Sunday lunch with the family. Friendly staff and locals. Wonderful selection of ales and the food was first class. Highly recommended.

Two words Faultless & excellent. Very warm welcome from the waitress, complimented by fantastically prepared food, which was obviously home made. Be a little patient for your order as fresh food does not just heat up. Competitive prices as well. Our number one place to eat from now on.

Absolutely lovely landlord/landlady with very efficient staff. One of the best roast dinners I have had, great selection of vegetables, very hot and delicious and “mums” desert is definitely worth a try (unfortunately you have to be over 18 to try it 🤪)

Considering this community pub is not far from my home, I'm ashamed to say I had never been until last night, and I've been missing out. It is a fantastic pub with friendly locals and excellent friendly and kind staff and excellent food. On a Monday and Tuesday they do an amazingly tasty two or three course menu, very reasonable prices and this menu is changed every month and then the rest of the week they have a pub menu and Sunday lunch on Sunday. I'm mainly driving when I go out so I tend to have a Lime and Lemonade instead of the usual fizzy drinks, it was the best lime and lemonade I've ever had because they didn't scrimp on the lime cordial and even added a lime slice. It's the smallest of details but this made a happy difference to me. The food was excellent, we shared a pudding, all very fresh and delicious 😋 😊 The landlord introduced myself to us which made it feel even more community minded, really taking the time to get to know people. The server lady was lovely and very kind. We will be back for sure and we will bring friends, thank you 😊 x

Lived locally for years but never tried the Fox and Hounds, so went on the off chance of a garden and food, have to say very impressed on both fronts. Garden is well kept with "pods" for the chilly days or evenings, dogs welcomed both outside and in. At present only do a roast on Sunday which we hadn't booked in advance, but Chris the Landlord managed to make space for us and was welcoming and friendly. Food was superb, roast pork and roast beef, with (nearly as good as mine)Cauliflower Cheese :-) Atmosphere here was lovely, staff all friendly and service excellent, the Landlord has exciting plans for the Fox and Hounds, definitely going back to try the weekday menu.

My wife Natalie and I went here for a meal for the first time since Chris & Aimee took over. We were absolutely blown away. Lovely welcome, great busy vibe in the pub. Service was excellent and food was exceptional! We had the halloumi fries and Pork belly to start, steak and chicken burrito for mains, then sticky toffee and chocolate fudge cake for desert. Gutted I missed out on the Toblerone cheesecake (would love to see that as a regular). Anyway, not only were the portion sizes generous but the food was hot, tasty and just ticked all the boxes. Reasonably priced as well. Couldn’t ask for more. Lovely that Chris took the time to walk around and chat to customers. We won’t hesitate to go back and will be recommending it to others! Thanks to Chris, Aimee and the staff for a lovely anniversary meal - look forward to coming back again soon!

One of the best kept secrets in Hampshire. Down a long road in Denmead lays the Fox and Hounds. This was the second visit for my wife and myself but this time with my sister.

Sad to see such a nice pub so quiet on a sunny Saturday lunchtime, there was only one other table when we arrived although garden was busier by the time we left. Service was a bit slow, as appeared to be only one server covering the bar and restaurant. Extensive menu plus a specials board which probably makes little economic sense. Bhaji starter was dish of the day, spicy and delicious but could have served less mango chutney, mains pork belly was tender but a bit heavy on the black pepper sauce, burger and fish & chips were fine especially the chips. Duck off specials board less successful skin wasn't crispy and flesh was grey and tough, raspberry jus needed to be sharper to match richness but dauphenoise was delicious. Banana bread & butter pudding very sweet but light, affogato served in a coffee cup was difficult to eat with a dessert spoon and the hot coffee and cold ice cream should be served together. I would suggest making the liquer optional (at a supplement) and serve with a biscotti or something for texture. The pub has a great reputation for its food, but being so quiet it lacked atmosphere, which is a shame.

An attractive country pub on the outskirts of Denmead with a bar at the front and a restaurant at the rear, connected by open archways. As well as a "standard" menu they have a fairly extensive specials blackboard. The house ales are very tasty, and the food that the 4 of us had was universally acclaimed as very good. The young barmaid also carried out the table service whilst we were there and she was very friendly and efficient. Definitely a pub that we shall re-visit.

