Hello

The Fox, found.

We are an independent country pub in Old Down, South Gloucestershire — down a quiet lane, easy to miss and hard to leave.

Low beams and a fire in winter, a long green garden in summer, proper food and a well-kept bar all year round. No airs, no theme, no chain playbook: just a good local that happens to be worth the drive.

Food & drink

Proper plates, proper pints.

A kitchen that cooks with the seasons and a bar that takes its cellar seriously. Menus change, so we publish them only once they are confirmed.

The garden

Afternoons that run long.

Shade under old trees, a table you needn't hurry from, and a garden that makes a quick drink into a whole afternoon.
