The Fox is a great pub in Haggerston with a very strong craft beer focus. Ten draught taps and eight hand pumps feature a selection of local and international craft beers covering all kinds of styles.

A cosy and well attended Pub just by Columbia Road .
Go during the week or on Sundays after a walk along the Columbia Flower Market
Go for a Pint and if your hungry, don't be afraid to ask for their delicious pies (there's one for the veggies too)
Good and nice service from the bar
Notes .
From Monday to Wednesday you've got "Pie O'clock" from 8,90£ (pint+pie)
Serious rebranding after being taken over by the Draft House group.
The last time I was at the Birdcage it was still a proper East End boozer populated by old men and a couple having a loud drunken argument. That's all gone now, along with the grim carpet. Families and bearded young men were chowing down on pie and mash with mushy peas. It still has a traditional feel about it.
Food is rudimentary here. We shared the Levantine platter of hummous, tzaziki, baba ghanoush, turkish pickled peppers and flat bread. Perfectly fine but nothing to write home about. Except the discovery of serving hummous with a good dose of harissa on top. That is how I will be eating hummous from now on.
