Ego at The Fox Cub, Little Hoole in South Ribble

Really lovely meal ..as always .. Good service Dog friendly a bonus ..Thank you.

We have been a few times now and the service has been really slow. At the last couple of times they have made errors with our order. We asked for a medium rare steak and we got a well done steak. When we mentioned about something else that went wrong the waitress was not apologetic and had lost all friendliness. 😢

First time visit had a steak , beautifully cooked from the lunch menu and my daughter had cod with mushroom risotto off the a-la-carte menu also very nicely done. The surroundings were very cosy and lovely and warm with excellent service from the staff. We certainly will be coming again, very busy at lunch time on a grey miserable day outside.

My partner and myself booked a table for 3.30 on a Wednesday. Once arriving we were informed of an offer for 2 courses for 2 people for £40. My partner informed the waiting staff that she needed gluten-free and we were informed that this was not a problem. We ordered drinks straight away (lager shandy and large white wine). Unfortunately there was no labelling for gluten free so my partner had to ask. Waiting staff then had to go and ask the kitchen. (This is no concern as I'd rather be 100% sure) We ordered a prawn starter and a gluten free paté. For some reason the prawns were brought to the table by themselves and we waited a few minutes for the paté. No explanation for why they came separate. It literally felt like food was just dumped at the table with no real care. Portion sizes were okay. Paté was smaller than expected but my partner enjoyed it. 7 king prawns which I found good. Only complaint is that there was far too much chilli for my taste and prawns were slightly overcooked. We did not receive a check back during the starter. At no point did any staff even ask if we would like a drink. We finished starters and waited approximately 5 minutes for table to be cleared. We were them asked if we would like another drink. Still noone asked about the food. We both ordered steaks (1 blue, 1 medium rare) both with garlic butter. These arrived in good time. The blue steak was cooked more than the medium rare. We continued to eat as at this point we realised that staff were too busy talking between themselves instead of ensuring customers were happy. We received one check back as we were almost finished. Steak was okay but over cooked. Chips were standard, onion rings were very greasy. We decided to stay for a dessert as we don't get to eat our often. Server took our order and again received in good time. Again no check back. We could hear staff talking between themselves from around the corner from our table. Nothing obscene but still unprofessional. We then waited for almost 10 minutes for our table to be cleared. We asked for the bill and paid up. Women did not ask how anything was and appeared very uninterested. Overall food was okay but service was appalling. For the price I wish we had gone elsewhere as I've had better service at chain microwave pubs Just to update, my partner started with diarrhoea about 2 hours ago and I have just started with the same. The only thing we have eaten today is from this restaurant. I expect a response as soon as possible

Brilliant and many thanks for accommodating us we had a wonderful relaxing day with great food and drinks ,and it might not sound much but going the extra mile and getting a fried egg on my steak, once again many thanks to all the team looking forward to our next visit

Ok so the Sunday roast looked great but failed on the hard roast potatoes. There could of been a bit more greens too it and stuffing. So couple of things missing. It was OK but can get better for cheaper also. The pub and staff are brilliant to be fair. Plenty of parking space and didn't have to reserve a table. I would go back and try there main menu and hope it's just a off day that day. The rest of the food was cooked great and tasty.

Lovely staff and nice setting. The food was nice but would have benefited from some sauce.

Absolutely lovely place. Great options for gluten free. Loved that the bar area is dog friendly. Very child friendly, my daughter had the pizza and she got to put it together herself before it went in the oven, a nice little touch! Great service, will definitely be back.

You have got to try to experience this place. Amazing

Very very good. Highly recommend and a great mid week offer.

Good selection of dishes. The food is delicious and at a reasonable price. The service is excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It has a really good atmosphere.

Steak night was very good value and lovely food cooked to perfection

Plenty of room for a good clean safe meal. Excellent choice of menu. Lovely attentive staff

Wonderful welcome, food excellent, marvellous experience will be visiting again.

First time here for my Birthday and the food was Great and the Service was Fab

This was a lovely evening meal with my mum. The staff were not over attentive,the food was tasty. We booked for 6.30,by 7.30 the volume of noise in the restaurant did become very overwhelming though.

We have started to visit Ego Fox Cub at Little Hoole regularly on a Wednesday evening for the dine out for two deal. This deal is excellent value for money and as a result the restaurant is always full with plenty of atmosphere. The food and service is also great. Really hoping that this deal carries on for the long term.

