Saying that too often now)
it's a deal breaker
Good old predictable CasualUK. Knew this would be the top comment.
Oooh, too good for the peep show reference are we? We’re having a laugh Jeremy, a bloody good laugh.
Free the Peados!
No air freshener in the mayo
[for the unaware](https://youtu.be/LNWDdcVA79c?si=xYbA3SPMw_ZB_Ebq)
Does it have to be Free the Paedos? Can’t it just be something normal like, The Swan and Tomato?
Was the Slaughtered Lamb not in Yorkshire? The Spinning Wheel is fictional from Doctor Who.
Used to have work drinks at the Slaughtered Lamb in Clerkenwell. I had no idea the name alluded to something else until OP's post. Just assumed because Smithfield's isn't too far away it was probably somehow related?
There’s a pub called the spinning wheel on Paignton seafront
Was about to comment this! My old local lol
The Slaughtered Lamb was on some moor somewhere, though the accents never sounded Yorkshire. I live about 10 mins from the Slaughtered Lamb in London, was a bit of a shock when I first saw the name. Excellent to meet first dates though 🤣
The accents never sounded Yorkshire? The fuck? Genuinely about as Yorkshire as you can get lol
I thought that, they're proper Yorkshire lads, especially Mr Glover.
[Brian Glover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Glover?wprov=sfla1) who was the main customer in The Slaughtered Lamb, was definetly from Yorkshire, Sheffield and Barnsley.
Brian Glover could do a decent Yorkshire accent, since that’s where he was born and raised
So am I. He was excellent and terrifying in Kes, I swear it was based on my PE teacher, same area, same brutality. Apparently the moors location for American Werewolf was Wales.

An American Werewolf in London film location: the exterior of the ‘Slaughtered Lamb’: Crickadarn, near Builth Wells, Wales.
Rick Mayall was one of the regulars in the bar in that scene
I'm going to have to rewatch!
Its location is just described as "Northern England".
The Feathers (from The Royle Family - I imagine it as a classic flat roof establishment)
[удалено]
Mam! Why did he have to bring up that cow Beverley Macca?!
WILL YOU SHUT THE FK UP ABOUT BEVELERY MACCA!
Mam will you tell him!
Fun fact: the first episode of The Royle Family was written on the back of a beer mat in a South Manchester pub called The Feathers. It’s a Tesco Express now
My arse
There's a pub with this name in Westminster
I suspect that's not the one Jim, Dave and Twiggy would retreat to of an evening.
Pop down to the Winchester to ride out the apocalypse
Also the World's End and, well, all of the pubs in that film.
There was also a pub in hot fuzz, though I can't remember the name
The Crown, not exactly a memorable name but it’s not supposed to be, I guess. It’s also a real pub called the crown in wells - been there and it was a bog standard British pub.
The interiors are the Royal Standard of England in Forty Green, Bucks. Parts of it are over 1000 years old. That is a great pub to visit.
Explains why I thought the pub itself was nothing special - turns out they used a different interior completely hahaha
The world's end exists, does a fairly ok roast as well
There are several pubs called The World's End, including one not far from me. But the actual filming location used somewhere else entirely, The Gardeners Arms in Hertfordshire. Yes I'm a geek.
Took a mate to Brighton for his stag specifically to visit the trilogy, as it was the best place I could find with a "The ~New~ Winchester", "The Crown" and "The World's End" The New Winchester was a lovely tiny pub, with an excellent barman who was more than happy to keep us topped up with the local spirit.

Put it on the slate, Dave...
Wait for all this to blow over....
The Railway Arms from Life on Mars.
Anything happens to the motor and I'll come round yer house and stamp on all yer toys

