We were recommend this pub whilst we were staying in the area and all I can say is that I am very disappointed. As soon as we walked in we felt unwelcome and uncomfortable. We sat down for 15 minutes waiting to be served to no avail. The waitress seemed to check on the other tables around us but ignored us when we tried to order. We ended up leaving without ordering anything and going to a different pub.

A few regulars standing along the bar when we arrived, none of whom were very friendly, neither was the lady behind the bar. Shame as it is meant to be a good pub, but has put me off visiting again.Can't comment on food, although I believe it is meant to be good.

Avoid if you are going out as a family. Was warned by someone that they might as well have signs up saying no kids allowed but thought they were exaggerating. Turns out they weren't. Arrived with our 2 kids to a cosy pub with plenty of tables but were immediately directed to the 'family room' (aka a chillier little room out the back by the loos with no atmosphere, 1 table and a high chair). This is not what we're looking for in a pub. Didn't feel welcome at all. We left straight away. Main pub looked lovely if you are in the target market - old people who don't want to be around children - but look elsewhere if want a meal or a drink with your family.Kid-friendliness: Not welcoming for families with kids!

Booked for 6 in advance for my Mothers 85th birthday. Arrived in good time, 2 people at the bar and as we were ordering another 10/12 people came in behind us. They served everyone in the pub before us and after waiting over an hour we're told there was no beef one lot of chicken and 2 lamb. Dessert was just as bad, most options had vanilla ice cream to accompany them but they had none left. It felt like a click of locals, felt uncomfortable like we were intruding. Very poor service, disorganised food not all that, no apology so upset I couldn't speak. Needless to say will not be returning.Kid-friendliness: Kids are a no no here. Not welcomed at all, even though they are well behaved.

My first visit with a long time friend. We were going elsewhere but couldn't get in. My friend said we should go to the Fox. No regrets was well worth the visit. Lovely food. Owner was very friendly and welcoming. Service was delightful and efficient. I have no reservations in highly recommending the

We had barely stepped in the door when we were turfed out by a local because they don't allow dogs!What country pub doesn't allow dogs?!Not very impressed
Second visit here and very impressed by the quality and range of food. Two of us had Steak and Ale pie which had the excellent vote. The other two had the tuna steaks which also were rated excellent. A very buzzy pub with a great range of beer and friendly and helpful staff. One suggestion I would like to make is as follows: The bar area was very crowded and the food ordering section at the end had people perched on stools rather blocking and impeding ordering. You had to rather shout over them to order the meals which is not great for either party. Could this small area be kept clear of stools and people ‘propping up the bar’ so that food ordering is easier for both customers and Staff ? This isn’t a complaint we had a super evening of great food and drink, see you soon.

Had a pint here last year. Friendly staff and good beer. Came for Sunday lunch today. Wow. Really good. Decent portion sizes and very tasty.

Another brilliant Sunday roast. Yorkshire puddings “to die for” large, light and so crispy. Followed by delicious home made mixed fruit crumble. Absolutely excellent.
