I'm not surprised, The Fox has struggled for years (mostly due to bad management): http://www.stratford-herald.com/101138-thousands-pledged-save-fox-loxley.html

The problem here is Enterprise Inns (or whatever they call themselves these days!) Enterprise are only interested in milking gullible licencees for their life savings. They have no interest whatsoever of providing pubs that locals want.

The New Inn in Norton Lindsay seems to be thriving now it's owned by the villagers, so could be a viable option for The Fox.

The village has managed to raise the cash; I hope they do well in their venture: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-51152232

I wish them well, but truthfully fear for them. Enterprise are not good people to work with.

I just hope they've shed all ties to EI.

Hope so. Enterprise Inns have had a bad reputation for years.

I wish them well, it's a great idea if EI keeps their fingers out of the pie. I am concerned, however about the current talk of a trade off between pubs and schools that this might prove a hurdle if that trade off goes ahead unless it can be circumnavigated by the cafe' and the community growing space at the rear.

Had a quick pint here today. The beer waas good, and a great job's been done on refurbishing the place.

Was it busy? Did you get the impression that it has a long-term future? - A new team have just taken over my local, I doubt they'll see the 5-year lease out. They're already 'buying in' their custom.

There were only a few people in when I turned up, but 3-4 diners wondered in when I was there. The beer was good, so I'm going to give it another go.

I dropped in again last night. There was a good crowd around the bar, and a couple of groups were eating, plus another couple of tables were booked.

A couple of pints (beer still good), and a pack of scratchings cost £10.50 - really good vlue, especially for the Stratford area. I didn't get a look at the main menu, but one of te specials was lamb & black pudding hot pot for £15, which was a really good price.

I'd definately go there again.
