Our condiment connoisseur is bringing the sauce to you...
Fox and Grapes
Not only do this friendly team serve great beer, they’ll bang together a pizza and whack it in the oven for you, too. There’s meat, veggie and vegan options aplenty, so grab yersen a pint, some sauces and take a pew.
Some feel the delicacy of authentic pizza would be compromised by additional sauce. If that’s your scene, please enjoy another fine LeftLion article. This one’s strictly for the red-stuff enthusiasts, duckeh!
If you’re still with me, you’ll agree that quality dough-based discs are elevated by a fine relish. Mr Domino knows it and Tommy K knows it, too. The sauce at the Fox & Grapes is proper Notts: locally crafted by Lacehouse Kitchen Ltd. They won a 2017 Great Taste Award for their “Sauce Shop” range and they campaign for #realsauce with no thickeners, no stabilisers and no added water. We’re talking saucy… #realsaucy
The “K” is rich and tangy. Garlic, onion and brown sugar accentuate bags of juicy, even smokey, tomato goodness. These scientists have only gone and put bleddy red grape vinegar in the mix an’all, so expect a sophisticated, rounded palate, with fruity sweetness and a mellow tang to keep everything in balance.
All finished off with a lovely swig from behind the bar, there’s little fault to take here. Be sure to dip in, youth.
Yours, with condiments,
Tommy K

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
