Everyone's food looked amazing! The Earl Grey tea with cream and sugar sounds interesting. It's also cool to see that adults can order from the kids menu, but the fish and chips would be a must here. I (Brent) formerly taught World History, U.S. Government, and Sociology for 10 years so I really appreciated you covering some of the historical and cultural aspects of the restaurant as well. Excellent video!
Eric, Thank you for sharing that at the end, That was very interesting, Yes the Food looks Great, I would try it there, Thank you again, Hugs n Love to you all.
I like try fish and chips nice review on the place here and enjoyed watching your experience and thanks for mention the displays that they had and the history part behind it
Food looked really good.I will go there on our next visits far as the history,well history is just that..History.You go there for the food not a history lesson.Everything you see there is in history books/school museums and internet.Thanks for the Great video.Have a great day my smokie mountain family
Hey SM Family! As always your vlogs/videos are the best! No exceptions! I would love to visit the Fox&Parrot Tavern on our next vacation! I enjoy learning about history of America, and 🇬🇧 Britain! Mature adults should embrace the good, the bad, and the ugly history, and learn from it!!! Job well done!!! Family! You all look wonderful as always! Your friend him Fowler👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏❤️❤️!!
Another fun video and a new place to add to the list. We really appreciated the commentary at the end as well, seeing the noose outside the pub would definitely have given us pause without the full context, but I can still see how many would see it as unnecessary and problematic.
Love that cheese dip! My wife and I have been frequenting here for years especially now that we live close bye. The Parrot wings are delicious too as is the fish n chips. Their other restaurant, “The Rampant Lion” is also great! Your server, Libby, is a fixture at the F&P. We love her and always sit at the bar so we can visit with her. The owner is very versed in the history of Britain. We have had some great conversations over the years.
Rule Britannia! We had forgotten about this place. When we went there, it had been raining, and those step were really slick! Thanks for the trip, and ❤️to all of you! Hope to see you early to mid October!.
Guess who is back lol. Took some time off to some channel got bad sick for over a year and my tablet tore up Great review on this for sure. Take care. Stay safe.
What a coincidence! I had a pasty for lunch today! I live in northern Michigan, and pasties are a thing up here, but even more so in the U.P.! They are delicious!
Some people don’t care about history, they know what they are told to be offended by, by the very political party that oppressed them and fought to keep them oppressed. Good video as all ways
When the video first started I thought this was a B&B looks so amazing inside with all the memorabilia. Those signs had me lmfao and those mugs are back from the old country. How was the tea it looked like you guys didn't care for it, but that fish looked so good. I'm going to have to check this place out once we go back in June. I love how you guys mentioned it but did not show it, because people get so offended by things nowadays. I love how the girls didn't want to leave lol.
Looks like I need to put this on the priority list. I can understand the concern someone might have for visiting based on these visuals, and you are doing a good thing by warning people. Thanks for doing this review. The fish and chips looks like a fantastic choice when we do visit!
@@SmokyMountainFamily I stayed in a cabin out that way, and stumbled on this hidden gem. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I would assume it's great as well. I know the food is. ;-)
Need to go there. Love British food. That noise was kind of eerie. Did it really need to be added to the decor? Doesent seem to be necessary. Well thanks Guys the food seemed awsome
Wonderful video! I’ve drank hot tea all my life. I put just a teaspoon of sugar and a bit of milk in mine. Every morning! Love you guys! Blessings from Birmingham 💙
It was awesome we talked about that on the way home. We were used to taking home big portions and we didn’t have that here but left full maybe that’s how they keep the price down
I drink my tea with milk and honey. I love hot tea it has so many health benefits. If I don’t have milk just a splash I just use honey. That fish looked so good.
The following is not the comments of the poster but his British wife(lol) The proper way of tea is that they should pour the boiling water over the tea bags in the tea pot before serving. Next, Rae says that gravy is suppose to come with the Pasty. Lastily, she is not familiar with any pubs with a noose attached to the building, usually they were stand alone structures, so the placement of this here is not proper. My turn now. I agree with the noose comment yet the place looked very nice and food very good. Thank you for adding the last piece of the video, i think it was an important addition. One point, i do not believe in any way, shape or form that this display was meant to disrespect anyone and only added as a part of British history. Thanks family.
Thank you so much Rae. We also believe the display was placed on account of British history. We thought it was important to make this distinction. One example of a London pub with a similar display we found when researching was a place called Prospect of Whitby in the Wapping/Limestone area. At any rate, thank for the info and as always, thanks for watching!
Great job, guys ! This is a place I’ve not seen reviewed before. The food looked good , especially the meat - pie type thing. Thank you for the historical explanation. I didn’t even notice anything , but maybe it wasn’t in the video ? Do you know if the owners/ cook are actually from the UK ?
