This pub is the first one you come to after leaving the
motorway junction and heading into Lutterworth. It looks quite large from the
outside, but once inside you get a traditional cosy feel. A refurbishment means
that there is now laminate flooring throughout. You enter from the middle side
and immediately face a large pillar that splits the bar (stools are available
here). On the pillar you will find blackboards informing you of food or music or
both. The seating area to the left is more public bar than anything with a bench
seat and small round tables. The toilets can also be found here. Most of the hand pumps are on the
bar area here too. Four ales on at the time (see box), all were served well,
with or
without sparkler. At least two of the beers on at
the visit were guests. The seating area to the right of the pillar is more
comfortable with square
 wood tables of varying sizes and chairs (occasional
bench). In one corner there is a small screened off area with a table for two.
It would be snug and secretive if it wasn't by the window facing the main drag
into Lutterworth. Food is served till 9pm, even on Saturdays, though call first
to check. Options tend to be traditional and on this occasion there was nothing
for vegetarians, though they made a plate of salad and chips on request. Prices
are average for the area. For the summer there is a large garden (for winter
real fires) and they also have a function room for hire. No accommodation here.
| Additional Notes: |
The Fox, Luttleworth has
recently been taken over by a new landlady who us very keen to build up the
trade and improve the pub - it certainly needs it and she is working very
hard to do this. (2003) |

There are no fruit machines here anymore and the ladies toilets are small,
but clean and well presented - and also warm as they have a radiator with
towels! It has laminate flooring throughout now with 2 open fires and an
extremely pleasant garden which has just been completed with bench/tables
and umbrellas. I would definitely recommend this place. It is also Biker
Friendly as we have a bike meet there every other Thursday but Dexter the
owner welcomes bikers at any time. (April 2004) |
