Fox and Hounds in Wakefield

Lovely pub, great choice in drinks.

Great spot for a pint after a walk round the Dam. Clean tidy and friendly, if you are dez and you park in there car park don’t forgot to register your car at the bar. 😉

Although staff are helpful and friendly . We found the food poor quality and taste . We opted for the Sunday Lunch . Roasted potatoes were hard inside , needed longer . The mash potatoes tasted like smash my childhood hate . The veg looked poor and sparse. The stuffing balls was nice though .

Excellent meal. Good choice of food and very well cooked and presented. Generous portions. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.. Would recommend and will definitely go there again.

Eaten here a while ago and was excellent..now as others have said over priced for what you get. £4 for a tiny basket of fries ( must only be 1/3 of a large potato used). World's smallest gravy boat comes with your pie . £18 for a burger with no fries. clear that they are eeeking out a profit on every item whilst increasing the price Shame . If it were pensioners special 2 meals for £15 it would be ok..but not acceptable.

Watch out for parking charges. It's an absolute scam. I couldnt see any signs warning about charges and for staff not to advise about possible charges is disgraceful.

Be very careful about parking charges. Hardly any signs around and no help from any staff advising about any charges. £60 parking fine is just a rip off. No help from any staff at all.

Went on the off chance after doing the shopping. What a beautiful place with the old fashion pub design. The young lady waitress Ali was excellent with her customer services and knowledge of what foods were available with the opportunity of a specials board too. My son went for the adult size fish and chips which only a few chips were left. Myself and partner had the pie of the day which was steak and mushroom with both plates totally cleared. The sticky toffee pudding we all had for dessert was the cherry on top to a beautiful meal in a beautiful place

The Fox and Hounds is a great place for a drink and a bite to eat. Great service and very friendly staff

Fantastic Pub great food and wonderful staff The pub is under new management and is now as good as it gets for quality food and drink Don’t go off old reviews this is now by far the best pub in the area

Have eaten at the fox and hounds a few times now the food was excellent. The new owners are doing a good job

Charged me £8 for a double vodka (not even a good quality spirit) and £2.30 for the mixer. All the draft drinks were flat and in the wrong glasses. The staff was not attentive and there was rubbish all around the outdoor sitting area. Do not waste your money here, go to pledwick

Met friends here for an early lunch there were 5 of us food was very good easy to recommend

Always loved this pub. New people in charge and it's still very welcoming. Looking forward to seeing how the new guys do but on this showing its all going the right way

Lovely meal tonight. Polite and welcoming staff. Chips homemade, always a bonus.

From going in to exiting amazing food staff couldnt ask for more

This is a pub, trying to be à Michelin star restaurant, and charging accordingly. Doesn't work. The menu is very limited, the food is nothing to shout about ( had better in greasy spoon cafes), very ,very, overpriced. Tried it once but DEFINITELY won't be going back.!!!! P.s fetch your own atmosphere !!

Good pub, friendly staff, good beer, haven't eaten here as yet but it looks really nice

Food was mediocre and slow to arrive and expensive for what it was. Very noisy, whistling air con unit outside which made it difficult to have a conversation.

Lovely local pub. Great selection of drinks. Friendly staff. Nice beer garden too.

The price of drinks is outrageous ..much more expensive than neighbouring pubs and the extra revenue definitely hasn’t gone on the decor, the only thing the new owners will be running is the pub into the ground

arrived 1:30pm on wednesday, the pub was almost empty, the lunch menu was limited. the meals ordered were disappointed. the chips were soggy and dark in colour. the bread in sandwich was wet and soggy, not enough salad and chips with sandwich. there was no gravy wirh steak and ale pie, the steak was tiny and dry. fish was just OK. the prawn cocktail was needed more salad.

Do not eat here the food is shocking We didn’t realise this pub sold food and as we couldn’t get in anywhere else stopped to read the menu Sliced pink sirloin on a seeded bap with triple cooked chips sounded nice so we both ordered the same This honestly has to be the worst food I’ve tasted in a long time The beef was certainly not pink it smelt and tasted “ odd” leaving an unpleasant taste The chips were cremated and cooked in what tasted like very old fat The chips came in a Yorkshire pudding Over priced poorly cooked below standard food Left most of it and went Surely you can do better than this ?

Popped in for some food after a walk. Ordered “pink sirloin beef sandwich, with hand cut chips”. To say it was bad is an understatement. Rubbery old beef served in cheap bread, with orange coloured overcooked chips and a Yorkshire pudding. I was starving but barely ate anything, and what u did eat left a disgusting taste in my mouth, like dirty old cooking oil. I literally can’t remember ever having a meal this poor.

We had just arrived in Newmillardam and went for a meal on the chance they were still serving. Beautiful Sunday roast beef lunch with best roast Potatoes I have ever had in a pub lunch.

Really attentive staff and quick service, incredible gammon roast, none of that microwave stuff just lovely home cooked food. Definitely would recommend after a long Sunday dog walk.

