As the warmer weather and longer days are finally upon us, The Fox and Hounds in Knossington are opening earlier during the week to welcome you for a summer pint.

The Fox and Hounds is a cosy local pub located in the heart of Knossington, promising character surroundings and top-quality food from local farmers and producers.

Landlord, Rangel Gadzhonov, has recently returned to the local gastro pub after taking a break to set up a whopping 6 other pubs in Cambridge and Norfolk.

Now that he is back, Rangel has big plans for the venue, including longer opening hours, family events and new food offers to get the tastebuds, and your wallets, tingling. 

He said: "We are a great Gastro pub, but I am keen to offer more. I want to offer an evening a week of cheaper food, quiz nights, and more events to get more people in and enjoying the building and the atmosphere. 

"I am so passionate about the pub and about my job, it is about more than just a wage for me, and this is such a great building, it deserves to see some life."

As a part of this drive to sell their new offers and make the most of the summer months, they are now welcoming patrons on Tuesday evenings, with the doors opening at 5pm - great for that mid-week pint.

The team have also extended their weekend opening hours, and welcomed a new summer pint offer.

Throughout the summer, patrons can enjoy a pint of Atlantic Pale Ale for only £3.

Atlantic Pale Ale is a modern pale ale brewed to feature the best attributes of Sharp's Brewery ingredients. It is a succulent session IPA derived from two types of malt, tropical and citrus fruits from new world hops.

Every Thursday night, the team also offer a meal deal for only £12 per person. Check out our What's On page for these weekly deals and more local foodie events.

Every Wednesday night, the team are also offering their new steak night deal. The deal will feed two and is great for date night or a social dinner with friends.

Enjoy two steaks with triple-cooked chips, salad and bottle of house wine for only £45.

On top of this, on Father's Day, this Sunday 18 June, every dad gets a free pudding!

The team can't wait to welcome you, your four legged friends, and family groups as they get into the swing of things with more events, food options, and attractions heading to the pub throughout 2023.
