Fox & Badger Inn, Wellow, Nr. Bath in Isle of Wight

Very welcoming pub, excellent choice of food and well prepared. The beer was well kept, priced reasonably. No music, no distracting TV, pleasant proper English pub in beautiful village. Very pleasant landlord. What more can you ask for!?

The food and service are consistently good. Sadly the dog situation is getting worse. This time an exasperated customer was 'dog shouting' (his term) in protest. This added to the maelstrom of barking, yapping, whineing, sprawling, lungeing and lethally long leads. It was difficult to enjoy our very good lunch and have a conversation. We have owned and enjoy the company of well behaved dogs. I don't like asking for the 'discretionary' service charge to be removed but it was asking too much, after our experience, when it was already on the bill. I doubt that many of us will return again or recommend until we hear on the grapevine that this problem has been addressed in some way.

Excellent Sunday Lunch and Friendly service. The roast potatoes alone are worth the visit! Highly recommend, not the cheapest but worth every penny and good size portions. Really lovely, thank you all at Fox and Badger. We will be back

We were out for lunch for a birthday treat. Wow, this place fitted the bill. We both had scallops to start and I didn't want to take my last bite as it would mean the starter was over. My partner had the pork tomahawk chop which he told me was delicious. I am not a vegetarian, but the tart tartin of the day was tomato and goats cheese so I was sold!! Fantastic meal, and attentive staff. Totally great experience. I highly recommend this place fir a meal and can guarantee that we will be returning.

Really enjoyed our time at this pub. The owner and staff were very attentive and the quality lunch was great value . Look forward to visiting again.

We’ve known the F&B as a really fab pub with a great atmosphere. Chose to go there for the rare meal out we can afford and were shocked at the bill. Food was ok and tasty but very ordinary with mass produced chips that were somewhat overcooked. It was £18.50 for a burger with cheese and bacon, which as I said, was tasty but absolutely nothing unusual or extraordinary about it. BUT the worst thing was that 10% compulsory service charge was added to the bill! When you look at a village pub menu you are not looking for information about compulsory service charges… or is this the way we public ate now being taken - for mugs? That ordinary burger ended up costing over £20. Since when have we Brits acquiesced to this ‘compulsory’ service charge in one of our little country pubs? We didn’t find out it was compulsory until we got home and checked the ridiculously costly bill. One assumes that bringing one’s food to the table after it has been ordered is what would be normal and expected service? Sadly we won’t be eating there again and I fear we will be not able to afford this already almost prohibitive pastime if this is the way that the country’s eating places are now going to behave… hence the inevitable slow continued demise of village pubs. Sad.

This pub was fantastic! Charles and joe were brilliant! Friendly locals and they got me absolutely hammered on Mexican water.. thank you Charles! You’ve been amazing! (Joe barmaid) see you soon! ❤️❤️

Great lunch after hiking around Wellow. Had the burger which was top quality and so tasty. Service was good and friendly. Many thanks

A first rate English country pub. Charming bar. In the centre of a pretty village. Good service. Friendly welcome. Excellent food. Traditional hand drawn beers. Homemade puddings. Custard available. What else is there to say?

We came with a group of friends for our Christmas get together. We preordered which saves a lot of mucking about and being indecisive! Absolutely yummy roast lamb and delicious cheese boards for me. Everyone’s plates were clean and all puddings demolished! The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, the staff are attentive and we were not rushed by them at all which so many places want your table for the next lot. We will definitely come back, thank you

We had a fabulous group lunch at this lovely pub. My wife and I had eaten here a few times and decided to have our walking group's Christmas Lunch here this year. I cannot praise these guys enough - the food was excellent and the cheerful, friendly and professional service from Becki and Tommi really made us feel welcome and special. The chef, Jason, created the most amazing dishes worthy of a top London restaurant. It was just a super flawless dining experience - Thank you

We were given a jug of iced water with lemon whilst waiting for our friends to arrive. They shared baked Camembert with pickle and lovely looking bread. We had crab on sourdough toast. Very good. Then two had the fish finger sandwiches which were very reasonably priced and looked delicious but were hard to eat without getting very messy. I had steak sandwich with chips at £14.50. Unfortunately the steak was fatty, grisly and in some parts very rare, almost raw. I couldn’t bite through it and so took it out and cut it up as best I could but even the knife wouldn’t cut through parts of it. So, unfortunately not a good experience. The bits I could eat were nice with a good flavour from the grill. Nice pub with interesting menu.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Sharing platter and Roast Sirlion cooked to perfection Much better than the unspecified beef offered in some pubs Friendly helpful staff Will visit again

We stopped in for lunch while out walking and enjoyed delicious fish finger sandwiches! Also great cider and friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended!

