user reviews of the Old Fox, Horfield

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

The Old Fox used to be a pretty unique place with two separate rooms and a traditional off sales hatch in the entrance. Rumour has it that the local prison officers used to go there just so they could breath beer fumes over the inmates.

However, it's since been opened up and can best be described as resembling a US road house. After serving a spell as a bikers' pub (you should see all the HDs on Bank Hol ride days... just like The Wild One)it's now settled down as a good alternative to the Gloucester Road Beer Palaces.

Beerwise nothing special in terms of range, but a very good pint of Butcombe and a traditionally flat Bristol Bass. Also unique in that it's one of the few places your likely to be served by the landlady instead of some casual bar-person.
