The Fox in York

Set in the Holgate district of York lies The Fox, a pub whose history is inextricably linked to the golden age of rail.

In the spring of 2014, after years of neglect, the distinct Ossett style was applied, sympathetically restoring this magnificent gem. The pub boasts Yorkโ€™s largest beer garden and has the distinction of being a blue plaque heritage inn, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking out the cityโ€™s finest watering holes.

Ossett Brewery โœ–๏ธ Turning Point Brew Co.

Collaboration Beer Tasting ๐Ÿป
Thursday 1st February from 8pm

Meet the brewers and taste the new collaboration beer fresh from the pumps at The Fox ๐ŸฆŠ

Here's what to expect โคต๏ธ
What the Dickens ?!
A 6% heritage Victorian porter. Amber, brown and smoked malts combine to create a moderately full-bodied and warming beer with residual sweetness, a creamy mouthfeel and flavours of chocolate, toffee and smoke. Bitterness is low, but the addition of English Goldings hops results in a delicate herbal/earthy aroma.