After a 6 mile walk around the area, we planned to end with a pint and pub meal at this well used local pub. From start to finish, the hospitality was excellent, as was the food. Can’t wait to revisit!

Delightful village pub with great beer. There are tables outside if it’s sunny and inside there was a real fire making it lovely and cosy.

My family and I visited after walking several miles from a neighbouring village. We were hoping to get a spot of lunch but were told that as we hadn’t booked there were no tables left and the kitchen were taking no further orders. That would have been understandable if not for the fact that there was a further 25 minutes of serving time and reserved tables remained unoccupied. We stayed to have a drink outside but upon leaving which was long after serving had supposedly finished, we noticed a family who I can only assume were known to the staff that had managed to order food with no reservation. Very disappointing and we won’t be returning. There are plenty of good alternatives nearby.

Excellent quality, good restaurant standard, particularly the lamb special. Polite, friendly and prompt service and seems to be popular with locals. Would very happily visit again if we lived a bit nearer but unfortunately we were just passing.

Really amazing old English pub with great staff, incredible fireplace and food that exceeded expectations. Fishfinger sandwich was made with completely fresh ingredients, giving a light/non greasy feeling and full of flavour. Would definitely recommend!

Pub that has been around for a while and is popular with cyclists and walkers. It has seating outside at the front by the road Prices for drinks are reasonable The do food and it is popular and you will need to book for this

A much longer and more arduous walk than expected resulted in us missing our Sunday lunch booking at a nearly pub. Finding ourselves outside the Fox and Badger we thought we’d give it a go and see if they had any availability, not expecting for...

This was my first time eating at the Fox and badger, the pork belly I had was faultless. The service was excellent, and the pub was comfortable and friendly. I will be coming back.

Our weekly treat is dinner at the F&B. We are always warmly welcomed and the food is always exceptional. Always a good selection of specials on hand. Delightful hosts and a great atmosphere. It’s the perfect ending to the hard graft week! If I could...

Wonderfu friendly welcome and attention outstanding. Food cooked perfectly and very good value for money

Visited this pub recently and while it looked like a nice place the hygiene was disgusting... which is really surprising after all the recent lockdowns, etc. My advice is put your health ahead of your stomach and avoid this place... by far more than 2...

Went with my wife as we were on holiday in a nearby village. The food was delicious, not cheap but always happy to pay a premium for quality. The real ale was spot on and the pub looked like it had a really good vibe...

We went for a beautiful local walk around Wellow on Friday, which we had not done for a while. At the end we were not expecting any opportunity for refreshment under the current restrictions. However the Fox and Badger is open for a limited takeaway...

We concur with Leigh Hooper about the rudeness of the staff and can only presume she was the manager, or surely she would have been sacked! We arrived for lunch yesterday and picked up a menu to look at it. Whereupon a woman snatched it...

Just love this pub/ resaraunt. Always a fire burning when it's cold and a fabulous home cooked menu for everyone including vegetarians and very accommodating for individual dietary requirements. The other thing is that the wine by the glass selection is better than expected for...

Avoid avoid avoid. Staff, including manager, are very very rude. Pub was busy but its a very small pub so how many people can that actually be?! Absolutely awful. Please do yourselves a favour and book elsewhere for overpriced mediocre food. Shame it ever changed...

My first choice for eating out in the Bath area. Whether with family or friends. great menu with a good variety of creative dishes. All perfectly executed with top quality local ingredients. They have a chef who really knows his foodAdd to that the friendly convivial atmosphere, of a traditional English country pub, a decent selection of ales, including different guest ales. Ticks all the boxes for me, and my family and friends.

Came on this by accident when visiting the nearby Neolithic Long Barrow and what a lovely surprise! £12.95 for an excellent two course lunch. When we asked what was the "soup of the day", which can be boring, we were given a choice of two!...

