Fox and Hounds in Cardiff

When we arrived a dog had decided to take a shit in the end restaurant area and the place stunk. We moved away from the smell but why do you allow dogs in the restaurant? When the food arrived it was very disappointing and we decided we will not be returning to this pub.

Once again we had a great Sunday lunch, The service and staff were excellent.

The staff are wonderful and so welcoming :)

Been coming here for years and will continue to do so. This place has been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember. Great atmosphere, great staff and great food

Stopped here for a drink on Saturday afternoon, fantastic atmosphere all staff we so friendly and welcoming, decided to have some food (currently 30% off) selected choices) and did not regret I had the flatbread chicken kebab and it was stunning chicken so tender, partner had the mac and cheese main and was absolutely delicious, will definitely be returning especially because they have a large area near the bar where they show the sports and a lovely seating area to sip your wine on a sunny autumn day.

Very good food . Excellent choice of beers and lager Etc Nice Staff Excellent Service

Arrived at Fox and Hounds Chapel Row St Mellons only to find I had accidentally booked for the church road Whitchurch restaurant. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and very kindly fitted us in. I cannot thank your staff in st Mellons enough for their efforts, efficiency and friendliness. The food was excellent as always. Will definitely be going there again soon

We visited the Fox and Hounds as part of a larger party for a group social. We had booked in advance but staff were still very accommodating when we wanted to rearrange the tables to allow everyone to sit round one big table rather than smaller break off groups. They were very quick with the orders and getting food out, and price-wise the F and H are on par with other similar establishments with good quality food so am very happy with the experience. The group had a range of different dishes, and all members were very happy with their food choices and quality of dishes.

I visited for food with my 2 nieces. The two guys who served me were friendly and helpful Service food and drinks were excellent value for money

We are in most Sundays for a drinks and lunch and they staff are really friendly. Our lunch today was good tasty and hot, Tom nailed my Sticky Toffee Pudding. Keep up the great work 💪

Been going to the fox and hounds for years and is just generally a lovely place to go with family. Has a beautiful outdoor section perfect for the summer and a climbing frame that keeps kids entertained for hours. Five stars.

Food was very good my steak was excellent cooked to perfection staff extremely friendly ,polite and helpful lovely relaxed atmosphere, shame it was spoilt by the table behind us complaining very loudly about the length of time they had been waiting for their main course insisted tables that had arrived after them were receiving their meals first which was totally untrue, they were very rude to the staff which was totally uncalled for I applaud 👏 👏👏 the staff for the calm and polite way they dealt with the situation quite frankly I would have told them to F****OFF their behaviour was disgusting and they were very rude and totally out of order. WELLDONE!!!Fox and Hounds keep doing what you do we will definitely be back and will be recommending you.

Bit noisy as it was a Friday. Food was reasonably quick and was fine.

Great food and the Staff are really helpful and friendly, also a dog friendly place as long as your dog is well behaved!

A great pub that has stood the test of time in Whitchurch, nice food and good service. Also good beer garden pit the back

Food is great quality would recommend staff are great aswell ,fast service aswell

Tasty food and reasonably priced

Good value place to eat. Hot dog was way better than I expected as well so recommend.

Beautiful food - very impressed and the staff were so lovely and helpful

Food is simple, unpretentious pub fayre. Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Good pub for a family outing.

Helpful pleasant staff, good food, quick service

Service and food were great. The staff accommodated quite a lot of us (including children) at the end of what seemed to be a very busy weekend, but most dishes on the menu were still available and we didn't have to wait long for our food. Bar staff were also very friendly and efficient. Thank you!

We met up with friends for a meal and a drink. The staff were attentive, gracious and kind.

Family pub. So expect children. A play area outside for the kids to play with plenty of benches. Some covered, some not.

Came in for a team meal, 16 people. Food came out quick and very tasty, thanks for looking after us 👍👌

Staff are always friendly and the food is always served quickly. Recently had the sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection. Toilets are always clean and well stocked. Dogs are allowed on hard floor areas and there is plenty of room for wheelchairs/ pushchairs around the tables although 2 small areas of the restaurant are up a few steps. There are big screens available to watch sports. The garden is clean and tidy with a small play area with climbing frame and slide. I recommend the sirloin steak, hunters chicken, chocolate cake and latte.

