Fox & Grapes

Excellent pub about 15 minutes walk from Nottingham Railway Station. Six cask ales - and five ciders - on handpump when I last visited including a stout. Busy but not too busy before the Spurs game at the City Ground. For many years, the pub was named Peggers and was run by Banks’s. Reopened by Castle Rock Brewery in 2017.

Weird time to go to a pub at the end of a pandemic. And even weirder it was going to the Fox & Grapes (you have to love pub names), and even weirder that I had never been. Thoroughly enjoyed it. It was completely my bag, packed with not the trendy and loaded types, more sort of a bit on the bohemian side types. Lovely local beers, and reasonably priced wines, which were actually all right.

Great place, definitely a pub rather than a bar, however it's light and airy not dark and 'traditional'. Plenty of seating, with almost as much outside as inside, perfect for summer. Excellent range of beers, cask, keg, and a fridge full of cans and bottles including some specialist beers for the dedicated...e.g. Buxton Yellow Belly. Food looked great, the Flatbread and humus was awesome, bonus points for Sauce Shop sauces. It's located around the corner from Neon Raptor tap room so be sure to visit here if you're planning a visit to Neon Raptor.
