Perhaps, since speaking to an employee of the publican of said establishment
was not fruitful. However, other avenues remain open and are already

Having just spoken again to the publican and learning that it was a coat of
arms, I'm going to go with "Dieu" and "Droit" as the two words. Since the
pub is named the "Kings Arms" and these are part of the royal motto "Dieu et
mon droit" it would make sense (though 4 words would be better).

No. Maybe if you'd wired him $30 he would've put a bit more effort into

:-) That would be tricky! Let me try and be a bit more straightforward. The
two-word sign advertised something the pub sold. Like with Q31, the phrase
in question is rather twee/pompous/affected/pretentious. I'm sure there were
already plenty of people in the early 1980s (when the photo was taken) who
wouldn't have had a clue what it meant (or how to say it).

We've arrived in the right ballpark, though the answer isn't French. Since
the phrase is modifier+noun I've had a Google to see what other modifiers
people apply to this noun, and there's quite an array: straight-forward,
hearty, emergency, decent, vital, above par, pretty good, basic, simple,
fine, happy-hour, Gaelic, vegetarian, Caribbean, agreeable, English, finest,
strong, Loop, Mexican, soul-satisfying, valuable, traditional Irish, lavish,

Tasty victuals.

Let us not forget that the phrase on the sign does _not_ occur on Google
(That _was_ a clue, right?).
"Victuals" certainly fits the other clues (not French, archaic or twee,
people would have trouble pronouncing it).
I do record here for posterity that as of the present, "luxurious victuals"
has but a single Google hit (not a googlewhack, though, because of the
quotation marks), and "luxury victuals" has but two.

I note that our cluer did not write "adjective+noun".
So it may be something along the lines of a noun used adjectivally or a
possessive, e.g.,
"Alehouse victuals".
"Publican's victuals"
or (tweeing-up that ubiquitous but recently invented dairy dinner)
"Ploughman's victuals"

Hm, "pickled victuals" seem googlewise rather thin on the ground, too (found
only in one reasonably obscure Church Father. Who knew?).

Hang in there. I've got the big guns out now:
From an email I got this morning:
" Thank you for your enquiry re. Kings Arms. I have passed it on to staff
at the Sandwich Guildhall Museum, who are looking into it. If they find out
any useful information we willl pass it on to you., Yours Pam @ Sandwich

I also spoke with the town historian who is going to search the archives
which have lots of old photos.
This is so much fun. LOL

I'm still amazed that you managed to locate the actual pub from
the paucity of info in the image. I know it tells you it is on Church
Street / St Mary's, but on checking the googleproofness
of this Q when it was first suggested, I didn't find anything
that allowed me to pin down its location midst all the 1000's
of "does not apply" hits. It's only once you've pinned it down
to Sandwich that you get to see an image that allows you
to compare it with the one in the question. and then pin it down
due to its distinctive architectural features.

As I recall that was the one that did the trick. From there it was a matter
of looking at the windows and other architectural features.
It probably was non-Googlable but open-sandwich completely reworked their
website recently and this probably broke your non-Googalibility.
I was frustrated by that rework because lots of potentially useful links to
old pub images just go to the 404 page of the new site.

Societal Victuals
Jitze Couperus
Whew - I snuck an anagram in there which I thought looked rather
obvious, but as of closing time it appears that nobody spotted it...
So consider the above clue repeated, but with the word
"scrambled" or "re-arranged" somewhere in the first sentence.
That's what the boys at the Times or the Telegraph would have
done I think. But it's been a while

Matrimonal Victuals

Sheepmeister! Even though it is past the witching hour in Greenwich,
and only when I opened the kimono to a positively indecent extent,
did we get us three horses neck and neck...
According to what I see here - Rich Ragan at 2.55, Paul Wollf at
2.56 and William at 3.01
So whether this qualifies for sheep or not I will leave to the
Solomonic judgement of l'orkeur des moutons.
But at least folks can see the long-sought-for answer now.

Local time in Greenwich wasn't the relevant criterion -- the specified
deadline was 24:00 Greenwich *Mean* Time, or about 13 minutes ago as
I post, and 27 minutes *after* Jitze's posting.
