Fox & Hounds in Daventry

Sound little boozer, great fish and chips and Hawkstone on draft lovely

Shame it's closing - nice friendly little pub with good hosts

Have just found this little gem by accident. We were greeted by the lovely landlady who explained that as it was Friday, the fish and chips were £10.95! Absolutely excellent value for what turned out to be a lovely plate Of food. Hawkstone Lager on draft which pleased the Mr no end! Absolutely delightful spot to find. We will definitely return.

Lovely pub…and the chicken supreme I had was to die for, with so much flavour. You got to try it for yourself to understand. My partner had a beef burger and it was humongous and so nicely made and presented. All for such a good price. Loved the Hawkstone cider too.

Not enamoured with the food we had It wasn't totally as described on the menu which spoiled it for us.

Good food in a fascinating place, amazing and really nice staff!

Popped over to this nice little pub for a Mauritian food night after seeing an ad on Facebook and was pleasantly surprised. Food was excellent with lots of flavours. Would definitely recommend and look forward to coming back to try new dishes.

Not much on the menu was available, same with the drinks menu, servers were nice and friendly

Nice pub serving Hawkstone cider from Diddly Squat Farm

Very friendly bar and restaurant staff

Lovely little gem of a pub found when driving. Stopped for quick lunch, food was amazing and the staff are so lovely.

An early dinner after a long walk with a hungry teenager and the dog. We found it was Tapas night. The food was lovely, beautifully cooked, the service was great and the pub was comfortable and friendly. We will be back.

This was one of our favorite lunches while visiting the UK. Lamb Kafta, Greek salad, and burger. Tea and coffee. It was all delicious and the staff were so friendly and hospitable.

We dropped in for a cup of tea around lunch time and found the staff, the customer service, and the comfortable atmosphere in the bar to be so good it was worth mentioning in a review. I wouldn't hesitate to have a meal here if I'm passing through again.

We've had an amazing experience tonight! Not only do they have incredible food, cozy atmosphere and a great menu to choose from, but the warmth and joy of the staff really was the cherry on top. Would 100% recommend if you're looking for a nice evening out!

Absolutely lovely place, and the service is always with a smile and a nice chat.

The 3 of us enjoyed our meal after a round of golf. Well priced and good portions. Piping hot and very tasty! Definitely coming back.

Lovely place and great food. Had chicken burger and beef burger and there were both very good. Nice choice of wine too ! Recommend! 😊

Great food will definitely go back

Warm, friendly and welcoming with great food and lovely staff. Highly recommended

Popped in for a drink. Lovely friends welcome.

Very good Sunday lunch today with friends, everything spot on, warm, good service, food and wine lovely, and cheerful staff. Recommend!

Lovely staff so kind & happy , fantastic Sunday lunch will definitely return in the new future , martini espresso the best I have had

12 of us went for Sunday lunch as a birthday treat, the staff couldn't have been more attentive (but not intrusive), the food was delicious and good portion sizes, and they had a local ale on. Will definitely be going again.

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere and amazing staff team, I would highly recommend the Fox and Hounds all day everyday, their steak puts Miller and Carter (my old favourite) to shame for less than half the price!!! Will make this my new stopover whenever I am in the area.

Lovely atmosphere and staff. Incredible food definitely not your average pub grub but still really reasonable prices. Can't wait to go back 😋

Visited this pub after 2 years to meet up with my college friend of 29 years, after a two hour journey, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our ploughman’s platter and delicious beef burger was just what we needed before our long walk in the village where I grew up. It’s great to see a good village pub as lots of them seem to be disappearing these days. Would definitely recommend.

Popped in for a quick bite as new menu was very appealing. Pleasantly surprised by the sandwiches which were so delicious and filling. It was very good for the price as they came with a really moreish side salad and crisps. Really look forward to trying more dishes on the menu soon. We previously went for a curry night and the Spanish night and were not disappointed. Staff are always so friendly. Well done 👏

Nice place for food. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and the food is very good. It's not too far from us so we will be back :) Update: We been here 4 times now and everything has been good each time.

