The Fox, Palmers Green, N13

It's been a pub since 1716 - can't say I remember it then but I used to come here almost every weekday between 1968 and 1973 when I worked in Palmers Green and remember it well as Alesonly describes it below. Came here again recently and it hasn't improved - still no real ale! Average.

Went in here after leaving the Wetherspoons because it was Packed out with woman & kids. Its not too bad Pub but like most it has been ruined by modernisation. The bar area is much smaller than it was years ago I remember this Pub in the mid seventy's with the three separate bars & etched glass windows and a much larger bar area with glasses on a shelf above bar. Now its just one big soulless room. Biggest grip is still No Real Ale looks like the Ale Pumps had so much dust on them don't think there been used for over a year since the last review.

This is not a bad pub if you like your sports and lager, which I do. There are lots of plasma screens dotted about and there is also table football. There was a disco on whilst I was there playing songs like Sweet Home Alabama, not that anyone was bopping on the dance floor at the rear of the pub. The bouncers were overseeing the place with SAS proficiency, but they were friendly enough if you weren't up to mischief. I'm pretty sure that there are 2 real ales, but they were both off. There is also a wide selection of standard and premium lagers. There is a paved beer garden out the back with covered and uncovered seating. I liked it in here and would go back.
