Traditional pub plus restaurant with really nice friendly owners. Food great quality as the pub is owned by a traditional Newbury butcher.I come here a lot. Nice owners, nice customers, nice prices.One complaint. Today we visited at 12:30. Pretty busy. Waited to be served at the bar for 15 minutes. Three bar staff. Instead of serving those who were at the bar first they just served whoever was standing in front of them. None of the staff looked around the bar to see who was first. In fact none of the three staff even cought my eye or noticed us waiting.First rule of bartending... LOOK around and mentally note who is next. And NEVER say "who's next?". As a landlord of 26 years, may I suggest the owner gives the staff some training.Anyway we left after 15 minutes and went to a pub that provided better service.

We had the Rump Steak, it was superb, I couldn't fault it, one of the best that I have had.

We went to the Fox and Hounds pub recently for a large family meal the night before our wedding. They were very accommodating to a large group, and the food was very good. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend this pub!

We visited with 5 adults and 2 children. Good pub food with an extensive wholesome menu for all ages. There is also a specials board. Friendly and attentive staff, especially the manager. The atmosphere was relaxed and the food and drinks came out fast. We had a little issue with one of our meals and they apologised, then sorted it out quickly and efficiently. Sign of a professional business. The club sandwich, superfood salad, and sticky toffee pudding were delicious. I would definitely recommend it to my nearest and dearest and would visit again. Thanks for a nice experience Fox and Hound!Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu and food was freshly prepared.

Just a casual visit while passing through.Staff were lovely, as was the atmosphere.But i felt my haddock promised more than it delivered for the money.And a pet hate of mine is the fish piled on top of the chips, I like to have the fish flat, so I can cut it, but that's my preference.
