Fox and Goose Inn

The Fox and Goose Inn is a pub, restaurant and bed-and-breakfast in the village of Parracombe on Exmoor in Devon, in the United Kingdom. It presents itself as "a proper Exmoor inn" and is described in public records simply as a pub in Parracombe, Devon. The business occupies an imposing Victorian building that has been given a contemporary, stylish interior, and it combines a food-led pub with four guest bedrooms, so that visitors can eat, drink and stay in the same place. The inn's offer centres on drink and food. It typically keeps two local real ales on tap, serves local cider and maintains a good selection of wines alongside a full range of other drinks. The kitchen is described as producing all menu items on site, with as many ingredients as possible sourced locally, resulting in a menu of traditional favourites and seasonal specialities. Meat, fish, vegetarian and vegan dishes are all served, together with homemade desserts, and overnight guests are offered a homemade, hearty breakfast. The Fox and Goose positions itself around a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. Its own description stresses that "the concept of rushing is left to others" and that food, laughter and relaxing are the three things taken seriously there. It invites guests to treat the inn as home, to relax, and to feel fed and nurtured. This warm, laid-back hospitality is presented as the core of the experience, alongside the surrounding Exmoor scenery that guests are encouraged to explore. The inn operates on a seasonal weekly pattern rather than every day. It is open Tuesday to Sunday, serving food on Tuesday to Saturday evenings and on Wednesday to Sunday lunchtimes. Bookings for tables and rooms are taken by telephone and email. The pub also acts as a small community hub: a fresh fish van visits on Tuesdays from 9.15am to 9.45am, and a Post Office service is available on Tuesdays from 11.00am to 1.00pm. As a single-site village inn, the Fox and Goose is a privately run hospitality business rather than a chain or listed company. Its identity is closely tied to its location in Parracombe and to the wider Exmoor area, and its marketing leans on local sourcing, local ales and cider, and the combination of good food, cosy rooms and a warm welcome.

The Fox and Goose Inn is a village inn in Parracombe, a village on Exmoor in Devon, in the United Kingdom. Public reference data describes it simply as a pub in Parracombe, Devon, and the business itself presents the site as "a proper Exmoor inn". The building is described by the inn as an imposing Victorian structure, indicating that the premises date back to the Victorian era, although the exact date of construction and the inn's founding year are not stated in the available evidence. At some point the building was refurbished with a contemporary, stylish interior, giving the historic Victorian shell a more modern feel while retaining its role as a traditional village pub. Over time the business developed into a combined pub, restaurant and bed-and-breakfast, with four bedrooms added so that guests could stay while exploring the surrounding Exmoor countryside. The inn's modern identity is built around local sourcing and a relaxed style of hospitality. It typically offers two local real ales on tap, serves local cider and keeps a good selection of wines, and its kitchen produces all menu items on site using as many locally sourced ingredients as possible. The menu combines traditional favourites with seasonal specialities and caters for meat, fish, vegetarian and vegan diners, with homemade desserts and a homemade breakfast for overnight guests.
