We went specifically as we thought there was a brewery on site (shipstone) wasn't clear if there was but we enjoyed a lovely pint and some delicious snacks. Only criticism would be that food is served in take away containers so not great for the environment....

Was passing though and stopped here to eat. It's in a relatively rough looking area but don't let that turn you away.
The staff is friendly and this little cozy pub is one of the few places that serve a mix of exotic burgers either as a takeaway or to eat in.
I'm not a fan of wooden cutlery but I understand the desire for easy cleaning and eco friendly impact.
I was in just before the kitchen closed and they still served us so it's nice to see they care that we eat.
Bar has a good mix of drinks on tap and I would recommend trying some.
Only downside is that it's slightly expensive but that unfortunately is quite typical of pubs these days.
If you're after trying a kangaroo burger or a wild boar burger then this is a good place to go for a quick meal and a pint or two.

Stayed in the area overnight to watch the mighty hatters the following day at the city ground, shame we couldn't take the 3 points but this place made the whole journey even better. Literally 4 mins to the tram stop into the city. Excellent selection of food, The game burgers are excellent, real surprising selection!! I went for the buffalo, but theres wagyu, kangaroo, wild boar and more to choose from. Really impressive menu. The pub itself is really chilled, made to feel welcome straight away (didnt wear my Luton Shirt just in case!!) Great selection of beers and really nice atmosphere. Fingers crossed we stay up this season so i can come back next year! If you're local, you've got a real gem on your hands!!

Great drinks this evening with the family at the Fox and Crown great service and friendly staff. We ordered food to take home from the new food menu. We ordered 2 amazing tasty burgers which came with fries, we also ordered the chicken wings, theses wings are massive with dips on the side. Let me tell you that it was outstanding very tasty and filling. Definitely recommend a visit you will not be disappointed. Xx

Absolutely love this pub. The staff are lovely and friendly. Their service is second to none.
The regulars are warm and welcoming. I've made a few great pals.
Having recently opened up their kitchen, I've sampled the breaded Brie wedges, delicious 😋.
I'm not particularly a burger fan, however yesterday the special was lamb burger, brioche bun, homemade coleslaw, mint yoghurt and fries. I love the quirkiness of the cardboard container it's all presented in.
The lamb burger was thick and juicy. Cooked to perfection, stunningly mouth watering. Very tasty. Absolutely loved the homemade coleslaw and I had the pleasure of sharing tips with the chef.
Overall an amazing Saturday afternoon and evening. I'll definitely be working my way through their menu.

This is an excellent pub, just like they used to be, with no frills. Beer was superb, staff friendly too. A short walk from Basford Tram Stop. Sells the Shipstones Beer Range at very reasonable prices.
