The Fox & Crown, Newark

The Fox & Crown is a standard looking town pub that is set in a terrace. Once inside the main room to the left is a decent size which has a part tiled and bare boarded floor,the seating is bench type and small stools,there are two smaller rooms to the right and another are to the rear which has normal tables and chairs. This is a Castle Rock tied house,so there was a good choice of real ales on the bar,we had a drink of Harvest Pale which went down very well,the other beers noted were Elsie Mo,Screeching Owl,Preservation all from Castle Rock,there were some guest beers but i could not note all because of people stood at the bar,i did note Abbeydale Hop Smash and one from Oakham. We thought this was a very pleasant pub to have a drink in. Pub visited 6/8/2016

This is a Castle Rock pub so I wasn't in the least surprised to find it to be an excellent old school traditional pub. it's not very large but as you enter the bar is on the left serving three sides and it extends back to various small seating areas on the right and left. I didn't get to note all the beers on as there was a large group of people hogging the bar area. I did manage to note Everard's Tiger and at least five Castle Rock beers on the ten hand pumps. Traditional ciders were also available. I'm not a massive fan of Castle Rock Beers but found their Black Gold Mild really enjoyable. It was also reasonably priced at £2.80 knocked down to £2.60 with the CAMRA discount. I would happily return here.

A very good Castle Rock pub selling a range of the brewery beers. Very comfortable and the staff are very friendly.
