Pub could do with a refurb. Food was tasty but nothing special and full of dogs under every table. The dog under the table next to us was constantly begging for food. I personally think that dogs should not be allowed in eating places. But that's just my opinion.

Love this place. The best hot shot Parmo ever. Beautiful crispy chicken escalope smothered with béchamel sauce and topped with a spicy tomato sauce pepperoni, jalapeño and cheese. Massive portions too.

Very disappointing for a pub. Went for some drinks, and food. Told at 9.30 they were closing the tills and if we wanted another drink to order now. They didn’t see if we wanted dessert. Then at 10pm they said to finish drinks and leave. Staff were rude by this point and wanted everyone out and made people feel unwelcome. Wish I had gone somewhere else.

The staff were lovely and you are made to feel welcome! My opinion on the menu is that it is a bit outdated and stodgy! I would have liked to see some lighter healthier options. On the other hand my partner loved the menu and loves the hearty home made food choices. The atmosphere is a warm country pub vibe with warm welcoming staff.

Staying nearby for a long weekend, popped in for Sunday lunch. Good catering for drop ins and diners with reservations with a dedicated area kept free for drop ins. First ever Parmo, not disappointed and not sure about the reviews stating drowned in Beschamel sauce, clearly not as per the photo. Nice collection of regional ales on draught alongside the usual standard lagers. All good 👍

Used to be fantastic but not so much now. Cold, impersonal service which does the job but never with a smile or a sense of being welcome. The outdoor area at the back, considering the pub’s location, is abysmal! The food’s good but doesn’t make up for the overall experience. Shame because we used to like it.

Food was amazing best meal we've had out in a long time, the small portions are very generous and for two puddings, drinks and two main meals for two under £50 you can't go wrong! If only it wasn't so far from where we live cause we would be regulars!

Staff were great. The hilarity that ensued when me and my partner ordered small parmos and small lasagnes though. My lasagne came and it was the size of a John West tin of tuna, her small parmo was the size of her head. Try and balance those out as I felt ripped off and she couldn't finish it.

We went to the Fox Covert Inn for a family meal on a Saturday afternoon. The service was lovely, quick and very accommodating. The food itself was very heavy, oily and didn't hit the mark for everyone on the table. The chicken liver pate was very watery and felt somewhat stretched. The chicken parmo was alright, but drowned in bechamel sauce. My recommendation would be to reduce the gigantic portion sizes and refocus on quality. Also, the phone was ringing for most of the time which becomes quite disturbing when wanting to have a nice meal and catch-up.

Can be very hit or miss but we won’t be rushing back!! We phoned last min to book a table, they didn’t have any tables available and said to use the walk in service you’ll be fine. We managed to find a pretty poor table but it done the job, I ordered food at the bar and my parter changed the table for a better table, I hadn’t left the bar and asked if we were ok to change table. The barmaid/waiter said she’ll update on the system but didn’t look best pleased, not entirely sure if the barmaid was a he or she but I’m going to go with she with really short hair. When I sat back at the table the total bill looked really expensive compared to normal but wasn’t broken down, I went to the bar and requested to speak to the same barmaid but and again she wasn’t happy and passed a comment to her colleague. Barmaid said I had been charged for an extra meal, the barmaid requested the manager to give a refund for the extra charge but no apology was giving. When the food arrived the same barmaid/waiter with short hair tried to deliver our food to the previous table we were sat and my parter called the barmaid over, the barmaid said “this is what happens when you jump tables and now the kitchen don’t know we’re there at”. I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want this to ruin our meal. Both ordered mince and dumplings, my meal came with not much more than a tablespoon of mince but my partner’s was fine. Time before this my wife parmo came with frozen chips and nothing was said.

Been here for years on Christmas eve. This year most of the staff appeared to be in a mood. Ordering the starters we asked if we could order mains in 5 mins. She ripped the slip off her Ordering books as loud as she could and simply walked off and huffed "last food order is 8pm" before I could say its fine we will order now, she walked off. Great start. We ordered 6 meals, one being a veg lasagne and a beg Thai curry. My wife has been a vegetarian for over 20 years and myself for 5 years. The lasagne came with 1 meat lasagne and no one could tell us which was the vegetarian. They took them all away. Then may vegetarian Thai curry came. I started to eat it and about 4 mouthfuls in a big peice if chicken was in the meal. I poked around and found more. I had been given a chicken curry not a vegetarian. I stopped eating and waited for the staff to return. Then the lasagnes were brought back after about 5mins and we were told which were which. Not sure how they could tell, maybe the tops were lifted off? I then mentioned my curry was chicken instead of vegetarian, the waitresses was so rude, she didn't say or anything she just snatched it away? She came back after another 5 minutes and said"its because you didn't specify if I wanted chicken or vegetarian " Not only is this a complete lie, as the server asked my twice which one I wanted, but non apology or anything and she was just blaming me. I said that wasn't the case as I hadn't ate meat for 5 years and I knew I had asked for vegetarian! I asked if the lady who took the order was in and she said she had left. my son saw her down the bottom of the room. Still no apology and she disappeared again.another 5 minutes and she could do a curry but no rice as they had none. At this point I didn't really want it after been called a liar, no apologies just rude attitude. So I had no meal and shared my wife's. Everyone makes mistakes, a simple apology would have been fine, to lie be very rude and blame it on the customer is unacceptable. We won't be returning. It was a lot quieter than usual , maybe other customer have had the same treatment. Mostly new staff. Awful experience.

Good portion sizes for price (compared to other places in yarm). Add to all that, decent ales and a real fire for winter. Top tip: reserve a table if you want to eat because it can't get busy!

Such a fall from grace. Was once a great Chinese, but has taken a nosedive in quality. The chilli and honey chicken I ordered was incredibly watery. Would slosh and run off the plate. Literally red water with some spice and not the thick sticky studd you would exoect. Barely any chicken - rammed full of veg and fruit to fill the watery container. Suspect the rice was microwaved. It was dry, thin ling grain and like sand - not fluffy and sticky like you'd expect if it was made in a rice cooker. I'm not sure if new owners, chefs, or cost of living hit them so hard they have to use the lowest quality ingredients now. Sort it our great wall. You're just "wall" now.
