Fox And Hounds in South Kesteven

All of the meals were excellent. steaks were cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and all of the staff were very welcoming.

Great motorhome stopover and great value quality food.

Perfect for lunch,dinner and light bites,great food parking and lovely staff 1 and not expensive for the high quality all round expirience..highly recommended,great parking and Sunday Carvery to be the jewel in the crown from 1200 and booking advised.

First time I’ve visited in a while. Huge improvement from last time I came, staff were all really friendly. Food was incredible!

The food was fine but the service and time taken for part of our party was awful. We had booked a table for 5 (including highchair for 2 year old at 5pm. We ordered separately at the bar. The first 2 meals were served within 30 minutes and we expected the other meals soon afterwards, especially as we had a toddler who was hungry. The first 2 meals were finished, with toddler eating some of the chips. Others who arrived after we had ordered received their food and it was well over an hour after the food was ordered that the final 3 meals arrived. The place was not busy at all so why the long wait and orders being served out of turn? The pub felt cold as there was no heating on other than in the toilets. Staff seemed to be lacking and no one came round after the food was served to ask if everything was ok

Not good on a Monday afternoon, fruit and veg selection very low.

Sunday carvery only - not informed of this wanted main menu Food served until 2pm and pub closed at 2.30pm. Booking was for 1.45pm til 3.45pm (booked online)

Had dinner tonight. Food was amazing, great value for money staff really friendly. Met the chef Shannon..her fish and chips was delicious. Will be back to try more of the menu 😁

Was here on Wednesday and ordered food. It was amazing and was quick. Thank you to lisa,jess for making me feel welcome you both are amazing at you job

Great staff provided a friendly welcome. Lunch was served promptly and was very good overall - our party all ordered something different and were all served together. Quiet when we visited around Noon. Would recommend 👌

Absolutely fantastic place,dog friendly,great,friendly service and fantastic Long Island ice teas

This pub was kind enough to let us stay here last here last night in our motorhome on the way down south from Yorkshire. We had a hearty burger which was very tasty & a very peaceful night sleep tucked in the corner of their carpark. Happily come here again, staff were lovely & very welcoming. Thanks again 👍

Food excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Enjoyable experience had by all .

Very good Sunday lunch carvery. Dog friendly so all good.

New management, tasty food ( not many vegan options), friendly staff.

Had a wonderful time with my family. Food was great. A bit of wait on food but that's expected since we went Saturday night. Overall would recommend!

Food and service great, atmosphere relaxed. The only negative was the fact that all beer/ale pumps were not working or beer was not right (bar persons explanation). I would visit again with family, but please sort pumps out as these are a staple for any country pub, particularly with a Sunday lunch - 8/10.

Went in for a drink and meal by myself. The staff were smiley and chatty. They didn't mind me sitting at the bar to have my meal and drink as I was on my own. The food was great, just what I needed after a long day at work. Nice big portion of salad and Halloumi, side of southern fried chicken which was perfectly cooked. Really enjoyable and good value for money. Chatted to the bar staff which was nice. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere all round.

Jess and Charlie were amazing chefs, food was delicious! would fully recommend going here for a meal with family. staff are rlly sweet :)

Booked a table for lunch online, which was very easy to do. The pub was clean and very homely. The lady and young lad who served us were both friendly and helpful. The food was plentiful and delicious and my 5oz steak was one of the best I've ever had. My friend had a mixed grill and couldn't eat it all as there was so much food. There were some great deals on wine and cocktails and I wished I didn't have to drive. We will definitely go for lunch again.