Was ok nothing really special, you can see the change of management. The vegetables of the roast was really bland not flavor. Poor service

Delicious food, and friendly people. Pretty empty when I visited, but it was a miserable mid-week in January! If I were closer I'd go regularly

Lovely pub, lovely food, very reasonably priced. Can recommend the chicken and beef burgers, and the fries and onion rings are fab too :)

Having seen so many mixed reviews about this pub, we were reluctant to go for a meal there. But our usual pub were booked up for Sunday roast and we thought to give it a try to see for ourselves. What a pleasant surprise. Roast was just fantastic and desserts so wonderfully presented, appetising and delicious. Could not fault service and food was served very promptly. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Good choices of wine at decent prices.

Starters were good. Well presented and tasty. However, two mains were not. A burger, was greasy, and a pasta dish tasted bad. When we came to pay we were expected to still pay for one of the bad dishes, despite eating none of it and not having it replaced. They were able to remove one dish for tasting bad, but not the other, arguing it was personal taste! The waitress argued this for a considerable amount of time, before we left. Upon leaving, the waitress muttered a comment that I returned to clarify. Tempers began running high here - we’d had a very bad meal and staff couldn’t be less caring or accommodating, so myself the waitress were now exchanging cross words. Out of nowhere, a blond man, presumably the chef, ordered me out, accusing me of taking pictures of his staff. Which I wasn’t. This man chased me out of the pub, just the two of us at this time, charging towards me in a threatening manner and went around to the car park where my elderly grandmother was getting into the car and took photographs of them too. Why, I do not know? I felt so threatened by him doing this and having no idea what he may do next, I called the police. Management have been keen to deny this happened (more, deny his actions were threatening) and I am certain they will do so again here, which is a shame. As a community pub, managed by a woman, it is sad to see her defend the actions of men intimidating women.

Service and food was very poor. Staff disorganised and uninterested. Sadly we won’t be returning, which is a shame as we were regulars when the place was under previous management.

I used to really enjoy a trip to this pub. My husband has never been a fan but I insisted we went for lunch recently. I’m SO disappointed with the change of staff, quality of food, service and general atmosphere. The place was dirty, the food was poor and took such a long time to come. I’m not in a hurry to come back. What a shame as it was so good.

Lovely dinner, just what I needed after a long week. Squid was perfect, could tell it was freshly made and not out of a packet. One of the best ones I’ve had in a long time. Really enjoyed the king prawn linguine too, very “moreish”. Good choices of food available and welcoming staff. Drinks are very reasonably priced.

We booked last Saturday for a dinner , recommended by our friend ,we heard that there is new owner with good menu and a chef that have passion for food , when we arrived we been seated straight away by lovely waitress named Liv , drinks arrived fast and orders been taken ,not long after we revived starters Mushroom Arancini and carrot and coriander soup witch was full of flavor and presented nice , then mains.. Chicken Carbonara and Sea bass wow it was like bringing us to Mediterranean coast again so good , only let down was the dessert but taking all experience was very good for a pub / restaurant that size , we defiantly will be back when we visit our family . Thank you

UPDATE- Fox & Hounds under new management - Not eaten here yet November 23 Went for our 25 th anniversary meal here, they catered to our needs and made it a really specially occasion. As always good food and wine recommended by David and Sarah. The black squid ink pasta was 👌

Lovely Sunday Roast last week. We were here a couple of months ago since the pub had been under new management, for a Spanish themed evening. Although food was fantastic but service was chaotic. We decided to give it another try as my friend had been for her birthday and said they had a fantastic time. Had to wait slightly longer than expected but it was busy and we had not booked. The friendly staff checked on us to make sure we were okay and offered us some olives while we waited, which was nice. Food was worth the wait, the lamb and the pork were equally delicious with generous servings of vegetables. Apple sauce with the pork would have been perfect as hubby loves his apple sauce but nevertheless it was very good and would highly recommend. I’m glad we tried again. It is a community owned pub and the new management has definitely transformed the place as it felt less formal and more welcoming than what I know of if before. Loved the wood burner being on. Keep up the great work. We’ll see you soon.

