Fox & Firkin English Pub

The Fox & Firkin has been just up the road from me forever, but it took me until recently to finally make a trip there. It's an English pub, although you'll hear just as many Aussie accents as any other. Downstairs is a snug and cosy pub, and upstairs is an airy restaurant, although you're just as likely to get a decent meal at either. Housed in an old tea mill, a wonderful place to get a reasonable, tasty meal and a proper (English) sized pint. My personal favourite is the Beef & Guinness pie at the pub. You'll find some unique brews on tap, such as Bulmer's cider, Guinness, Kilkenny, and Old Speckled Hen. Closed Monday and Tuesday, Fox & Firkin only opens before 5pm on Sunday, on which day they have a full English breakfast and Sunday roast on offer. Check out the open open mic on Sundays (I believe only once a month) and perform for a free pint (2 if you play before 8pm)!
