For centuries pubs have been the gathering place for those seeking a pint of ale, a hot meal or a visit with old friends — a “public house” in every way.
Grand Opening
Fox & Goose is housed in the W.P. Fuller Building, a distinctive brick building that was constructed in 1913 and home to the original Fuller Paint & Glass Company. Construction on Fox & Goose began in January 1972, with the grand opening on January 15, 1975, serving beer, wine and pub fare for weekday lunch and Friday Nite Supper.
Co-founded by Bill and Denise Dalton and created in homage to Bill’s hometown pub in Hebden Bridge of western Yorkshire, England.