Great food. Dog friendly. Small play area for the kids. Really nice size enclosed beer garden. Friendly staff and very affordable :)

Food was good value & tasty, football was on the big creen, atmosphere was good, staff were friendly & efficient

Lovely staff, quick service, nice food, decent prices, good TV screen

Had a wonderful evening at the fox, looked after by Will and the team. Fantastic choice of well kept ales on offer, as well as a reasonably priced food menu, the fish and chips in particular was one to order again on return

10 of us visited the fox this evening and the team have again made our night. Lovely foods, fab atmosphere and helpful ,welcoming staff. Would particularly like to thank Will for looking after our table . See you all again soon

Bryony had excellent service today at the pub really polite manner and the food was lovely will come back again really pleased

Food wasn't great,myself And friend couldn't eat much of our meals,told the server 'tom' and was offered refund or free desserts,desserts were exceptional,I'm hoping this was a 1 off. been coming here for years for food with no problems,hats off to tom who was exceptional from start to finish,a great asset to have working for you,very professional

The experience and all the staff were excellent

We visited the fox and hounds on father's day, there was 5 of us dining, we had a starter which was fine and then our mains, 4 out of the 5 of us had the roast, when we ordered we were told that there was no chicken so we opted for the turkey, the food was brought out quite quickly and looked fantastic, plenty of meat with all the trimmings, however when we put the "gravy" on, if you can call it gravy, it was so bad that my 9 year old asked "urgh Dad why are you pouring water on your food!" Which ultimately ruined our meals, such a disappointment as we had spent over £100 on food and drink!!! We had every intention of complaining but didn't get the opportunity too as none of the servers asked how our meals were which I thought was standard these days.

Lovely food here, meals were taken and served promptly by Kieran, very welcoming pub. Staff are lovely and it’s a lovely atmosphere!

Popped in for a quick bite to eat. As always food was beautiful, service quick and professional

Had a good meal here. Very friendly and accommodating staff, nice atmosphere. Good size car park.

Lovely food and fast service. Always a lovely atmosphere when we visit.

Great atmosphere in beer garden with grandkids. Many seats need replacing as wood is splintering badly. I am rather surprised at good reviews for meals. Sadly we have not had good experience with meals there..on few occasions inc terrible sunday lunch. Management were happy to refund us but still disappointing not given quality edible meals.

The staff were friendly. The atmosphere was buzzing in the garden on a Saturday afternoon. They had a good selection of gins. For the price the food was good - the lasagne felt good value for money. The pudding was slightly overcooked at the base - tasty otherwise.

I had asked Mike (the manager) if it was possible to watch the European Rugby Cup Final in the pub last weekend and he set up a separate area in the pub - the rugby zone! Only a few of us were there as the FA cup final was on but it was just fantastic to be with fellow rugby fans , a few drinks and some food. And all for someone that he (Mike the manager) didn’t know! Staff are fantastic-never have to wait to be served! Definitely my new local!

Lovely atmosphere and the food was even better! Staff were all very friendly, and Kerry was especially accommodating. Would definitely come back again!

Food was lovely, and was the most welcoming atmosphere from all the staff! Love that it’s dog friendly too 🐶

It was the best experience of my life!!!

Great dog friendly family pub with secure garden and park for the kids. Food was lovely

Excellent venue. Really accommodating for large groups (with children!) Food service was really quick and the staff were wonderful! Thanks for a great afternoon

Great staff, great food. Would recommend.

Accommodated a large group, staff were superb. Thankyou F&H

Another good lunch with a friendly welcome. Hunters Chicken and fish and chips were much enjoyed, the fish being huge. To be recommended.

Fantastic meal and service yesterday at the fox as always, will certainly be returning 😀

I love this place and sometimes there food is gorgeous but once our twice it was not the best. It's always busy though and they cater to large bookings for celebrations. Nice beer and a hidden garden at the back which will be fab for us in summer.

Went with my family who were down from England had a fab evening my aunt and uncle had mixed grills which they devoured as they were so nice .my uncle loved the rev James . All the rest of the food was excellent as well .the staff were friendly and the service was brill . Well done fox and hounds excellent food srvice

Really great pub, and always a friendly atmosphere. Staff are always a good laugh and welcoming. Great place to watch sport, or just hang out having a beer to 2. Good choice or food ....

