A number of pubs are providing takeaway food and/or drinks during the Covid-19 lockdown. Some offer deliveries, while others are selling from the premises. This page lists details of those we know about.
If you can give any of our pubs some support through these terrible times by buying some takeaway food or drink, please do so. Our pubs need as much support of possible if they're going to still be there for us when the crisis is over.

Gedding Fox & Hounds
closed 1819.
grid reference TL 940 582
The Fox & Hounds is listed in the 1851 census with four households, none of whom are shown as publicans. Most other censuses up to 1901 name Fox & Hounds. It is usually listed between Gedding Last and Frogs Hall, next to cottage at Abbot's Farm and Bradfield Rd. (Probably towards the north west of the village).
Our photograph and location show a building called "Reynard House" on the OS map, which strongly suggests it may have been the pub, especially as it's in roughly the right location. Though signs at the gate show it's now known as Hubbard Corner.
