The Fat Fox

Early December 2007 saw the opening of a new venue featuring regular blues - The Fat Fox, on the junction of Victoria Road South and Albert Rd., Southsea.

Previously The Fat Fox was known as The Wonkey Donkey and Black Bar - and before that it was a Mongolian Restaurant. The Fat Fox is opposite The Goose At The V & A - which used to be the old Southsea Police Station.

The pub is divided into two distinct areas, and in what was previously the Black Bar, there is a good amount of seating, with a stage dominating the far end of the room, where Portsmouth's top blues specialists, Bullfrog Blues Club will start hosting live blues gigs every Monday.

The Fat Fox is run by Mike Hughes previuosly of The Wine Vaults on Albert Rd., and like The Vaults there's a good selection of real ales, lagers, ciders and Guinness . Good food is also on offer, prepared by the former head chef from the Wine Vaults.