I took my sisters here for birthday treat on a Monday evening and took advantage of the 2 courses for £20.95. The food was lovely and the staff very attentive and friendly. Unfortunately we only managed 1 photo between the 3 of us.

Fab food and we were looked after very well. It was our wedding and they put a sparkler on my dessert with "Happy anniversary" written in chocolate, made it a special evening x

As usual, experience here was fantastic. My go to place for the excellent vegan menu along with excellent service.

Ideal place to go for a special occasion 😊

Overall impression was a good experience even though the time awaiting the first course was rather extended. Bearing in mind it was quite busy I suppose it was to be expected. The food was well cooked and served hot which is important to us. This was our first visit to EGO I am sure we will be back.

Great restaurant ,great food very friendly staff and all at a very reasonable price will definitely come agai very soon Thankyou

Great location, food is excellent well cooked and perfectly presented. Managment and staff always friendly and helpful. Delightful Sunday lunch however it was a disappointment to find that the Creme Brulee has been taken off the menu

The service was slow even though the restaurant was relatively quiet. We were in the restaurant for 2 hrs 45 mins! When we received our main courses we had no cutlery so had to request more. I also had to request napkins, which never arrived. We also had to chase up drinks on a couple of occasions

The lady who was Front of House went above and beyond to help me retrieve a discount code on my phone - she is always fantastic and such an asset to the business.

A lovely meal made all the better because a young lady noticed my son was struggling with how noisy a party was next to us and offered to move us to a quieter table, which was very much appreciated. We’ll definitely be back soon. Good was fantastic and the staff were lovely.

Had afternoon tea with my daughter. The food selection was good and very tasty. Included cappuccino and speciality teas. Very nice.

Went for the Wednesday £40 deal of two courses and a bottle of wine for two people, it was absolutely phenomenal, everything about it was great, I will definitely be returning

An amazing atmosphere, quality food and excellent service. The ideal place for lunch.

First time we have visited Ego at The Fox Club and we weren't disappointed. Staff were so friendly. Atmosphere was fabulous and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back. Gemma our waitress was lovely.

Yet another excellent meal at the Fox Cub; good food, cheerful & helpful staff and a good atmosphere. The food & drink is excellent value - and on Monday there was £10 off a bottle (Prosecco in our case).

Always enjoy the Fox Cub. Can't fault it.

Great restaurant, with good food and service and a friendly atmosphere

Excellent service and perfect table after asking for a quiet table that accessible due to elderly member and asd daughter.

Amazing service from Hayden tonight! Thanks so much :)

Always consistent quality food and it's very good. Friendly staff and service isn't rushed. This is not a fast food place. Look upon it as a typical Spanish restaurant where the food is freshly cooked but will take a little time to arrive dependent upon the number of people dining. Sit back and chill.

After tea really nice and very tasty,the staff were very helpful and polite would definitely return .

Very pricey for having to wait and hour and half for food Food isn't spectacular either, standard pub food for an exaggerated price. Don't seem to have enough staff either.

Delicious food, really good value for money and all of the staff could not be more helpful. Our waitress Gemma was superb!

What a great little pub/r'rant near Penwortham. Lovely garden in the sun. Free lge car park. Interiors are cosy and stylish. Staff are happy and the food is both presented well and Hot and Tasty. A great stop for a drink and a nibble. 🙂

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, however food took a while to come and when it did my kabab was well over cooked and the wrap was stale.

Fantastic experience at Ego as always - the atmosphere is gorgeous, very warm and cosy with a classy feel. Would recommend for any occasion! Plenty of comfortable inside and outside seating. Service is always great, friendly and no delays to food or drinks. Excellent choice from the menu from appetisers and starters right through to after dinner coffee. Food is absolutely delicious!

1 hour after taking our order and no food. Drinks not offered. Told the beef was poor quality after 40 minutes from ordering. Service ridiculously slow. Would never come again.

Always lovely to go to Ego. Very busy on a random actual warm sunny Friday night. Thank you to the staff who were rushed off their feet for doing a grand job. Our food was delicious. Very chilled night. 👌

Great location, amazing ambient the medium rare steak could have been a little more on the outside, but a lovely meal.

Busy for a Monday , had to wait a while for first course.

Spur of the moment drop in for lunch - excellent service. Will call again.

Loved it here, food was fab, would recomend😘

Lovely restaurant with great food. Helpful and attentive servers.

A Wednesday lunch and what a great special offer. Two meals for £30 and wine for £10. Definitely will be back.

Really nice place for all the family . Great service and attentive with good food for the price.

