One of my favourite pubs, good service, good atmosphere, good beer. The fox brews its own beer (beespoke brewery) in the cellar and sells on site.
Called in for a flier - it’s only 3 minutes to platform 2 from the rear beer yarden. Also got some 🚂 beers - very limited choice of cans with no takeaway discounts to be had. Plenty of 🇧🇪 bottles but without a glass I wouldn’t recommend drinking them.
Fantastic choice of beers and great service plus love the funky atmosphere.
No food on my recent visit. But there was live music and lots of nice beer from little breweries far and wide. So, I'm happy 😋
