Fox and Hounds in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Far too expensive for the quality and quantity of food served. Poor menu choice as most items were not available.... not even baked potatoes! We went at lunch time yesterday and there were no other customers the whole time. No heat, no atmosphere. Such a shame it used to be such a thriving place. We gave it 3 chances, not again !

Excellent in every way. We went with friends for Sunday lunch (& our dog) - we had a warm welcome , super service and fantastic food . We enjoyed it so much, we went back for another meal a few days later.

We have been fairly frequently to this pub and generally happy with food we have been served and price paid. I’m sorry to say that the significant price increases are not justified and although the food was ok, the portions are smaller and the price high. I’m sure it’s very difficult to run a pub atm but sadly there are equally good around for much less than paid today. We all need to watch the pennies and mine won’t be spent here

Went for lunch, not half as busy as normal. Staff not up to the usual standard and it appears things have been let go slightly! Prices have been increased, which we don't mind for good food and service. BUT food was mediocre. Paid £10 for a dessert and all that came on the plate was one waffle with one scoop of ice cream with no decoration and the waffle was so hard it flew off my sons plate while trying to cut it!

Our dog was catered for and our requests from the menu were sorted efficientliently This is our second visit and Daveydog says woof, woof for my sausages, am 9f for zzzzz.

Can't say no more about this place than the stars ive given them, its always been great, the lasses in there are so helpful, food is and always has been great 👍

Great location plenty parking spaces lovely friendly staff

Always a great visit here. Good ales on tap and service is always welcoming and polite. Nice beer garden out the front by the stream or out the back away from the road.

Sunday lunch with my family- excellent carvery, really friendly and helpful staff, delicious desserts and a really cosy and homely feel. Will definitely return and recommend

Delicious food and friendly staff

Excellent food Beers And service! Super dog friendly

Thank you for a fabulous night of beautiful food, great staff and lovely experience had by all our family. The Wickers ;0)

We had roast which was lovely and puddings but very much very priced since we have been to alot of places as we are local, nachos are not worth the money just under £10 all most all are broken and not worth the money, puddwere nice but again Iver priced, had a look at the menu and a ploughman's lunch at £18 very very pricey we have been on dartmoor and either not this price or you pay for the view.

Called in here as we were both hungry and we were certainly not disappointed, the food was excellent and very tasty. So much so we went in again the following day! Lovely place, lovely people, great food. 10/10

Visited again in September and chef has recently changed and the meals were fantastic. Keep up the good work. Good service and better choice than there was available in the summer.

We had the Sunday carvery, couldn't fault it.

Real yummy Sunday carvery again

Super tasty food and very friendly, accommodating staff at reasonable prices. When we couldn't eat there the second time because there was a technical problem in the kitchen, they organized and reserved a table for us in a nearby restaurant, which was also very good. This is customer service. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely go to Fox&Hounds again...

We happened upon this wonderful place on our journey back to our holiday home, we received a warm welcome from Amber and was promptly given menus and a lovely spot with clean table. There was more than enough choice with the menu's however, me and the wife both chose the pil pil prawns dish, we were so glad we did, it was out of this world, our son chose the loaded fries and was more than happy. We felt, Not only was the food and drinks outstanding and delicious, the staff, especially Amber, went above and beyond to make our experience here, such a good one Thanks to the team, especially Amber and the kitchen staff for such a wonderful lunch, we won't forget this one in a hurry Edit September 2024 We returned and were greeted by the wonderful Aymie and Emilie, I think this was the young ladies names, they made our experience even more by their friendliness, the food was still absolutely sublime, infact id even go so far as to say better, if this is possible! What a team! Can't wait to return!!

Friendly staff nice food and dog friendly

We were recommended the fox and hounds by a friend, I cannot say how highly i now recommend this amazing pub with such great food. Service was exceptional and we will be back to try out more of your fantastic food as soon as we can. Absolutely perfect!

Absolutely amazing food, great service and dog friendly! What more could you want! Enough parking spaces and just super great

Poor steaks. Ordered a prawn dish and was served chicken. Steaks grisly. Waitress was patronising and tried to talk down to us. They did knock a bit off the bill but it was already over priced for what it was. Small serving of vegetables/chips. Had to send one dish back. Wife was served 20mins after everyone else. And the pasta wasn't cooked properly and sauce was watery. Wife left most of it as it wasn't good at all. Drinks well over priced. I dont mind paying for good food and service but on this occasion it was shambolic. They said they had complaints by previous customer over the steaks so why carry on serving a product that you have a known issue with ? And the waitress said they are having issues finding a good cheif! (How un professional! ) Id avoid this pub for food in future. Pubs are struggling but with this level of quality no wonder people are opting to keep their money in their pockets. Such a shame as Fox & Hounds use to be a great eating place.

