Fox & Anchor is a historic pub with rooms on Charterhouse Street at the edge of Smithfield Market. Its traditional interior, busy bar and close connection to the market give it a distinctive City atmosphere from early breakfast through evening drinks and dinner.
The kitchen has a strong focus on substantial British cooking, particularly steaks and chops. Ribeye, pork T bone, lamb shank and seasonal game sit alongside familiar pub classics and heritage vegetables, reflecting the venue's position in one of London's best known meat trading districts.
Breakfast is another defining feature, led by the generous Fox's City Breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausages, rump steak, lamb kidney and liver, black pudding and traditional accompaniments. Sunday service centres on roasts with crisp potatoes and large Yorkshire puddings.
Changing local ales and craft beers share the bar with wine, cocktails and seasonal spritzes. Food is served throughout the day, making the pub useful for an early market breakfast, a business lunch, a relaxed dinner or a weekend stay in one of the six rooms upstairs.
Address: 115 Charterhouse Street, Clerkenwell, London EC1M 6AA, England
