Went past a pub in the Shipley area yesterday with above name. Didn't mean anything to a namby pamby southerner like me. :confused:
Have done some searching this morning for a definition, without success.

Any offers? Drapes, I see there are several in your area

A shive is a wooden bung used for stopping up casks.

Don't know about tut though. I think it may be an emblem or something similar, but can't fathom the brewing/beer connection.

Isn't a 'tut' one of them gold globes with a cross on top?

So it could mean "Gold balls 'n' cork".

There's a pub called that in Kenilworth. Had a notice up explaining the meaning. If yer really wanna find out, then go there and have a butchers. Or use Google. Or call it "Sh1t 'n' Shave" like the locals.

Used to be a curry house there in Kenilworth called Balti Towers. Service wasn't too different from its namesake either. Only curry house I've ever been to with a pool table. Crap curry, but I won most of the games.

Strange place, Kenilworth.

Not as strange as Spalding, of course.

But more strange than Port Talbot, and that's saying something.

I hope this helps.

Wot's a hassock then? A fish with a lisp?

Ric

Well thanks M.Mouse but how do get from there to a pub name? Is Aerbabe on the right lines?

Ric thanks, but Google not coming up with definition yet!

Strange place, Kenilworth. Yeah. I lived there for a while. Whenever it rained the locals would gather by the ford to watch 4x4 drivers chicken out and sports cars plough on through.
I don't remember seeing a Tut 'n' Shive there though.
Very strange place.

I've an idea a hassock is one of those little cushiony things you kneel on (like in church).

Could be wrong though ...

The shive is the large bung in the side of a cask, the tut is a smaller recessed area in the centre of the shive.

When venting the cask (which is on it’s side with the shive at the top) you hammer a spile (a porous wooden peg) through the 'tut' allowing the excess pressure in the cask to be released. You can then hammer the tap through the keystone so you can draw off the occasional pint for testing!

There are also a few ‘Tap n Spile’s around the place, the one in York was normally worth a visit.

I think the hassock is optional ::D

Respect Dr Mac Hum!

Used to have a Tut n' Shive in my home town. Used to go there as it was the hip place to be 10 years ago and I took my first ever bona fide date there and we played pool and oooooh the memories are flooding back to me now. . . . :}

VFE.

The Tut and Shive on Duckworth Lane in Bradford is great if you like sexy young Irish nurses who are giddy on Archers Aquas. Apparently.
