Readers comments - Visited on a Friday night. It was busy, mainly youngsters who seemed to be attracted by the very loud music. The pub is now owned by Joules Brewery of Market Drayton, which was reflected in the two beers that were on. They were Joules Pale and Double Hop. They were well presented, and I’d rate them as 3.5 stars - Nov 2010 |

re-decorated throughout. It no longer has a pool table or Mansfield
Bitter. Weekly guest ales and all the draught beers are well kept -
Jan 2009 Visited on a Friday night. It was still the popular back street local as described and was quite busy. Beer range was Bombardier, Theakston’s Best plus a guest. I rated my Bombardier at 3 stars - Nov 2010 |

Readers comments - Just for info, the bar was newly built but replaced to its
original height (circa 1956) hence the high stools!! Went to the Fox, it was warm and friendly and the beer was fine. Decor makes the place feel like a chain pub, but the nice lady working behind bar made me and my family feel very welcome. Locals were decent sorts. I'll be back! - Jul 2008 Visited on a Friday night. The pub is on the edge of Wem’s “circuit”, thus it is very much a busy local with a good mix of clientele. And it is now one of two free houses in the town. Chatty and knowledgeable landlord who confirmed that his range of 3 beers changed frequently. On the night, the three beers were from the Greene King stable. My Ruddles was a 3.5 star - Nov 10 |

Visited on a Friday night and enjoyed the experience. It was busy, with a
mix of clientele. The pub is now a free house, which is shown by the
range of 3 beers on. The very welcoming landlady informed us that Salopian
Shropshire Gold is currently her house beer, with the other two being
guests from local breweries. I went for my benchmark Stonehouse Station
Bitter which I rated as 3 star - Nov 2010 Visited on a Thursday night, not very busy, three real ales being served, tried the Three Tuns XXX and gave it 4 out of 5 - Sep 2017 |