Efficient and friendly bar staff. Food served fast service and upto expectations. Would of chosen Sorbet but not on offer. Please fix for next time.

i came here with a friend to night for late night food. i had fish and chips and a pint of Amstel which in total came to 18 quid i sat down and thought that seemed a bit dear so asked the girl about it aftter as it looked like she had overcharged me for the fish and chips as it came to 13.50 when on menu it said 9.50 she said its because in the afternoons its cheaper then in the night the price changes i mean why not keep the price the same at all times in any case me and my mate said we wont be going back here again terrible night not happy at all.

This was nice - albeit with limited seating

Service great, staff when ordering food and drink very helpful. Food delicious. Thankbyou

The staff were very friendly and efficient. The quality of the food was really good pub grub and we were all happy with our choices

Lovely pub....been away too long

Great pints served by Josie. Lovely atmosphere in the pub. Our Sunday lunch was smashing. We are very lucky to call this our local.

Sunday lunch was very disappointing! We visited 17th March for a family dinner and it was the saddest roast we'd ever had. The dinner featured hard vegetables - the carrots must've ben boiled for no longer than 20 seconds and some equally hard broccoli. The meat (there was no chicken - despite half chicken being on the menu but our table had the beef and turkey) was wafer thin and was accompanied by 1 small uncooked stuffing ball. The dinners were missing mash potato? and one of our party had no stuffing. For six adults we were brought over 2 tiny gravy boats and had to request more but the gravy was tasteless and watery and didn't have an ounce of meat juice in it. Overal the table were very disappointed with both the quality and quantity of sunday lunches served.

I had my 50th birthday in here back in February . I had about 20 people and we had the part which is cut of for parties. Absolutely perfect. Food was good , staff were good. Definitely recommend 👍

Amazing Mother’s Day Sunday lunch. Great atmosphere and staff very friendly . More importantly food was delicious ! Would highly reccommend,

Good was cold had to send mine back wasn't the same Shame as we were looking forward to lunch 😕😔

Lovely meal for Mother’s Day , it was very busy but service was brilliant , food excellent and atmosphere great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely pub and very friendly staff. Great in the summer as there beer garden is really nice. Definitely worth a visit. Didn't have food, but what I seen it looks really nice.

Got to say how impressed I am for the young girl working Friday night . Her name was imogen and was literally everywhere doing all jobs. Very efficient and plesant and a pkeasure to watch her enjoying her job also kieran and our beautiful Brett on the bar always polite and ready to pour our drinks 🍸 quick speedy service and never a wait

I come to this pub yearly to meet friends and watch the Six Nations Rugby. Staff are really friendly, great atmosphere really lovely pub! Plenty of screens for sport.

Lovely friendly staff, great food and atmosphere, would definitely recommend 👌

Staff are welcoming and food was great. lovely customer services and options to order on the app is a nice touch too

Came here for a meal with the family to celebrate my sons 18th birthday. The staff were all amazing,nothing was too much trouble. One of them decorated the cake before bringing it out. All were so friendly,offering to take photos too. Will definitely come back and would highlyrecommend to friends. Thank you

Recent New menu, great little pub for the area food of good and a small kids climbing frame out the back.

Joint birthday meal with family and booked well in advance. A bit disappointed as they had no fish and no steak pie atb7pm on a Friday evening. We chose alternatives but was once again disappointing as it seems both the Fox and Hounds and The Three Arches have let us down with the Fish and chips.. the food we had was ok but wondered why so early on a Friday evening they run out of Fish and Steak Pie??? Bad management maybe? Most people in the pub were drinkers for the rugby!

Excellent service, staff and food

Had a lovely meal for my partners birthday. Staff amazing and very attentive. Atmosphere was perfect for the occasion. Would highly recommend.

20 members of St Mary's Gardens Volunteers enjoyed another convivial lunch at The Fox on January 16th 2024. Mike and the Staff have given us amazing support in our project of restoring the historic Gardens across the road from the Fox ever since we began work in 2017. It was lovely to come in to find our table ready set and to receive a warm welcome. Despite the complexities of our various orders they were all perfectly fulfilled and served, freshly cooked and piping hot The service was as attentive and friendly as always. Another memorable occasion thanks to the hospitality of this community-minded Hotel.

