The Smokin' Fox

The Smokin' Fox

Food and drink

The food is homely pub cooking using seasonal ingredients: pulled pork buns, burgers, toasties and salads. There is a pre-theatre menu early in the week. Behind the bar you'll find Scottish beers on tap and an extensive cocktail menu.

Sport and groups

Big games are shown, and you can message the pub or ask staff to request a particular fixture. For birthdays or work drinks, a private room called the Den can be hired. Being so close to Central Station, it is a natural place to wait for a delayed train or meet friends arriving from elsewhere. On big match days expect it to be busy and loud, so book ahead if you want a table with a view of the screens. For a quieter meal, aim for an early weekday evening, when the pre-theatre menu runs and the bar is calmer.

Booking and nearby

Tables for food or drinks can be booked on OpenTable, and walk-ins are welcome. Rumi, a Turkish restaurant, is next door, and An Café and Food is nearby for a daytime coffee. Radisson Blu and voco Grand Central are within a few minutes' walk if you need a bed.
