Fox Inn in Shropshire

Came to Owestry for the weekend and were looking for somewhere to eat, late Saturday afternoon. Found The Fox Inn on the high street. Good choice on the menu. We went with the roast dinner....it was huge and really tasty. Staff lovely and friendly too. We chose well. :)

Another visit to this lovely pub, lots of undercover outside seating area, 3 of us on this visit, one of my friends has the full roast dinner £10, could have had a half portion for £8 must say the portion sizes are generous, it was a lovely roast all homemade friend tried her best but couldn’t manage it all, myself and my Aunty had off the light bites menu lots of choices for £7.50 these portions were very generous more than you get at Wetherspoons for a full portion, food was much nicer than any Wetherspoons I have visited, my aunty had the Turkey and stuffing toastie served with chips coleslaw and side salad, my auntie couldn’t manage it all, I had beef chilli and rice, and it was very nice and I ate it all, the staff here were very nice friendly and worked very hard, we will definitely return again on our next visit to Oswestry.

A very welcoming and truly dog friendly pub. Roast dinner was fabulous, especially the gravy. Eyes too big for my belly on the Large Portion; had to take the half roasted chicken away in a doggy bag!! Would certainly recommend. The staff and owner were absolutely wonderful. Our first, and hopefully not our last, visit.

Called in on Tuesday this week with friends and decided to have a meal the food was freshly cooked staff were brilliant, my friend ordered ham hock and was astounded by the size, chips were cooked to perfection and chicken curry and cottage pie was too site for we will certainly call again when in Oswestry, thank you to all the staff

Had drinks here a few times so decided to give the food a try. Firstly one pint, one gin and a coffee £12.50!!!. Ordered food, took a while to come and disappointed chips were all burnt and the pie was just thick soup with shop bought pastry stuck on top, was hoping for a full pastry.case not just a lid. Our table was sticky, we had to pull our drinks off it. The ceiling above our table was flaking off.in big sheets can't see how that gets them a 5 star hygiene rating. We gave it a chance but shall stick with wetherspoon in future guaranteed good food and certainly cheaper drinks.

Popped in here today whilst visiting Oswestry. Very friendly really old fabulous pub. We had meals, the £6 Monday madness meal of sausages,egg and the best chips ever!, proper chips, best I've tasted in years. We also had the curry and chips priced at £8, again chips fantastic but curry was tasty but not much chicken or veg, lots of liquid so had to use a spoon to eat it. Would certainly visit here again if we come back to the area. Food very reasonably priced and plenty of choice too. Ramp for disabled down alleyway at side door.

Had a couple of pints and the Faggots !! Absolutely superb Beer was great and the faggots were the best I have had in long time Thank you

We returned here after having such a great time last time. we were served by johnny a well spirited friendly bartender happy to recommend other bars and places to go and walk nearby. today however we were greeted by a young lady who would prefer to be glued to her phone with random interruptions of serving drinks inbetween. put us off for good. we go out to meet people not for this

Chose The Fox because it was dog friendly. Absolutely lovely old building, great outside space. Food was amazing and the staff (especially the chef, sorry I didn't get your name but you were amazing!) were so brilliant. Definitely recommended if you're in Oswestry and want a drink and/or food.

In august we were staying in some camping pods and went for a drive for food… the fox looked inviting,and was dog friendly. We went in were welcomed by bar staff friendly and was great with my dog. We ordered food the chef was fabulous (and funny) wore mad color trousers but it definitely went with her sence of humor. Food was AMAZING! Large portions and homemade chips… my dog sat next to us on chair/seating was brought treats by the bar staff and fussed her. Overall a great experience Thank you to staff and the chef with the crazy chef trouser’s making us feel welcomed and amazing food xx

Stellar service and great menu choices. The mega breakfast lives up to its name and extremely reasonably priced as well. Great quality food and friendly team. Will be back!

So glad that we found this little gem, spent the day in Oswestry, had a lovely day, made even better after finding this pub, the food was fantastic, so nice to find somewhere, that done homemade food, good portion size, the staff where really nice, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, we are a group of 6 ladies ranging from 61 to 82, we will definitely call here on our next visit to Oswestry.

We decided to pop in for some food as we were hungry, and were pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. It was a much bigger portion of rotisserie chicken than expected, and it tasted fantastic. My friend got a breakfast bap, and it was all great value for money too. Definitely recommend for some good tasting food.