.. Rustic, totally cozy and very tasty. We were allowed to stay overnight with our campervan. The most dog friendly place I have ever experienced. Own dog menu card! Highly recommended!

Received a warm welcome and a lovely roast for us and for the dog.

Great meal. We had the pulled pork burger and the veg lasagne. Both were really good size and very nice. Very dog friendly with ours having beef,potatoes and gravy. Would definitely recommend

Me and the wife have been here several times, for the carvery, one of the best we’ve had. Staff are always polite and friendly. Highly recommend.

A very nice dinner at the Fox and Hounds. We had booked a table online and glad we did because the pub was full. We went on a busy holiday weeknight evening but the service was very friendly and they provided table service for drinks too. Good pub food, nice outside seating in the garden. Carvery at weekend it seems. Recommended.

One of our favourite places, any time of the day. Stopped off for est coffee and amazing desert late one afternoon, squeezwd in a game of pool and darts in the process,

We have eaten in this pub/restaurant twice and both times as a result of being turned away at a nearby pub because it was booked up. However, on both occasions we have all thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service and a good atmosphere although a little out of the way for us from where we live and where our friends were staying. The car park is huge and could possibly be a venue for motorhomes to eat and stay although no mention of this on their website. The pub is very large and beautifully covered in flowers with a large beer garden and surrounded by greenery. The menu was fairly safe and standard but with some interesting additions on the specials board. I chose the deep fried whitebait (£9.95) followed by the rump on a hot skillet with chips (£22.95). Both were delicious with an ample serving. Others in our party had fish and chips, a burger and a Chinese noodle dish from the specials board. We all enjoyed our meals and the service was excellent and a real credit to the pub.

Such a wonderful place - we come here quite regularly and always enjoy the warm welcome for both ourselves and our large dog. They have a menu just for dogs, so if you've been out on a long walk, you can all have something to eat together. Lovely team of people - thank you!

My partner and I spotted the Fox & Hounds on a drive to the north coast of Cornwall. Being lunchtime, we stopped for a light bite and a drink. The service was exceptional and food nicely presented and tasty. As an indication of how highly we rated the pub, we are intending to visit it again for lunch tomorrow.

My husband and I went for dinner today. The staff were really friendly and the food excellent. I let slip that it was my birthday and they brought my dessert with a lighted candle and sang "Happy birthday" Thank you all - it made it a special day.

Such a warm welcome from Abby, we were on our first trip away in our newly bought camper van and been to the campsite which was horrid so we had nowhere to stay, lovely Abby immediately said we could stay in their car park if we couldn't find anywhere for the night 😀 thank you so much Abby! Lovely pub great atmosphere fab menu go check it out and say hi from us 😀 Francesca and Katie xxx

We had a meal this evening and the food was delicious 😋 but the highlight of the night was how welcoming the staff were they went above and beyond. Special mention to Amber and Tabbitha. The hanging baskets were beautiful on the exterior of the pub.

Really dog friendly, Ivy loved her chicken and rice off the hound menu. Lovely staff, very welcoming, children loved their lasagna, decent portions, skillet plate was great. Reasonably priced for good portions. Good wine and ale. Dessert was good too. Thank you, would recommend!

The waitresses were extremely attentive and polite. Unfortunately, the food was poor. The Nachos were put in a bowl that was not very wide, so the toppings were concentrated over a small section and the cheese was not melted well. I was unable to finish the vegetarian lasagne because it was too greasy. The lasagne consisted of: a 1cm wedge of cheese topping, hardly any pasta sheets, the vegetables were minuscule and non-existent and the sauce was sloppy like soup. A disappointing meal.

This is a regular favourite super dog friendly pub for us. Always a lovely welcome for us and our dog (s). Menu choice is varied and the food is always great.

It was a little bit pricey but the food was lovely. The staff are friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was nice. Would recommend

Had very pleasant experience here, all staff were friendly, food was true to descriptions full of taste and worth the price.

I wanted steak and chips and a pint of English ale. This place delivered. Staff were so kind and food was spot on. Recommend to all.

Only vegan option was the burger. Didn't stay.

Had a birthday lunch with family and friends everything was good will be going back again great food and friendly staff.

Rough & Ready at best. Didn't eat, so can't comment on food but atmosphere was a bit... 😬

Good food in a lovely atmospheric place

The place is lovely. The food was absolutely lush and the service on point. I can't fault it. The dogs also loved their sausages from the dog menu. 5 stars x

Very welcoming and friendly pub, very dog friendly. Had the calamari starter, which was very nice, washed down with a ale 🍺 highly recommended

Very enjoyable lunch today with very friendly staff, delicious food and warm and welcoming surroundings. Will definitely come again 👍

This is really great place with fantastic atmosphere and best service, food was really nice. The only missing thing was a bit healthier, less salty options, especially on kids menu, but other than that it was delish!

