About Fox & Grapes

"This bright and airy single-room pub has ornamented windows to three sides, which earned the pub its nickname 'Pretty Windows' in the mid-1900s." A Castle Rock pub in Sneinton Market, reopened under its original name in 2017: six hand-pulled ales, a garden, burgers and BBQ from Chucky's.
