The story behind this strange name? Apparently there is a rock formation nearby that resembles a bunch of carrots. The landlord boasts proudly that this is the only pub in Britain with the word 'carrots' in the name. Quite the claim to fame.

There's a ghostly tale attached to this. Supposedly, the pub is named after a woman called Juthware who was decapitated in the nearby church by her brother.
