The idea of being a unique pub or somewhere with an odd description or selling point is one which can be hard for a pub to live up to.
Whether it's due to being the highest pub in the country, the most remote, the oldest or the newest, having a unique place or setting can make or break a pub.
One pub which has taken on a title previously owned by a much-loved and much-missed pub is the Tilted Barrel in Tipton, which has taken the moniker of "Wonkiest pub" following the sad demise of the Crooked House in Himley in a suspected arson attack in August 2023.
The Grade II listed building on Princes End High Street, which has been part of the community for more than 200 years, had looked in jeopardy itself a year ago as it had gone up for auction and had failed to sell, but it was bought by Ian Riaar.
Mr Riaar, who owns a number of other pubs in and around the area, said he had bought the pub after liking the look of it and finding that the place had a lot of potential.
He said: "I liked it when I first saw it and the fact that it was the only tilted pub remaining in the area was a major selling point.
