"One of the great surprises of 2018 is James Blunt opening not just a pub, but a credible one. The Fox and Pheasant — or ‘Fox and Fez’ to loafer-wearing locals — is posh, obviously. But just as Blunt has a spectacular sense of humour, so too does his pub. Alongside the standard snacks of chilli squid and cod cheek scampi are plump beef shin croquettes and buttermilk fried guinea fowl. The chips are great and so is the service. Don’t overlook it." - Josh Barrie
