Fox & Goose, Halmore, nr Purton GL13 9HJ - Glo'shire Pubs & Breweries

In the mid to late 1970’s I was attracted to the wonderful Berkeley Hunt Inn on the canal side at Purton. In order to get there, and to consume considerably more that the legal driving limit, the preferred mode of transport was bicycle. The Fox and Goose at Halmore was an inviting 19^th century red-bricked traditional pub which I had to pass to get to the Berkeley Hunt. On more than one occasion I stopped at the Fox and Goose to sample the ubiquitous Whitbread P.A. that was on offer. I recall that the interior of the pub was totally unspoilt – a genuine time warp.
