Fox & Hounds in Wiltshire

Sunday lunch for 6 of us. Absolutely lovely atmosphere, so relaxed, staff friendly, no rushing. Ordered various roasts - the potatoes were crispy and we all cleared our plates. Eton mess for dessert and coffee. I chose the Fox and hounds because it was equidistant for me and my siblings but it was well worth the hour’s drive!!

On holiday and found this Beautiful pub food amazing best Tai curry ever ! Great service and staff a little gem we are going back 😄 would absolutely recommend.

Nice quiet pub. But again was stuck with the same boring scampi as anything else i would have liked had garlic in it !! We did like the pub though ... nice and quiet no kids running about.

Just had a lovely Sunday lunch here. Well worth the trip down and it’s evident why it was busy. Quick service, friendly staff and just the sound of conversation to enjoy the meal to.

Never been here before. Travelled across from Somerset to meet friends who were heading back North and all had Sunday lunch here. Lovely setting. Great pub with really friendly staff. Food was excellent. Pub is also dog friendly so our two dogs had a great time. Highly recommended.

beautiful place nestled in the countryside where everyone is helpful and accommodating. superb selection of gluten free main courses with almost everything being adaptable to be gluten free. thoroughly delightful evening with food that everyone enjoyed in a cozy country pub.

We visited the pub 3 times whilst on holiday walking the 1.25 miles from East Knoyle. All of the meals and the different beers I ttried were very good hence the reason we went 3 times. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.

Really lovely evening - good pub food, we had fish and chips and scampi and chips and all very tasty. Delicious desserts of sticky toffee pudding and lemon posset especially. Great service. Definitely recommend.

Had a lovely lunch last Saturday, dog friendly & hosts were lovely. Food was freshly cooked & tasted very nice. Nothing to much trouble, even got some carrot for the dog as a treat (his fav). Certainly worth going through the village to find this little gem

On our way to Poole & needed somewhere to lunch, found this lovely pub, which was dog friendly with lovely hosts. Food was freshly cooked & tasted delicious, they even found a treat for the dog (carrot in our case) . Worth going through the village to find this pub.

Really lovely hidden gem. Food was fantastic with great care taken for our gluten free needs. Staff polite and friendly.

Wonderful little place, stopped in there today just to get a cold drink, unfortunately I'd arrived just as they were closing, but, the two people there were happy to let me get a couple of drinks which I enjoyed outfront before popping the glasses back by the door! Didn't eat, but I can only imagine if the food is as great as the service, you'll not be disappointed

It's a tiny bit out of the way, but super friendly, comfy and homely. Great food and great beer.

Lovely food and a friendly welcome.

Lovely country pub, food was lovely with a variety of dishes available. Will definitely go again

Lovely one of my favourites. Can't rate food as we just had a drink after a walk, but friends have eaten here and always said they would come back.

Exelent food and good beer, loverly staff.

Lovely pub with nice views. Sat outside for some drinks, didn't eat. Friendly barman.

Location is very nice, beer excellent, food amazing. You must try. Garden is perfect on a sunny day

A lovely village pub serving great food, with friendly staff and a good atmosphere.

What a lovely place. Food was fantastic, however service seemed a little abrupt at times. But saying that, with only two working out front and only open for 3 hours over a lunch period then maybe politeness is sacrificed for hot tasty food!! But as I said the food was good and hot. Big thumbs up for this place and would definitely return.

It was good that the pub was very dog friendly and we were looked after attentively but, despite the external appearance, internally it was rather lacking in character and with as many tables crammed in as possible. When I phoned to book, I was told that there were two veggie options but in fact there was one. There's trade to be had, so why not give people proper options so that they might come back?

Lovely little place in the middle of nowhere, great food, atmosphere and service

Great pub with marvellous views and food and service to match. We loved it!

Just had a really nice birthday dinner . Staff amazing and a wonderful meal good was so so nice . Very friendly pub . Shame I live so far away

Exceptional find. Dog friendly and great food. Murray the landlord also cooks we gather. Superb vegetarian halloumi and spinach burger. The pie was also great. Extremely friendly staff. Closed on Mondays. Dessert options to die for. Eton Mess, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Chocolate Brownie…. Worth the detour from A303.

This is the second time we have been to this lovely pub. I can't say enough good things about it. As it happens we are already arranging to meet with friends in a few weeks time and we WILL mist definitely be booking a meal. The food is fab, great chef. Dog friendly absolute must. Prices are great. Service fab. Katie rembererd my dog from last visit, she truly did. Not me but the dog. That's a win. Truly if you haven't tried this pub do.

