Our History

The Fox Inn dates back to 1790 and is 250 yards from the beach in Felpham. The pub is independently run and known for its cosy friendly atmosphere, serving a great selection of quality wines, world lagers and local & national ales to complement our freshly cooked locally sourced food.

The pub is surprising not named after the animal but after the H.M. Customs Cutter called “The Fox” that sailed directly off Felpham beach in search of illegal cargo in the 17th century, hence our ship sign. It was also once the watering hole of the poet William Blake who lived opposite the pub and where he was famously arrested and charged with sedition on a jumped up charge involving a drunken soldier staying at the Fox.
