Average at best!!Stopped off for lunch! I haven’t visited this place for years and whilst it has been refurbished it has left it soulless snd without character!The food looked better than it tasted! It was very bland. Fish cakes were very dense in texture, chicken schnitzel was under seasoned snd greasy, the sauce lacked in flavour. Management did deduct the price of my drink due to this.

The Fox Hall Inn has a small menu which, to my mind, is no bad thing. We enjoyed everything and were looked after by a friendly, pleasant team. The only thing which was a bit odd was that the large dining area at the back where we were seated (which had spectacular views), was spartan and resembled a canteen. More subdued lighting would make all the difference!

We have travelled this road from Scotland for more than 20 years but this was the first time we stopped in at The Fox Hall Inn. The food was absolutely delicious. The best fish chips & mushy peas I have ever tasted! The service from the girls was really friendly & welcoming. Even our wee Westie was welcomed. So much better than a service station! We will be back but might not be for a while. Thank you.

We stopped off for a bit of lunch on the way to our destination, the weather was great so into the gardens at the back. Ordered aranchini to start, schnitzel for main and my wife had muscles and chorizo, it was amazing, very clean and fresh. The service was superb, there was a tall guy with dark hair and a lovely you lady with a foreign accent who couldn’t have made us feel more welcome and know the menu and we’re truly a credit to this place, we will be back.. excellent

Lovely food (Sunday lunch), served hot and in good time. Friendly staff. Good beer.The place has a nice atmosphere and wonderful views to the rear.It was clean and tidy and the staff were making a good effort to sanitise tables and equipment.They did everything right and it's unusual for me not to pick holes in something, but not this time.Recommended.

This is a perfect place for me to stop half way when visiting my daughter at Nottingham University. I really enjoyed the good service and food and find the location relaxing and a great break from driving. Much better than most motorway services in my opinion!

Mrs B and I called in here recently as has become customary when passing on our travels, and we both felt peckish. We went in and it wasn’t too busy so we had lunch of fish, chips, mushy peas and home made tartare sauce. The portions were “small” as opposed to “large”, but this was not a reflection on what was delivered, simply our choices from the menu. Heaven help us if we’d gone large - a good plateful of crispy beer-battered cod cooked to perfection and the huge flakes that make cod my favourite fish when it’s done right. Chunky chips crunchy on the outside and fluffy within, mushy peas that were great, and amazing tartare sauce with (I think) capers, red onion and chopped garlic with creamy mayonnaise. Absolutely mega ❤️ £8.95 for the small, £13.95 for the large. Quite simply the best fish and chips I have tasted - yes, Coleman’s of South Shields, you’ve been outdone. Sorry. A not huge but inspired menu would, I would say, make sure there was something to please most palates. Looking forward to the next visit

Just been for a birthday meal, I love it here all through lockdown I used to get the takeout Sunday lunches and service was great; finally had the pleasure of eating in for my dads 69th Birthday with family. Was 6 of us including two children, was lovely service is amazing, staff look after you so well! Food was great , even put a candle in my dads dessert and we sang happy birthday it was really nice! Just extra special, thank you so much! Our family are from Hartlepool they said they will definitely come here in the future and especially for Sunday luck as I said the Sunday lunches are nice. I can’t recommend enough I work nearby and I do tell people to dine here as I know it is really nice. Very clean, and saw dogs here too wish is great! I will bring mine next time! Beautiful views!

Had planned a short break in the Lakes, decided late on the afternoon before due to travel to break our journey and found this place , so glad we did. Got the last room due to a cancellation , overlooked fields at the back , very clean , and some fab toiletries in the bathroom. Evening meal was delightful, lovely setting , great staff and our food was extremely tasty and well presented. Breakfast was very good and plenty of it. Having driven past this place on many occasions it's a shame we haven't tried it before but we will certainly be back.

We were on vacation with our friends when a covid breakout at a restaurant which we had booked to go to made us make alternate plans. The fox hall inn in east Layton was fairly close to our holiday accommodation and reviewed well. We booked for an afternoon meal, only 2 days into our 7 day break. We were all very impressed with the staff, meal quality, price and cleanliness of this establishment and booked again for the following day.We then decided to book a stay over the next day to evaluate the bed and breakfast for future reference when we return to this area. It exceeded all our expectations and will look forward to returning.

