... that The Widow's Son pub (pictured) is named for the legend of a widow who every Good Friday baked a hot cross bun for her only son, in the hope that he was not lost at sea and would one day return home?

The story of the widow and her son may be apocryphal and this needs to be reflected in the hook. The fact will also need an inline citation. In other ways the article is fine. It is new enough and long enough, the image is appropriately licensed, and I ran a duplicate detector test without finding any problems. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:30, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. I've added extra citations after each of the sentences in the article that form the basis of the hook. I've also added "the story of" to the hook. Hope that that's enough! Edwardx (talk) 13:04, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

All DYK criteria now met. I changed your word "story" for "legend", the word used in the article and which I think reads better. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:38, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks again. Legend does indeed sound better! Edwardx (talk) 17:40, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

"...one day return home"? Philafrenzy (talk) 17:48, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

If you like. Seems self-evident to me, but perhaps I'm too close to the subject. I've added "home" as you suggest. Edwardx (talk) 18:22, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
