The Fox at Ryton

After our much-loved 17th century public house closed in 2022, the local community rallied round to secure the future of The Fox and bring it back to life as a vibrant, inclusive and sustainable community hub. On 31st March 2025 after a long campaign, receipt of a substantial government grant, and investment from the community, The Fox was purchased and is being fully renovated.

‘More than just a pub’: our vision is for The Fox at Ryton is to be a destination hub that combines excellent food and drink with true community spirit.

We can't wait to see what the future holds and invite you to join us on the journey!
