The place showed great promise.... And then the food came out.Very appetising descriptions but failed to meet in a big way.The fake-steak grill was horrible and the charred cabbage on the pork belly "interesting"...The new menu needs considerable work.However the staff managed it very well but probably a "no" for going again.

Positioning itself as a mid-range family restaurant, The Fox achieves its objectives extremely well. I have watched the evolution of this place over the last half century - from being a simple Davenports boozer to where it is now - and it has been through many peaks and troughs. Right now they seem to be getting it spot on. The food was excellent - the squid starter could easily pass in a far more expensive restaurant and the sausage and mash main was Gastro Pub food at its best. I was looked after superbly well by Lily and Kate. The place has a decent ambience and the music was unintrusive. I was on my own at lunchtime for this one, but intend to return with my wife and maybe more of the extended family soon. Who ever is Landlord now, long may they remain, because this place is always dependant on those in charge. Thanks to all at The Fox for a splendid lunch! I strongly recommend it.

Had to wait almost an hour for our food, despite going early for lunch so it wasn't busy - with two kids that's really pushing it. And they even bought out the adult meals first! There were literally tears shed. The food was meh. Don't bother with the veggie grill - it's uninspired and overpriced. Oh, and the lady who greeted us was so miserable it was almost funny. I don't think we'll be back, which is a shame as we're just down the road.

We went for the Burns Night Supper; we had an excellent meal and the service by Charlie was most attentive. All in all a very pleasant experience and we will definitely go again

Went to the Bransford Inn with my family and had a wonderful time! Atmosphere was very friendly and the staff were all super kind and helpful, especially our waitress Amelie who was absolutely brilliant and made us feel very welcome :)

Really lovely restaurant which is warm and clean, lovely open fires and the bar is dog friendly which was great for us! Stopped by after a very wet walk so it was lovekly to walk in and find it so warm. We only had starters and a sharing board so cannot comment on the main meals, the starters and chef board was superb! Perfect portions to fill us up enough to continue our walk! We would definitely stop by again if we happen to be in the area.

Birthday dinner for a family member, we had a mixture of meals from the standard menu and specials and we're happy with all, the duck was beautiful! Service attentive but not intrusive. Very nice and welcoming atmosphere and the restaurant was clean with modern decor,