Popped in for lunch and very pleasantly surprised. Great traditional pub serving Joules ales. Beer quality good and food excellent. Staff very friendly and efficient. Will definitely return

Great meals very Dog friendly made us all very happy. Will gladly recommend the pub for all Dog owners.

Stopped in here for a drink and to give our toddler lunch. The food service was quick, and the kids' meal was good quality. Staff were friendly. It's a locals pub but not one where everyone stares at you awkwardly if you're from out of town. Great playlist. Good local beers. Sizeable outer courtyard.

Late lunch / early tea, nipped in at 3.10 for something to eat, knowing food finished at 3.30. Lady chef came out with couple of titbits and water for the dog, I thought this a lovely touch. We weren’t expecting much, just chicken and chips so was very much delighted with size of portion, quality of food and cost! We were here for 4 days, ate out everyday and this was the best meal we had! The chef said she was fairly new to the post? Keep her, food was delicious!

Don't know if I loved or hated this place! It is very very old and has bags of character. It looks like it hasn't been decorated since the 70s ( that's the 1870s ).it was almost full at lunchtime and very welcoming. The beer was rather good and the food was incredibly cheap but really basic. It could be great if it was run a bit better, and the barmaid didn't disappear to serve food halfway through my order. We ordered breakfast baps to be quick as we had a bus to catch and were told it was a 30 min wait, 50 mins later, I had to ask for them at the kitchen door. They could make more of the place easily.

Brilliant old pub. Had a small breakfast for £5. Was delicious with butchers sausages, bacon and black pudding. Always friendly and welcoming, dog included. Not enough pubs like this left. Definitely recommend.

What a lovely pub! Charming decor, very friendly staff. Popped in fo a coffee and sat in the court yard, will definitely be back!

Like stepping back into the pubs of yesteryear. Old school no nonsense pub. Nice welcoming barman, towel on the shoulder included, pleasant atmosphere and friendly atmosphere and chat with the regulars who were friendly and gave us a tour guide of the Offas walk⁶, a...

A surprised find. We were greeted by a lovely young lady who told us to find a table, and she would bring us a menu. There was a good choice and they had a specials board. I chose a small chicken dinner and my husband...

We’ve just ordered a takeaway Sunday lunch from “The Fox” today for 4 people. The food was excellent. A huge variety of vegetables, all well cooked and seasoned. My lamb was particularly tender. The gravy was delicious too! I would highly recommend for the best...

Ordered small breakfast. Took a while to arrive but super value. One of everything egg, sausage, bacon, tomato, beans, mushrooms, hash brown, black pudding and toast. Loved the quirky teapot. Cosy little pub and seems well regarded by locals.

We went in to watch the grand national, there were already a few people inside. Its a small place but offers home cooked food (which we didn't have). Drinks were reasonably priced and there were a couple of large tvs to watch the race. Service...

Having had food before now I can't just say how brilliant the place is the staff and everyone who works there brilliant very welcoming pleas go there and you will see why it's so highly rated

This place is awesome….. food is delicious and amazing value. The landlord is super welcoming and service it great…. ….

We were staying in Oswestry while my husband was on business and came across this lovely place. Obviously has it's regulars. But they were really friendly to us and there was a really nice atmosphere. Lovely wood burner on a cold day. Great playlist. Returned...

Having been there last night the karaoke and everything brilliant the staff are so welcoming having never been there before I love it

We called in Just before Christmas and noticed that this Inn is well run with lots of nice customers. We both ordered the Roast and after a short wait they arrived. The most noticeable thing was the very generous portions and the variety of vegetables....

I visited here with a few friends to try out their food as we already love the pub! I had the small english breakfast which was a great size and as we expected it was very tasty. We will definitely be returning and are very...

Cracking service and great food thoroughly enjoyed loads of ale an shorts, canny beat pete on the mic, Foxy Fridays

Called in on the off chance while shopping in oswestry. Didn't realise they did food before but had a fantastic roast dinner with all the trimmings will be calling again.

Absolutely cracking, came with a few friends all had the roast, no better roast for the money, pub is beautiful and service is brilliant. Will 100% be back every Sunday so see you in here!

Excellent home-cooked food in a warm and cosy environment, with a warm welcome. What's not to like? Mick and the team never disappoint.

I highly recommend this pub. The welcoming we got as a family upon entering was as if we were regulars. The log fire made it a cosy atmosphere and the food and service was 10/10. The food was all fresh and home cooked and very...