We were staying in Greenbank Barns which is less than 5 mins away. We visited as a family with 4 adults & 2 small children. It was teatime on a week day so was quiet but the service was brilliant, very friendly & attentive. They brought my son a colouring activity which was nice. Food was amazing & we all enjoyed it. I had the Featherblade Beef & highly recommend!

We were looking for pet friendly hotels/B&Bs in the North Yorkshire area as a last minute get away when we stumbled across the Fox Hall Inn.I already had a good gut feeling about the place from the extremely helpful customer service I received booking the 3 pet friendly rooms. The staff I spoke to were very friendly and couldn't do enough to help us, they were very accommodating for all our requirements.The stay lived up to expectations and more, the rooms were modern, fresh & clean. Each room had a dog bed, bowl and treats for our four legged friends. The views of the countryside were gorgeous and the staff continued to be helpful, friendly and welcoming throughout our visit.We also had our evening meal at the Fox Hall in for our evening meal which was to a very high standard and very reasonably priced. The staff again were very attentive and even threw in a bottle of fizz to celebrate one of our birthdays.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and glad we chose the Fox Hall Inn. We cannot wait to visit again for what will most likely be an annual occurrence. Thanks again to all the team :)

This was a recommendation by our hotel it was a last minute booking as we arrived later than anticipated.The choices available was ok but I would say a trifle limited.We both ordered the trout which was lovely however it was served on a bed of what tasted like cold sauerkraut rather odd ???The desert was average nothing to write home about.All in all it was adequate fare, slightly better than normal pub offering.

We were so pleased to see the restaurant had reopened as on occasions even pre covid it had been closed. The restaurant is covid compliant. We sat indoors in the restaurant area and there’s seating in the bar too. There are two terraces outside if you wish to eat outside. The staff are very friendly and helpful assisting me with what was suitable for my gf choices. I rang on the day to book a table but actually only did this within hours of arriving.I had a mixed berry cider on draught which is delicious. For my main meal a bun-less burger, salad and home made fries. Then for dessert gf flourless chocolate brownie and ice cream. I would highly recommend trying this delightful inn.Even the hand soap in the loos is fab to the point I’ve just ordered some!! Noble and Isle Rhubarb Rhubarb

Having never been before, we were met by a very pleasant young lady who booked us in, showed us to our table and took our order. The choices from both menu and specials were excellent. I chose the char grilled pork chop and my wife couldn't resist the freshly offered gluten free fish and chips. Both wine and beer were great. I pushed myself to a dessert of rhubarb and custard Eaton mess, it was so moorish.The venue was outstanding along with the food and friendly staff, it will be visited again very soon. Oh and they do rooms.

Under Covid restrictionsI wouldn’t normally rate a take away, but since that was what was available that’s what we got to eat in the caravan rather than sit outside on a chilly evening!Very easy to order ahead, efficient and friendly service when we arrived for the pickup (which was spot on time), and so well cooked food with crispy batter and perfect chips. Highly recommend.

Stayed here for 13 nights due to working in Catterick. So glad that we found this place from booking through to check out the Jack, Ellie and the rest of the staff have been fantastic. So friendly and always happy to help. The rooms are spotlessly clean, modern and well appointed with a fantastically comfortable bed. Now for the food!!!!!! stunning is the only word to describe it. (if you stay make sure you try the Cheese Burger you will not be disappointed). The Fox Hall Inn has such a homely atmosphere (even in the current times) that it really does feel like a home from home. Now talking about the current time (Covid -19) all the staff have been exceptionally attentive, there is hand sanitizer everywhere will all staff wearing masks and never complaining about that fact. if you are in the area and need to stay, eat or maybe just have a drink, I cannot recommend Fox Hall inn Highly enough.

