Fully refurbished after a lengthy closure, this remote 17th century pub has been tastefully modernised but retains a traditional layout. Inside, two log fires offer a cosy atmosphere in the colder months. Meanwhile outside, a large garden in pleasant rural surroundings, equipped with its own exterior bar, make for a delightful summer drinking environment. Up to three cask ales are available and the pub serves well-presented food every day until early evening. There is a large car park to the rear. A quiz is held on Sundays.

Historic Interest

A true campaigning success story, the Old Fox was closed for more than eight years and subject to several unsuccessful planning applications to change its use, before finally re-opening its doors on 1st July 2025.
