Ye Olde is a stock prefix, used often in the case of theme pubs, to indicate things of mediaeval extraction, things which are English, or, as in popular caricature (especially in the United States) the two are synonymous, both. The construction Ye Olde English Pubbe is the usual example, a standard bar name akin to The Red Lion.
