I was in one the other day (the Tower Bank Arms in Sawrey , Lake
District) which was very agreeable. I didn't realise the NT owned any
pubs so it got me thinking "how many pubs does the National Trust own
and what are they like?"
Google revealed umpteen but I haven't actually been able to find a
list.
Anyone help?
TIA

I don't have a definitive list, and neither it would appear does the NT
itself, but according to the NT there are 36 in all:

Here are a few more to add to the list:
The Fleece, Brereton, Worcs (which tragically burnt down a couple of
years ago and was restored).
George Inn, Borough High Street, London.
Various pubs in Lacock, Wiltshire (NT owned village).

The Fleece is at Bretforton, near Evesham , not Brereton near Cannock.
A very fine pub it certainly was, and hopefully still is though I
haven't been there since the fire.

I have a feeling the Strickland Arms, near Sizergh Castle, near Kendal
is now in the hands of the NT.
Sizergh Castle is the ancestral pile of the Hornyold Strickland family
- I kid you not. I understand that they have now dropped the Hornyold
part of their name.

Well done! I never thought of actually asking them. ;-)
Maybe you could resend with the tenanted ones marked * or something.
They're rather pushing it calling this one a pub. It's a restaurant.

Do you know which Xian cult the Chiltern owners belong to?
It seems strange to find religious fundies brewing beer, unless it's an
old-established sect with roots in the days when beer was a temperance
drink.
I have and you would not know it had burnt down. However it took me a
short while to realise that the thatched roof (the cause of the fire in
combination with a chimney I believe) has been replaced with tiles. If
you did not know you would never guess!