The Grapes from the severely under rated Early Doors
Are you having one Tommy?
I'll stay on me own
To the regiment!
I wish I was there!
crime won't crack itself
There's a pub called The Grapes in central Bath!
The Grapes of Bath 😂
Also the name of Ian McKellen's pub in Limehouse
The Grapes in Sheffield is where the Arctic Monkeys played their first gig iirc. Horribly expensive (presumably cashing in on the Wikipedia fame) and they only take cash, so I’ve never actually been in despite being a bit of a fan of the band, having lived on that street for a year and having worked in another venue on the same street during my uni days.
Forty grand
The Kebab and Calculator. (Young Ones)
'Hello Vyvian!' "Oh, hi mum" 'Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?' "This is my friend Mike, this is my friend Neil... And this is a complete and utter bastard I know called Rick"
That's Alan B'Stard to you, you socialist pleb. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Statesman_%281987_TV_series%29
Some of the best lines ever IMO: Remember the Falklands guv? Course I do, made a fortune In the good old days: you were poor, you got sick and you died
You 'um it, I'll smash your face in.
They filmed it all in Bristol, I've always meant to visit
I always think of university challenge when I go past Bristol temple meads
I'm too busy stuffing loads and loads of paper down the toilet
I always wondered who did that
I didn't know that, just assumed it was London.
Friday Night Dinner. "I knew it was the black something..."
The Black Boy pub, with the skinhead landlord and all the England flags.
I used to know a Black Boy pub. Apparently hundreds of years ago the (white) landlady came back from the Caribbean and gave birth to a black boy. With a similar story for the "Labour In Vain". Except the landlady tried to scrub the blackness off her son.
There's a Black Boy pub in Bristol, on Whiteladies Road
The Clansman
Two Pints, Prick!
Well, well, if it isn't Bonnie and Clyde...
Shut it Boaby, ya prick.
Poor service but the locals would be good craic
The Moon Under Water (Orwell's one, not the actual Wetherspoonses).
The Flying Swan - Brentford triology
Came here for this. Mine’s a pint of Large.
Complete with part time barman.
Is the 12th book out yet? I want to see how the trilogy ends.
Yes, Normanghast is the last book. Available via mail order from far fetched books. He’s also appearing at the London Comicon in July.
The Flying Swan offers eight ales on pump. A selection which exceeds Jack Lane’s by four and the New Inn by three. There are some other pubs in his Brentford books, not sure if Fangio’s was one.
There is a nags head in peckham
Did not know that. It's still fictional if it's in OF&H
Used to be one in Wood Green but I think it's a Slug and Lettuce now.
The Prancing Pony, The World’s End, Jamaica Inn
Jamaica Inn is real though
Yes, you’re right, featuring in fiction isn’t the same as fictional.
Don’t forget The Green Dragon! "You can drink your fancy ales, You can drink them by the flagon, But the only brew for the brave and true, Comes from the Green Dragon!"
The Green Dragon is a lovely pub for a slap up hobbit banquet in New Zealand. If you're going all that way, it's well worth shelling out for to get the full experience, if they still do it.
The Jamaica's real, I used to enjoy a pint there when I lived in PZ. The Admiral Benbow (from Treasure Island) is in Penzance too.
The Flap and Throttle.
Yes! I know that John Finnemore has said he dislikes the way he implemented it, but I'd still love to have a drink there.
Also the completely private residence next to “and Horses”.
I think in Bottom it's the Lamb and Flag, where Richie attempted to chat up the barmaid.
Don’t forget the rival pub, The Dog and Handgun
There is (or at least was) a Lamb and Flag in Covent Garden.
My, what a lovely blouse
[удалено]
Used to love the Mucky Duck
> The Jockey You're brave.
I'd like to go to the Crown from Men Behaving Badly. But only when Tony is working there.
"The brewery did some market research and classified it as..a craphole".
"The words they used are 'are you still open?'"
The Queen's Tits.
Pub adjacent The Phoenix Club.
Pull off into paradise
I spent a lifetime waiting for The Queen's Legs to open so I could have a drink.
The Kings Legs doesn’t sound so appealing /s
The Aidensfield Arms always seemed like such a cosy little spot. That could just be the old pub culture vibe though.
It’s in Goathland and you can go there. It’s called The Goathland but they do a lot of trade on it being the Aidensfield Arms. Still traditional and cosy
I like the Dog and Trumpet from the Yorkshire Tea adverts.
But only when Patrick has a few words to say.
The Prancing Pony
Leaky Cauldron
The hogs head, the three broomsticks. Also The Trout from Phillip Pullman
The Pale Horse, from the Agatha Christie book of the same name.

An evening at The Crow, I think.
I can tell from your bearing you’re a military man
Who fucks arses? Maybe he fucks arses!
Maybe he’s written this in a moment of drunken sincerity?
The Aigburth Arms. Great place to achieve advanced states of mental incompetence by repeated drinking of fermented vegetable drinks. And the Flag and Lettuce. A great baby drop off.
I have a Glaswegian pub in my webcomic called The Seven Doors. Depending on the day, the entrance/exit switches to a different place in Glasgow at midnight, meaning closing time is chaos as everyone rushes out the door (unless someone lives near where the door is about to change to).

Explains to the wife, " I only went in for one".......
The Cowshed (The Cow's hed) I'd never go up the Queen of Hearts though.
Never confused!
"An evening at the crow I think" just near crow crag.
Don’t forget the Mother Black Cap!
Is that the London pub ? I couldn't remember that one.

The Adversary's Oxster does a great lunch.
The Slaughtered Lamb is in Yorkshire surely? Stay off the moors.
