Strongers . left this review about The Fox & Crown

The A-board outside the Fox & Crown says something along the lines of “If you’re looking for a pint of Doom Bar carrying on walking to the market”. On the edge of the U-shaped bar counter that comes out of the left-hand wall is a chalkboard that lists some craft keg that come in halves and ranges from £5 for a 10% beer to £11 for an 11% offering from Nerdbrewing. A bit strong for an all dayer so I was thankful to see two banks of five hand pumps that were drawing four offerings from Castle Rock Brewery alongside Ossett’s Voodoo, TRR’s Sonoma, Pentrich Brewing’s Invisible World and Bang the Elephant Brewing’s Custard Coloured Super Dream, which is a Blueberry and Lemon Trifle Pale Ale, FFS. Mexican Street food is available from the kitchen that has been taken over by Holy Moly, the smell was great and the burrito for £8.50 was tempting, but I overheard that there was a wait for food so I decided against it. The pub wasn’t busy, so I imagine the chef was just waiting for the oil to heat up. I thought it was OK in here, maybe a little pretentious, but worth a visit.
