Fox @ Excel in Newham

On the 1st night before the exhibition the Fox was a little quiet, food was brought quick and very tastyOn the night of the exhibition the pub was heaving alive. We were still able to get a drink in good time and the security guards we great and not overzealous good people skills used to defuse any drunkenness.Worth a visit.

Nice friendly staff, but the food for our event took ages to arrive and portion sizes were rather varied.

Disappointing Hunter's chicken as the chicken was so dry. That said 20% was taken off that dish. Very disappointing that there wasn't a gluten free menu Ladies toilets could be freshened up

We had good waitress service and food was better than average pub grub, No complaints.

Food and service were ok. Nothing special, the peas and mash were nuked and had no flavour. A little bit of cream would go a long way to making the mash taste like something. With a little effort, the food could be much better. It's clear they just nuke everything. For those prices, they should offer better quality food.My wife ordered the chicken wings - no flavour. Thank God they had chopped chilly pieces otherwise the chicken was tasteless.I don't want to be mean, but for those prices, it is disappointing.A little more effort would go a long way.

Ordered a blue steak and it came out well done. I told the waitress but she didn't seem to understand what I was trying to tell her (she had already said it was her first day) and there was no one else around. The service was very slow, it took a while to have our order taken in the first place. I'm very disappointed by the experience as the place is nice and other meals were enjoyed.

It's obviously well placed to serve anyone attending an event at Excel and it is a reasonable space both inside and out. After that it doesn't have much going for it - the drinks are expensive and there is no hand pulled bitter. Inside is stripped bare - exposed brickwork, beams and wooden floor which means when the music is turned on it is 'foreground' music rather than background music which means you have to shout at each other to be heard. The men's toilets were also incredibly smelly.Avoid.

Handy for the Excel, most of the staff seemed great, although there was one irritable lady who didn't like us pushing tables together, even though the previous night one of the guys working there had offered and done it for us when we said how many people were coming!Ate here three times as it was close to the excel and our hotel, burger was good, but the chicken ceaser salad and sausages and mash seemed like they'd been cooked hours earlier and the meat was rubbery.Slightly weird music choices, drum n bass outside and older music inside.

The food and staff is brilliant. New owner and is fixing the place up. Def needed it. Love the outside area. Took my dog there. Nice place for the dog to walk and got chicken and bowl of water. Thank you.

It's a fine large warehouse pub, ideal for handling traffic from all the exhibitions held in the centre next door. A fair selection of lagers and ciders but nothing appeared to be available on cask when I was here. Staff are friendly and helpful. All in all a fun kind of place. Not a place where you are likely to be on your own for very long!