Had the roast which tasted weird especially the gravy, the Yorkshire pudding was inedible so I picked around it, ended up with food poisoning. I think it was left overs from the wkend before and heated up, complained to the food standard agency about it

One of the oldest pubs in Oswestry serving Joules ale Great outside space Local Musicians met hereon a regular basis showcasing original tunes and covers

Nice old style decor. Basic but clean. Service friendly enough. Beer (Joules) was not up to much though. Plenty of other pubs in the local area.

love the interior, cosy, warm, welcoming but beer terrible. if you could cross this place's inside with the bailey heads beer and staff youd be onto a goldmine

Headed straight to this pub after we made a list of bars to go to, wish we didnt, appalling covid measures, social distancing apparently didnt apply, half the pub was underage and we weren't asked to sign or scan anything. Quite frankly disgusting. We were...

The food was delicious and the gentleman who served us was great, wore a mask the whole time and was very friendly and welcoming. That’s where the good experience ended. We had to wait ages to be served our drinks (by a different person) and...

Visited yesterday afternoon with my family, beer gargen only open, good sign. However, they have an outside gar, serving "hatch" 6 foot by 3 foot, THREE blokes standing at bar customer side, I thought this was illegal. Bar manager/landlord serving, chatting happily to them. NO...

Used to love this pub and they've done the outside area up nice with an outside bar, that's where it ends. Tiny bottle of the cheapest hand sanitizer they could get at entrance, go to bar and unless you see the book to give contact details, you are not asked to fill it in, patrons leaving their tables to talk to other groups, clearly off their heads on something they were going to the toilets every 5 minutes or so to sniff.The worst thing? 2 fresh drinks, I noticed the supposedly clean glass I was served with was covered in lipstick, the barmaid, who had been polite up til then, really took offence when a fresh drink in a glass that was actually clean was requested, and didn't seem to understand a pandemic was happening, got a bit shirty with my husband, pubs need staff that can understand what's happening at the moment in the world, we did get a fresh drink we probably should have just walked away then upon discovering the lack of education the staff displayed, our fault for not walking away, would go back if they showed they had customers interests at heart, which they clearly don't at the moment.

My wife and I were passing thorough Oswestry on our way home to Cheshire and decided to call in for some lunch. We were drawn to the Fox inn because it looked like quite an old pub and did hot meals so we decided to...

We have just had a delicious meal sitting in front of a log fire. Lovely meal, lovely atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful staff

The food was great and it is in a really nice pub. The place is warm and the staff are welcoming. The beer is well kept and I would definitely return.

A welcome, well kept pint in front of a log fire on a cold day deserves a good review. Friendy staff and happy locals.

What a great little pub this is! My wife and I found it as we were wandering around Oswestry looking for some where for lunch. We were attracted by the board advertising fresh roasts (and the price!!). We enjoyed a superb roast lunch each -...

Ordered to large glasses of wine and offered a bottle for £1 more. Great service by landlord and team. Informed about history of the place. Food excellent and amended items for gluten free. Dog friendly. This is great service in a traditional pub with real...

Firstly, if you are in Oswestry, don’t go anywhere else for a pint! We (the Wife and I) popped in for a pint at this pub. Being clumsy and only having one decent working arm, I spilt my pint all over the bar , I...

This old pub is very convenient to the town centre of Oswestry. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful

Great old pub in centre of Oswestry, has huge outside seating area and live bands in open air on the Sunday.

I visited as part of a walk around town and was very impressed by the friendliness and extensive selection of gin on offer!

This is a very cosy, friendly pub with food available and live music at least once a week, often more often.

I last gigged at the Fox back in 2014, it had a different owner then, but was a cracking venue, so when myself and my fellow band of old rockers got booked to play there as part of the 2019 'Stars In The Bar' festival I was looking forward to seeing if was still the great place it was back then.

Visited The Fox today for a quick bite of lunch before heading home. Fantastic pub that just seems to go on and on forever inside. Great food and quick service and would recommend this as a great place to eat.

Went for breakfast, both mine and my brothers very good,he is vegetarian and the sausage and bacon with mine was very good and it has a nice atmosphere, recommended

Excellent atmospheric traditional Inn great live music homemade food great beer and gin bar can't praise The Fox enough outside area is sublime all staff wonderfull

The best breakfast I have ever had, the staff always friendly and welcoming, the food is plentiful, well cooked, piping hot when it’s served, have had breakfast several times here and will certainly call in again when we are visiting relatives

Great beer, good food and several sessions of live music music a week! What more could you ask for....

The Fox Inn is an atmospheric old pub in the traditional style. There are no pretensions or gimmicks here; this is just an ordinary pub where you come for a beer. And on a cold evening the large open fire is an added bonus.