This was my first time here in a good few years as I had grown up in the area, and I guess was under new management. On arrival, staff were very friendly and helpful. We came for a roast and had waited an hour for our lunch to arrive. We had the pork and on the menu it said with stuffing and crackling. No crackling in sight so had to ask for some. The pork didnt look like it had been sliced from a whole pork joint, it was more like thin pork steaks which were dry and chewy. Vegetables were undercooked and were quite hard. We asked for apple sauce but they didnt have any. The food was just very underwhelming and disappointing. The staff were so friendly and helpful, just the food was such a let down unfortunately! I noticed a couple other tables waiting for a long time for their food, and overheard that they'd run out of certain things too, and just felt sorry for the young waiting staff having to apologise. I dont think we will be coming back again.

Came for the Mauritian themed night, and the food was lovely. The mains especially were very unique, well cooked and full of flavour. It was a shame the dining area was quite quiet as the cooking deserves to be tried by more people. Service was good, mostly we were served by the woman who seemed to run the evening, but the younger servers from the bar were also friendly and did a good job. Will definitely return to try so more Mauritian delights!

Delicious burgers and desserts on Halloween. The team had put so much effort in to making it a fun night. Great pub 😊

Went for Sunday lunch with friends yesterday and had a splendid meal. Very generous helpings of roasts very nicely presented, (though the Yorkshire puddings left a little to be desired but that's a minor point) and excellent apple pie. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Plenty of customers in the dining room, and more arriving as we left mid-afternoon. Thank you.

Was visiting some friends in the area and popped in for lunch. Enjoyed a delicious seafood board which was a generous portion, enough for 3 to share. The king prawn linguine was beautiful too, washed down with some bubbly. Returned the next day for a great roast dinner. Unusual ingredient in the red cabbage but was very yummy. Cauliflower cheese also included within the price which was a bonus as other places charge for these separately. Staff seemed busy Sunday but still made us feel welcomed. Will definitely pop back in when in the area again.

Brilliant food on Friday for the Mauritian night. Great portion sizes and atmosphere. The staff were so helpful and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the traditional Mauritian food so much we ordered extra to take home with us! Delicious and highly recommended!

Nice for lunch. A bit quiet, but that's because not enough people.know about it! Reasonable prices.

Popped in after work for a pint and a bite too eat ,staff where really attentive and freindly and they had a Mauritian themed food night which was great so had too try that wow the food was amazing flavours and portion size was brilliant...

Have been here twice this week only to find it closed, there should be an opening times notice outside, as it's 3:30 pm on a Thursday and the website says it should be open now. It's not!

Arrived at 7.30 for pre booked table. Staff looked confused at our party of 5 and then showed us to a table for 4 which obviously couldn’t seat us all. They then sent us back to cold empty bar. We waited for drinks to arrive...

Went for the first time for our wedding anniversary… maybe should have picked somewhere we knew but this pub was local to us. There were 2 staff in total running the bar and the restaurant on a Saturday. The meal wasn’t great. Steak sauce was...

The worst restaurant service I've ever had. So slow for drinks and starters, and when mains came around we only received 3 out of 8. When complaining we were pushed behind other tables and offered no money off. We left with 5 people having no meals because of the huge delay, and even the food that came wasn't that good. We left with a 20% discount (because we kicked off) and picked up a McDonald's as a better option.

Very disappointed. Lovely helpful staff but the food was poor. One roast potato flat greasy Yorkshire pudding. Uncooked broccoli. Never again.

Very disappointed to arrive at this establishment for a prebooked Sunday lunch to find the pub empty and the staff awaiting guests for a private function. We had travelled 34 miles to meet our friends and were left with no lunch. The manager was informed...

Lovely meal here with friends. Decent sized portions, friendly staff and clean facilities. Community owned pub. Only downside was the amount of smoke coming through to the bar area from the kitchen. It really hit you as you walked through the door, cleared after a...

Came here for my birthday! steaks tiny and full of fat for the price, pies tasteless and watery if you go for something have chicken supreme as that was lovely… new menu apparently very disappointing such a shame how hard is it to make a decent meal 😟 wish we’d gone somewhere else.