Eating here is like eating in France. Excellent ingredients prepared and combined in such a way that they speak for themselves and are simply delicious. Ate perfectly cooked lamb with garlic gnocchi which I won’t be forgetting for a long time. Succulent. Tried the treacle tart and sticky toffee pudding for a dessert, both were great but the treacle tart was exceptional. Excellent value for money. We drank a very decent Malbec and the service was spot on (we loved chatting with the lady who served us and who shared that she works in the pub as a rest from her five kids! She really took care of us). Heartily recommend this place.

Entró con mi esposo para un almuerzo rápido. Fue agradable tener un buen fuego en las chimeneas a la llegada en un día frío. Ambos fuimos por el menú fijo a las 12. 50. Ambos tuvimos lo mismo: una deliciosa sopa de verduras asadas de arce (servida con un gran pan). Luego los dos comimos el estofado de caza con bola de masa de hierbas. Gran salsa, deliciosas bolas de masa hervida y una variedad de juegos. Todo muy bueno. Lo visitaré de nuevo.

Reservé una mesa para un almuerzo tardío el domingo como celebración familiar de cumpleaños. El pub fue extremadamente servicial, agregando un asado vegetariano que estaba delicioso. ¡Aquellos que comieron el rosbif dijeron que era lo mejor que habían tenido! Descubrimos que tanto el personal como los clientes son extremadamente cálidos y acogedores con nosotros como no locales. Sin duda lo recomendaría.

Después de perdernos un poco en nuestra caminata y avanzar para decir que llegaríamos un poco tarde, nos recibió una cálida bienvenida y sonrisas amistosas. La selección local de cerveza de barril (ish) es excelente, al igual que la comida (almuerzo del domingo y otros platos principales) y el servicio.

Brillante noche en el F & be para el cumpleaños del esposo esta semana. Nosotros y nuestra familia / amigos fuimos muy bien atendidos por el equipo, especialmente Alice, que nos cuidó durante la noche. Tuvimos una fabulosa selección de platos para compartir que todos disfrutaron y fueron muy complementarios, muchas gracias.

Éramos un grupo de nueve en un WET caminando 3 días y llamamos a este pub como nuestra parada a la hora del almuerzo. No es necesario quitarse las botas, aunque no estaban embarradas. Antonia nos recibió con una sonrisa encantadora y felizmente señaló las diferencias de las cervezas de barril en exhibición. Todos pedimos almuerzos ligeros que eran excelentes. Algunos podrían pensar que es un poco caro, pero la presentación y la calidad fueron excelentes. Lamentablemente, no pudimos parar más tiempo ya que tuvimos que volver a salir bajo la lluvia. Definitivamente volvería y probaría los platos principales.

I visited the lovely village of Wellow on a hot August Friday. I arrived at 11:30 and checked on the Fox and Badger pub - it opens at 11:30 but does not start serving food until 12 noon. So that gave me a while to look around this lovely place, especially the remains of the old S&D; railway line, Wellow station (now a private house) and the signal box once owned by the artist Peter Blake (who designed the iconic cover for the Beatles Sgt Pepper album).

Went to this pub last Tuesday evening

Having only been here for drinks before, we decided to give the food a try as we had a friend visiting for the weekend.

Popped in for lunch and they have a small interesting menu. We went for the set lunch at £12.50 and one of us for an a la carte dish. We all had the grilled peach and feta with slow roast tomato salad. We wiped our plates clean really quickly, it was delicious (and quite small).

We had a lovely evening in this beautiful quintessential village pub. Fish and chips and the vegetarian soufflé were delicious. Friendly staff and very relaxed atmosphere. Maybe a bit pricey, but I don't mind paying for quality 😉. Would definitely recommend it and go again.

We had visited the two other pubs in the area and came to this one to compare. This scored better then the other two as far as we were concerned as they had a better choice of beers. More than two here and not "run of the mill" local mass produced ones.

We have just returned from a weekend break in Bath (uni open day visit) we stayed in The Artists Cottage in a village called Wellow about 5/6 miles out of Bath. The pub in the village was great. Great staff, lovely pub food and a very welcoming atmosphere. They’ve got it just right in this little place

We have eaten at the Fox and Badger many times so thought its about time we reviewed it. There is a good choice of freshly made dishes - we usually have the steak as its excellent as is the pesto. The pub staff are friendly and attentive. Many thanks - see you again soon.

It was the first time we had been to the Fox and Badger for food, the welcome from Mandy was fantastic. The pub was very busy, but this didn’t effect the fabulous service we received, food was delicious. Thank you Mandy and staff it was wonderful! We will be back!

