Dun is an old word meaning brown, derived from "dung"... so it's literally dun (or dung)-coloured cow.
I guess a pub called "The Poo-Coloured Cow" wouldn't attract so many customers...
I've also seen pubs called "The Dun Bull" and "The Dun Horse"

Maybe its to show that the owners have become vegetarians? As in "Dunroamin" to signify settling down?!