Used to pop in here occasionally on my way to Banbury. Food was always good, you didn’t get much tho and the beer selection was always random. New owners seem to have sorted that out as I went away full after a very tasty dinner...

Well what a splendid example of thoughtful, considered, constructive criticism that was. Would you like to tell us what the pub staff said to you when you made your views known at the time? Or are you one of those who only hurl abuse from...

Appalling. Have been a frequent client but it’s now under new management and have had a terrible experience. Staff didn’t know one wine from another. £10.50 for a glass of wine!! One knows when the place isn’t going to be busy as the two staff...

Lovely new owners , trying their best. Menu was very limited, but they are working on this, so we were told. Pleasant staff, happy and accommodating. Needs a lot of hard work, but I'm sure they'll get there.

My wife and I popped in for nibbles and a drink. We had the Charcuterie board. It was extremely generous. Staff were great. Spoke to the owners who were really friendly. Great spot defo recommend.

had a waitress called Thandi she was absolutely amazing.Terrific Service and i would return again.

We popped in to this charming pub on our way home and wow so happy we did. The food was amazing, perfectly seasoned, generous portions and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pub is beautiful. We wish we lived closer!

Popped in for a nice midweek dinner at our local & enjoyed the summery options of sea bass and pea & asparagus risotto, washed down with a good pint of IPA and a glass of rosé. Starters of goat cheese salad and salt & pepper squid were tasty too. We didn't have room to try the desserts... next time perhaps.

We chanced by the Pub and pleased we did. It is a charming place both inside and out with tasteful decor, comfy seating and a spacious restaurant. Everything was clean and tidy including quite elegant washrooms. Our hostess, Mindy, was very charming and attentive and nothing was too much trouble for her and the staff team. The bar was well stocked with various lagers, ciders, Guiness but no real ales on show. A good range of spirits also. We chose to eat as the menu offered us teasing choices, limited, yes but this establishment is only 7 weeks old so a sensible way to introducing itself without stretching its resources. We went for the seafood and fish sharing board with dips, garni, dips and charred bread and we were very pleased with this a starter. My wife had the buttermilk chicken burger with triple cooked fat chips, delicious. I went for the King Prawn Linguine however found it a bit bland. Mindy offered a different course but to be fair it wasn't that poor as it is a common theme for these dishes to have an overpowering tomato presence. I prefer a more concentrated base of garlic and white wine but maybe others don't. The meal was accompanied by a well priced and refreshing Spanish Rose served in an ice bucket. Lovely. The Pub runs themed dining evenings and a shame a Curry night wasn't within our visiting dates. We do recommend this friendly hostelry and sincerely hope it succeeds in delivering a valued resource to the community. It has made a great start in our eyes!

Went for the new opening Mexican night and live music, the food was delicious and full of flavour!! Live music was a great addition and brought lots of fun to the pub. Will be back soon!

It wasn't bad, felt a bit unwelcome and service was very slow.

Popped in for a pint but only bottled ale and lager on tap. Need to get some good local ales in to attract the punters.

Fabulous roast dinner and such a friendly welcome from all the team. Thank you for having us and accommodating our dogs too, and letting my husband watch the rugby...nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back.

All Change. Management is changing here. You need to check whether they are open. New menu being established

We stopped by for lunch on the off-chance and were delighted by the friendly welcome and excellent food. Ample parking too. Hope to be passing by again so we can enjoy another visit.

The meal that we ordered was beer battered Pollock with homemade chips, mushy peas ,homemade Tatar sauce . This was cooked to perfection and very tasty , Especially with a pint of larger . For dessert 2 different flavours of ice-cream. The service was first...

Fantastic beer and food. Highly recommend!

Conveniently situated with plenty of parking. Dog friendly pub, nice varied menu, quick, friendly service. Quality tasty freshly cooked food. Would definitely visit again

This place is EXCEPTIONAL My favourite date night experience is here, issuing the word experience as it’s more than just dinner. From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed, shown to a cosy yet unexpectedly atmospheric dining room. This place is very different to...

