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 some of both. A safe, comfortable environment free of smoke and loud 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 they have an authentic British pub or tavern. But Brian is so authentic, he has 2 British towns named after him. 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 close as locally available incredients will allow
• We could serve American lagers on draught, but a true Brit publican would never do such a thing. We have bent the rule a bit and keep a few bottles of lager in the fridge - but never on draught.

• We could decorate the Fox and Parrot for Mardi Gras or Nascar or every other event ot holiday that comes along. 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 generally do not like the French and are too far from Mexico to understand Cinco de Mayo - but that is 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. That's where we went to check 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. That's what happens when you do things right.

Speaking of St. Patrick's Day...

2008 will be the Fox and Parrot's 10 annual celebration of this Irish tradition. We take the word tradition as seriously as we take the work authentic. Brian takes pride in his tradition of serving only the best Irish drink and food for this celebration. Looking for a burger and green beer? Try another place, you ill not find them here. Tradition. Authentic. We have made our choice, not it is your turn: What will it be.. a pint of Smithwick's and Mulligan Stew -or- a green-tinted pilsner and a burger?

Join us and bring the family.

• We pride ourselves in our family-friendly environment where you can enjoy traditional British fare for both adults and kids
• We have a wide selection of ales, lagers, stouts from the British Isles, Germany, Jamaica, and the US.

• All of the food is made to order and as authentic as possible.

  • click [here] for examples

Family Dining area

The main dining area is completely non-smoking, although we have a large patio out front and downstairs for those that need to nip away for a break. Weather permitting, you can order, eat, and drink on the patio. And since it is outside, smoking is permitted.

Darts? Fancy a game of British darts? We have a dual-board gaming area just right for playing or learning. If the game is not familiar to you - your host will be happy to help you learn. We have a set of dart rules and explanations on this site.

You will not find fake cork or electronic dart boards, or plastic tipped darts in any self-respecting British pub. So you will never find them here. No way - this is an authentic tavern. We have only the best quality imported British bristle boards and steel-tipped, balanced darts.

Preparing for 2012? Now that darts have been officially recognised as a sport in the UK -and- since London just won the bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics, we feel darts will become an olympic sport. Come early and practice as we plan our own run for the gold.

If you missed us on Guy Fawkes Day, check the Guy Fawkes page for details. We honored the 400th anniversary of the ill-fated Gunpowder Plot in ... bang-up fashion!!

Or, if you missed us on St Patrick's Day, check the St. Patrick's Day page for details. It was SRO (standing room only) all nite!

Haunted? Is the Fox and Parrot haunted? Or is this just a rumor? Brian insists that those were just chicken bones he dug up when building the tavern and have nothing to do with vodoo or sacred burial grounds. Others disagree. When you come -- listen carefully and watch for moving shadows out of the corner of your eye. And, keep telling yourself - they were only chicken bones...
