The Snooty Fox, Crawley

The Snooty Fox is a large pub opposite Three Bridges railway station that was very busy during my visit early on Friday evening a couple of weeks ago. The large crowd was partly due to a work party having a Christmas buffet and the fact that there was six inches of snow outside and the trains were running on a limited service with many cancellations. The queue at the bar would have been unacceptable under most circumstances, but the governor was under a lot of pressure as only one of his staff had been able to make it into work – or so I would like to believe. The food is cheap pub grub and is served from midday until 21:00 everyday and the Pride was off, but Harveys Best was available alongside the standard draught products. The Guinness was well served and slipped down nicely as I watched the cars struggle by on the roads lacking grit outside. There is a dartboard on the right hand side of the pub and a pool table on the left and plasma screens can be found throughout for showing Sky Sports including 3D when it is shown. There are three picnic tables outside the front of the pub and some more towards the rear where there is a car park and a fenced in seating area that was closed during my visit due to the weather conditions. I found some of the other customers to be a little objectionable, but I thought this place was perfectly acceptable for a station pub.