Would give them 0 stars if I could Staff unhelpful had booked party of 7 people when arrived was told sit where you like had to find a table and extra chair sat in the conservatory. Had drinks ordered food on looking up conservatory blinds stained and dust and flies behind them same in lampshade floor dirty . Waited over 30 mins for starter when sharing platter arrived was burnt dry and cold .No way could the chicken have been Temperature probed you couldn't get a fork in it. Men's toilets closed Grandson had to use the disabled one Urine on the floor . We refused the starter got all our money back and left . This was a Birthday party group . Oh then Bingo in the conservatory we weren't told that when we arrived. Evidently the Chef has left we learnt . Was a 4 point score from food hygiene in March 2024 . Suggest they visit again,that Conservatory wants knocking down or given a thorough clean Staff not helpful at all .

Lovely village pub and grub. Friendly and helpful staff. Food was divine. Definitely recommend.

Since new management me and my friends decided to visit the fox and hounds at old somerby and the food was fantastic , beautifully cooked meals for each of us and the service was so friendly and welcoming, I highly recommend going there with friends or family for deliciously cooked meals and a wide range of variety, we will definitely be going again . Well done to all at the Fox and Hounds .

Booked a table for a birthday celebration. Went to the bar and said who we were, to be told that they don't bother about bookings and to sit anywhere. We were a party of 7, so had to sort out our own tables. Ordered food, after 40 mins I went to the bar & asked about how long they'd be, they were brought out burnt & cold. The conservatory was absolutely filthy, stale food on the floor and chairs, menu's were stuck with sauce etc. The staff's attitude was disgusting and lacking in customer service, the lady behind the bar looked like she had been gardening!! Won't be returning. Certainly needs a good clean & staff training needs looking at!!!

I wanted to write this review after reading the last one. I completely disagree with that persons comments. The staff were lovely, kind, attentive, welcoming, respectful, friendly, accommodating, thoughtful. Food was great. From app order to plate delivery was super speedy. I can’t comment on the atmosphere as when I visited it was very quiet. Thank you for being so kind to my dogs and I :)

Food not good hot chocolate very waterery would not come back again

It was quiet but the staff didn’t seem in any hurry to do anything including serve you. There was a distinct lack of beer selection ( Tuesday afternoon) there reason being they’d had an event on Saturday and we’re still waiting for a delivery. That said, staff were friendly enough prices seemed very reasonable and the food was very nice. Overall a good experience

Where to begin. Honestly the only reason why I have given service a 2 star and not a 1 is because there was a young waitress and waiter who was very apologetic and all round very friendly. However, The other older waitress was very rude and had an attitude which me and my family did not appreciate at all. We waited well over an hour for cold and a poor of an effort food to put it nicely. The chips were very salty and stone cold my grandma couldn’t even finish eating it because it was so salty, there was no lemon with our fish/ scampi, same with the coffee, onion rings and garlic bread, the photo of the burger speaks for itself (the onion ring that was supposed to be in the burger wasn’t and we had to order a side!) . I can’t even say that it was busy because there was 6 tables in use, 3 of which ordered after us. The rude waitress said reserved tables take priority when in actually fact we reserved the booking in the first place! And just to top it off there was a mouse running around my feet and under the table plus a few flies flying around our drinks and food! Honestly so so disappointed with the food, lack of communication mainly. Definitely not worth the money. Also barely any veggie options so wouldn’t go if you are, luckily I am pescatarian so had scampi.

Fantastic evening great selection of food service outstanding from all staff especially Sue Healey thanks for a great evening fox and hounds 🤩

My first visit, but certainly not my last. Really enjoyable

What a lovely place for a Sunday carvery. Food was delicious and all freshly cooked. Service quick and friendly. Prices are very reasonable too. Would highly recommend.

Booked a room for a family event. Buffet food ok but no plates or serviettes provided, which I thought was a bit off.

Best restaurant round Grantham, best value and great food and staff

Wonderful service, amazing atmosphere and lovely staff

Very disappointed with the new menu setup of Carvery only before 2pm on a Sunday, expecially when the go for a carvery to find the beef tough, frozen vegetables and instant mash, not to mention cold. I certainly won't be returning or recommending. This wouldn't have happened in Joe's day

We stopped last night in our motorhome. Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely food (reasonably priced) and dog friendly. We had a nice peaceful night tucked up in the top of the car park, I would definitely recommend!