It was good thst the pub was very dog friendly and we were looked after attentively but the pub was rather lacking in character and as many tables crammed in as possible.

Lovely little country pub. Cosy atmosphere, delicious food, fast service. Great choice of non alcoholic beverages available.

Food nice enough, well cooked and enough choice to keep you well fed. Wasnt any atmosphere, or anything different for 14th February. Havnt been here for a while, and due to the fact they automatically add service charge, will not come back again. Service was good, but nothing worthy of the additional charge. Best part of a £100 for 2, it isnt exactley cheap either.

Delicious Sunday lunch in a traditional old pub setting. The roast beef was tender and cooked pink and the roast and fresh vegetables were perfect as was the gravy. The Eton mess dessert was one of the best I have ever tasted. All in all a most enjoyable lunch and one we will be repeating.

Beautiful location, overlooking hols and valleys. The pub itself is in a lovely little place, hidden from the busy pace of modern life. You can't help but feel relaxed. We were greeted by the landlords on arrival, who welcomed us and our dog into the pub for lunch. And it sure was a damn tasty lunch at that! Will definitely go back if we're ever passing through again.

This was our first visit in a while and it didn’t disappoint. All the meals were tasty and well presented, the venison main course was cooked perfectly and full of flavour. Coupled with a decent pint of beer means we will be back!!

The pub is in a really lovely setting. We had Sunday lunch there. The food was fine but the portions were meagre and at around £15 each for one course, it felt too expensive for what you got.

Good food, can cope with a diabetic / coeliac, they have Schweppes diet tonic and are Dog Friendly. Lovely staff. What more could we ask for!

Good - Food, a refreshing change from mass-catering, bland, uniform pub grub. Nicely presented, tasty and nothing seemed microwaved. A miracle nowadays. Wine, nice choices by the glass, fairly priced and served at the right temperature. Wonderful, heavy cotton napkins - almost extinct in all but the most gastro of gastro pubs. A joy to find. Thank you! Not so good - slightly frosty, brusque reception. You can't underestimate that first point of contact and it certainly could have been warmer. What a pity for such a potentially fabulous experience. Will be back for dinner and, hopefully, a little more welcoming welcome.

Walked in straight away bad vibes. The lady behind the bar was so rude and made us feel uncomfortable. Do not recommend !!

Awful place, the staff were so rude to us and look down to anyone who is not a local. Blonde woman behind the bar was snarky and made us feel completely unwelcome. Will not be returning ever.

We all really loved the food & desserts, perfect Sunday lunch. The pub is also very dog friendly and has a proper country feel.

Lovely food and friendly staff. The Eton Mess is amazing! Dog friendly and just a nice place to be overall. Would recommend

Took ages to find it as signage is inadequate (had to ask a local for directions). Had spoken to someone there earlier to make sure they were open as we were driving 30-odd miles to get there. Woman on phone hung up on me when I said we wouldn't be eating. Same frosty response on arrival and we were directed to some dingy room at the back. Fantastic view, no atmosphere at all. How disappointing. Landlord (I assume) was lovely though.

I went to this lovely pub with my Adult Autistic son and my five year old grandson. The staff were very welcoming, friendly , helpful and understanding and the food was lovely We will be back

Lovely food and a welcome stop over travelling back home from the west country

Absolutely fantastic It is unusual to find a pub wigh a good wine list well kept ales AND such wonderful food Sshhh don't tell everyone

Pub can get very busy so best to book for a meal. £ of us went & all had fish. One had plaice & loved it. One had small fish & chips & loved it. I had largs fish & chips & hated it! The chips were a good size but lacked any bite The fish was mostly batter & the second worst I have ever had. Staff were ok.

Lovely Sunday roast, great roast beef. Prompt, friendly service.

Nice food, good portion sizes and tasted lovely. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

Delicious food!! What a surprising find on our trip - so glad we stopped.

Had a delicious lunch at this lovely pub. Really good and varied menu and the beer and wine choice was also excellent. The service was friendly and prompt. Lovely views from the front of the pub too with a good beer garden. A very good experience which I would like to repeat very soon.

Lovely village pub. Very good food and friendly service. The 3 times we visited the pub it was quite busy so maybe best to book a table if you want to eat. Will definitely return when back in the area.

Traditional pub, with Traditional pub food and some specials. Lovely views.

Nice pub with a nice atmosphere, and the food was tasty too.

Called in on the off chance as it was just a short detour from the A303 on our return to Devon. What a delightful English pub. Service was prompt and the food lovely. Looking forward to another visit this summer to make use of the many benches on the Green opposite the pub.