We have been dining at the Fox Hall Inn for more than (10) years and during that time it has seen at least three changes of ownership. After a day in Penrith and on our way back to Teesside we wondered what was happening at the Fox Hall Inn. Located on the A66, about three miles from Scotch Corner, made it a good choice. We phoned ahead, made a reservation and asked if the lady we had spoken with would be there that evening and her reply was priceless. "Yes, I will be and I'll be cooking for you". Her name is Ellie and the quality of her cooking made it more like fine dining than we could ever have imagined. The menu, thoughtful and appealing, was one of the best we have seen in a long while. We got to meet Ellie after our dinner and said that with her in the kitchen, we would be pleased to make a (90) minute round trip for such an enjoyable dining experience. The lady looking after us was Erika and she proved to be the server we all want. There to make suggestions, there to make sure everything was to our liking but never being intrusive. Exceptional food, supported by great service, pretty much insures the success of this "resurrected" restaurant we know as the Fox Hall Inn.

What a lovely find :-)).My Husband works in Glasgow and drives past here en route back down south every weekend. I visited this week and we drove back together and wanted to stop off for a bite to eat for lunch. He had noticed it Driving past before and said “ let’s try it out”, so glad we did!This is on a busy road, so the restaurant is a perfect stop off with plenty of parking available.The views across the Dales are beautiful too.We decided to eat in the bar area and grabbed a pint of Amstel and a glass of Rose wine which was served in a carafe to pour myself and chilled to perfection.We both chose the chicken, bacon & tomato sandwich on Malt bread, served with a small salad and fries.The chicken was cooked perfectly, not at all dry and malt bread lightly toasted.It was really filling and delicious.This may be a stop off point for my Husband every Friday on his drive back, such a lovely find.The service is attentive and very friendly. Facilities lovely and clean too:

We went to this restaurant as it was close to a local hotel we were staying at, and - despite the place appearing 'chainy' - found the food and service to be great. Unfortunately, we were seated with one of us having a view of the car park and the other people watching, when there seemed to be some views of a beautiful valley from some tables. Other than this, the service was fab (almost too formal - being called 'Sir' over and over made me feel that I was 75!) and the food was delicious. In particular, the starters were superb - the best scotch egg I've ever tasted. Thank you for a lovely meal.

We had a wonderful staycation at the Fox Hall Inn this week. Our family room was a good size, had comfortable beds and a great bathroom with nice smellies. It faced away from the busy A66 giving us a lovely view of the Yorkshire countryside we’d come here for. Food, both breakfast and dinners, were amazing. As we were here 4 nights we probably tried most things on the menu and it was all excellent. The Restaurant was busy in the evenings but staff were lovely and looked after us with a smile. Location is great for Richmond, Barnard Castle, High Force and Ayesgarth waterfalls, and there is even a ruined castle a short walk through the fields away!

We decided to try out the Foxhall that's recently under newManagement. A Major Refurbishment has been carried out in all areas. The Bar is now extremely well appointed with a magnificent Brass Bar top !! The Restaurant is tastefullydecorated, and a warm welcome awaited as we walked in. We only had a Main Course, but the portions were more thansufficient. My Steak and Kidney Pie was superb, and the Medley of Vegetables cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the Lambs Liver, which she thoroughly enjoyed. We also shared a generous portion of tasty homemade Chips. A set Menu of 2 or 3 Courses was also available. We will be back !!

Although this pub is on the A6 inside is quiet and cosy, beautifully clean with modern decor. The staff were welcoming and helpful. We were able to take our dogs in, either to the bar area or the snug and the waitress brought them a bowl of water and dog biscuits. There was a main menu and a two course lunch menu available which the waitress explained to us, with the specials of the day. We opted for the Ploughmans lunch, which consisted of ham, mature cheddar, freshly backed bread, chutneys and pickles and a sald with delicious dressing. My husband had the cod and chips with mushy peas and said the batter was crisp and light with very tasty chunky chips

Fantastic bar bistro type restaurant serving the most delicious fish and chips. My wife also had the steak sandwich which was also very delicious. If you’re heading west from a Scotch corner then give the services a miss. I would highly recommend popping in here instead. You will not be disappointed.

This was a great meeting place for lunch. Food very good. Every one very friendly. A bit pricey, especially the desserts. Service a wee bit slow, but we weren’t in a hurry.

