Lovely food at a very reasonable price. Very friendly staff and very accommodating. Dog friendly. Have been here a couple of times and will definitely enjoy going there again when we visit our daughter who lives nearby. Sad to say this little gem has now closed down and up for sale 😢 Areal shame for traditional pubs with proper food.

Went for a family meal, there were quite a few of us but in all fairness that didn't seem like any trouble for the staff. Staff were friendly and accommodating and a good laugh. Food was good and a half decent pint too. Well worth a visit.

First visit to what is a lovely cosy pub with a roaring fire & warm welcome. Staff were very friendly, welcoming & helpful … made it a pleasure to be there. Food was good & good value in a challenging time. Would have been 5 stars but my chicken wasn’t hot & we felt the fish portion was small compared to other pubs we have visited. Overall very good & we would re visit/ recommend.

First time visiting here and what a lovely pub it is; inside was nice and large garden areas for dogs and kids. Food menu was great with options not usually on the standard pub menus including lamb chops (lamb lover here) which I obviously opted for. Partner had fish and chips and the chips were divine 👌 proper home made chips!! Really reasonably priced food and great service, would recommend and will return.

After paying £35 for 2 Sunday dinners we received the most appalling customer service you could ever imagine. After missing the extra meat and stuffing on our dinners we were still refused a refund. Despite being well within our rights and travelling 25 minutes there and 25 minutes back for our food, no sign of understanding or care was shown whatsoever. I would give 0 stars if I could and will never be returning. Highly disappointed.

First time last nightReally enjoyed all the food ordered - the steak ciabatta was rare cooked, as requested, the hunters chicken was excellent (great BBQ sauce), the scampi was plentiful and tasty, and the steak sirloin was very good. Even the mushrooms with the steak were better than many recent restaurants. The mushroom sauce was very garlicky, but a good companion to the steak (shame there was no blue cheese sauce, as that would have been even better).What was excellent was how hot all the food was - recently at other restaurants at least one meal was lukewarm, but every single plate was hot.The chips were all good too (not oven chips), so well-done Fox and HoundsWe ordered hot fudge cake and sticky toffee pudding for the teenagers with extra spoons, but the adults barely got a taste as the puddings were devoured.The service was very friendly and attentive, with no delays for drinks or course changes.Now to why this didn't get a 5 star.The restaurant room itself was old fashioned and dark. We eat early and were the first there, so there was no atmosphere, but what was disappointing was the cleanliness of the table (it was very sticky) What was off-putting was that were asked for put a card at the bar for a tab. I have only had to use a card at a tab in a very busy pub in city centres. For a restaurant in the country to ask for a card with a family of four was odd. I chose to pay for drinks individually instead.Well done to the chef for making this special

Have came to this pub a few times now, it’s a lovely place! The food is great, in my opinion the chicken tikka masala is astonishing! Lovely outdoor seating area and there is a great little play area for children. The service is good, there has never really been any issues with my food. I have recently heard that they have opened up a chip shop there as well! I have not tried this yes but I would love to see what it’s like. The only reason I gave four instead of five stars was because desserts are a bit of a hit & Miss! Sometimes they are lovely and there is a variety of things to choose from. Other times they are not amazing and they are lose on stock on quite a lot of stuff. Overall though, I would recommend this pub to any locals or people visiting the area! Amazing place!!!

We had made the decision that after this bankholiday Sunday which was spent mostly and expertly pickling our kidneys and liver, we would stop drinking fir a couple months. After a nice little wander from brynsadler to llanharry, we decided to stop for a coke and some pub grub to soak up the previously mentioned pickle effect !! We ordered the 6 oz beef burger with chips and waited to be possibly disappointed as so often happens in a busy bank holiday Monday! Well.. we were wrong. What we came face to face with was a well cooked and well filled burger with all the trimmings and a generous amount of chips and crispy onion rings. Although the staff looked like they were just out of school/ kindergarten, they were chirpy and upbeat despite being cooked alive by the scorching sun and sweating more pints than were being pulled whilst dressed in black and dealing with a full house!! All round a good couple hours spent to start our no alcohol run... could do with salt in the condiments pot and a shame the coleslaw wasn't available.. but hey ho you can't have it all...Azza

It didn’t disappoint! 5 star ⭐️ The attention to detail and the decor are of a very high standard whilst in keeping with the country pub theme. Service is always so important to me and it stood out at the Fox and hounds from the moment I called to book to the actual visit All staff are excellent but I especially need to mention Taylor who went above and beyond and is a real asset to the establishment. Food was of a very high standard and I’m very fussy All meals were fabulous the kitchen should be proud . Hoping to make this out local and look forward to bringing friends ato visited family to visit confident that they will be impressed too Thank you all a place to be proud of

Sandwiches bulked out with lettuce, tomato and cucumber,then info on the table telling customers, you have an hour at the table unless their not busy,,,more info on the table telling customers if they want the coffee and cake special , which is only on for an hour in the morning you actually only have 45 minutes so they can clear for lunch 😂. So while our sandwiches were ok at £8.50 each,we won't be returning it's not worth the journey to be watching the clock and having the threat of being asked to leave because your time's up at the table
