The Hedley Verity on Woodhouse Lane.

Post by Leodian »

Does anyone know why there is a 'Lloyds No 1' on the name of the Hedley Verity pub on Woodhouse Lane? It is seen on this photo that I took today (August 25 2015). I know the pub is named after the famous Yorkshire cricketer but why the 'Lloyds No 1'?

Wetherspoon's standard establishments are branded Wetherspoon's.

The company's premium outlets are branded Lloyds No. 1

From memory they have an extended wine list and microwave a higher class of frozen food.

Hope this helps Leo!
