About Fox & HoundsSituated in the conservation area of Barnston on the Wirral Peninsula, The Fox and Hounds has all the charm and characteristics of a traditional village inn. Its cosy and welcoming atmosphere has maintained its popularity since its doors opened over ten decades ago. The pub’s bars are ideal for relaxing and enjoying a quiet drink or a leisurely meal.The present pub was built about 1911 on the site of an Ale House & Barn. A lot of the original character was retained when the downstairs living accommodation was converted into drinking space in 1984. The Lounge Bar is ideal for a quiet drink and makes an ideal dining area at lunchtimes or evenings. The Old Bar or “Snug” with its open fire in the winter months is the original bar & displays various collections of bric-a-brac. The Snug has also kept its original characteristics with its original wood block floor, oak fire surround and fixtures and fittings giving a warm and welcoming feel to the room. The general decor of this pub is true to its origins, featuring an assortment of memorabilia collected over its years. Take a look around next time you are in and enjoy the traditional features that you don’t see very often anymore.

Review of Fox & Hounds - Wirral - Merseyside written 7 Jul 2012
Huge range of well kept real ales and cask beers. Excellent 'home cooked' pub food with quick and friendly service. The food was very tasty with a wide choice and served within 5 minutes of ordering by the excellent and attentive staff. The Fox & Hounds is only small but has an intimate atmosphere and is nicely decorated with local pictures, plenty of brass and other interesting memorabilia. It seems that, in winter, they have a nice fire lit in both bar and lounge. Did I mention that the beer was great?

Review of Fox & Hounds - Wirral - Merseyside written 20 Feb 2012
The Fox and Hounds is a longstanding public house that has adapted to modern times without losing the appeal of the traditional British pub. Lots of polished brass and quirky bits & pieces to amuse visitors.
There was quite an extensive range of beers. Everybody was very welcoming and the food service was efficient and friendly. I went for the pheasant in shallot sauce from the specials board. No complaints! This was excellent pub fare at a very resonable price!
