About The Old Spot Inn

“The Spot” as it is known to all who visit, is a CAMRA National Pub of the Year, is recommended by Alistair Sawday and features in the Good Pub Guide amongst many other publications.

It is a traditional pub in every sense, whether you fancy a Sunday Roast by the cosy open fires after a winter walk or a cool glass of wine whilst reading your book in the pretty secluded garden. In the same family ownership for over 20 years, it won’t be long before the welcoming staff and friendly locals will make you feel like it is your “local” too! We look forward to seeing you…..

What our customers say about us

Excellent service and food right down to planning weeks before and the communication was impeccable, very family friendly made our evening ,thank you to all the staff who were wonderful we will be back again xxxx

Had dinner for the first time tonight & it was absolutely lovely. To be honest, I knew it would be! 
Confess to being slightly biased as Julie & Ellie used to own my local pub & we had some wonderful times in there. 
They are quietly working their magic at the Fox & have a great chef who is creative but understands that people want to go out for a good dinner without having to google all the ingredients & descriptions! 
Looking forward to trying a Sunday lunch 
The old fox maybe a bit out the way but if you want a relaxing dinner with good food & real ales, I would suggest you visit!

Love Ellie and Jule's previous pubs so expecting this to be no different- great food, decor and atmosphere xxx

Good atmosphere, great beers and yummy pizza

They have done an absolutely amazing job with the place, totally new look and atmosphere! They were really welcoming, friendly and relaxed had a good section of drinks. They also have a table made of the old bar and have started a photo board of the pub in previous years which I think is a really nice touch. Absolutely what Coaley needs and will be back again really soon!
