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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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 👍

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.

Would like to go again, hopefully when it’s a little less busy.

Came here for lunch today and was a little apprehensive as we had never been and had family friends visiting from a long ways away. We were greeted by warm welcoming staff who gave us a choice of seating positions even though there were seven of us and a big group making sure that we were seated in a lovely spot. We sat by the back door which was open and we were asked if this was ok which it was, it’s been muggy so it was nice and cool. There is a good choice on the menu, and the childrens menu has a lot of variety, not just the usual chicken nuggets and chips and sausage. My son wanted the korma which had run out so was offered the adults tikka at child’s price, he loved it! Everyone enjoyed their starters, mains and deserts which all came out promptly and all together. The waitresses and bar staff were all super helpful and friendly, I don’t fault a thing and will be returning soon with a some more family who will be bringing their dog as it is doggo friendly too. Thanks fox and hounds for a very nice afternoon.
