The Fox And Hounds

You'll smell the charcoal before you even push through the door of this proper stone-built local on Tinshill Road. The open fire draws you straight in, but it's the grill that keeps this place busy seven days a week. The kitchen knows its way around flame-kissed meat, turning out chargrilled dishes that put most chain pubs to shame. The hand-pulled ales are properly kept, and the crowd mixes dog walkers from the nearby moors with families settling in for Sunday lunch. It's the kind of place where you pop in for one pint and end up staying for dinner, especially when that fire's roaring and the grill's working overtime.
