honest, fresh food in a traditional, warm & cosy village pub setting
Your Cosy & Friendly Village Pub
The fox is situated in the beautiful village of Penllyn in the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan just west of the famous market town of Cowbridge.
An old and imposing building nestled between the church, community hall and surrounding farmland. Recently refurbished and acquired by a small team of residents, whose primary objective was to ensure the survival of this well-known establishment. The vison was a simple one, to create an atmosphere and location which could be enjoyed as though it were an extension of our lovely village community for those visiting.

Classic pub food
Our food philosophy is a simple one, uncomplicated pub classics, cooked with fresh and seasonal ingredients, presented without fuss.
Locally sourced
Our “local” claims are simple, they are about our relationships with local business, farmers and producers and not always entirely where all the ingredients originated from.
Our Wine List
Our wine list contains something for everyone, to be enjoyed by the fireside, on our patios, in our garden, or especially in our cosy restaurant.



Unrivaled
Atmosphere
Expect thick stone walls, rustic beams and open fires ready to roar in the winter, and a sunny terrace and beer garden for the warmer months, we promise it will feel like a real “home from home.”
Recently refurbished the fox is an inviting space where you can snuggle up around tables, enjoy local and regional ales, beers, a wide range of Gins and Spirits. Enjoy great conversation with friends around real log fires.
We think our friendly staff and regulars, along with our cosy, intimate atmosphere will win you over in an instant.
