This is an actual pub in Britain. Would you drink there? Would you eat there?

And I wonder why it's famous.

Must be named after Halx's. Assuming that internet fame counts as fame.

I've eaten at the World Famous Pink Taco several times...seems roughly equivalent. So yes, I'd drink or eat there.

Sure, I'd eat there.

Knowing Europe, it's one of two things.

1. A total gimmick.

2. Goddamn ancient, predating slang usage of the word 'cock', and the waitstaff can tell you which was Oliver Cromwell's favorite table and other such intriguing facts.

Or, possibly, it's both. An ancient gimmick predating the time when porters were taxed for having a sense of humour.
