‘Fetch something from the nailbox’
For generations, employees of a nearby woodworking shop would say they were going to ‘fetch something from the nailbox’ - a euphemism for nipping out for a swift glass of beer. In 1971, the pub bowed to popular demand, and made the name official.
The rest, as they say, is history.