I found the land lord to be very rude not a good choice of drinks.would not visit this pub again.only went there to play skittles.The bar looked dirty

Visited for lunch after taking a walk around this beautiful part of Somerset. Good selection of beers and lunchtime menu was short but varied. Food was nicely cooked and well presented. Service was good and pub was busy for a lunchtime with regulars and visitors alike. It is the only pub in the village but looks like it has got the balance right between serving good food and being a pub that has enough locals to keep it going outside the tourist season!

Yes, beautiful! Called in for lunch on a dreary, dull, wet Tuesday - what a find! Lovely, friendly old pub with huge log burner (more log burners in other areas of this establishment). Cozy!

Vino a almorzar con los amigos. El aparcamiento es un poco un problema y supongo que realmente podría ser un problema en la noche. El personal era muy acogedor y amigable, el menú parecía variado y no demasiado extenso (lo que para mí indica que no es comida cocinada en las instalaciones), sorprendentemente todos optamos por la hamburguesa casera y no hubo ningún problema con lo raro, lo normal y lo bueno. hecho. Tampoco hubo problema con un postre sino con tres cucharas!

El F & be tiene mucho a su favor. Una gran selección de cervezas y vinos, es un pub local con excelentes paseos cercanos y un menú realmente interesante.

Encontré este pub por accidente y ¡qué gran descubrimiento! Un pub adecuado con los lugareños y sus perros en el bar, pero con muchas mesas para comer. Almorzamos y fue genial, la hamburguesa casera fue la mejor que he probado en mi vida. También hacen un almuerzo fijo a muy buen precio. Un pub del país en su mejor momento. Intentalo.

Vinimos aquí para nuestra cena (se abre a las 6 en punto). Un pub muy acogedor y confortable con un personal amable y servicial. Es un pub, no un restaurante, así que la comida se sirve en el pub; nada de malo con eso. Y el menú es realmente bueno: hay mucha variedad, y la comida está muy bien cocinada. Vale la pena mencionar que Wellow es una excelente parada para explorar Bath. The Chapel House (Airbnb) está a 100 metros de distancia, y Odd Down Park and Ride (para Bath) está a 9 minutos. Entonces, quédate en Wellow y come en Fox and Badger, no podría ser mejor.

Have come here a couple of times now and visited here again on the 29th Jan.

Great service, great food, very relaxed and welcoming. I felt very comfortable despite being on my own. I had the vegetarian pie and it was delicious!

Some negative reviewers below seem to expect this hostelry to be a fine dining restaurant. It’s not. It’s a fabulous, welcoming, country pub with roaring fires and excellent food prepared with high quality local ingredients. We regularly eat here and the food and service is consistently good.

I've got coeliac disease so usually need to plan ahead, which is fine, but we went to the Fox and Ba

We were lucky that someone else cancelled so we were able to enjoy this fantastic pub for lunch.

We read the reviews on trip advisor and thought we needed to check the reviews to see how accurate they were!! We have been coming to this fantastic country pub for 50 years but haven't visited recently. One thing to emphasise is that it is a pub not a restaurant, the food served is excellent, imaginative, tasty and reasonably priced. The service was both ;personal, friendly and polite. So we would give Tom 12 out of 10 for making us feel so at home and providing a great lunchtime experience. It provided the icing on the cake after a great visit to Bath. See you soon Tom...Bob & Sherry

Excellent food with a wide range of choices and a very helpful and cheerful mine host . The rice pudding, as one of the dessert choices was particularly good. But I could not fault my excellent fish and chips, tartare sauce and mush peas. There we re 12 of us present and at least 5 ate fish and chips, and 2 had delicious looking hamburgers and rolls. Most of us had ordered beforehand so we did not have to wait too long before we were served, Butcombe beer went down a treat after wandering round the village in the rain.

We've been here a few times and have enjoyed the hospitality at The Fox and Badger, the menu is far more than the usual pub fayre.

We arrived at 1.45. Food is advertised from 12 to 2.00. and the pub closes at 3.00. After a good five minutes a charming waitress came out and gave us a menu . We chose quickly as we realised it was getting late. Another older lady appeared and officiously told us we had 2 minutes to order.. We then asked for the dessert Menu. Without a word she simply pointed at a small board and left. Throughout her body language was negative. We all have bad days However there were several people at the bar who appeared to be local. These customers were treated with charm. We did wonder what we had done apart from come in and buy a meal! If food is advertised from 12 to 2 when are last orders? 1.30? 1.45? or 2.00?

