| Recently acquired by The Exhibition Hotel Group, I met my mate (who's a regular in here) and commented over a pint, "This place will be pretty nice when it's done up". He looked at me for a hint of sarcasm and said, "It just has been". The Fox, you see, has protected decoration, or something like that, which means new owners can't transform it into the latest Oirish/Australian/Outer Mongolian theme bar horror story, as they so often do. This is a Good Thing (I think) even in cases where you might think a lick of paint and touch of varnish would freshen things up. There's no doubt this pub is pretty much a local's local, despite the relentless stream of tourist vehicles passing it on the busy A59 outside, and it seems the ideal place to frequent for a game of doms and a chat about nothing after a hard day's work. So I'll have to visit it the next time I have such a day, which means there's a great risk that this could be far in the future. | |||
