Fox and Parrot Tavern

Fox and Parrot Tavern

Any place that serves beer can call itself a bar, but a pub is something special. We take the statement "Authentic British Pub" very, very seriously. A Tavern? Certainly. A Bar? Never! A British pub is a place to take your family for a pint or a meal or both. A safe, comfortable environment free of smoke and loud music or rowdy people. That is our goal - to create the comfort of an Authentic British Pub. Please stop in and let us know how we are doing There are those that will claim that they have an authentic British pub or tavern. But Brian is so authentic, there are 2 towns in England that share his surname. Papworth Everard and Papworth St. Agnes are two villages 12 miles West of Cambridge in what once was Huntingdonshire. Doubters can click [here] for proof. * We could Americanize the British recipes or try to make them "our own version" - but that would be turning our back on the pub tradition. * Our recipes were literally brought across the pond from the UK and are as authentic as locally available ingredients will allow. * We could decorate the Fox and Parrot for Mardi Gras or Nascar or every other event or holiday that comes along..but we don't. Our staff has have been taking annual trips to the UK for years and have never seen a British pub decorated for Mardi Gras or Cinco de Mayo (they don't like the French and are too far from Mexico to understand Cinco de Mayo)- but that's another story. * Speaking of those annual trips, we have at least one member of our crew criss-cross the UK each year to make sure we are in touch with the British tradition. Have you ever had the fish and chips that were voted the best in the UK? If no, visit the Magpie Cafe in Whitby on your next trip to the UK. That's where we went to test the authenticity of our fish and chips recipe. The picture on the right was taken on Boxing Day, so the regular cafe was closed - but the Take-Away was open - with many people braving the December wind right off the North Sea to get the Magpie Cafe's best of class fish & chips. That's what happens when you do things right.