Just come back this evening after taking friends there for his 80th birthday and had an absolutely amazing meal!!! It’s been a while since I have been, but now since it’s Re-opened it’s beautifully decorated, warm and cosy. We were in the restaurant, so tastefully done. The food was fantastic! Very attentive staff. Was to busy tucking in to take more than one pic! We travelled 20-25 mins to get there and was well worth it. Will definitely be going again. Keep up the good work guys!!

Family went for Sunday lunch - first time we have been back to Fox Hall for a considerable time. Place itself is really nice , modern clean decor. We all had starters and mains and everyone enjoyed the food - so quality was good . Only issue was the food service was a little slow and given it wasn’t too busy would have expected a little better. Feel there needs to be a little more urgency from the staff and the kitchen and if you get that right people will return again and again.

Stopped on the way to the lakes, have been here before it was closed and refurbished and new owners have taken it on, very very nice, lovely inside just a pitty the fire wasn't lit on this cold and windy day. Food outstanding my husband had the club sandwich and I had the fish finger sandwich both excellent we shared a portion of skinny fries the portions are in my opinion very large and value for money, it was very quiet with only one other table in which is a shame as its a big pub but very cosy. Would recommend to anyone passing stop and try you won't be disappointed staff very friendly. Thanks for a lovely lunch we will return.

Have often passed the Fox Hall Inn on travelling East on the A66 from Scotch Corner- five miles away from the A1 to A66 roundabout- if you blink you miss it on the left and it’d still benefit from better signage. Indeed last time we passed en route to Blackpool, it was closed altogether, and apparently was for 18 months until its reopening under new ownership/management in August 2019. On the way home from Blackpool this time I decided that Mrs B and I would try it out for a comfort break instead of the usual Scotch Corner Services visit.

Excellent food - best calamari I’ve eaten in a long time! Good wine selection and friendly staff who were very helpful. Service was a little slow but perhaps that was a misunderstanding of our requirements. All in all a very good meal and the refurbishment looks great.

Stopped here on the way to the Lake District for lunch and glad we did, had a three course meal, soup of the day, fish and potatoes and the crumble, all the food was excellent and the bar and restaurant staff offered good service. A nice atmosphere, suitable for families and the bar and restaurant it’s self is a nice area, thumbs up, definitely be coming back

Booked a table lastminute as couldn’t face motorway services food. Really friendly booking taken, flexible on arrival time, we got there early in the end and no problems with that. Able to sit where we wanted in a cosy snug, food was out of this world for tired travellers. Delicious mushroom risotto, my wife had a veg curry, superb. Gorgeous puddings and proper big portions. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

The restaurant has been open and closed several as l times over the last year so when we passed and saw it now refurbished we decided to plan our evening meal for the return journey.

Delighted to see this restaurant open again. Refurbished elegantly. Friendly attentive staff. The menu offered a great choice both in price, country or origin and options from light bites to a full Christmas meal and lots in between. One of our party has severe food intolerances but these were dealt with at the time of booking and proved a great success.

We come along the A66 about twice a year between Glasgow and Milton Keynes and have for some time now been looking for a new place to stop for lunch. We did try Fox Hall Inn some time ago but found that it was closed but noticed a few months ago, when we passed that it was open again.

We used to eat here on our way to Doncaster when it was an excellent fish and chip restaurant. It's been closed for quite a while for refurbishment but last time we drove past saw it had re-opened so we went for Sunday lunch. I didn't remember any of the staff from before but all were excellent, both on the phone beforehand, and then welcoming us and waiting on our table. A lot of details were spot-on - the decor, the crockery, the napkins, the glasses and so on all set a high standard. There was a good fish selection on the menu but they no longer claim it as a speciality. Nevertheless the plaice was excellent and the roast beef dinner looked perfect. We're looking forward to going back again next time we're passing.

Limited starters and only pizza for main course. No mention of this when we booked. Waitress forgot to bring menus and take order. We had to chase. Only 2 choices for a bottle of white wine. Took 45 minutes for starters to arrive. We should have left.

We popped in here at the end of August. My wife found it as I was repairing the car. After calling her she told me she was in “heaven”.The quirky little place was ticking all her boxes with 30s/40s music and 30s/40s.I met and ordered the cream tea and the price wasn’t far off 30s/40s price.An amazing little place and a gem of a find!