Excellent meal today everything was spot on

A lovely country pub, part of a chain that needs some love.We have tried this place several times,during the 6 yrs of living near. It needs a heart it needs love it needs the staff to care about ever aspect. Flowers in summer, Fires in the winter, and gravy that doesn't stick like (imagination).Never give up I'll try again next time it changes owners.

Dog friendly and staff are very friendly would definitely return 👍

Great place for a meal and a quiet drink, at a great price. Everyone was very helpful, and we enjoyed the food. Look forward to going there again.

Just awful. Had the Gyrow, very poor. A few small pieces of chicken, some salad, mint dressing and chips. Honestly could do better food in Asda Cafe. No real distinguished taste and the wrap was so tough couldn’t cut or chew ir.

Stopped off for a drink, whilst on a motorbike route. Great location for a stop, plenty of outdoor seating.

Had an amazing Sunday dinner. Delicious and very good value for money. Will definitely eat there again. The pub has a lovely atmosphere, staff are friendly and helpful. Loads of room to sit outside as well. Highly recommend

First visit and sadly the last. Husband had fish and chips and the fish was very thin. My gammon was the flatest I have ever had and cooked to the point of being dry. The dark haired lady with her hair tied back, collected the plates and didn't bother to ask if everything was ok. And the least said about the smell in the gents loos, the better. It's a shame because it's a lovely pub. Oh and maybe invest in some napkins

No steak.no gammon. No sizzle meals. Curry too hot. Short staffed

Good experience nice food helpful friendly staff would go again

First ever visit to this sizzling pub today, had a lovely meal for lunch and was made to feel welcome from the minute we entered. Lots of choices on the menu, a few deals to choose from especially if you have the sizzling app. Nina the new manageress went the extra mile to accommodate my meal requirements. Upon leaving i met the chef and other ladies that were working and all had a smile on their faces. Will definitely go again and would recommend for a meal if your passing through 😊

We had a lovely meal tonight, very fast and friendly service from Sue and Lisa thankyou ladies we will definitely be back soon 👌👌

Always great food and quick service. Love this place

Dropped in for the first puppy outing to have food. Dog made very welcome even though he was a little restless. Food was good we arrived late on just before kitchen shut.

I had been recommended to visit by a friend. To be honest I was a bit disappointed. The food was nice although we did ask if carvery was still on with a reply it's only what's left over there!. The restaurant felt a bit unloved. Plus tables not cleared. One of the waiting staff had a sweatshirt tied round his waist whilst serving. Went to bar to order more drinks. Service was slow. Also member of staff at end of bar eating their lunch. So overall food nice but probably wont be back.

Staff and drinks were fine. There were 4 in our party we all had something different. We visited a couple of years ago and the food was excellent, the food this time was best described as poor. Almost everything was over cooked to the point of cremation and everything not over cooked was cold. Food service was slow so we did not complain as did not want to wait another 30mins. Restaurant was half empty. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

Mains were over cooked and not great in general but deserts were decent. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Good menu choice; burgers good as is the fish, scampi, chips, and steak others had. Service was good, food good. Not very busy but fully booked for Fathers Day. Can recommend. Plenty of car parking and seating outside as well

Made very welcome looked after well yummy food

Highly recommend it, delicious food, huge portions, very nice service, from now on one of my favorite places. 5☆☆☆☆☆

- Impressed. Great atmosphere, great food and drinks. Good value for money. - Most of all staff were really friendly and helpful.

The food is awful, the place is dirty, zero service, defo not coming back. Steak was over cooked, no cutlery or napkins. Dirty tables

Thank you for your hospitality today.

Weary travelers passing through the area, good food, good service, nice atmosphere.

