Giant mug takes flight from Ely High Flyer pub in Storm Darragh

It was given temporary planning permission and painted brightly with scenes from the popular children’s book.

A spokeswoman from the council said: “The two-year temporary planning permission for the mug expired on 24 August 2024, and when the planning enforcement team contacted the business they were advised that the mug was due to be removed in early January 2025.”

Although Storm Darragh removed the mug from its position before that time, some said they would be sad to see it go.

Ely resident DeeDee Doke said she heard a rumour at the weekend that the mug had toppled and went to see for herself.

The mug is currently resting on a grassy area near the pub building.

“It blew off the wall – and the handle has come off,” she said.

“We had horrific winds here on Friday and Saturday, and it continued into much of Sunday.”

She is a fan of the mug and said: “I love it. I think it’s rather idiosyncratic – something you don’t expect on the side of a pub – and it’s beautifully painted.”
