Absolutely rubbish. Food, terrible. Service, non existent. Atmosphere, depressing.

I left Riseley 50 years ago and it was lovely to be back, a warm welcome at The Fox and Hounds, great atmosphere, staff and a fantastic choice of vegan food.They even gave me an early birthday chocolate brownie.Hopefully not 50 years until next time.Dietary restrictions: Great vegan choices

Had a lovely meal there after phoning to see if a table for two was available when our normal local was full. Pub was nicely busy, service was great and the shared nachos starter was stunning (think they must be home made as random triangles!).

A delicious Christmas Dinner with friends. Positives: Ambience: a friendly and festive atmosphere. Restaurant furnishings: The Fox has been tastefully refurbished: cream shades combined with natural wood furniture to complement the history of the building. Table arrangements: Pleasing to see that the management have placed tables to ensure plenty of space around each table which creates a spacious and feeling of privacy combined with a sense of exclusivity. Pool / snooker table + Art Gallery area: Perfect area for those who like a game of pool/snooker in an area set aside from the restaurant. Also, this is more inclusive and should encourage younger residents of the North Bedfordshire area to visit The Fox. Excellent idea to create an art gallery on the adjacent wall displaying creative works from local artists. Bar/lounge area: Cosy and spacious area to relax before dining. Table décor: Tables tastefully decorated: contemporary with a hint of nostalgic Christmas/festive silver, golds, greens and red decorations. Food: Delicious Christmas / Festive Menu, examples below: Starter: Prawn Cocktail with brown bread accompaniment - plenty of prawns (chilled, which shows correct storage conditions for fish dishes) with salad garnish, perhaps slightly less prawn mayonnaise sauce would balance the proportions of this starter. Salmon parcels with salad and bread accompaniment - delicious salmon flavours. Mains: Turkey breast / stuffing rolls, roast potatoes and roast parsnips; vegetable trays for 2 people to share: selection of green beans, sliced carrots and broccoli. All served with gravy on hot plates. This hearty main dish tasted like the very best home-cooked food... a large portion too, with all food served piping hot, as it should be in the very best of restaurants. Perhaps, a consideration for management would be to offer the gravy as an option in a gravy boat on the table, to allow customers to pour the gravy according to their personal requirements. Vegetarian - delicious and flavoursome Nut Roast. Desserts: Classic Cheesecake with fruit/compote trimmings - superb end to the meal, and a generous portion, too! Management: hold on to your chef/kitchen staff - they truly know how to cook and deliver an excellent plate of food. :-) Waiting staff: Courteous and attentive at all times; keeping customers informed of when courses would be ready for serving and timely service of drinks orders. Pleasing to know that The Fox are employing and training local staff (such as Sharnbrook Upper pupils/students) to high hospitality standards and wearing a 'waiting uniform', as in previous years; this demonstrates a level of professionalism by the management and that they value their clientele. Christmas Cheer: during our meal, the diners and those who popped in to The Fox for a drink or game of pool were treated to local carol singers singing classic Christmas carols - the perfect surprise treat to accompany our Christmas evening. Overall, a wonderful Christmas occasion: delicious food and generous portions combined with a warm welcome. Would definitely recommend booking a meal here for that special occasion and after many years of mismanagement - we can now say: The Fox is back in business, so book now before the waiting list returns! Many thanks to the waiting, bar and kitchen staff for a wonderful evening; we'll return to taste your Spring/Summer menu!

Went in with friends who live in the village and who recommended it. Very appealing menu, so much to choose from. The six of us had a variety of mains from sea bass to macaroni cheese and all were well presented and hot. Couldn’t fault the food or service.
