An embarrassing Google error has resulted in a Yeovil pub being given a lewd name on the search engine.

The Bell Inn on Preston Road, which is run by Greene King and also operates under the Hungry Horse banner, is well known for catering for family meals and showing live sport.

But if you type the name of the pub into Google Maps, you are instead presented with directions to The Bell End Inn.

While the addition of one word into a business' name would normally not cause much of a reaction, its rather unfortunate online moniker has been the source of much amusement since it was discovered.

It is unclear how the error has occurred, with the general public being unable to make edits to place names on Google Maps without any suggestions first being approved by the search engine.

Somerset Live understands that the rogue listing has been reported to Google.

It is not the first time that Google Maps has christened the pub with an X-rated title.

In January 2017, it appeared simply as The Bell End, before being changed to its correct name shortly afterwards.

Somerset Live has approached Google for comment.
