Enclosed garden at the back gives extra peace of mind as kids run around and make friends. Dog friendly (on a lead of course) with water bowls stationed around . Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Reasonable prices for food and drink. Had a great time with good friends yesterday but the kids enjoyed it even more. Winner winner

The venue was lovely and accommodating but my steak was not the best. I had an 8oz sirloin that was cooked as expected but it had a long piece of inedible sinew running through it. This spoilt the whole experience

I don't do this often, but the service and standard of food I have received over the past three nights has been nothing short off outstanding. I can't remember the manageress name, but, the way she runs this place is above and beyond the call of duty. Nothing is a bother. She is seriously friendly, but observes everything. She is attentive to her staff and us punters alike. Service was A1 and the food was way above what I expected for the price. Cant recommend this Fox and Hounds enough. Thank you so much for all you did for my colleague and I tonight. Outstanding.

We were a party of 6 + 1 child. Everyone enjoyed their meal except for myself! I should have, in hindsight said something at the time or taken a picture of my steak, but I didn’t want to spoil the birthday celebration meal! I ordered surf and turf as did my brother. Chips,scampi,& all the trimmings were absolutely fine, however my steak was tough and looked like a lump of meat rather than a rump steak! I battled through 1/2 when my brother noticed I was struggling and offered me a piece of his! I gave him a chunk of mine and we both agreed that mine was very tough in comparison to his! Annoying I have had the very same experience last time I was at the fox & hounds-st mellons with the same meal! But, as it is a favourite of mine I decided to give it another go! I would be grateful for your response as clearly your butcher supplier is not up to standard!

El almuerzo del día de Navidad y fue fabuloso. He ido a varias fiestas navideñas este año, pero el Fox and Hounds ha salido primero en mi opinión. El servicio era genial (inusual en esta época del año) , la comida deliciosa. Todo el personal, especialmente el chef y la cocina a ser elogiados. Pensaba que semanas atrás era caro, sin embargo, valía cada centavo. La casera tiene un gran barco organizado aquí.

The tables were cleared and cleaned as soon as people had finished ready for the next customers to be seated. The staff were lovely and friendly and could be seen chatting with their regulars. Overall, this is a lovely family pub with a warm friendly atmosphere and I would strongly recommend it to others.

Ran out of multiple dishes (despite saying they had it when ordered). So had to choose other alternatives that we didn’t want. Good took a long time to come - especially as it was fairly quiet.

Laura and her team at the fox and hound really did go above and beyond for myself and my family for my Mother’s 50th birthday. We were a large party of 24 and from start to finish, all of the staff did everything they could to make our visit as personable and enjoyable as possible - from ensuring all of our food was cooked beautifully and everyone was happy to allowing us to decorate the area with balloons and banners how we pleased. The fox is our usual go to for a last minute meal out or few hours drinking in the beer garden but they really did show top tier service considering the large volume and demand. Would 100% recommend again and again.

Went in for lunch as we’ve eaten here multiple times before. On ordering was told several items on the menu weren’t available which wasn’t a problem. After over half an hour I went to see how long food would be and was told 2-3 minutes as it’s just being played, no problem. 20 minutes later after the food still hadn’t arrived we went up for a refund as the other barman came out with. I told him we were getting a refund as the food had taken almost an hour and he got quite shirty with me and made some comments. I will say the skinny guy with the curly black hair was brilliant and couldn’t apologise enough but the big guy in the blue shirt who had a lenny quality to him from of mice and men was rude and unpleasant and maybe not suitable to work in the service industry.

Visited this evening as a booking of 10 people for a birthday meal. Very impressed with the service we received. Orders taken and promptly delivered to the table. A variety of foods ordered such as mixed grills (all cooked as requested), burgers and children’s meals. Meals were very reasonably priced, good portion sizes and variety available. All staff were friendly and accommodating, particularly impressed with Holly and Tom. Holly was very understanding when a member of booking is a particularly fussy eater. She was quick to offer an alternative and was very understanding. Tom was very friendly whilst ordering and checking we were satisfied with our meal. I would definitely recommend her and will return again soon! Well done Fox and Hounds!

I went with a group of 18 people. We had pre ordered our food. We waited for almost an hour and a half for the food to arrive. Whilst I have no complaints for the food or the price, I don't think the pub should have accepted the booking knowing that they haven't the facilities to produce that many plates of food in a reasonable time.

There were 4 in my group. As I was ordering at the bar we were informed of a 30-45 minutes wait for food. This was due to a delivery. We arrived at 12.30, almost 2pm our food was served. 2 had the lunch options & when I went to order the dessert we were charged full price as we should have ordered with the main. At no point was I asked for the desserts when I was ordering the lunch options main. No apple crumble available, we didn't have any dessert.