The Cornish pasty was a traditional lunch for the miners in Cornwall. The thick crust around the hand pie allowed them to hold it by the edge to eat, since their hands were dirty from work. A very tasty treat for us, born out of necessity. Cheers.
Have you ever heard of a restaurant in Townsend call Abby’s. I guess it use to be a church and wedding chapel and the converted it to a restaurant?. Just wondering if you knew anything about it. Great video.
Comments from a British person, living in the UK, the authenticity is a very loose interpretation of what British pub (tavern) food should be, that Cornish Pasty should be banned under trade description. As for the noose, there is only one pub I know of in Britain that has one of those outside, and that is the oldest pub in London, dating back to the 1520’s located at the site of public executions of pirates, I would guess that is where the owners of the Fox and Parrot got their inspiration from, miss-interpreting it as something quintessentially British.
Brittany's look amazing but felt it needed gravy but that's American. LOL. That fish looked so light but crunchy. Moving onto the noose, yea, it's a no for me. That would turn off any visitors that are black. Not good. Maybe they don't realize it? Everyone I've ever come across in TN are so nice so it's kinda hard to believe they would do that on purpose to create division.
Trying to copy the cuisine of other countries is never 100% accurate. Look at any Mexican restaurant or Chinese restaurant and it is very Americanized. I've seen American restaurants in other countries that wasn't exactly what we eat. It's their take on it. My wife and I will have to check it out when we come down in May. Thanks for sharing.
i want to thank you for a great review and i would love to get the fish and chips from their also i thank you for the history i found it to be very informative
@@SmokyMountainFamily i really enjoyed your explanation on the hang mans noose and the history ,i would have never that twice about it but i definitely could see peoples feelings in todays society, i am a italian american and i never realized how many italians were hung in Louisiana back in the day alot of history
Honestly this country did the same thing to people who broke the Law for various crimes back in those days so I really don't see the point of you bringing this up? If you go to a wild west town you will see a Noose Hanging to show how they dealt with crime! To stop the video was wrong and for you to bring up the past was wrong as well! People can decide for themselves if they would have noticed that in the video and they would damn have sure seen it when they went there so why did you feel the need to get involved in it and possibly cost that Business Customers? Remember you guys are Food Reviewers not Politicians and just stick to that please!!
Thanks for your take Layton. Our reasoning had nothing to do with politics. Our intent was to show that the display of the gallows had a historical significance in British history that is completely disconnected from how many may see it here in the states. We stated many times in the video that the food, experience and service was some of the best we’ve had in the area. If someone goes to this restaurant off our recommendation and seen this without the knowledge of its connection to British history they would likely be taken aback by it. We thought addressing it would be better for the business than worse. But again thanks for your take and for watching.
As to be expected, I personally found the gallows as very off-putting. Gatlinburg is a touristy town and even though that’s a part of British and even American history it probably shouldn’t be on prominent display. The owners I’m sure are not concerned with earning the dollar from those who would be offended by it. In my opinion, and I could be wrong, most times these sort of things are used as a double entendre.
This is exactly why we mentioned it. Even though it could be solely intended for its reference to British history, certain patrons could see it differently. We wouldn’t have wanted to promote this place, and have someone see it through this lens due to our recommendation without this caveat. We wanted to put include the information both for the sake of the restaurant, and our viewers, in hopes of doing right by both. On another note, love the use of entendre. Are you by any chance a Jay-Z fan? Lol.
The disclosure thing really has to go guys its terribly stupid cmon..... It like ruins ur whole video smh. Why would anyone need a discloser for a video on food its just dumb please dont do that again....
Thanks for sharing. Looked good!
Thanks for watching the food was out of this world

What a coincidence! I had a pasty for lunch today! I live in northern Michigan, and pasties are a thing up here, but even more so in the U.P.! They are delicious!

We loved this place. Best Fish & Chips I ever had, and the Reuben Sandwich was great as well. ;-)
I almost got that!!
@@SmokyMountainFamily I stayed in a cabin out that way, and stumbled on this hidden gem. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I would assume it's great as well. I know the food is. ;-)
I think the Rampant Lion is a sister pub to Fox and Parrot. Have you been there? We were thinking of trying Rampant Lion when we come later this year.
We haven’t but definitely in the list
Great review. Appreciate the acknowledgement of the elephant in the room. Context is everything. Acknowledge history, but don't celebrate it.
Thanks Bobby boy
Need to go there. Love British food. That noise was kind of eerie. Did it really need to be added to the decor? Doesent seem to be necessary. Well thanks Guys the food seemed awsome

It’s on the Arts and Crafts loop in Gatlinburg. Glades road.
