Bustling pub in a commanding situation overlooking a park and local shops where the bus stops are situated. The interior is broadly divided into several areas. There is a section with a pool table which, appropriately, has a picture of a fox and hounds hunting scene. A central fireplace separates this area from some cosy sofa seated with a TV. Another larger seating area has a drop down screen over a fireplace for big sporting events and off this is a darts section which gives access to a garden. Sports and music are popular here with live music from local bands on Friday evenings. Games include 'corks' on a Sunday, very much a local game. Quiz nights are on Thursday. The single guest ale is sourced from independent breweries primarily Wye Valley and throughput is such that it is changed regularly each week. In warmer weather, there is a good sized garden as well as a smaller somewhat secluded garden area accessed via the pool room. Additional seating is provided at the front of the premises. A short walk from the Risca & Pontymister railway station on the Cardiff/Ebbw Vale line.
Great place to be with nice atmosphere and welcoming staff.
... I haven't been to many pubs in South Wales, but this one of the best ones. Will need to drag friends and family here.
Very friendly place nice outside area
Good atmosphere, wide variety of drinks, pool table and darts available too! Staff very friendly and helpful. Very good on a Friday for 'foxy Friday's'
I like it here. They serve a wide selection of drinks plus crisps and other nibbles to choose from. Friendly staff, clean facilities and popular amongst the villagers. The fox and hounds also has a lovely outside seating area which I enjoy using myself in the summer months. Full marks.