After re-visiting after a long time away for a nice evening with food. Unfortunately this was not the case. I have to say the two ladies working on the bar/serving were very nice and polite. The starters were nice but when the main meal of rib eye steak came out covered in peppercorn sauce but totally inedible due to being so salty. When our complaint was reported the chef (who was the landlord which we did not know that at the time) he eventually came to our table and said is there a problem. We informed him about the horrible salty steak, where he then stuck his finger in the sauce and just shrugged and went hmm. Then said what do you want then? His whole attitude towards my wife upset her so much he made her cry! He asked if we wanted a new one which we said yes please. She got a new steak with no sauce as we didn't want to risk it. The food was pretty good but the service was awful. I will be telling all my friends and family direct and on FB not to go there . A sad ending to what could have been a lovely evening meal. The landlord needs to address this otherwise the fox and hounds will lose a lot of business if others get the same service.

My eldest daughter treated my wife and myself to our birthday lunches as we'd been there before and enjoyed it. My daughter booked a table at the restaurant which is at the back as opposed to the bar area. She was advised that there was a large group coming in but just for drinks. This was fine until they all arrived and it wasn't just for drinks, they were having a meeting and discussing plans and as we felt inhibited from talking while this was going on my daughter asked if we could move to the bar area, this request was granted. Orders were taken and I was the only one ordering a starter, my favourite, fried white bait and calamari, followed by cod in batter with chips and a sort of pea pie. The starter arrived and I was surprised to find the whitebait was coated in batter, not seasoned flour. It was OK but the batter did take away the flavour of the fish somewhat. The main courses arrived after I'd finished my starter. My wife had lasagne with garlic bread and a small side salad and my daughter had a vegetarian linguinie with mushrooms and a garlic sauce. My cod and chips arrived but instead of a light, crispy batter over the cod and peas it appeared to be coated in concrete and that's what it felt like. It totally spoilt the meal for me and although I managed to crack the outer casing open it just wasn't fish and chips as I know it. I struggled to eat it but had to leave some but I didn't complain as my daughter had paid for it and I didn't want to disappoint her. My wife and daughter were happy with their meals and in the past I have been happy with mine. I don't know if it was a change of recipe or a change of chef but it certainly wasn't something I want to ask for in future.

Went to Fox and Hounds for a birthday meal with my family. Food was amazing - greatly surpassing all other pubs and restaurants I have been to in the area. I strongly recommend the specials, which have been very imaginatively thought through with quality ingredients: lamb cutlets and mint gravy was fabulous, and the other members of my party enjoyed theirs too. An added bonus is that it is very good value for money. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was great. Would thoroughly recommend this pub to anyone.

Four of us ate at the Fox and Hounds for lunch recently. The food was delicious all four of us agreeing it was a very good meal indeed.The reason I have given four stars rather than five, is because the service was rather slow, waiting far too long for coffees after the meal, taking the shine off what was a very good lunch. We will certainly visit the pub again soon as I'm sure things will be better.

In a party of five, myself and one other had the Sunday roast pork option. The amount of pork provided was minimal and very fatty.. The board indicated the meal would be served with greens, red cabbage and carrot/swede mash. There was a small dollop of carrot/swede and stacked with the red cabbage was the greens... green cabbage.

Dined here for a joint family birthday on the back of other family members experience and glad we did too. The pub has a modern take on the traditional country pub decor but still remains cosy and welcoming. Pretty busy for a Thursday night so a nice ambience. A varied menu with a very good choice on the specials board left me the problem of having too much choice to choose from, opted for the chicken nasi goering as it's unusual to see on a pub menu. Really glad I did as it was delicious, perfectly spiced. Only criticism would be that the crispy poached egg on top could've been runnier. Everyone else's meals were spot on, the steak and Stilton pies being no the standout dishes. Puds were good and we had good, prompt service throughout. Doombar was in excellent condition.

Visited twice recently after a 3 year gap. The food is nice, it’s a nice pub nicely done out. Prices and choice all ok, except...The recent 2nd visit saw two of us opt for the G&T; jelly dessert, which was a huge disappointment. Why put this on the menu if you are not going to deliver? The jelly was ok, but a really measly measure of ice cream (not even a scoop, just a scrape), topped off with a lone strawberry. Definitely not worth the price, so avoid if you visit. a shame as the other courses were all fine.

