Welcome to the Fox & Hounds
Classic country pub nestled in the charming conservation village of Barnston, at the heart of the Wirral Peninsula.
"The Fox" as we are affectionately known, has been welcoming folks from near and far for a couple of centuries now. We like to think the food has improved a little in that time, but we're still offering warm and genuine hospitality, in classic cosy surroundings, and there's always a friendly cosy buzz about the place. We aim to serve quality fresh locally sourced dishes, alongside some great local ales, carefully picked quality wines, locally roasted coffee and plenty besides.
Our wholesome fresh menu offers a good choice of British pub classics, as well as a number of seasonal specials taking influences from a little further afield. Our chefs create their own menu, striving to offer fresh interesting dishes using seasonal regional produce where possible to keep our food miles down and help showcase the produce this corner of the country has to offer.

We're very proud of our beer, and strive to keep it in top-notch condition. You'll always find a local brew on our pumps with a firm favourite being 'Trappers Hat' from Brimstage Brewery, just over a mile away.
We have a great selection of over 60 malts and whiskies, together with a variety of gins, vodkas and rums. We also have a carefully selected wine list from worlds old and new, along with an interesting choice of non-alcoholic and hot drinks.
Our selection of premium lagers, craft and non-alcoholic beers has grown over recent times, with some local and national representation.

The pub has a couple of open fires, one nestled in the snug, the other in the main bar, either being ideal for cosying up to in those chilly Winter months. If sunshine is more your thing, perhaps soak up the sun and watch the world go by, out on our terrace in the oh so brief warmer months, or in our bright and airy garden rooms. Whether you're out for a walk and fancy popping in for a drink, or planning a special evening with friends and loved ones, there's a corner for it at The Fox.

The Fox & Hounds is built on a site that has been home to a pub for nearly 400 years, making it the site of one of Wirral’s oldest pubs. There seems to have been a pub or pubs in the village since at least the 16th century, serving the farm labourers of the village and weary travellers, taking on the once treacherous Barnston 'dip'.
