Try the hazel tree in Corby,lucky to get any nuts in there but you may lose a limb or two

There was a pub called the Elm Tree in Clay Cross but it had no grounds for a tree to stand in and it's closed down now. Quite a few Royal Oaks round here too.

The Abbot's Elm at Abbot's Ripton (formerly The Three Horseshoes) was rebuilt after a fire in 2010 and re-named for the large number of surviving elms in the village. Never had occasion to visit but excellent food by all accounts.

That's one of my locals near where I work, there's a few concrete pineapples plastered on the wall but I don't recall there being a Pineapple tree outside it

 

Fine set of ales though

The Copper Beech at Bilsthorpe, Nottinghamshire and it does have a very large copper beech outside. The tree is probably older than the pub