Went for a birthday celebration meal and wish we had stated home. Should have realised when I phoned to book and got a rather gruff and abrupt response saying "just turn up and you should be ok". On arrival got the same reception from man at bar although a young lady who was rushed off her feet was more friendly. Not impressed with food either, chips were really overdone and selection was not great especially for vegetarians. Will not be going back.

Visited for Saturday lunch with family - bar area unexpectedly empty but very few staff so greeting was a bit off hand. 5 people were made to sit at a table suitable for 4 in an almost empty room. However waitress was friendly and drinks promptly brought. Good choice on menu plus specials board. Décor is quirky/shabby chic but very clean including toilets.

This is a lovely pub very well maintained and clean 8of us when there for a meal we all had to agree that it was some of the best food. We had eaten out in a long time all home made and nothing to much trouble to make sure our meal was as we wanted it . So if you want a good home style cook meal give it. A go you won’t be disappointed.

We visited the Fox & Hounds for a family lunch in the summer and vowed to return for dinner. We made a reservation for later but before we could visit we received a phone call advising us that they had a party of 80 for the restaurant but we could eat in the bar area or we could cancel. We decided to cancel and book a later date. When we called to book again it was a Wednesday and they had a group of banjo or ukalalie players in the restaurant but there was room it the bar area, must remember that Wednesday night is music night. We arrived early to make sure we could park, this appeared to be a good idea. Service was good and so was the menu. I noticed that my comment on TA about lack of vegetables with my meal had been addressed, so they do read the reviews and act upon them.

My wife, son and I were looking for a country style pub that served a decent Sunday lunch as our cooker had just turned up it's toes. Searching the reviews we decided on the Fox and Hounds, we were not disappointed the meal was served fast by friendly staff and the portion my wife had was twice as much as she normally eats ( my son and I done the gentlemenly thing and baled her out). I had Topside of Beef which was really tender. We will be going back for seconds in the near future.

4 friends had a Saturday evening meal there. We had a pint to start with a starter, main meal and a sweet all came to £104. Not cheap but worth it as the food was good, served on warm plates and all together. by charming staff. bar has a good selection of ales.

We were really looking forward to having a meal here after reading the reviews. The pub itself was nice with a friendly feel but the food let it down. The Hampshire rump steak was fatty and chewy, the chips weren’t crispy and the pepper sauce was poured over everything. Everyone who had the steak felt the same. The belly pork was also not a hit, we would not go back.

Dropped in last week with our contractors who treated us to lunch, was surprised to find for a Sunday lunch that the place was almost empty.

What a lovely find. Food was fab. My Sister in law had the salmon and I had the steak and stilton pie both delicious. Reasonable prices. The lady behind the bar was very friendly and helpful. Very nice atmosphere. And as for the Ladies loos, probably the best decorated pub loos in the country. Fab fab fab

Food cooked with love by Kieran. We have not had a bad meal here. Always receive a friendly welcome by Steve and his team. The food is restaurant quality and imaginatively presented. We love it as do many other regulars.

My sister and I walked out of our way to this pub especially after a long walk, as recommended by my sister who has previously visited. Let's just say we were highly disappointed.

Have never been disappointed here. Have taken many friends and everyone has enjoyed. Back restaurant area can get noisy,but guess if there's a large group this can happen anywhere . You will need to book.

We booked to come here tonight for my 40th birthday meal. On arrival there was plenty of parking and everything inside was how we hoped it would be. A beautiful little country pub with an open fire burning away ,very friendly attentive staff. We were a party of 7 and all our drinks came promptly and each meal came out together so nobody was left waiting. The food was beautifully served, fresh and hot. I have no pictures to add unfortunately as we got stuck straight in to enjoy it. I'm very grateful to our servers this evening and our compliments to the chefs. We will certainly be coming back again. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

The service was very poor. I asked for hot chocolate with pistachio and the guy just gave me normal chocolate dr8nk. I double checked before taking the drink and he confirmed that pistachio is in there. Paid and got deceived - no pistachio ☹️
