The Fox and Hounds in Kingsthorpe has seen many changes over the past few years It had a thriving football team and golf society Its Halloween and Christmas/New year events were always well attended by the locals Sadly the owners decided to revamp it and turn it into something it couldn't be at least in the area it served after a time of loosing regulars and falling takings they decided change how the pub was running appointing a new manager who new how the old style Fox and Hounds functioned I'm glad to say it has gradually returned to a pub enjoyed by regulars and visitors to the area It still has not regained its panache but hopefully this will return in due course It has a good selection of Beers, Wines and spirits and a comprehensive food menu always well presented and off excellent quality all be it a little expensive, It also has a nice outside seating area for eating and drinking weather permitting. Finally well worth a visit you will always find some one to engage in...
