This excellent village pub has a straightforward and unrpetentious character. Good-value weekday lunches are popular. Extensively refurbished in early 2011 the pub retains a rural ambiance with quarry tile and exposed timber floors, ceiling beams and joists throughout. In the centre is a traditional public bar with a small snug on the right, and lounge bars on the left, popular for dining. In summer, picnic tables on the frontage have a sunny aspect. At the back is a paved patio with timber garden tables and chairs and on the extensive lawn next to the car park are picnic tables alongside the renowned village duck pond. Don't be surprised to encounter ducks in the pub car park! Unfortunately no buses to Hallaton these days.
Historic Interest
Ex All Saints Brewery (Leicester), it came into the ownership of Ind Coope of Burton in 1932. Former licensees of the Fox, Hallaton included: Rose Sewell (1822-1835); William Beaumont Pretty (1846); Charles Eaton (1855); Frank Hollis (took over from John Zanker 1913). A description of the pub in 1913 included: "The Fox had a tap room, a bar, a smoke room, an old brewhouse and an old skittle alley. There was also a club room, where the Hallaton Friendly Society held their meetings, plus a kitchen, scullery and four upstairs bedrooms. The tap room was a simple affair with two painted seats and a table lit by lamps. The bar, with its three-pull beer engine, had seven Windsor chairs, an armchair and a couch. There was a hearth rug on the floor, a lamp on the chimney breast, a hanging lamp and shade, and another standing lamp. There were also three iron spittoons. The cellar contained barrels of XXX ale, a mild ale. For pale ale drinkers there were All Saints light ale and their India Pale Ale. There were bottles of Guinness, Bass ale and Bass stout."
