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.

This one wasn't on my agenda for the day but I spotted the Joule's signage and decided to give it a go. Inside it's a single room split into three areas with a bar area at the front, a middle area dominated by a huge fireplace and a rear area up a step. The ceiling is low and there are beams everywhere. I saw no signs of any TV screens.
The bar has five hand pumps which had the three regular Joule's beers and their Shropshire Hop plus Wickwar BOB as a guest. I went for the Pale (£3.00) which was in good nick.
This is an excellent addition to a town not really noted for beer and pubs.
