Fox Inn, Oswestry

Must be one of the oldest pubs in town, with a compact bar (little bigger than a snug) and two slightly larger rooms (one with an entrance of the side alleyway) further back; all under low ceilings. Regular live music advertised. As a Joule's house, I found their Pale (£3.40) and Slumbering Monk on from a bank of five handpumps.

A lovely little Joules run pub. The place is basically 3 areas to sit with a room to the rear which can be used for functions apparently. The bar area is to the front and here you will find 5 handpulls on the bar 4 of these dispensed Joules beers (well 2 Joules beers as Slumbering Monk and Pale were doubled). Sadly the other handpull was bare. There's not as much wood panelling as a lot of Joules pubs and there are low beams and bevelled windows. I liked it despite the rather thin beer choices.