A beautiful quaint country pub and eatery. Food was excellent and the service brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic food and great atmosphere, a band playing in the garden helped with that,great night. Great staff too

Very lovely but too busy for us to eat sadly... But that's a good sign...

Absolutely disgusting starter prawns were sill frozen ,main courses chips were not cooked only blanched once still white my burger was raw in the middle the burger bun I could not even cut or eat at all my ,my husband fish was cremated and his chips weren’t cooked either which he didn’t eat and he always eat his chip I am sorry but I wouldn’t recommend and the food was served and she ran off so quickly I did not have a chance to ask for cutlery she was probably embarrassed at the food she served disgusting.

Used to be our sunday local 4 years back. Went on Fox Fest was buzzing nice to be back !

Very friendly staff to us and our dog. Delicious food with large portions. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Great pub & Lovely atmosphere. The staff were very friendly & the food was great. Shame we only found it today as other places we have visited have been overpriced & unfriendly

Great food, large portions! Really friendly, could not fault. Thank you!

Had fantastic meals at this pub, and it was extremely busy, however the staff managed to look after us.

Great service, very friendly and quick too even though they were very busy. They found us a table even though we hadn't booked. Fun to have live music in the garden. Food portions were generous. Can recommend the fish burger if you're hungry.

Lovely pub nicely set. One criticism. We planned to have food but sat in the Lovely garden, but the music being broadcast over the speakers in the middle of the day did grater on the nerves after a while. ( and I do love all types of music) Shame because the food looked great.

Lovely tasty food very friendly staff welcoming staff. Excellent dog friendly pub

A very friendly pub with delicious food, feeding two hungry tourists. The roast dinner was brilliant, all very fresh and hot. Attentive staff and a clean, bright yet traditional feel pub. 10/10 well done, we'll visit again.

Very friendly pub with great staff. Excellent Thursday night quiz 😀

Welcoming staff and nice food. A good place for us to meet for a family meal while staying at Cusgarne Manor. Plenty of parking.

Don't order the loaded fries. They're an affront to real food and priced like a Michelin star restaurant.

Very good food, (real food (roast meat) not fast food) outstanding, attentive service, sunny beer garden, cozy warm decor. I am completely satisfied here

Great service for our late lunch on a Wednesday. Good choice on the menu and the staff were spit on. Very dog friendly too, with a special dog menu. Really enjoyed the visit and will definitely return. As always the hanging baskets outside were a picture.

Nice food and fabulous welcome. The place needs some investment.

Lovely staff, really nice atmosphere and a great carvery

Lovely pub, great food, good service. Thoroughly recommend, will definitely go again

Called in here on the way back to Falmouth 4.6.24. The lady (Amy?) was super super nice, made us feel incredibly welcome and at home. She made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. We ordered food, Pil Pil prawns, classic prawn skillet, a lasagne and ham egg and chips for my elderly Dad. Fabulous! We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Tasty and piping hot what more can you ask for. Wish we’d found it sooner as would’ve gone again.

Yesterday evening, we went to The Fox And Hounds for dinner for a Sunday carvery an we were amazed how kind the staff are an how delicious the food is (the ice cream sundae is huge) and it has a special spoon

Great food this evening and even better service. Attention to detail was observed and our evening was made particularly welcoming by Amber who was very professional in her role but warm and friendly in her approach. Great work by all the team!

Very disappointed came for a work night outing and half of the menu was unavailable. It’s such a shame as I heard great things from others about the food but sadly we were all very dissatisfied.

The staff in this establishment were exceptional. Friendy & efficient . The food was good, & the atmosphere cosy. I would highly recommend.

Great pub for casual dining. Good beer garden and very good prices for the carvery .

We eat outmost Sundays, and we thought we would try the Fox and Hound. Meat a bit dry from sitting veg over cooked, and brussel sprouts very mushy. I would only rate this as a 5 out of 10. Sorry to say we won't be going back.

A great pub with a good outside area for the family

Gorgeous old pub, very nice food lovely food and super friendly staff, just a little bit expensive. But had a nice time and good memories.

Had Sunday lunch there yesterday , food was brilliant and the whole team serving were amazing , ran like clockwork you can tell that they enjoy their jobs . Will go again

Sunday evening carvery in Cornwall at its very best. Very good portion of meat and a lovely selection of veg. Come here as often as we can, and always impressed. Service is second to none. Thank you and see you soon!

If it wasn't for the staff my score would have been lower, the drinks were expensive (£4.30 for a bottle of Heineken 0%) My Ham and Eggs was only average with warmed up ham and frozen chips, no meals had any salad garnish and the total bill was £96 for 4 persons with only one drink each (£5.95 for a pint of larger, £5.85 for a 175ml of wine and 75p for a dash of lemonade) all in all I will not be returning .

