The Fox And Hounds - Mid Suffolk

Last Saturday, a group of six of us came for lunch at this restaurant. We usually dine out in Bury St Edmunds, but have been disappointed with the food and service there recently. Therefore, we decided to travel further out to see if we could find better options. Luckily, we were not disappointed! The Chilli Nachos were a hit at our table, and I was able to swap the rice in my curry for chips. The steak was cooked well and tender. The portion of profiteroles for dessert was huge, and the ice cream was delicious with just two scoops. The menu online was extensive and there were also many specials available on a board. The service was excellent too, so thank you. We will definitely be returning next time we are in the area.

We popped in her on the way to Market Western, when the original pub we aimed for turned out to be fully booked. Whoops. So glad it was though, as this was a stoke of good luck. We were struggling as we have a couple of dogs with us, with one being a rather large greyhound. This pub had plenty of space and we're happy to host us all. The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. So much so, we came back a second time for lunch.

The excellent ales here have always been a draw, but the food less so. Our welcome was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff, but the (somewhat battered) menus a specials board offered a basic selection. The actual food was disappointing, with quantity replacing quality a huge portion of chips doesn 't make up for bland food. Our vege 'not chicken ' burger had no flavour at all, and with no dressing (ie in a dry bun) was uninspiring, even with a pile of shredded lettuce. Our prawn salad was similar, with an ample portion of prawns and a giant portion of lettuce, but not much else. Overall this venue offers basic pub grub at modest prices, but the lack of imagination in the kitchen lets it down...

New to the area we visited the pub for lunch and we were not disappointed, we were welcomed by the manager, she made our children feel comfortable with the new surroundings which made all the difference to our stay, a good variety of food to choose from and the portion sizes were beyond belief for the price, great value for money. we felt valued as customers and never forgotten about. we will definitely be making this a more regular place to visit for great service and quality food.

Our group frequently visits the Fox and Hounds. When we showed up on a busy Saturday night, we were pleasantly surprised to find the pub packed and didn't expect to be able to eat. However, the manager was exceptional. She went out of her way to accommodate us, which we truly appreciated. Despite the hustle and bustle, it was evident that her main focus was ensuring every customer was happy and well taken care of. The food was exactly what we were looking for, and the portions were incredibly generous. I couldn't find a single flaw in the atmosphere, drink selection, or service. The pub is a friendly and welcoming addition to the village.