Het is niet zomaar dat de engelsen tegenwoordig vaker in de pub komen om te eten, dan om bier te drinken en te darten. In veel pubs is het eten uitstekend, en het blijft natuurlijk ook een verzamelplaats voor de locals. The Fox and the Badger is hierop geen uitzondering. Het eten is goed, de sfeer is relaxed, en de omgeving is dorps.

We had no prior knowledge of the Fox and Badger but were looking for a lunch stop whilst cycling from Mere to Bristol. We were tempted by the 2 courses for £12 lunch set menu. I had goats cheese crostini followed by salmon with pesto linguine and my partner had carrot chilli and coconut soup followed by pork escallope with cabbage and apple mash. Everything was delicious and served by friendly welcoming staff.

I’ve recenkty moved to the area and been to the pub twice already. First time I just had a half a lager, which was a stinking £2.40. Today I took my folks for lunch, I’d warned the, about the potentially steep drinks so we all opted for a large lime and soda. Now the food was really food, the set menu. But when the bill came and we were charged £2.20 for each lime and soda we felt a bit cheated! I’ve paid as little as 40 p for the same drink before now! That’s one hell of a mark-up. Pity, as the rest of the experience was very appealing.

We visited yesterday and were a party of 9, the table had been booked so we weren’t what you’d call walk-ins. We were greeted by a lady who seemed a little stressed but pointed to our table and said she’d be with us shortly. After a few seconds of looking at the menu she came over and took some off of us as she didn’t have enough to cover the remaining tables so we had to share (which wasn’t a problem but that lead to us taking longer as we had to pass the reaming menus around the table) she then reappeared to inform us that some dishes from the menu were limited, so again, it took a little longer whilst a few of the party changed their minds. After taking our drinks order (which we received promoptly) she took our food order that went swiftly and easily. The food itself was good - we had a variety of dishes between us and there was not one complaint about anything food related. After finishing our meals and having coffee a member of the party asked for the tab and (as each member were paying for themselves) another member went up to pay for their share but was quite rudley asked why we hadn’t told her we were all paying separately and when told we weren’t aware that it would be a problem and why she hadn’t asked us (as apparently it would have been easier to pay in whole) she went to another customer and took their drinks order leaving the party stood there trying to work out what the issue was. Eventually the bill was settled with everyone paying their own share..

My family and I recently had dinner here as it is local to us and we have always loved the food on offer. This particular evening again we had excellent food and I should point out that the food offering has always been of a consistently high quality as it was again so my credit is to the chef for well thought out and a good menu. However the front of house service let the whole experience down so badly we almost left. Arriving for our booked table well on time we then had to wait at the bar being totally overlooked by the staff who for whatever reason were in and out with no apparent reason, a simple ‘Hight there il be with you shortly’ is usually what you expect and is the professional sentiment. Shown to our table then literally left to our own devices as nobody bothered to ask if we would like to see a wine list, drink or anything whatsoever. We had to go up to the bar for this and even after the food arrived we were left without checking if we needed anything else even though our drinks were nearing the end and a simple question of would we like refreshing again is what I would expect. Empty plates on the table for an age and with no sign of a dessert offering we decided to pay and leave. Oh and this prompted the most rude and arrogant sentence from a lady on the bar which my wife and I found utterly disgusting. Being used to eating out many times a week and in various eateries I can honestly say this is by far the most atrocious service I’ve ever encountered and you should be ashamed of yourselves as the food was excellent.

The pub offers a limited take away menu on Monday Nights. Fish was fine and tasted very fresh, on the other hand the chips were thin and almost certainly frozen. Would have been excellent if the got the chips right.

Thank you to the Fox and Badger for accommodating our vegan diet at such short notice and presenting us with this summery roasted salad which was so lovely. My friend also thoroughly enjoyed her fish and chips.

This place never fails to impress me! The staff were so friendly & recommended some dishes, we had a camembert starter which tasted amazing, the chutney that came with it complimented it so well, it came out quite promptly after ordering even though the pub was really busy. I had a goats cheese tart, you could tell by the quality & texture of ot that it was maxe by hand, homemade pastry! It was incredible, my partner had the chicken breast from the special board, he said it was the best chicken & that it was freshly cooked & not from a frozen tin!

