This place is supposed to notorious for its chilli.

On a more sinister note we also have an intriguing story about the pub.
Many years ago there was a fire in Mother Macs which started mysteriously. Once the blaze had been put out, the fire brigade began their investigations into why and where the fire had originally started. The pub had a dumb waiter for moving food from one floor to the next. When the dumb waiter was inspected, the cut up bodies of the landords wife and children were found inside. The fire had been started deliberately but things had not gone quite as planned.
