Public Houses named after trees

[Paul Cleaver]

I used to go past my one on the way to nantwich, on the A51 from stone .... ?

[Two Acres]

In Norfolk I can think of The Walnut Tree Shades in Norwich, The Royal Oak in Bintree, The Cherry Tree in Dereham and The Mulberry Tree in Attleborough (the last one is a restaurant and hotel rather than a pub though)

Used to live in a town with a pub called the Orange tree that had a large sycamore in the front. I kept trying to convince the landlord to get me to climb it and hang orange football's off it to look like oranges. I still reckon it would look awesome but he wasn't having any of it!

The Wild Service tree was also known as The Chequers Tree and was the provider of an ingredient for brewing (a substitute for Hops, IIRC).

 

It was the bletted (half rotten) berries which have a high sugar content so added strength to the barley malt.

 

I was told the word chequer in this context was derived fro latin for "the strength to the grain".

 

One of the reasons this tree was considered an ancient woodland indicator was that the seed doesn’t ripen well enough to germinate so trees in woodland originated in a time when the climate was hotter except I knew of a large one which was probably only 200+ years old and in an oak wood where I doubt it was planted.

Holly bush Inn at Milford, not sure if there is one in the pub grounds but is a large holly hedge across the road from it from memory.