Great bar, has a nice welcoming feel to it. Dog friendly, great drinks, good outside area. I can't speak highly enough of this great traditional pub.

Sitting outside having a drink this evening when rats began running over the decking very close to the entrance. I went inside to alert the bar people. There were two of them, one I think is the current manager. I explained what I’d seen. The attitude was not so much laid as totally dismissive. No apology for my distress, no assurances it would be dealt with. This place is filthy outside nowadays,full of cigarette stubs and uncollected glasses on dirty tables. But to be expected to sit and have a drink with rats is totally unacceptable. I wouldn’t have a big of crisps from here and I certainly won’t be going back.

Good service,good selection of drinks no food at the moment,don't know why...it used to be good food....

The service was amazing, as was the food. A big thanks to Ben who couldn't have done more for us. Would highly recommend. Friendly atmosphere too.

Great place for a pint with friendly, efficient staff on hand to help...

Fabulous couple of hours sat in the spring sunshine 🌞

Very tasty Sunday Lunch, service from young staff was impeccable.

Nice traditional pub, dog friendly, good range of beers, food is average.

What a wonderful pub great food great beer ( nice drop of Timothy Taylor’s ) Food was immaculate. Not a complicated menus worth the little bit extra. Staff excellent and ambiance perfect.

Fantastic food, ive tried both the normal and Sunday menu, both are excellent.

Called in today for some food, had a lovely greeting by both staff. We were taken to a table in the restaurant. Ben took our order for drinks and food, both arrived in good time. Great food, and a good laugh with Ben. Will be back

Love this place. The food is amazing. The new owners have worked wonders with the pub 🍻

Attentive and cosy with excellent food.

Stopped before walking in the country park opposite, has its own little car park and attentive staff. Dog Friendly pub, well kept toilets, mixture of locals and walkers inside.

Great pub, polite and friendly staff, great food.

This old pub takes some beating First class service from the friendly staff Fabulous food restaurant quality

Very unpleasant staff, need a lesson in manners

Terrible experience, over 1wait for food

Went to the Fox and Hounds for a Christmas dinner. The food was delicious, the service was good and it was good value for money.

Based upon the reviews we recently looked at, after many years of absence, we visited on Saturday, 2nd December and were greeted by Molly, a very friendly positive character who showed us to our table and ultimately took our order. We found the place to be warm, friendly and comfortable even though it was a very cold evening. We began with the crispy potato skins before moving on to the mains where my wife chose the chicken curry and I had the rump steak which we both really enjoyed. In fact, my steak could have been easily mistaken for a sirloin in that it was very lean, tender and cooked exactly to my request. As the night progressed, we began to appreciate the attention to detail of our lovely host, Molly. We can safely say that we'll be coming back in the near future. PS Very good beer as well.

Only a chicken and bacon baguette bit it was gorgeous.

Dog friendly homely pub with excellent food at reasonable prices. I can particularly recommend the steak and ale pie Good selection of beers/ales on offer

Nice interior. Welcoming and attentive staff. Superb food.

Lovely friendly atmosphere, wide variety of drinks available. Food available didn't eat on this occasion but have previously been good pub grub. Dog friendly, good views, large outdoor area.

I had lunch at the Fox & Hounds with my wife and son. We sat in the conservatory. The food turned out to be better than we had expected and the service was outstanding. Our servers were helpful and very attentive. Recommended.

Nothing for vegans or much for vegetarians

Dog friendly, Great food, great staff. We stumbled across this pub/restaurant and assumed it was Dog friendly, which it was. The food menu was great and the food itself was very tasty and a good portion size. Plenty of drinks options at the bar, and good prices. The staff are really friendly and even came to our table to give an update on the food even without us asking about it, so that was great. My only gripes would be: A lunch menu would be great. The food was delicious, but having a steak at 4pm is quite a lot. They could do with a dog menu, being so dog friendly (we saw about 6 other dogs), providing a menu with dog cream, sausages, and snacks would be great. although mine did like the pork cracklings.

Friendly family atmosphere, dogs most welcome. Great food too!

I had coq au vin blanc which was fantastic, I think it's was a best, tastiest food I ever eat in the UK. Really recommend.

Nice relaxing place,great traditional decor, excellent service,quite pricey

Great place to unwind with some tasty food and a drink, especially if you have just finished a walk around the lake. Definitely recommend 😀🍰

Beautiful food, by far one of the best Sunday dinners I've had.

We had lunch there today, just walking in, so didnt book and was gobsmacked at the value for money food here, it was gorgeous, plentyful and the staff ( young blonde girl) were so helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back!

Lovely pub with amazing food. Food did take an hour to come out but it was understandable, it was busy. Once it did, it came out lovely and warm. I had a halloumi burger and it was gorgeous and so were the fries and onion rings that came with it. Would definitely come here again. 😋👍

Nice food, music bingo Thursday night, great pub 🍻

Limited menu - almost as though they do food but don't want you to eat there. Staff could do with some customer service lessons. Used to come here regularly but don't really bother now as gone downhill. Such a shame

Food was great staff are friendly lovely place

A good pub after a long walk around newmillerdam there is the fox and hounds with plenty of outdoor seating A good choice of drinks We did try the food so can't comment Nice and pleasant staff

Dig friendly, good beer and food.