Good food but a bit got a feeling of a rush to get us out after we had eaten when we wanted to sit and have a few drinks

Great food and service, also three good real ales. Good location with stunning views outside. Definitely recommend.

Amazing pub where dogs are welcome, excellent food. Prepared fresh, meat is prime and fish was very fresh, the pie was amazing and real home made, including pastry

Our first visit. What a lovely pub. We went to celebrate a family members birthday and were made to feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The menu choice was great and the food was delicious. We were very impressed how the staff accomodated us taking an 11 month old child. We enjoyed a leisurely meal and were not rushed at all. It was just such a lovely relaxed evening and we are all looking forward to returning. Many thanks to the staff. Will certainly recommend to our friends and family.

So disappointed. We have been to The fox on so many occasions, we are a walking club and always, when in the area, call in to have numerous pints and food. There’s always 4 or 5 of us and although we never think to book the staff can usually accommodate us. Went in today and were surprised at how empty it was. We thought nothing of it and ordered our beer and food. To be fair the beer was great and the food, chicken pie, was very tasty. When we got the bill we discovered there was a £13 charge for service. £13 for bringing the food from the kitchen to our table. Needless to say we will now eat in the pub down the road when we walk there. So so disappointed.

My friend and I have often meet up at the Fox and Hounds and usually the staff are helpful to our needs. She has to have a gluten free and a low sodium diet, so menus can be quite limiting for her. But this pub has always been very good at making Gluten batter for the Fish, until now. The waitress seemed really put out that she had to ask the Chef if this could be done, the answer came back no. So she asked if the fish could be cooked without the batter. At first the waitress said no it was all pre-battered, then decided to check with the chef. It turned out it was possible to have the fish without the batter, great! Our food arrive, I will say my Green Thai Curry was very nice. I noticed my friend looking very carefully at her fish, then I asked her if it was cooked? The middle was raw, I could see it wasn’t at all flaky in the middle and cold to the touch. When our plates were cleared we were asked if everything was ok, my friend said her fish was raw in the middle, to be told it was the bit near the skin and just looked like that! Rubbish! The plate were taken away and the fish was going to be checked by the chef, but nobody came back and said anything, until my friend asked the waitress as she passed by. Only to be told that the fish was cooked, which it obviously wasn’t! No apology was given, no money taken off the bill, no free coffees offered, No customer service! I thought pubs were trying to encourage customers, but not this one!

Wonderful lunch at the fantastic Fox & Hounds. The food is always exceptional, the team are warm, friendly, accommodating and endlessly patient - even when faced with the occasional numpty who strays across their path. Cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone who loves a hearty lunch or dinner and a great glass of wine.

What a disappointment!!! Despite website saying they still cater for gluten free customers, I was told that I had to have let them know in advance and prebook, so no I couldn't have the gluten free battered fish with chips, which I usually have. This has never happened before. The website just says: “please tell the bar staff on arrival and they will inform the kitchen”. The waitress did go and ask the chef if he could help out, but no he couldn't. I then asked if the “catch of the day” came pre-battered and if not could I have it batterless - many restaurant and pubs are able to offer this option. She consulted with the chef who said it was possible! Hurray, I thought. Not so. The fish appeared to get cold very quickly, which I ignored and then I found the last quarter was not cooked through. When I explained why I had left quite a lot of fish, she insisted the fish WAS cookethrough, it just looked that way because it was the bit near the skin, and after showing it to the chef he apparently agreed with her. However, I KNOW it was definitely not cooked through. It looked uncooked, and if you touched it with your cutlery it was not flaking apart, it was still in its raw state of being stuck together. I should like to refer them to the seafood nutrition.org site which clearly confirms that cooked white fish flakes apart!! Needless to say, we won't be returning.

Stopped off on our way from Hampshire to Devon. The pub looks shabby from the outside, but once inside it's very clean, cosy and comfortable. We had a really good Sunday roast and the general menu was interesting with good veggie and vegan options. Very reasonable prices. The dogs were made very welcome. There is a nice beer garden at the side and seating on the green. We will be returning next time we are passing by.

Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the lamb shank and lemon posset. A warm welcome too 😊

Couldn't fault anything. Lovely nut roast with all the trimmings. Rare that you get such a great (and tastey) option for vegetarians. Great value for money and lovely beer.

We were just passing for a night. I have to say: the welcome, the beer, the wine and the food were just perfect. 100%! I can’t recommend it highly enough. My many many thanks. Good prices too. Nothing to regret, well done!

Great food, great staff, loved it

A good place to eat ; the food was excellent and the service was friendly.

