Square Meal review of The Fox:
Combining an easygoing atmosphere with likeable modern cooking, this pub is a deft conversion of a run-down boozer by the owners of the White Horse at Brancaster Staithe (see separate review). The Nye family have pretty much repeated their winning formula: fresh fish is delivered from the north Norfolk coast, service is friendly & you can eat & drink in the bar or linger in the more formal dining room. There’s always something good on the menu, be it a robustly flavoured tempura of tiger prawns partnered with mango salsa & sweet chilli, a home smoked chicken Caesar salad, or a fillet of sea bass on a bed of braised fennel & orange basil salsa. There are native influences, too: in the bar you can tuck into dressed Cromer crab, homemade pork & beef burgers, or traditional fish & chips. Superior puds, such as summer berry creme brulee & milk chocolate mousse with orange salad, are not to be missed &, with real ales on tap & a decent wine selection, it’s no wonder this has become the gastropub of choice for many in the area.
