In its current incarnation, The Fox is a craft beer house and gastro pub, serving excellent (but not cheap) beer and interesting, non-traditional bistro-style food. So many beers were on sale – craft and cask – I lost count, but I do remember 3 real ales and 3 ciders. Several good Belgian beers complemented the list. Decent looking food but time on a crawl didn't allow us to eat. Despite the modern theme, it had a great traditional pub feel, although the presence of several bicycles in the bar was a bit enigmatic – maybe an attempt to give it a French flavour. Wood floors, no electronics and a warm welcome combined with the presence of a bunch of mature pub crawlers all added value. I had a pint of Marble Brewery Chocolate Marble, which was a good pint, very moorish but became a bit sickly later on. I shall most definitely return here.

Still a gastro pub but more pub than gastro. Lovely bright pub with wooden floors and tables.5 handpumps with a good range of beers and about 10 keg beers. Had an amazing pint of Weird Beard ipa. Upstairs they have an outside beer balcony with seating. Interesting framed poster just inside the door called A Visual Compendium of Notable Haircuts in Popular Music. Well Good.

Now a Grasto-pub. More gastro than pub
