The Fox and Goose Inn in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, is a privately
owned, traditional real ale pub where the order of the day is the
appreciation of quality cask conditioned ales and conversation in
comfortable surroundings, free from the clatter of fruit machines and
juke box.
The Fox
specialises in serving a rotating selection of fine cask conditioned
beers from small to medium sized independent brewers, with an emphasis
on quality and choice. The exclusive house beer, Margerys Tiddlywink
(named after the 14th century owner of the original ale house- see
history section) is a 3.9% session beer brewed for us by Millstone
Brewery, and is complemented by 4 guest ales- "Guest Best-un" (4.1% to
4.7% best bitter), "Guest Strong-un" (a stronger ale of 4.8% and above)
"Guest Dark-un" (from a low gravity mild to a strong stout or porter
and anything in between), and Guest Sesh-un (a session ale of up to
4%).
We also offer a guest scrumpy type cider or perry and a variety of English ciders in bottles, plus
a wide range of bottled beers and lagers from the continent and across
the world, a range of fine wines, and a wide selection of malt
whiskeys and specialist spirits.
We have been priveliged to have been awarded the local CAMRA branch
(Halifax and Calderdale) Pub of the Year for 2004 and 2006, and in 2006
were awarded the accolade of CAMRA Yorkshire Pub of the Year
(Runner Up) for 2006.
We run twice yearly beer festivals, hold weekly (Monday night)
quizzes and host regular music sessions, with a regular session on
Wednesday evenings. We also welcome musicians to drop in and play at
any time. With our dear friends Rachel and Jayne (the Pub Wombles) we
have recently completed comprehensive research into the history of the
Fox, culminating in the publication of a book, A Pathway Through
History. Details of all these can be found in other sections of this
site.
The Fox prides
itself in being particulary dog friendly, with our furry friends being
greeted by our own two pub dogs, Spike and Hesta. Children must be on a lead, and should be in bed by 8.30pm!
We look forward to welcoming you soon.