There is always a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a crackling fire (in the Winter). Roastbeef, roast chicken and fish and chips went down very well, washed down with a pint of Butcombe, a glass of Rioja and one of Sauvignon Blanc. Service is attentive, friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable.

Amazing roast beef sat by a roaring fire with lovely red wine. What more could you want on a Sunday? Thank you. We will be back.

After waiting 40 minutes for our roast lamb to arrive (stuck on our own in a back room), we were served plates of insipid looking food with dried out roast potatoes cooked some time earlier and reheated. Accompanied with cauliflower cheese - never understand why people would think cheesy cauliflower goes with roast meat and gravy?!

Went for dinner on my own when in the area cycling- had a superb meal and ended up sat at the bar chatting to the regulars, consuming a disgraceful quantity of the local ales... loved it.

Called in for lunch and had great food and friendly service.

Great Lunch. Pheasant breast special and Pumpkin tart (with tasty chips!). atmosphere of a good local pub. Feeding locals and visitors alike with quality food and drink.

We went to eat and the place was packed on a Friday night with a lot of locals. Our food came out and was delicious Great atmosphere and very doggie friendly.

This pub is a good starting point (or even the finishing point) for a walk and visit to the nearby multi-chambered Neolithic (3500 years BP) Long Barrow (30m) just to the southwest of the village of Wellow (Somerset). LOCATION: Littleton Ln, Bath BA2 8NR. Both the Pub and the Barrow are well worth the visit with the Pub offering a friendly and local atmosphere with god food and good local beers..

Super reception from front of house (owner/manager?) lunch time, good menu and all the meals presented looked well cooked, well presented and well received. We only had a light lunch (omelettes, very well cooked, and I am fussy about them). Had been there once before but did notice a change in attitude (pleasing). Lovely country pub and well worth going out of your way for a visit, super olde inn. Well done.

We had lunch for 2 mid week. The fish was freshly cooked to order and very tasty. The ambience at...

Dropped in to meet a friend for lunch midweek and the place was busy with walkers and dogs - great! Antonia was really friendly, looking after everything front of house and the homemade burgers were excellent. Didnt notice any change of ownership impact from previous visits - all exactly the same.

Be dropping by later for Dinner & tasting out the Local Ale Highly recommended by our owner Jeremy...

Now under new management, and it shows! Beer good, food excellent. The new owners are trying hard. I had the special for lunch, which was pan-fried hake - lovely. My colleague had the lamb - excellent quality meat nicely cooked. Had puds too - the sticky toffee pudding was one of the best I have ever had. Highly recommended.

This was a convenient stop for lunch. We were cycling through on the way to Devizes from Wells. We got there just before 2 pm on a Tuesday when they stopped taking orders. I had a half of the Otter, Mrs P had an orange juice and lemonade. I ordered the burger and chips (what could go wrong) and Mrs P had a lovely lime chicken salad. It came promptly. The bar staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. They brought us a jug of chilled water to help us 'rehydrate' on a very warm summer's day. The food was tasty. And did the job. We weren't after high-end cuisine. We wanted value for money, cycling fuel which tasted flavoursome! We got our money's worth.

We booked The Fox & Badger for my parents Golden Wedding anniversary, there were 10 of us in the party. We pre-ordered our choices before arriving, The pub is easy to find and really welcoming when you first walk in. We were shown to our table the surroundings were comfortable, the service was friendly and efficient throughout our visit. The food was exceptional, we had a variety of starters, the grilled sardines and smoked chicken were highlights. The main courses were equally as good, pork tenderloin, rump steak and the free range chicken were all enjoyed greatly. As for the size of the yolks on the duck eggs, they have to be seen to be believed. A great evening was had by all, the price was fair for the quality of the food and great service. The Fox & Badger was so good we asked the barman for a table for Sunday lunch and went back the very next day. Treat yourself, you won't be disappointed, if i didn't live 100 miles away i would make it a regular treat. Fox & Badger thank you for a great night and a very enjoyable celebration.

This little pub offers an upscale menu and the food is surprisingly good. The chef blended the ingredients together in my chicken dish that made it unbelievably good. The atmosphere was very nice, but a bit too cramped and the service was first rate. Prices were fair, food arrived promptly. Overall two thumbs way up! TIP: On the weekends you may want to consider reservations and the place appears to fill up pretty quickly at dinnertime. There is also a small outdoor eating area, although when we were there, it was occupied by some boisterous locals, so we chose to eat inside.