Vegan Sunday roast was excellent, followed by the frangipane dessert 👌🏻

We have been to Ego at the Fox Cub many times and the food is always good, the service is always good, the staff are always friendly and the surroundings are comfortable. What more could we want?

I came following a recommendation from a friend. I didn’t find the menu very appealing, the calamari was rubbery and greasy and the salmon fish cakes were dry, as was the rocket salad (no dressing) and the fries were stuck together. The service was descent and the atmosphere was jolly as a ladies group was celebrating a birthday. But I won’t be returning again any time soon.

Hmm 1 star this time. So I spent £65 for a meal. Starter ×1, mains x2, dessert x2 & drinks (non alcoholic). Starter ok isish. Mains pizza base as thin as paper & burnt around the edges. Risotto no chicken small portion and bland no taste. Desserts well small & no worth the money. Staff were not attentive apart from asking every 3 minutes did we want more drinks. Sorry no. After the last experience with uncooked kebabs and refunds I expected better. Change the menu a bit and stop serving the same things for the last 3 years. Atmosphere empty tables in the restaurant so not much if any atmosphere. Would I recommend no, not until you start giving value for money until then I will eat out elsewhere. I have been a loyal customer in the past but something needs to change for me to return.

Consistently good quality food, service and atmosphere. It was surprisingly busy when we visited on a Tuesday lunchtime. We had pizza's and loved them, thin crispy bases done in a pizza oven. My partner had goats cheese and red oinion chutney which was delicious and I chose to make up my own pizza which was; mushrooms, artichoke and black olives, which was also delicious. They have a special lunchtime menu for those who don't want to eat a full meal.

Food,service & atmosphere fab!! Definitely we will be back soon. Thank you

Friendly, attentive staff. Smart, clean modern space. Had a drink before dining and the meal and dessert were both excellent.

Haven’t been to ego for a very long time, even though we only live round the corner. It was superb. The steak was cooked to perfection, thank you.

Staff are interactive, the food was very good and the drink options were fine. Great dining out place

Food amazing as always.great place to chill. We went on a Thursday going back today family meal .love this place .we were there for my 60th.this made it special.

What a lovely place, food was excellent great choices, staff really friendly and helpful and service was brilliant. Only just found this place and been back twice already this month.

Excellent value and imaginative quality food. We are regular customers now and we think the midweek offers are great. We also use the Ego's in Sefton and Lytham which all have similar menus and offers.

Very good food excellent service and staff wonderful Visited 3 times in April great experience Food great every meal thank you to the team

Booked for this special offer night and it was excellent. Upon entry we were showed to our table by pleasant staff , drinks and food ordered almost instantly. Little wait for drinks but not overly so. Recommend the starter of coated Iberian pork with black pudding , lovely and moist with added dressing and leaves. Can also wholly recommend the beef bourguignon for taste and tenderness. Really enjoyed the atmosphere, our meals and complementary staff.

It saddens me to write a poor review as we regularly come for Sunday lunch. But last Sundays was terrible both food and service

Absolutely love this place, service & food always amazing, any issues resolved promptly staff are very attentive ❤️

Ego never falters on quality of food, choices of dishes and making to order, we booked for their offer night Wednesday 2 courses for £15 we expected a limited menu but was surprised to the wide choices on offer, including our favourite dishes, my husband had mushroom in a sauce, I had Goats Cheese, we both had the Andalusian Pork with Dauphinoise Potatoes, service is very good although staff are not familiar with what draft beers are on offer, so it's a good idea to just go along the bar to see what is available

Not been for a while food and wine quality not as good as before. Wine was really quite dreadful stuff and would not have it again Food was mostly over cooked Pork fillet was really dry Bit sad really because we have enjoyed some good food there previously Staff were good

Lovely welcoming place, very friendly and helpful staff. Big menu. Food really delicious, and vegan selections too. Great cocktails. Decor stylish and luxe yet relaxed. Also has well kept garden with seating. Really impressed Thankyou.

Cracking Wednesday evening deal atm. £30 for 2 with 2 lovely course choices & £10 for a bottle of house wine! Big portions & great food...absolutely stuffed! X

Staff very pleasant and helpful. Starter and main courses tasty and nice. Desert however was a massively over priced disappointment. We ordered the chocolate sundae and it was basically a sundae glass over filled with cheap cream. Ice cream and chocolate browny pieces were very scarce. You could see daylight thru the glass before we even started. For £9 you would be forgiven for expecting a bit more. Apart from that everything else was good.