Pretty village location, good food and good service, few parking places but no yellow lines. Good value Sunday lunch , very good beef , lamb, and very good fish cakes.

A perfect stop for lunch. Good value. Good selection. Done well.

It's well worth a visit, lovely pub, lovely home cooked food and very welcoming staff. Turn off the A350 at the traffic lights for Stourhead then left at the sign post for The Fox and Hounds. It's a narrow country lane but we'll worth the drive to find such a gem. We will definitely be back.

Had a lovely dinner here with friendly bar staff / server. Relaxed atmosphere and lovely scenery with the beer garden.

Lovely quiet country pub in rural location with amazing view out the front and nice garden patio area at the back. My curry was delicious and generous but my fiancée's mezze board was a little small, particularly the flat bread that came with it. Pleasant staff and overall an enjoyable experience and somewhere we would stop again. Located about 5mins drive from the A303 so very convenient.

Nice friendly pub with good food.

Very friendly service and the biggest and best fish and chips as well as ham, egg and chips!

Very friendly, local country pub. Great food and friendly staff. We were well looked after but not hassled at all. Will certainly be going back next time we are in that area.

Great place for a restaurant style meal at a country pub. Very good selection of starters and main meals, with some classical favourites too. Plenty of choice of beers and ales, and wine selection is a priority for the owners. Food is well presented and quickly served. I would recommend booking as table in doors are limited but plenty of room outside for those sunny day when the views are stunning.

Lovely lunch at the fox and hound with my silver fox and hound great food fantastic views

Fantastic family meal, and a welcome break from the monotony of the A303! I had the bacon-wrapped chicken with crispy potato patties and a lovely basil sauce. Everyone else were delighted with their mains. Friendly and speedy service. Lovely views from the bar and dining room.

Had lunch here having walked from West Knoyle. Lovely people, friendly efficient service, good food, well presented. I had a spinach and falafel burger which was delicious in a fresh bun, halloumi, salad and Onion ring. Friends had the mezze platter and a Greek salad which were fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend.

Great views and the food was lovely, good sized portions, the curry was one of the best pub curries I have had. The only drawback was the closing time of 2.15, I could have sat there all afternoon!

Excellent food, great service & staff really welcoming

Great food, service, friendly staff and beautiful location. We were a party of 8 and pooch and sat in the garden while our meals were prepared. All our meals were delivered at the same time, well cooked and beautifully presented - childrens meal - reviewed by 9 yr old “well cooked and very tasty”. Lovely walks in the area too. Thank you to all the staff for making it a special family get together.

Faultless, good service, great ale, fantastic food!

Went for lunch managed to get a table but my advice is you definitely need to book the food was brilliant made more so as I was able to have a gluten free meal, great beer and friendly staff. We will indeed return but will make sure we book as im sure this pub will get very busy as the seasons go on.

What a great little pub. Friendly staff, fab choice of beers and good food.

Great food and beer, lovely host.

Well presented food, friendly service. Had a service charge added which I must have missed on menu. An nearly tipped again.

Really fantastic food and a very warm welcome. All home made and just what we want from a country pub. Highly recommended!

Great menu, well cooked food and good beer 🍻

Great proper pub,high standard of pub grub.Good ales and drink selection.

Had a lovely meal with friends here recently, the staff were welcoming and the pub itself is nice inside. Good choice of food including vegetarian options. We all enjoyed our meals which were well cooked and hot. Only down side, there were no dairy free options for dessert or cheese and biscuits.

Lovely food, friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent. The licensee was welcoming and friendly. Service efficient and quick.Food was perfect and good value.It was very important that my very special friends had an enjoyable farewell meal.I live locally and have been very disappointed with two other local establishments who have embarrassed me with very poor service and attitude. The Hunters Lodge Lee common and Kings Arms Charlton Horethone are establishments I will never return to!The Fox and Hounds gave us a great farewell lunch and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Lovely pub in the country. Allows dogs so got to stroke a few which was nice. Quite expensive for what I got, but tastes alright.

During our stay in a cottage in East Knoyle we were recommended the Fox & Hounds. We were not disappointed. We enjoyed then pub atmosphere and the food was excellent. Fairly priced and well cooked and brought to our table by a friendly waiter. What more would you want. Thanks to the Fox and staff.

Fantastic food and excellent service

Excellent Sunday lunch in a traditional dog friendly pub.

We visited this pub twice while staying in the area. Very friendly staff and a good menu. Parking can be a bit of a challenge

Really well looked after, very friendly and good food and beer! A lucky find!
