Fox Inn, Moreton-In-Marsh

Will Larter left this review about Fox Inn

A very pretty Donnington pub. I found this a very frustrating group of pubs to tick off - on my tour of this area I drank in eight of them - as they are so variable. Not so much in appearance, as they are almost all made of local stone with varying degrees of well-preserved interiors. The variation is in the quality of the beer, which is a bit concerning, as one of the advantages of selling your own beer in pubs that you also own, served by people you can train and supervise, should be consistent excellence. This is not what happens in my experience. My half of Donnington BB here was too cold and too gassy - how does that happen? It's a cask conditioned beer: serve it at the right temperature but not until it has finished conditioning. Variation in price is almost as alarming, with this beer on sale here at £5/pint and in my previous pub - same beer, same ownership - just £3.50. After visiting more than half of their pubs, it is difficult not to conclude that Donningtons don't know what they are doing. This pub may look very good on chocolate boxes and TV series, but I found it uncomfortable and frustrating.
