The Widows Son

The story behind this pub is good, but that’s where it stops. It’s not a good pub.
The story runs that at the start of the 19^th century, when this was just a house, a widow had a son in the navy. He was due to return home on Good Friday and asked for his mother to bake some hot cross buns. This she did, but he never came. But never the less each year the woman made a bun ready. When she died they were all found hanging from the ceiling. When a pub was built, they carried on the ceremony; each year a sailor brings another bun. You can see the current buns (sorry!) in the net, and some of the sailors hats on a shelf behind the bar (they leave one each year).
More tragically, they only have keg beer, no cask. No pub for me.

This pub as a history like no other, its also called the bun house, the reason for this is every year at easter they add a bun to a basket suspended fron the ceiling. ?read more and comment please. mysteries of your local, Qype groups
