NOTE:As I write this review I am tucking into a hearty meal and sipping my pint. Nothing unusual in that you might think, after all this is a pub. Well, yes it is, but it's only 7:30am. The Fox and Anchor is one of those wonderful pubs that opens early for the market. Ironically, on my visit there wasn't a single market porter amongst the clientele, just a few men in suits holding a breakfast meeting. The breakfast menu included full English, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs as well as a veggie option. Steaks were also available for the overtly carnivorous. Whatever the choice the portions are colossal. The pub itself is an intriguing late Victorian affair. A long bar adorned with ornate wooden carvings stretches majestically towards the back of the pub. Beyond that there is an array of intimate nooks and crannies housing small tables. Ideal for undisturbed conversation. I honestly cannot remember what beers they had on offer. It was too early in the morning for me to observe such details. My gut feeling is that the selection was good, although I will have to go back to survey what they have on offer. As if I really need an excuse.
NOTE:Now in the midst of a major refurb. Where once people stood drinking, cement mixers churn and pneumatic drills whirr. There is no telling what the future holds at the moment