Fantastic food and service spot on

Me and my husband had our wedding reception here and we couldn't have asked for anywhere better to host it! Liam and his team decorated exactly how we asked it to be! the food was lovely, fresh well presented Liam also took all dietary requirements very seriously and made sure there was food for me to eat as being 'vegetarian' his chef did an amazing job preparing that! The staff who catered for us on the 12th of August was all friendly polite very attentive and always on hand to help if needed! me and my husband would highly recommend fox and hounds for hire and will hire again for future parties anyone who's thinking of hiring you won't be disappointed with this highly skilled team Thanks to all the staff for the 12 of August!!

We spent a lunchtime sat outside in the sunshine having walked round New Miller dam. The food was excellent and they had a good choice of real ale. The staff were friendly and helpful...

Went for a few drinks with the family and sat outside was really nice in the sun and the service was great

Nice pub in the popular, but touristy, lakeside village of Newmillerdam. They do a very reasonable menu of pub grub and the section of craft ales is not bad also. The pub is dog friendly, which is good on the whole, but a popular location for lakeside walks means there can be quite a few dogs in the pub on occasion, and the dogs aren’t always that friendly with each other.

Just had a drink, decent pub friendly staff , will update if I have food.

Great little pub to have a beer

Drinks were ace staff amazing evening was perfect

Good place to have nice food with reasonable price

Called for a few drinks service was great staff really nice and polite. We had a lovely day there.would recommend it to anyone.

Good pub plenty of choice, lots of locals ere would go again.

Been in a couple of times and it's a pleasant place to spend time and the drinks are OK if a tad steep.

Had a walk round the dam and called for lunch. Had the best baguettes ever . I had ham and cheese and my husband had brisket. With the skin on chips and salad it was a super lunch. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Nice place, a very relaxed atmosphere

Love this pub. Always call here after a walk around the dam. We sit outside and watch the world go by. Friendly staff lovely food.

Fantastic food for our wake - thank you. Lovely staff.

Frendy prices were ok and staff are really nice good beer was a nice pip stop

A fantastically homely pub. Well priced traditional looking pub with ample outdoor seating. Lovely place.

Very friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price

Lovely food and extremely well priced. Will definitely be going back.

Excellent food Excellent service pet friendly definitely will return soon

Nice little pub next to newmillerdam to sit out and bask in the sun with a cold drink. Lovely setting

Sunday lunch. excellent service from staff polite and friendly. Food is excellently cooked and fresh tasting. Very good value would have paid more for this quality. Definitely worth a visit

First thing to say is that the portions for food were very generous (never a bad thing). The food was cooked well and the quality of produce was clear. We did order fries but were served skin-on-chips (different items on the menu - not ideal as my wife doesn't like skin-on-chips but I do, and they were nice just not what was ordered). The food arrived quickly (think most were drinking rather than eating and they were all outside in the lovely early evening sun of the Saturday we attended). It was a busy day so the diet coke we ordered came out of a recently restocked fridge and were near room temperate so be sure to get ice. We swapped an item on my meal and this was no trouble at all. Would highly recommend a visit after a walk around Newmillerdam but due to its location parking in the pub car park is like gold dust so be prepared to park in Newmillerdam and pay a small amount for this.

Allways good food and great staff. Lovely country style pub. Reasonable prices. Take you well behaved dog inside. Cheers.

Place is nice but the food I did not like. I ordered something called beefrib or similar. It came with gravy, green pees and potatomousse. The meet was basically 90% fat. Rest was chewy. Pees were ok. Very uninteresting and frankly dissapointing.

Great atmosphere and a cracking pint

Great place for a pint after a nice walk, friendly staff

The food tasted nice but I had lots of broken bits of chicken bone in my chicken which wasn't the best.

Service excellent, food great,will definitely use again.

Great dog friendly pub food lovely has a old-fashioned feel to it will go again

The best this pub has ever been! Friendly staff and a real community pub!

Both my husband and myself had the chicken and leek pie, but unfortunately neither of us like butter and milk in our mashed potatoes so we had to have chips, they came with skins on, which I find disgusting. The carrots were that hard you could not chew them, so that left me with mushy peas and pie at a cost of £13. Definitely will not be going back there again.

Following a lovely stroll around New Miller Dam today, Thursday April 2023 went into this pub (with our dog) and had homemade pie, chips n peas with gravy and mint sauce. Absolutely fantastic meal. Various pie selections to choose from. Thursday is pie night from 4 pm onwards. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

Not been here for many years After a lovely walked around newmillerdam called for a drink & a spot of lunch. Lots of changes to the outside seating area which are now fabulous suntrap. Lunch menu is is varied & great value We'll definitely call again
