Will Larter left this review about Fox Inn
A Grade II listed building, claiming 15th century origins. More recently it's been taken on by the revived Joules brewery, who have gained a reputation for fake old pub interiors, but in this case they have managed to refurbish an old building while leaving it looking genuinely old. Even the five hand pumps have clearly not received any attention since the turn of the decade, or perhaps the century. Just Joules Pale and Slumbering Monk on; the Pale was ok (NBSS 3, £3.80/pint). My experience here was not enhanced by some rather too loud "popular music" on the radio from the 1980s - the music, that is: there's no reason to think that the equipment was that old.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Fox Inn
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.
