The Fox

Great pub with excellent Sunday Carvery and the TV’s get turned off at 6pm and a cracking live acoustic Irish traditional music session gets going. So if you want good beer and great craic come down on Sunday evening.

There’s one thing to know when you go into The Fox.
It’s not that they don’t do any ‘proper’ beer, preferring to give you fizzy lager and Guinness.
Nor is it that the televisions are everywhere with Sky Sports — at least three in your eyeline wherever you look — and that the sound’s on and loud.
And nor is it that the Sunday carvery looks very good, but that the clientele eating it look as though the piled-​high plates are but a small appetiser in their high-​calorie diet, which they’ll need after thumping at least twelve people for looking at their bird.
It’s that there’s a very nice Wetherspoon’s almost opposite, which hasn’t got the scary customers, hasn’t got the loud televisions, and does have decent beer. Remember that, and you’ll not go far wrong.

Contrary to the other review I preferred this place when it was a bit more lively. And no pool table now. The horror, the horror. But, it is a big ol’ place with a reasonable atmosphere and the more you drink, the better it becomes

This is a big old pub which used to have a bad reputation, but seems to have sorted itself out lately and now its pretty nice. There’s a car park and small beer garden out the back. Drinks aren’t the cheapest, but they do an excellent Sunday carvery!
