The Fox Goose is ideally situated either at the start or finish of a circular walk. We were recommended to the Fox Goose by our hosts who suggested that they offer a wonderful sunday lunch. We were not disappointed it was amazing both the meat and nut roast options. I think a very fair price for the portion size and quality and my wife even squeezed in a porion of Christmas pudding. The decor is very modern and the restaurant was fully booked at lunchtime so make sure you prebook. The only suggestions would be that it could be a little warmer inside (Not the food) not sure if there is an open fire that they could light. In additional we found it very quiet and it could really do with some soft background music as the atmosphere was a little flat. All in all an excellent find and we would certainly recommend and hope to return when we are back in the area in Nov

From the utside this is an unprepossessing and down-at-heel country put where the only food on offer would be a bag of crisps. The inside is a transformation though: clean, modern and with an extensive menu. Amd what a menu: at least four types of fish and meat, starters and sharers in abundance and even more than the usual one vegetarian option. Enough desserts to satisfy any craving. The menu descriptions were good and what we saw coming out made us want to try all of it. We visited twice and worked our way through the venison, the duck, and the fish (skate) as mains and the Camembert and the smoked fish starters and the chocolate dessert. All were first class: well cooked, generous portions and, with the mains, plenty of vegetables. The potatoes we found particularly good. Service was speedy but not rushed and staff excellent. The beer was good and well-kept. Prices were very reasonable we thought: about for two. Downsides? None really, except that it's off-the-beaten track. But don't let this put you off: find this lovely little pub, enjoy the menu and go home feeling replete and contented. We did. Twice.

Bathroom was very spacious and modern. Staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The breakfast was exceptional. We are here for dinner too both nights.

The venison stood out as the best I have ever had, with large, tender fillets. The menu was extensive and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely dine there again.
