The French Fox, Brodick
A French takeaway in Brodick, which began in a vintage van and now cooks from One Auchrannie Road, with confit, moules and tartiflette.
Welcome
The French Fox began life as a pale blue vintage van, serving French food around Arran from its hatch.
Visited and photographed by Simon Hird
It has since settled down at One Auchrannie Road in Brodick, where it cooks the same kind of food from a takeaway kitchen.
The menu is contemporary French, made with local produce: confit de boeuf, poulet a la provencale, moules marinieres and tartiflette, alongside croques, French toast and desserts. There are no bookings or pre-orders; it is first come, first served, with a little seating outside, and you can bring your own bottle.
The French Fox opens from Wednesday to Sunday, at lunchtime and in the evening on different days, and closes for the season at the end of October. Check the hours on its website before you go.