On visiting for a family birthday meal , asked staff member which table we were on ,Was politely shown where and two male staff were very friendly on assisting myself to a table ,seating me and went to the bar for my drink as I was on crutches , had a lovely meal , food was amazing as always here , nice friendly staff as always , so is the landlord Mike always helpful.

Pleasant enough local pub with ok food - fine if you are passing not with a special trip

The staff were all friendly and helpful but the pub was quite noisy and the food was okay but nothing special

Love this pub so much. Great food and great atmosphere and is will presented. Service is fabulous and the staff are so polite. If your looking for a nice pub this is the place to be.

The food is reasonably priced, just not amazing quality. The staff are friendly.

Ordered an Ice Cream Sundae from the Lunch Deal menu. It's just 3 scoops of ice cream served in a soup bowl. Not quite a sundae and a little misleading. Just call it 3 scoops of ice cream to save any confusion.

This was a family get together of about 20 people for my sons birthday. We did the same last year and we will very likely do the same next year. the service, staff, atmosphere is lovely, we all had a lovely time

I like the Fox and have been going there weekly for 40 years. The staff are great but unfortunately the draught beer is often undrinkable on a Sunday night. This has been the case for many months Brain’s bitter being the chief offender . I hope whatever the problem is it can be resolved

Easy to order, meals arrived promptly, staff happy to slightly amend order. Slight delay for sweets but coffees excellent and delivered quickly.

Breakfast with Santa. Such a magical experience for the kids and breakfast was great too. Staff were great and welcoming. Will definitely return

Bit dismayed on arrival that they had no record of our booking on their system, although I'd booked online and had text and email confirmations, all correct. Luckily, there were tables free. Then had very good, pleasant service from all staf. Nice atmosphere, food was OK, nothing special but nothing wrong with it either, standard pub meal. Good 30% off voucher made it a good deal, and they were very helpful re the £5 for 2 drinks offer too. Would return.

Friendly staff, good service and reasonably priced food with a good variety.

Excellent food, service was amazing and great value for money. Brilliant experience.

Celebrated our friend's birthday here. Staff were lovely and friendly and the service was quick. They didn't rush to ask us to vacate our table after our meal and were accommodating with the birthday cake. Nice atmosphere too.

A busy pub, on a Wed evening, but having experienced their service & food I can understand why. Our waiter was Brett & his customer service throughout was friendly & helpful. A return visit (I don't live in Cardiff) is definitely on the cards 😊

Very very busy had to queue was mad only two staff on they cracked it fair play not many if any could have come out of it like they did still cracking service and food go guys you did it

Great service by all the staff there especially the lead lady on the door who managed to fit us in last minute and the food we had was cooked quickly and tasted great! Thank you as usual.

Following a critical email to the brewery 2022 (quality of the beer related, not the pub per se) I feel it only fair to compliment the staff (and management) on the quality of the customer service. It is friendly and refreshing this day and age and is particularly welcome with the age gap (being in my 70's) and to have younger staff members engage in casual conversation even for a short time while being served is just great. Many thanks and best wishes 👍

The fox is an asset to Whitchurch. The staff are always welcoming and go above and beyond to make our visit 10/10. Drinks are always up to top standard and the food hot and delicious. I will always come back here!

Very busy there with a church choir having a pint before singing next door and also the added attraction of 30% off main meals. Despite the large numbers there, the staff were extremely efficient and happy in their job. The beer was very good and mixed grill cooked to my liking. The chips were On the cool dude but therefore quickly changed by the manager so no wait. A very enjoyable night and I'm sure the staff slept very well after all their hard work.

Lovely lunch , cooked to perfection , very busy but didn’t wait long , lovely staff and such a friendly atmosphere. Well done Mike and Team .

Very nice food and atmosphere. I did have to park five minutes away though but I don’t think you can do much about extending the car park. The food quality was excellent and the portion size was generous. Even though it was busy I did not wait long for my food and didn’t wait too long at the bar. Would like to go again, hopefully when it’s a little less busy.

After what seems a long wait the fryer was back in work. The fish was delicious - even more so with the 30% discount. Great meal, but at full price is too expensive fir eating out on a regular basis...
