About The Venue

The Fox and Faun is a listed building (Category B) dating to its founding year, 1863. It has retained its original stone façade and evolved from a public house into an art nouveau space with wooden beams, vintage posters, and red seats. The interior uses warm lighting and neon signs for a lively yet intimate feel. Noise levels are high during events due to live music and packed tables. Accessible toilets and step-free entry are available.

Typical Experiences

The Fox and Faun is popular with locals on Friday and Saturday nights for evening drinks or live music. You can try traditional pub fare with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. A key feature is the outdoor seating during events paired with indoor tables that fill quickly at peak times. Go to a whisky tasting event or try the themed menu for an unexpected twist.
