Situated in the creative epicentre of Nottingham, the Fox & Grapes first opened in the 1830s and has been part of the fabric of the city’s pub scene ever since.

The pub had a short period of notoriety in the late 60s early 70s when the Landlord was stabbed to death while out walking his dog early in the morning . Police were amazed that there were no witnesses as it faces the main bus depot and buses were in and out all the while at that time of morning - (visit link) .

Latterly known as Peggers Inn, originally called The Fox and Grapes and known locally as Pretty Windows.

It stands on Southwell Street on the edge of the old Sneinton wholesale fruit and veg market and was permitted to open early to cater for the market workers who finished work in the early hours of the morning.

Peggers Inn closed a couple of years ago after the fruit and veg market moved to Lenton. Now reopened as a Castlerock pub, Sept. 2017.
