TGWG's Verdict
The Good Wine Guide“The Fox & Hounds wine list offers a thoughtfully curated balance between iconic European appellations and expressive, artisanal estates. Diners can explore structured Piedmontese Nebbiolos alongside refined, lees-aged Loire whites that elevate traditional British pub dishes. The sparkling selection shines with top-tier English traditional-method cuvées and benchmark Champagne houses.”
Priced close to shop price (est. £75 retail) — just a +53% markup compared to the usual 200%+ restaurant markup.
Top-rated ★ 4.2 on Vivino for just £44.00 a bottle — serious quality without the splurge.
