Pubzles 2022

Some of the mathematicians at the University of Bristol go to the pub on a Friday and over the summer the pub is normally revealed with a pubzle (a puzzle with a pub as the answer) with a prize for the first person to solve the pubzle. I made three pubzles over the summer of 2022, can you solve them?

List of pubs

For any solvers not from Bristol, here is a list of pubs which is sufficient for solving the pubzles below.

There is always time for one more pint!
