| My husband wanted to visit this pub as it has its own brewery. The beer was good. We had the two pump local beers on offer. The stout was good but not exceptional and the light beer not sure of the name was very good. We also noted that they sold Green Jack beer brewed in Lowestoft, Suffolk but the lady serving us didn't seem that friendly towards us. I agree with the writer before me. We didn't have any food and the pub was nearly empty except for a local and before we left two local ladies came in who were served with their 'usual'. We visited Sunday at about 1pm. My rating is for the beer only. tiger0cub - 5 Apr 2016 12:49 |
| Our pub tour kept getting and better and then we reached the pinnace - the Prince of Wales. This is an excellent real ale pub located right across the road from Foxfield station. You can even wait for the signal to go up and still have 3-4 minutes to finish your pint and board your train. The ale range was Kinver Nightjar, Barngates Pale, Town House Wayiti, Foxfield Fleur de Lys & Dougie's Dark Mild & Bowness Bay Swan Black. Ciders were Westcroft Medium & Madhatters Farting Dog. Perries were Westons Country Perry & Ross-on-Wye Broome Farm Hendre Huffcap. There is also a fine selection of whiskeys and meads, in addition to many bottled ciders. The Foxfield beers are brewed here and the landlord/lady also own Tigertops in Wakefield. The pasty range was certainly extensive. What I also liked was that the pub had its fair selection of local character. A big pile of board games is for customers' use whilst they wait for their pasties. The only two down marks for us were the staff. They seemed to be getting on fine with the locals, but were not so friendly to visitors. Apparently the owners were away doing their own tour of Norwich. In addition, the beer quality was not the best. It may have been our selection. So I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. From my perspective, the cider and perry I had were both good. blue_scrumpy - 29 Jun 2015 21:29 |
| A classic pub, well worth visiting. Can get busy during the various organised 'events' which take place throughout the year. A tip : If you want to order one of their superb pasties do it fairly soon after entering the pub. The pasties are all made to order and can take a while to produce. The train journeys along the Cumbrian Coast, from either Carlisle or Lancaster are worth doing in their own right. Foxfield is a request stop, so don't forget to tell the guard you want to get off. arihall - 14 Apr 2012 18:41 |
| Dropped in on a wet and windy cumbrian day. There was a fine selection of local and specialist ales on, i had a nettle ale from foxfield, physics from brew dog, and foxfields mild. Had a superb list of whiskies and a few ciders. The bar billiands is a sussex version and not the one i'm used to which caused some laughs. The interior is 'different' but you have the feeling that's just the way it's been for years. elalaer9 - 14 Jul 2010 15:26 |
| Truly traditional boozer in the middle of nowhere, with so many CAMRA awards they find it difficult to fit them all on the wall. It's one main room full of railway and beer-ana, being opposite the station. Fine old maps of Lancashire also abound. Bar billiards and traditional games, and 11 handpumps dispensing their own beers plus guests- unfortunately I can't remember them all. A fine selection of Continental beers but absolutely no commerical lagers or keg-wonder of wonders. Good, home-cooked pub grub and an exceedingly friendly welcome, this really is an outstanding pub and you should get here by hook or by crook- or by train as people do from miles around. One of the few pubs that can really be labelled 'must-visit'. Carlurmston - 4 Jul 2010 17:45 |
