Closed in June 2024 and as of 20/5/25 is still closed and for sale.

The Fox was once a part of the large local estate of the Shrewsbury & Wem brewery. Situated on the edge of town in an area once known as Ireland (reputedly because for a time the area was home to a predominantly Irish community). Basically a two roomed setup, it has a public bar and a separate room used as a drinking/dining area. But there's also a rather obscure little space which one could almost call a snug. It is usually fairly quiet. Sport is shown on a TV in the bar. The unusually high bar counter is the result of a previous refurbishment. The counter was moved back a few feet to create more drinking space as planned, but the presence of a large concrete block covering the cellar meant it had to be raised to sit on the top. The beer range is either Doom Bar or Bombardier alongside a guest beer which is usually from Ludlow Brewery, though occasionally, the offering may be from further afield.