Our first time dining here. Very nice welcome and staff very pleasant , great choice of all courses really. Food nicely prepared and presented. I had the paella and hubby had the mixed skewer both were very good Although hubby isn’t a fan of skin on fries. My only gripe was the price of the house wine starting at £25, would probably just get a large glass next time. All in all though a very pleasant visit with a nice ambiance and decent food. Would definitely return.

Our 2nd Visit To Ego And Once Again Wow We Have No Other Words. Service And Food Once Again Amazing. If You Haven’t Visited You Really Should

Our regular haunt 3 colleagues who meet up once a month, varied tastes, we have never been dissapointed in our choices all prepared to an excellent level. However it is, while being a very nice building, remains a favourite eatery because of the chefs and waiting on staff, full praise to them.

Just love The Fox Cub. Always a lovely welcome. Great food, service and staff brilliant. We come here a lot. They also have some special night and offers

Just a little disappointed with mums food this evening. She wanted spaghetti carbonara, a small portion as her appetite is not what it was. The other two meals were up to the usual high standard which is why I’ve rated five stars overall but four stars for food quality. We did raise this with our server who tried to correct the situation with more carbonara sauce and we also mentioned it when we paid the bill. Service was brilliant to balance this review.

Nice country pub had Sunday roast was lovley , staff were very good 👍

Food was delicious but it's miles more expensive than anywhere else in the area. We had a discount code and it was still best part of £70 for two people.

Roasted potatoes were far too hard couldn’t even cut then. The green beans were hard and you couldn’t cut them either and the lamb was very tough

Truly a good visit, from start to finish. Super atmosphere, attentive staff, great , reasonably priced food and a bonus dessert from a very honest young man, who cared about his guests experience. Thank you, the basque cheesecake was lovely 😁

I recently visited here on a Tuesday and it was ‘steak night’! I ordered the rump steak as it was larger than the fillet I normally have! Well it may as well have been prime fillet! No fat or gristle , soft and tender and cooked to perfection! I have been going to this restaurant for years and I can honestly say the food never disappoints! The staff are truly amazing too. Nothing is too much and always happy smiling faces. Special thanks to James , one of the managers who went above and beyond to make sure our visit was fabulous. If you want good food , non extortionate prices and a great atmosphere, visit here!

Wide range of delicious food at reasonable prices

Great pub decor and atmosphere and friendly helpful staff but food not quite as good as it should have been.

EGO is a chain of restaurants that cater for your comfort food of fish and chips or pizza, aswell as steaks, hanging kebabs, seabass etc. The desert menu is also very enticing. Nice atmosphere, excellent staff, great food.

Good food choice, well presented and served.

Visited Fri evening at 6.30, by time we left at 8.30 the place was buzzing. Food delicious - garlic mushrooms very tasty & fillet steak cooked to perfection. Staff friendly and professional Great food, definitely recommend

Great food, nice atmosphere , friendly decent service, defo would go again

Paid £20 for a plate of tomato, cucumber and onion (pictured). Fresh and tasty, but £20.

We enjoyed the thursday special menu

Good meal, good service. Nothing exceptional.

Great food, staff really efficient and friendly. A good go-to eatery.

Well cooked tasty food loved our Sunday dinner. Service brilliant and helpful. Ideal place if your disabled. Hopefully we will be back again

Another wonderful meal at Ego. Couldn't fault the food, drink or service. If you like your red wine, the House Primitivo is lovely :)

Visited the Fox & Cub at Longton today we were greeted with a warm welcome by front of house and asked what we would like to drink once shown to our table,No fuss about our small dog Bow and they even made of fuss of our 1 year old son Archie (that never really happens in hospitality) Ordered the Garlic mushrooms off the a la carte menu they were excellent very tasty and had the chicken supreme off there set menu which to was excellent my partner had the fillet steak "excellent". Our desert choices were creme brulee and sticky toffee pudding with custard all was superb! And not forgetting Archie's meal Breaded chicken goujons chips & peas he ate the lot, Good pint of Amstel 👍 What more could you ask for a nice pub with friendly cheerful staff a warm welcome great food and service and dog friendly area's for our 4 legged friends 🐾🐾 🐕 Also very warm a must for January 👍

Top class food, backed with excellent service

It's been a long time since we have been here Thought we should give It another try Price really good but it is for January only Like a lot of other places are doing after Christmas The menu still basically the same after all the years it has been open It would be nice to see a change

Friendly service and excellent food

Great place , hanging kebap is novel and tasty , will re visit