We came here for a celebratory meal the the other evening, all the food was lovely and the staff were really friendly and efficient!! Definitely recommend!

A proper country pub with a good menu.Home made fish fingers in a ciabatta rollwas very good.Will visit again.

Was on a walk that took me through Wellow, passing the Fox & Badger. Out of curiosity I looked at their menu displayed in the window. So many interesting dishes and after a quick check on TripAdvisor decided I couldn't miss this opportunity to try their food.The friendliness and cosy atmosphere was a good omen and as it turned out well founded. Decided on the twice baked red pepper and feta souffle. Apart from the accompanying grilled courgette it also came with some large asparagus & slow cooked tomatoes - not mentioned on the menu. It was well presented, tasty and light in texture - just right for a sunny day. Will certainly feature in my places to revisit when I'm walking in the area again - with this pub as an incentive that likely to be sooner rather than later.

The Fox and Badger is a friendly pub in a beautiful village, perfect decor and delicious food. We were there for lunch, so can't vouch for the dinner menu but I'm sure it was as good. Shall certainly visit again.

We have visited regularly for years and this place is going from strength to strength. The menu is a winner with local fresh produce and ideal country pub fayre along with a good range of cloudy ciders and real ales. There is always a good range of specials and always a fresh fish dish. Hats off to the chef who cooks everything perfectly, the steaks are getting better and better. The place itself a cosy, rustic country pub style and can get busy at times and booking a table is advised if you want to eat in the main pub area, although there is a smart and cosy dining room to the rear to cope with over flow. However, the busy evenings just add to the ambiance and atmoshere. Theres a fantastic buzz especially Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. We just love it here, whether its a warm summers evening or a cosy winter night in front of the log burner. Children and well behaved dogs loll around amongst the hunter wellies in the earlier hours making it a truly family affair and again adds to the ambience. If you want to travel out and around from Bath then this is definitely recommended.

My wife and I called in for Sunday lunch and both had the chicken which was really lovely. The meal came hot and was very tasty. It's cooked fresh so you may have to wait a little while. I thought it was a little pricey at £13.50 but not disappointed with the meal.

Called in for lunch. Had the sea bass wellcooked and friendly service.Good choice of beers. This is a good unspoilt local pub.On the cycle/ walking route from Bath to Radstock.

We arrived at the end of a walk, very wet, to a nice fire blazing. It was a Tuesday lunchtime and the place was quite busy.We had a simple lunch of a pate, soup, plus 2 very large glasses of wine, which came to £25. So mid price.The pub itself is very traditional and comfortable. The Barman is very friendly and jolly, but seems to be the Barman, the waiter and anything else needed, I presume because it was a Tuesday lunchtime.Menu is limited.Lovely traditional English village pub.

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch. Myself, wife, daughter, and 20 month granddaughter, plus two dogs. First off we were all made very welcome, and then enjoyed a lovely lunch. My daughter had a great Sea Bass, my wife an excellent "pie of the day" and myself a lamb plus suet pudding with kidneys. The beer was good too but I forget the name. Butterworth? Very very tasty. Definitely to be recommended.

This pub is situated in a beautiful village just outside bath but unfortunately, did not meet expectations. I feel the menu was a little limited but it was certainly unique. I ordered the blade of beef but feel the flavours were balanced the wrong way around - the beef lacked flavour and the mash was over powering. It was very busy and the barman could've done with an extra pair of hands. On the plus side, the atmosphere was great and everyone was so friendly, I think with some tweaking this place could be a real gem.

Okay, our fault - we decided to chance this place because we fancied an old country pub although website still under construction so no idea what expect from menu. Bit too hunting, shooting, fishing and foie gras for our liking but hey, that's just us. Managed to squeeze us in for lunch but despite wood burner, very cold in the building. Lone barman trying to cope with drink and food orders, cleaning/waiting tables and more. Ordered an omelette but still no chips after ten minutes - gracious apologies but eventually yukky frozen ones arrived. Lovely, reasonably priced wine and beer. Wish you all the very best for the future and I'm sure this will be a great pub for locals and tourists alike once teething problems have been sorted.

We had a wonderful 3 course meal here for New Year's Eve. The food was incredible and I will be planning to head back for one of their Sunday Dinners. The pub had a great atmosphere very welcoming and great fun.
