About Thurston Fox and Hounds
Our Pub
Our Beer
Our Beer
Believed to have originally been built in the early 1840's, the Fox and Hounds in Thurston has always been rooted in country pub tradition. Soon after opening came the nearby railway station and the expansion of the village placed the pub centrally in village life. Today it is very much a freehouse with its own identity and we strive to offer the same simple values of good cellarmanship and a friendly welcome that were very much at the heart of its origin.
We are a pet friendly pub and welcome frequent canine visitors to either bar.
Continuing the good work of previous landlords, Andy and Charlotte are committed to ensuring the Fox and Hounds continues to be renowned for its hospitaility, good beer and food and honest service.

Good beer is about choice and consistency and we make every effort to ensure our customers have both. Our Cask Marque accreditation is an indication of the quality we offer and we have been listed in the Good Beer Guide since 2003.

An enticing selection of guest beers are frequently sourced from throughout the UK, while retaining a healthy respect of East Anglian fare.
On any day you can expect a choice of six real ales, four premium lagers, and a guest lager, plus a wide selection of good wines, spirits and soft drinks.
