History

Like many good pubs The Foxhunter started as an ordinary house (right) and was converted -only far more recently than most olde worlde ones. From an account given by ClosedPubs (link below) the publicans were keen to keep it a popular venue..


  1. “The Fox as it was fondly known was an Ansells Brewery, Aston Cross, Birmingham owned pub

  2. My parents, Stan & Connie Jones, kept The Fox on a tenant basis in the mid to late 1970's. It consisted of a bar which was situated on side of the pub that faced the main road a small comfortable lounge. I have also found out that the Fox was extended later after Mom & Dad left, and sadly it's now burnt out and I understand demolished.

  3. The Fox was a lovely, lively part of the local community in Snitt. Theme nights were held some weekends including a Tramps night, when Mom & Dad put on faggots and mash on the menu. Another time they had a clowns and fairies night, the ladies dressed up as clowns and the men dressed up as the fairies, I remember one regular customer used to wear toe - tector boots for work, he sprayed them silver put on a long wig and borrowed a nylon nightie of his wife's and walked down to the pub dressed like that. Another night was cowboys and indians. Everyone used to join in on these nights and have a really good time. It was also popular with caravanners from nearby sites.

  4. The pub was used in an episode of the old soap Crossroads. Chris Tarrant used to use the pub frequently usually using the little lounge.