We were visiting Oswestry and looking for a traditional pub with good honest plain food . We came across the Fox and decided to try it. As soon as we walked in we remembered we had visited 18 month previously for a quick snack. Once again we were made to feel very welcome . The menu had plenty of choice and we were very happy with our food when it arrived. A very friendly pub serving very good food.

My dog and I were caught in Oswestry because roadworks had brought the car park at Sainsbury’s to gridlock. We went to The Fox and I asked if they allowed dogs and they said they did. The landlady was friendly. I asked about food and she said they did provide food but I couldn’t open a tab to pay the bill at the end. She wanted payment for my drink there and then. Maybe there are two different businesses- one providing drink, the other food. It wasn’t a problem just slightly inconvenient.

Brilliant atmosphere and service. Free nibbles are always available plus Stews, Curries and Sauage rolls, posrk pies too. One of the best venues for live music on Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday afternoons. A clear leader locally. Well done to Mick, Mandy, Jenna & Vicky

Wonderful welcome from the hosts at the Fox. We were on a day trip to Oswestry and were pleased we popped into the Fox. They also made our dog Thai welcome. Thankyou.

The Fox Inn is owned by Joules brewery. The landlord answers to Mick , he has a great stock of Gins in the bar . There is a sun trap of a beer garden up the back . There is music in the evenings of Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday's for special occasions. All together a great pub to visit in Oswestry.

Just popped in to the fox tonight with two customers from Dubai.

Tried the Oak - inviting and no music but no food - so came here. Apparently they have just started to offer food at lunchtimes. Anyway, I chose the broccoli/veg bake. It was tasty but the all day breakfast that was brought for the lady who was attending the bar looked good. There is not much by way of pubs that offer real ale in this part of Oswestry - apart from the Wynnstay (a bit too busy with senior citizens) - that is not oppressed by raucous music.So this is a bit of a find. Beer was good.

So glad this lovely little pub has started doing food. They have introduced a small lunch menu, containing traditional hearty meals and fresh baked baguettes. We really enjoyed our lunch, which was a very generous portion and great value for money!

Es bastante sencillo: este es un antiguo centro de la ciudad pintoresca pub que es sencillamente genial, divertido y lleno de gente feliz. Vigas, anfitriona encantadora, caballos de latón, cervezas, pequeñas hornacinas, aseos impecables, sesiones de música con músicos geniales. Fue desternillante. Pubs como deberían ser. No comer, beber, demasiado ocupados charlando y pegadizos.

Dropped into this pub on a weekend visit to Oswestry. We heard the live music and decided to drop in. Excellent guitar playing and great live singing by a variety of regulars - friendly, welcoming and good fun x

visited bank holiday very wet day lovely fire beer was very good landlord brill when kitchen up and running if this goes like the other joules pubs it will be a gem landlord was very good on customer service we will be back

The Fox Inn only came back on line before last xmas ,after a much needed refurbishment . It is a Joules brewery pub with guest ales all very well kept by Derek the landlord.

Just been in nice friendly welcome. But the beer needs work. Carling wasn't up to standard. ...it was flat and not nice. ..I asked the staff to change it .tina did and tell me she had not pulled it off. .!!!!!!!!!!

Actualmente en reformas y publicidad importante para nuevo gerente. He conocido este pub durante 50 años (altas y bajas). Me pregunto si puede recuperarse en estos tiempos difíciles pero con una buena gestión y creatividad que podrían elevar desde las cenizas y desean recuperar su antigua gloria. Siempre tenía buena cerveza y buena comida y muy buen ambiente y ubicación. Si el fantasma de la anterior al frente de la casa," el gob de John" sigue persiguiendo el bar es para ser visto. Buena suerte a los nuevos propietarios y personal. Volveré a hacer cola para la reapertura.

the food was adverage. like normal fish food. nice family meal. would go again. very good puddings though. my sis really liked

Solía ser un magnífico aspecto antiguo pub que sirve buenos/bar de comida de calidad aperitivos. Nuestra última visita fue decepcionante, ya que tiene muy poca variedad de Ale y sin comida, aparte de huevos de whisky escocés. No había casi nadie en el pub que dice mucho.

We group of us came across the Fox in when on a stag do, they had some nice beers and the staff were very friendly. We disappeared to get food then found out after visiting a few other bars and clubs that this was the place to be. The land lord was an absolute legend and truly made out night. Big thank you to him and all the staff.If you're in Oswestry , visit here and stay for a few drinks , check out the beer garden too