Generous carvery with lovely friendly service

Greeted by the staff on entering the pub,and the options were quite good on the menu but fairly pricey,but maybe out of touch with dining out. Would have liked to see either sirloin or rump steak on the menu with the works of onion rings,mushrooms,peas etc but it was either steak in a baton type roll, or rib eye(the most expensive) service was excellent,catering for dairy free limited,but bent over backwards to achieve satisfaction on the sweet menu. Well worth a visit

Twelve of us from a local garden club had lunch at the Fox and Hounds today. We booked in advance and the staff were well organised and helpful. The main courses were excellent and those that had desserts said they were very good too. Portions are generous and the quality of the fresh cod was superb. The menu has a good variety of dishes and there is something to suit all tastes. I am now going to try out the Sunday roast which has been recommended!

An excellent place to eat, we have stopped here several times the food is always great, the pub has a lovely atmosphere inside. We came here most recently for Sunday roast, by far one of the best roasts I've had out. All the staff are friendly too. I highly recommend

Came across this lovely pub simply by googling local pubs to the cottage we were holidaying in. What a find. Excellent food and friendly staff. Love it being so dog friendly too. Thank you, we will be back next time we are in Cornwall!

Lovely place, good beer, nice food and brilliant staff.

Positives - apart from the team waiting on there were very few positives. When 2 x fish and chips arrived it was embarrassing as to the presentation and lack of food on the plate given the prices being charged. Fish presented skin side up is unacceptable. The chips were a mix of thick and thinner cut items which looked sad on the plate. The tartare sauce was an absolute joke and bore no resembalance to that on offer at local competitors or mass produced products. The fish pie whilst tasty was poor in presentation and fell short when compared with competitors. The best value meal of the evening was the scampi and chips which says something. We are local and keen to support local businesses but this evenings mediocre experience means we will focus on other premises.

Nice food, helpful staff, good beer and peaceful surroundings, lots of parking and easy to find just outside Lanner

Having had a mediocre meal here about 6 weeks ago I decided to try again given that it is a local pub. Alas, I was disappointed with the food again. Chicken Kiev was over cooked, dry and chewy. Rib eye steak was full of gristle and despite asking for medium rare was served well done. The peppercorn sauce was far too salty and overpowered the whole meal. Nachos were uninspiring and looked distinctly unappetising as just thrown on a small plate. The food absolutely lets down what is a friendly pub with a nice atmosphere. Overpriced, bland, overcooked and lacks the finesse you would expect with the prices being charged. Struggling to see how the landlord can justify the high food and drink prices. Having given the place a second chance I will not be back. This used to be a great pub with great food. Sadly it has gone downhill with quality sacrificed for profit.

Being locals we occasionally stop off for lunch here and are always very pleased we did. Today was no exception as the food, service and overall ambiance were all great. The welcome was lovely and the service spot on. We rate this pub very highly for it's quality and value and urge everyone to support it.

Great pub, and the food is very good. Indoor boasts three fireplaces comfy seating and outdoor seating also has a covered area. Well worth the vist

Soooo pleased we found this beautiful country pub! Absolutely perfect atmosphere, warm and welcoming, friendly and relaxed. Food was fab, all had steak except the small one who had kids fish fingers (homemade, fresh, delicious... MASSIVE portion!) steaks were cooked to perfection with great side selection - onion rings were banging! Nothing to fault in the food except I wish we could come back on a Sunday to give the carvery a go! Staff and locals super friendly and welcoming. I'd highly recommend this lovely place!

Have eaten here several times and although service is slow; food usually good. However had meal booked for 6.30, and several items not available, 2 of our party ordered the battered cod to be told it was whiting, later told no whiting but they did have griddled sole which I decided to have. When our meals finally arrived the fish was poorly presented and I moved around the plate. IT WAS RAW. It did not smell fresh. Returned it to the kitchen and chose just the mushrooms on bread. 2 of our party had finished their meals before mine even came. No-one in our group enjoyed their meal. When the bill arrived, I was told I had not been charged for the fish !!!! No other deduction made or offered. The serving staff were very apologetic about the situation- Will not be returning.

Nice place lovely people, good food & they serve Katy cider.

delicious food, friendly staff, lovely setting. considering we both had small portions we were still left stuffed! thank you so very much! an absolute treasure

We have been going to The Fox and Hounds for a couple of years for meals now. It's a lovely pub/restaurant and the staff, although always busy are excellent. Nothing is too much trouble. They are worth their weight in gold. !!!! It's a very popular place and sometimes by the evening service they have sold out of items on the menu. But there's always still a good selection of meals on offer. Other plus is they are dog friendly. Dog bowls, and doggy menu provided. A lovely touch. We always enjoy our visits. Thank you
