Via the Licensed Victuallers Association perhaps or the brewery.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

If they had a phone in 1946, there could be listing on the

British Phone Books, 1880-1984

on Ancestry.

Failing that, the library local to the Pub may have trade directories or ER as suggested by RutlandBelle. Both are search-able by address, and the trade directory sometimes by name.

I just looked for the pub I used to run on that site DF and it only went up to 1916

Which was helpful for me as I had been looking for it for the last eighteen months same people from 1881 until at least 1916 lot longer than I lasted, maybe I should have been a farmer aswell and may have made somesort of living :-D