I was in a large party of people. Some elements of my food was a bit dried out, however the rest of the party had excellent food. The staff were extremely welcoming. I would definitely return.

Stop pre-cooking it end's up being overdone which makes it tasteless the only thing on my mixed grill that wasn't was the steak and it was cold not even warm and the chip's with my grandson's burger was really cold, l could tell you were really understaffed as I couldn't believe the amount of tables that was left full of pot's I really hope you do sort thing's out as it should be an ideal place to eat out

The chefs uniform looked like it needed a good wash and she looked grubby .Food my Sizzling Tandori chicken with Veg and rice Over cooked veg ,dry chicken and horrible hard dry rice ,Yoghurt was poured over the dish so was hot when I got it .Husband had mixed grill, Steak you could sole your shoes with mushrooms Shrivelled,dry and cold .All in all terrible so won't be back .

Can't think anything was great. The welcome was mediocre. The table was reserved but the place was empty, no other option given. The food was hot but bland. I had the cajun salmon - no cajun taste at all and the chips were frozen plain chips no taste at all. My daughter had hunters chicken her description was it was OK and her chips like mine were tasteless and slightly under cooked. No salt on the table. Won't be in a rush to return. Has been a few years since last went and I think it will be at least a few years before I go again.

Food good beer 🍻 also helpful and friendly staff clean and welcoming Keep up good work

Had a family meal here, table was double booked . Service incredibly slow, waited 20 minutes for drinks to be served as we ordered at the table. Food was very late arriving and delivered to the table at different times. I will not be returning.

Perfect Lovely food, lovely staff And great prices

Excellent Pub , Good food. Large car park . Very nice staff.

We were there wednesday, 10 april teatime, once again the food was great, i love their fishn chips, himself had his favourite gammon, all our friends were very happy with theirs, next time i am having the mac n cheese, love this pub, love the atmosphere, the staff are always helpfull and friendly, there were three birthdays going on and the staff were handling it beautifully.

As an American I'm an expert at Mac and Cheese tasting. I got to say Fox and Hounds has the best I had anywhere in the UK. Also love their beer batter mushrooms. It was like having a bit of America here. Oh and the staff was slammed last night but so professional and friendly. Always look forward to our monthly Steampunk meet ups there.

Although the food we got was nice .. they didnt have a large steak or mushrooms .. they missed one mixed grill from our order and no tea or coffee for after..?? How is that possible?? And we requested a table in the conservatory and even rang up about this , but didn't get to sit there , we got right next to the front door !.. The staff were lovely .

Great dinner friendly staff generous portions for dessert. Definitely be back soon, thank you

Lady on bar was miserable When asking for some food items and they didn’t have any in there was no apologies just a straight face ‘we don’t have that’ We had booked a table with two high chairs but the table wasn’t ready so we had to sort ourselves out with high chairs. Kids had pasta garlic bread and corn, pasta water and corn juice tasted horrible like the water there wasn’t nice. The gentlemen was lovely but we wouldn’t be rushing back

Where to start? No bacon for hunters chicken. No onion rings to go with steak. Ordered a steak sauce which I had to ask for and even then it arrived after I had finished my meal. Chicken came out cold, waited 40 minutes for replacement before asking for a refund. Wait for food stated 20 minutes more like an hour. Cobwebs on wall! 0-10 wouldn’t recommend!

Food was amazing. Staff very friendly. Would highly recommend it. Fantastic menu and not expensive

"Fantastic experience at The Fox and Hounds! Enjoyed a delightful meal and breakfast, with incredibly polite staff. Loved that it's dog-friendly too! Stayed overnight in our campervan, nice quiet Highly recommend!"

