Fox, Portsmouth

The interior is typical of the bar's sister pubs in Southsea, with bare floorboards, reclaimed fittings and a 'distressed' look. The walls are half-boarded and there is a seating area tucked away on a raised deck beyond the bar counter. The second, left-hand room contains a mixture of furnishings, with heavy, scrubbed tables, leather couches and upholstered settees. A pool table stands at the front of the room. The original fireplace contains a rustic-looking wood burner. Each room has a flat-panel television on which sport is shown and a projector screen is lowered for major events such as the Six Nations rugby union tournament. A stage, complete with a sizeable PA system, is pressed into use when live music is hosted.
