We came as a party of x4 this afternoon.Upon walking into the pub , well this had changed tremendously since we had been just prior to covid... nowhere to have a drink as all the tables were seated for diner's. To go in just for a pint... well a no go.And a Sunday roast was what we came for and to be told that at 1.15 pm they had run out of roasts was just awfull.No apologies, just a reply of"mad isn't it that we have run out, in the 20 odd years I've been here ,never happened before!!" The lady was not even wanting to hear what we had to say , just wanted us to pay and go. It just went over her head,soo blasé! One if our party has a walking aid and was getting knocked into left right and center,so not a disable friendly place.Shall not be returningWheelchair accessibility: Not atall good

We had a table booked for 4 people on Sunday at 2.15 pm. We checked in at around 1.45 pm. Bought drinks at bar, awaiting our table. No where to sit, so as I use walking aids we sat outside for 15 mins as I was getting pushed & shoved in bar. When we went back inside & asked if our table was ready we were told it was given to someone else (who'd booked for 2.30pm) as they couldn't find us! It was only 2.05 pm at this point.We were told no Sunday roasts left! They'd actually ran out at 1.15pm (they start food at 12!). A nice Sunday roast is what we came out for to celebrate our birthdays.The only food available was that on the specials boards. But we were told they had plenty of roast potatoes which we could have with anything ?.Our food was nice, but not at all what we'd come out for. To be honest, for what was on the specials boards & the prices charged, I would have gone some place else (One of the deserts & meals had both gone off the board by the time we'd left).So, we just had one drink each & main meal & left. Upon leaving I asked why at the least there was not a sign on the chalk board outside stating "no Sunday roasts left" - I was told "I have no time to do that!" I also queried the fact that our table had initially been given to others that had booked for 2.30?!Nothing of what I'd said was taken in - it all just went right over the ladies head - she was not bothered or interested in listening.Apparently they'd never ran out of roasts like that before!Needless to say - four very disappointed customers whom will not be returning after that experience.Also, it is not a disabled friendly pub.

Lovely Sunday roast. Roast lamb and 5 veg, lots of gravy. Good portion and nice and hot.The crumble I had to send back as it was not cooked but a replacement was soon brought back and was hot and delicious.

Outstanding British Pub atmosphere and staff making it as pleasant as they can. Food choices are very wide with specials too. All very big which is not to everyone's liking. They welcomed starter and pudding served as main and pudding without fuss. Busy and popular so best to book ahead IMO. If I were to change anything it would be more padding on the chairs... Well done to team and will go again.

Since my last visit before lockdown they have changed from ordering at the bar to ordering at the table. I think it is more sophisticated to be waited on from start to finish, not that there are any pretentions here at the Fox. The atmosphere is always very friendly between customers and the whole evening felt like we were regulars. I had chosen The Fox for dinner with a friend and the menu was as tempting as ever with a wide selection of "Specials", but my recommendation was the The Homemade Sussex Smokie 'Au Gratin', being a local dish. We both ordered and it came beautifully presented by the charming young waitress. I had intended to prioritize the Smokie to leave room for dessert. I failed and we both cleared our plates. We had decided to share one dessert but were spoiled by a delicious choice. Our decision was to return very soon and we decided on Summer Fruits Pavlova. Words fail me: it was unbelievable! If I were forced to make any criticism, it is that the closing time is too early but with the current economic situation, nowhere can afford to stay open on the off-chance that people will continue drink and eat. I will be returning very soon. The only reason for my long absence is I hadn't noticed that my social life had been dormant since lockdown. An evening at the Fox is a great reminder of what I have been missing. Many thanks to all the staff for a fabulous evening.
