Thank you from ‘The Fox’
“Thank you to everyone who has supported The Fox and your kind feedback in our first week of opening.
As we enter our second week we would like to clarify our position as to the welcoming of children at the pub as there would appear to be some misunderstanding.
The Fox is a community pub which strives to welcome all, including of course well behaved children accompanied and supervised by an adult. We would however respectively request that no children are in the bar and lounge area after 8pm as you will appreciate this is an adult environment after this time.
Again a massive thank you from the whole team to all who have made our first week so enjoyable”
And now for some really good news.
North Luffenham has waited eagerly for some time for the reopening of the pub. It has waited some time for the very good reasons that Jason Allen, landlord of The Fox, has outlined below in his letter to the residents of North Luffenham:
The “Dirty Cowboys” to play at the Fox & Hounds
On Saturday 11th January we have more live music with the Dirty Cowboys at the Fox & Hounds.
Another local band with a big following.
Free entry as always.

Fox & Hounds over Xmas and New Year
Please join us at the Fox and Hounds for carols around the tree on Friday at 7.30 followed by the Christmas draw.
Christmas Day, we are open lunchtime only (but not serving food.?!?).
Most other times are normal except New Years Eve, when we’ll be opening at five in the evening instead of six and going through until 2014 (the year that is!)
The weekly quiz will be running as of New Years Day ( due to popular demand!)
Best wishes to all our customers for the festive period and for 2014.
Sian, George & Maz Roberts
