Description

The Fox, a local pub, presents a divided experience for patrons. While some diners rave about the delicious food, excellent service, and vibrant atmosphere, others lament overcooked dishes, long waits, and subpar ambiance. Complaints include a poorly maintained exterior and inconsistent menu offerings, yet many cherish its spacious garden and the warm hospitality of dedicated staff. The pub shines during special events, like Bonfire Night, providing delightful festivities. With prices averaging £10–30, The Fox remains a gamble—promising memorable meals for some while leaving others looking for better options elsewhere.

Stopped by on Saturday for lunch. Had booked a table but a mix up meant it wasn’t written down. BUT they were great. 12 of us all got food and quickly too. The portions are huge for the price and the food and service was great. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

I’m not one to leave bad reviews, however my experience wasn’t great this is the second time I’ve been here and the foods been awful, dry. Overcooked. I came back recently and the service wasn’t great behind the bar baring in mind it wasn’t busy and we also grabbed some chips and cheesy chips which were coated in oil and burnt. Unfortunately this has cause the rating to be lower , The staff were absolutely lovely and the scenery is amazing. Hopefully we can come back again soon to a nicer experience Many thanks Service: Dine in Meal type: Other Price per person: £20–30 Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5
