I know, it just looks great. The last few times I've been the service has been terrible, but that doesn't fit the narrative. I'm all about the Fox though.

For a suburban pub though the Gully is a pleasant place for a weeknight beer.
The Fox causes incredible cringe for me, it's about as authentic as the Shepherds Bush Walkabout!

Places you see 'themed' pubs. I got off a tour bus in Vienna back in the 90s and was greeted by an Australian (not Austrian) pub. Had to go in to check it out. Was a classic. Even had vegemite on toast on the menu. As well as 'crocodile'.... which I think was just chicken.

Oh and Fosters of course.

lol that's shit. I asked for a Bloody Mary one hungover Saturday morning and no one in the place knew how to make one. In a pub.
Welcome to the country.

Then again that time I was at a pub in Adelaide (Squatters arms?) I asked for a Bundy and nobody had any idea what to do. It was like they got lost in another dimension if they had to make a drink from anything but the Coopers taps.

Half the bartenders in Adelaide are tap monkeys who wouldn't know how to make a screwdriver.

It's fine I don't expect it be a perfect rep of a british pub, you hate everything anyway
Hahaha, absolutely the opposite is true! I just don't feel the need to post 'ooh isn't that nice' on a messageboard as that's not really the point of discussion and debate. The like button does that.

You want authentic hop on a plane
I've just come back actually, why are you so defensive over this pub? It labels itself a British pub, I literally grew up in British pubs (mum was a barmaid and occasionaly a landlady (so we lived in the pub)) so commented on its lack of authenticity. I didn't once mention how shit the yorkshire pudding was! (and is).
