If you want the very best in food and drink in Staffordshire, then it's worth making a
diversion off the A52 at Froghall, or the B5053 at Ipstones,
to discover the Fox and Goose, surely an inn that can be considered one
of the gems of Staffordshire. It dates from the 18th century, and its charming
exterior blends in perfectly with the surrounding scenery. In fact, the views
from the Fox and Goose across open countryside are truly stunning, and worth the
visit alone.
It's interior is everything an English inn should be - inviting, warm, friendly and
full of olde worlde atmosphere. There is a well stocked bar, plenty of old polished
wood, charming prints and knick knacks on walls
and shelves, and carpeted floors in many areas. Mine hosts are Louisa and Steven, who
have been in charge since March 2006, but who bring a wealth of experience in the
licensed trade to the place. They offer great
hospitality and good cheer to all who enter the
premises, whether local or a visitor.
You can eat in the conservatory-style, no smoking restaurant, which seats 42, and
enjoys all the wonderful bucolic views that the
place offers. The food is wonderful, as the Fox
and Goose employs a professional chef, who makes sure that only the finest and freshest
of local produce in season goes into the dishes. Dishes on the menu include juicy steaks
with all the trimmings, Jamaica jerk chicken casserole, salmon steak with prawns
and grilled gammon steaks. There is also a
`bangers `n' mash' menu, featuring such dishes as Cumberland sausage, venison sausage and
pork and Bramley apple sausage, with a selection
of mashed potatoes and gravy. You can choose from a printed menu or a daily specials
board. The bar sells four or five real ales, all immaculately kept by Steven - the
regulars being Abbot and Bass, with rotating guest
ales. Plus the selection of beers, lager, cider,
wines, spirits and soft drinks is outstanding.
The inn is open every evening through the week, and all day on Saturday, Sunday
and bank holidays. Food is served every evening between 6pm and 10pm, and from 12 noon
to 10pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Children are most welcome, and all credit cards
are accepted. There is an off-road car park, a
patio with heating to the rear and seating at the front.
So seek out the Fox and Goose in Foxt for the very best in hospitality, food and drink!
