Lovely pub in the heart of Haydon Wick. Excellent home cooked food, nice menu which changes summer and winter. Portion size very good. Sunday lunch excellent. Booking recommended to avoid disappointment.

This pub is great for an evening out with friends. From the delicious freshly cooked food to the friendly service and atmosphere, it will not disappoint. Well varied menu and no problem with vegetarian choices though it is not a large establishment. Will definitely recommend and visit again.

We eat here regularly and the food is always of a high standard. Good portion sizes and piping hot. The atmosphere is warm and it is dog friendly. I recommend the Sunday lunch and the specials are good too.

Met up with family here for lunch, which was our first visit to this venue. The welcome was very friendly, even to our little dog Marley :) The atmosphere was very warm and relaxed, with a lovely Christmas feel. There was plenty of choice on the menu and the food was delicious, with generous portions and reasonably priced. Thank you all for making our day so special.

My husband and I both chose filled ciabattas, which were delicious, huge and came with chips and salad. The menu was varied with plenty to suit all tastes. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. We will certainly return to eat there. One point though, I don’t think the purple paint does anything for the pub! Sorry.

Nice traditional pub which has the feel of an old local but cleaner and comfier. The food was a little pricy but is way beyond pub grub and worth the price imo. Good selection of whiskies and Gins too. Great and friendly service with great atmosphere. Big brass last orders bell and a pool table too. Exactly the kind of pub my dad took me to when I was younger. When we got there it was empty too so this could well be one of Swindon's hidden gems! Highly recommended!

Booked a table in advance, arrived a few minutes early and served straight away with drinks then took a seat. Order taken after a short wait allowing us to get settled and after a good explanation of what was on offer. Choice of two roasts for Sunday Lunch. Chicken or Beef. Small, medium or large portions. We were two adults and a child so ordered one chicken medium one beef medium and one chicken small. Medium chicken was a quarter chicken with stuffing and small sausages and a roast parsnip, Yorkshire pud and roast potatoes, beef with two slices and the same but no stuffing or sausages. Vegetables were served separately carrots, cabbage and cauliflower and gravy also separate. Food was very nice, well cooked and served. Desert was syrup pudding and ice cream and portions of three scoops of ice cream A very nice pleasant Sunday lunch on a wet day thoroughly enjoyed.

I have frequented the Fox for many years and through many Landlords. At the moment they are not doing food, normally dishes that would overwhelm the largest of appetites. Right now with Brendan and Debbie manning the place on their own under Covid restrictions it's a haven that is very welcome. To aid capacity they have erected a large Marquee in the car park, put in a one way system and seating rules (break the rules at your peril Deb will see to that). Cosy lounge well spaced and a boozers lounge (proper pub). Go be safe and enjoy.

Lovely little pub! We was in the bar area as you enter, there's a NHS track and trace code also a sign in form if you don't have the app. We was seated and all service was done at the table, they aren't running food at the moment but it's a wonderful place for a drink. 2 beautiful dogs as well. Staff where wonderful service was quick and good value for money.

Always a great selection of good beer and the pizza is good, during the day on a weekday, expect a semi hostile response from the female staff when you interrupt their conversation to order a drink (what was I thinking) sadly this has happened to me on more than one occasion. But it doesn’t put me off going back
