    Good point, to make it grammatically correct the apostrophe should be removed despite what What Pub has. I'm sure all the locals just call it the Gamekeepers.

    Not sure it would be grammatically correct, but anyway it wouldn't reflect the name of the pub as depicted on the sign board above the door. I'm all for leaving it as it is, with the apostrophe in place.
