Good meal with family, very busy in the main dining hall so it was very noisy. Staff were excellent and we all enjoyed our meals overall. I thought my burger was rather small for the price and the fish pie was lacking in fish somewhat. The starters were all excellent and the gammon,egg,chips was really good.

Lovely pub with delicious food set in a super location! I recommend the coffee and the fish pie!

We had roast beef with vegetables but my portion of beef was very tough and sinuey. I had asked for mine to be thinly cut but was handed one of the 4 portions without any recognition of my request.Difficult to cut through with the standard knife available. I complained about the meat and the waitress said it comes in to the kitchen already sliced. That suggests it is not necessarily cooked as a whole side of beef which if true is disappointing. The cost of the two portions was fully refunded and when asked what future offerings would be like was told that alternative supplies or suppliers would be investigated. Very disappointed. We have been coming here for many years but the standards of their food offerings have gone down in my opinion while prices have increased.

Met up with family for a Christmas lunch (although we didn't have the Christmas menu). Great service, nice restaurant and a friendly atmosphere.Food & drinks: The food was well cooked and everyone enjoyed their meal. The deserts were lovely and a little bit different. The only thing not quite spot on was the calamari as it was a bit over cooked.

Had the fish pie, and it was honestly amazing. Service was good and the decorations are lovely.Atmosphere was like an old people's home and a bit of a let down.

Excellent food and service, before going I was worried it wouldn't feel value for money but the chefs are clearly skilled and the produce is of excellent quality that I thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal and would love to return! Nice ambience in the restaurant, and the staff are all welcoming and friendly.

Went with a group of friends for Sunday roast, all of the meals were great, especially the creamed horseradish leeks with the beef. Desserts were excellent and the drinks selection is always good. Staff are friendly and accommodating and the vibe in the restaurant and outdoor patio area is always nice. Would recommend for food or even just drinks!

The Fox has a wonderful restaurant. The food is always amazing (taste / quality etc) and the staff always attentive. I would certainly recommend for couples / family meals. My wife and I have visited many times over the years, and continue to enjoy eating at the Fox.

Disappointed on a family meal, cling film in one of the starters (croquettes) and the other was cold. It took 20mins before we had our first drinks arrived…the staff were nice but clearly overstretched.I would’ve expected a gesture on the whopping bill but they only removed the starters that weren’t fit for consumption.It’s way overpriced for the experience.
We took my 81 year old Dad and Mum for his birthday. Party of 6 plus two children for Sunday lunch. Disappointing is the best way to sum it up. We all arrived on time and seated straight away. Ordering first round of drinks was efficient and ordering starters/ mains. The starters arrived in good time and were enjoyed. Then we just sat there and waited. Had to flag down a waitress to get us another drink for those needing and then carried on waiting for the main course to arrive. When it did after an hour and 20 minutes having been seated the adults were all served theirs even though we asked for the children to get theirs asap. The risotto and fish mains was thoroughly enjoyed but for the 4 of us having the roast we were disappointed. The veg and gravy was beyond delicious but seriously let down with very chewy roast beef. We even struggled cutting it with the very blunt knives supplied and no offer of a steak knife. Not that it would of helped and once in mouth it ensured a bit of a work out. Throughout the meal we were never asked if everything ok and if any further drinks required. Mains completed we were brought dessert menu's which we decided against, and once when relayed to the waitress we were told we needed to leave within 10 minutes due to our table being needed for next guests - so we wouldn't in their timescales had time for a dessert anyway. Such a shame and used to be wonderful, will stick to the bar food from now on.

We were a group of 16 but were seated in the conservatory so were able to chat easily. Food was delicious and and children’s portions were generous (children were from 6 - 14). Staff very helpful and attentive despite being in an area slightly secluded from the main dining area. Wonderful birthday celebration.

It seems to me that a number of restaurants today pride themselves on what I would term “Twee” or boutique cuisine. For instance truffle peas with fish and chips. The taste of the truffle completely destroyed the taste of the fish. Why it is not possible just to have peas whether mushy or normal is beyond me. The reason I mentioned fish and chips is because it was the only item on the menu which I or my wife and friends had an inclination to eat. Only a few years ago this restaurant was superb with an excellent menu and was the place to go whether for special occasions or for just a lovely meal. Why these modern day chefs or owners think we want all this Twee and nonsensical fancy food is beyond me. I have to say this is not the only restaurant which falls into this realm. I have attended this place twice now,but I do not think the visit will be repeated.

This a great venue anytime throughout the year with lovely gardens and a lovely contemporary lounge and restaurant. Situated in a pretty village this pub/restaurant has a great atmosphere, friendly staff even dog friendly and wonderful food!!

The Fox is a little pricey but the food is good so the place is worth visiting. ?We had the calamari starter, the Sunday roast (beef), and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. All the food was fresh and delicious although it took a while to be served. One waitress let us know that one of our dishes was coming soon which was nice, but we wish they would’ve taken care of us a little better instead of having just about everybody who works there show up at least once at our table.Overall everything was fine and we enjoyed the dinner as well as the atmosphere there. I’d definitely eat at the Fox again. ;)
