Been drinking in this pub for years now, always a great atmosphere, bar staff are helpful, and new landlady has turned this pub to the best one around.

Hadn’t been to my local for a while.. I got persuaded to go there for the new year and was told that Dona and her partner had taken it on, known them both for years and they had always been polite to me so I thought yeah why not (I hadnt been out for Xmas or new years for a long time) all I can say is I am so glad I went there!! I kept myself to myself for so long it really lifted my spirits!! My friends who I grew up with were there and people who I met for the first time and it was amazing!! What a wonderful atmosphere!! Thanks guys for a wonderful evening and night!! Good music plenty of room for a boogie and a good laugh

I stopped in the cross foxes on the way home because I was waiting on my bus. When I walked in, it seemed very friendly and an everyone-knows-everyone kinda thing. The barman saved me some money by up selling me. Three Budweiser's for £9.50 whereas it would've worked out more expensive for just the one. So props to Dan for the banter and the good vibes.

Called in to see friends, was pleasenty surprised, The Cross Foxes has just had a decor refurbished, both inside and out, the bar is nearly a 360 degree open plan, one big L shaped, but the room is sectioned off in a open plan room, confusing you might think, one portion is clearly a Snug the tap in the middle & then the games room, pool table, juke box, The Foxes seems to cater for the locals, I'm sure if hot drinks & small snacks the local Train Station commuters would be attracted to this Establishment, all in all everyone seemed friendly, it was absent of a local youth gathering which surprised me because of the Games room. I believe the landlord is relatively new & he's done a great job on the look & feel in general of the Foxes but also is quite selective of his clientele. Would visit again. Felt relaxed, safe, no rowdiness that the Foxes as had a reputation of in the past.....

We were looking for somewhere a bit special for the night after Valentines Day. I'd recently requested a sample dinner menu from the Royalist menu which looked as though it would suit us nicely. I made an online booking and we therefore had no idea we'd be treated to the most amazing Valentine's tasting menu! The food was absolutely outstanding with exceptional presentation, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The staff were efficient and friendly and we had the most enjoyable evening. We'd thoroughly recommend the experience.

We had a birthday afternoon tea here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Being February and miserable weather, we had the place to ourselves but the staff had gone to a lot of effort - decorating the birthday girl's table with birthday confetti. Nice and cosy inside. The food was very good - nice selection of sandwiches - what I would call sensible fillings like cheese and chutney, ham and tomato, tuna mayo, and egg. Our only comment would be to include a few more of the tuna and egg ones as there were quite a few of the ham and tomato which for our group was the least popular flavour. A selection of four different cakes - carrot, victoria sponge, chocolate and a very good syrupy flapjack. Small pieces but we liked that as you could have a bit of everything without feeling like you were going to explode! Very fresh and tasty. Finally cream scones - and yay - proper clotted cream! My son has a lot of allergies so chose a baked potato off the main menu. The staff were very helpful at the booking stage sorting out his meal and he enjoyed it. Am sure it must be lovely in summer time with all the plants and being able to sit outside - will definitely come back again.