Peas cold chips cold told waiter didn’t seem bothered six dogs roaming all over the place won’t be going back

Very nice clean pub, good food at affordable prices. Bar staff helpful, recommended

We booked a 15 seat table for my mams birthday. We all ate different meals but everyone of us was complaining of a upset stomach and was displaying vomiting and/or diarrhoea all the next day. I've been here many times before in the past and food was satisfactory but I will not be returning due to not wanting to risk of further illness from the food that is being serviced nowadays

Went for breakfast, food was 10/10. Staff lovely and very welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

The great friendly welcome, the politeness off all the staff

Staff ignorant, very slow service, venue cold. We pre ordered a week ago but they drastically increased the price on the night! Food lukewarm and lacking in flavour - even the salt was rationed!

Placed in a beautiful village, it's a great place for a pint after a tiring day at work or a meal with your friends or family. There's quite a choice of meals, meals are decent size for a very good price however (and unfortunately) quite bland in taste. Very friendly and helpful staff. The place in general is big, there are plenty of tables, both indoors and outdoors.

Food was lovely. A little wait on puddings but was a very busy day. Staff where very helpful as we have fussy child and he was very happy and eat the lot. So it must have been good.

The young server was amazing very polite and helpful with fussy eaters on our table .the food was lovely especially the carvery meat was very moist vegetables were lovely and gravy not to thin the way I like it

Food and service excellent throughout our evening

A beautiful friendly family pub. The food is fantastic and excellent value plus both the staff and the locals are most welcoming.

Visit here regular, Good value for money, Nice food, Quick service. Friendly staff. We love a good sizzler.

The family met to celebrate mums life and we spent 7 hours in the pub with an open bar tab and the staff was great we also ordered food from the daily menu and this was served in a timely manner. Thank you from us all for helping us all to get together to celebrate our mums final goodbye .

Lovely food,staff were great.10/10

Stop in for some lunch today, and being new to the area all where very welcoming and polite. The food was very nice and came at a good pace. I will definitely be back in the future, many thanks from table 2

Really nice polite staff that welcomed us. Food was on point and a really home comfy vibe

I made a mistake when ordering, the staff were very understanding and was Happy to change my meal. Will definitely come back again

Husbands birthday and had a big group but all meals came out together and food was excellent

It was a lovely find. The cosy atmosphere and food was delicious too.

Xmas day was a shambles to say the least,food and service awful and that's being kind

We had a very pleasant visit & meal on our return from a lengthy visit overseas.

We arrived on time and were seated promptly. After getting our drinks I asked for the boxing day menu to be told it had been cancelled due to staff sickness. Nobody had told us this before or contacted us to tell us in advance as I would have cancelled. The only option to eat was a carvery, that was it! The food was luke warm at best, the veg was inedible and the vegetarian Wellington had been reheated in the microwave as it was very hot on the outside and cold in the middle. Two out of three had a sundae for dessert. Midway through the meal, the managers dog came over and threw up right next to my foot. The manager, who did clean it up right away, gave no apology for this. With food and drink we spent around £50 but never again. I thought with a new manager that things would be turning around after the last disaster but, NO they haven't. I'll stick to the Muston Gap Inn which is 10/10 and owned by the same company!! We will never be back.

Thank you to everyone working yesterday (Christmas day) We ( table of 5) really had a lovely time. Everything was spot on, the right amount of time between courses, a merry atmosphere among the tables we sat near. Definitely will be booking for next year. We all hope you enjoyed your Christmas day when the pub closed. Happy New year to you all.🎄🎅😁

I visited on the Saturday the 23rd with my family ordering 3 meals and 2 children’s meals. The food had taken so long to come the 8 year old fell asleep at the table by the time the food come she didn’t eat it! All the meals were cold, the gammon I ate was undercooked which has now resulted in me having to ring in sick for work and being sick over Christmas, missing money from work, missing time with family and feeling terrible. I noticed that on the 2nd of September you had stated on Facebook that you were now fully staffed and trained which I believe is not the case. I am seriously concerned for anyone else eating this food and would definitely recommend the managers to have some better understanding on food safety! Only bonus is Steve and the young girl with brunette hair were friendly and had great customer service skills.
