This pub on the corner of Stoneleigh Road and Park Road is notable for its unusual name. According to a notice in the pub (which should be taken with a pinch of salt) some members of the Wyandotte tribe, having been driven out of their native land in Ohio, moved to England and settled in Kenilworth in the 19th century. The landlord of the pub was so impressed by this that he decided to rename it in their honour, in return for which each landlord becomes an honorary chief. However, John Brightley tells a more plausible story here: Image Whatever the truth, this is a pleasant place in the back streets of the town and well worth seeking out.
