About
Among a myriad of tall Docklands chain hotels, Fox @ Connaught sits apart from the crowd and manages to bring a little character back to the area with a friendly pub vibe. No surprise then, that is has a great local following but if you’re from out of town, you can also avoid the last DLR home by checking in to one of 17 recently refurbished bedrooms. Sip a Pimm’s at one of many outdoor tables in the summer or cosy up with a real ale on one of the sofas, when the weather turns. Trad dishes such as fish & chips come in hearty portions while more contemporary pub fare like cured meats and cheeses on a continental sharing board ensures there’s something to suit all-comers. Dieters can also keep track of calories, which are listed next to some of the dishes; though they might find it hard to resist baked New York cheesecake. Its amble size makes it a popular venue for weddings, Christmas parties and conferences, too.
