Reviews summary

The Fox Reformed presents itself as a cozy local eatery with its charming decor, lovely outdoor garden, and enjoyable game options like chess and backgammon. While many patrons rave about the delicious steak and excellent wine selection, others cite inconsistency in the menu, particularly with the Sunday roasts. Complaints about oddly flavored dishes and inadequate portion sizes have surfaced, alongside mixed reviews on service quality. Despite these discrepancies, the ambiance and welcoming staff create a pleasant dining experience, making it a noteworthy alternative to local gastro pubs, although some may hesitate to return frequently.

Was Sofie Moll at Fox Reformed a mag?

I recently visited The Fox after many years and had a wonderful experience. My companion and I both enjoyed perfectly cooked steaks with salad and chips. The Shiraz wine we had was excellent, and the service was top-notch. The young, courteous staff were attentive and had an old-school approach, which was refreshing to see.

What alanandcolby dislikes about Fox Reformed:

This was our 3rd visit, not one of regular sunday roast venues but thought we would give it a go. Do I regret it ? no. Was it strange ? yes. We opted for the veggie roast, what came to our table was as I sad odd. The gravy was curried.....and I mean very curried........4hours later i can still taste it. Funny really as we nearly went for an indian. The food was acceptable but nothing special.The desserts we had, brul... View all feedback.

Do yourself a favour and visit this Stoke Newington gem. Great independent wine bar, unpretentious, friendly, delicious value for money food with a perfect little outdoor area for catching some sunshine!

My favourite spot on Church Street. The Garden is a lovely little oasis and the steaks are perfect. They have a great wine list too

We look forward to making The Fox a regular dining spot, especially since we live nearby.

Food midweek is excellent but have never been at weekends when the menu is quite different. Needless to say, lovely wines. Less obviously, the place is run by and frequented by some very nice, interesting people indeed.

Funny really as we nearly went for an indian. The food was acceptable but nothing special.The desserts we had, brulee (undercooked) and cheesecake covered in cocca powder (it was a lemon cheesecake) were just ok.Service was acceptable, but the experienced sligtly tainted by a very loud couple who engaged the staff in a very loud conversation about paris and the french. Both not a patch on cyprus apparently. Will we go back........probably not for a while but I am glad its there,

This is a great resturant/bar. they're making a great steak, plus specials on the board. on the front you can play chess or backgammon, while a drink there is a beer garden at the very rear. the art is also on the display that is for sale. a transparent experience as a whole.

They make great steak chips. but apart from that, the rest of the menu is very hit and miss (and above all miss). Okay, weeping list. also desperate in need if a make-over and a training for a griny servier staff.

Warm rolling with a hauch of aniseed (so french), offer the accompaniment to some of the best meal I have eaten in stoke newington and actually, I have eaten most of these best meal times in the foxed reformed.