Gastropub with a varied menu and welcoming staff. Food was great and not overpriced but portions on the small size. Couple of artisan draft beers on tap, which were OK but a standard draft bitter would’ve been nice.

Cozy historic pub hidden in the fields. The owners are friendly and they truly care about the service. Check the roast beef on a Sunday. Excellently made!

We were passing through Charwelton and decided to stop and see if we could have lunch on a Friday lunchtime. We were made welcome and decided to order. The prices were not exactly cheap and when we tasted the food we agreed that "this wasn't...

Food was delicious. Well worth the money. Very friendly pub. Good service and an excellent choice on the menu. Will definitely be going back.

We popped in at lunch time and met the owners who are lovely kind people. Returned in the evening for a beautiful meal with incredible service

Tenants are about to leave the Fox and Hounds so you need to be cautious. Food is currently of a good standard. Wine is very expensive

A pretty country pub with airy dining room. A bit of an effort to get to for me as half of Warwickshire seems to have road works, but well worth the effort. Small but interesting menu. Unfortunately for me 2 dishes with fennel in, which...

Wonderful hosts and delicious food. Thoroughly enjoyed our meals there, have been a few times and the cooking is always exceptional. Thanks very much to the team at the Fox & Hounds.

We've eaten here twice in a couple of weeks. On both occasions the excellence of the food was matched by the warm welcome and considerate service. Good wine selection too.

Absolutely excellent food, and a very exciting menu Very friendly staff, and a great pint of Guinness too

Very enjoyable meal on Monday evening.

God mat, synd att de inte behållit mer av original inredningen

Watch out for opening times! After calling ahead to check, we were told the pub would be open from 12-5, so we set off on our walk. We intended on finishing at the pub and travelling home in the car we’d dropped of earlier. When...

It was warm but not particularly friendly. We chose a table but were asked to move as apparently extra chairs could be added to seat 6 people. There were 2 of us. We moved then were puzzled when within half an hour a couple came in, sat at that table and were not asked to move. The food was ok except the pigeon breast was a bit too chewy and not a good choice of hearty desserts ie apple pie and custard. In fact no custard. We felt uncomfortable taking 2 hours to eat a 2 course meal and coffee even though there were empty tables around us. Don't think I'll be going back there.

Chocolate box country pub. We visited on a Thursday evening, and the bar was lively. They have a hood selection of draught beers/cuders/lager. The restaurant was not busy. Only 3 tables occupied (including ours). It was a shame because it meant there was no atmosphere. The food is top quality, country style menu options (rabbit and venison) plus more traditional dishes. Expertly cooked and presented. Our waitress was lovely, very friendly. We had soup to start, and the portion was big. We have small appetites so unfortunately we were too full to do full justice to our mains. That is totally down to our poor choices. We would come back.

I found some good reviews about this pub, so decided to visit on a business trip. The food and ambiance were outstanding.

Great Staff, really forward thinking and exciting menu well executed. Go and visit.

This is the 4th visit , but only our 3rd supper club evening. Yet again the staff and meal was fabulous…. Looking forward to our next evening . Love the wine paring with the meals and it’s great that my friends all share

Arrived before 1200. Not a problem shown to some comfy seats whilst waiting for the others. Menu had a mix of the expected plus more traditional restaurant choices. Making it more Boutique than Pub food, The quality and presentation of all our meals was exceptional....

My parents treated my husband and I to a meal at the fox hounds to celebrate our recent wedding ‘we eloped’. The food was exceptional. The staff were great & the Owner was so welcoming. The champagne was superb. The host even gave us the...

Perfectly nice meal - the staff were a little unwelcoming when we arrived

I could not be more complimentary of the food and service, it was all top notch. Highly recommend a visit for everyone and a candle in one of our desserts for my partners birthday was such a lovely little touch.

Our first visit to the Fox & Hounds whilst visiting friends who live locally. Very impressed with food & service . . Had a fabulous meal. Would thoroughly recommend 👌

Dropped into the Pub on the off chance of a table at 12.30 Saturday. Welcomed by two great hosts. On the higher side of price for a Pub but worth every penny. Had the Seabass with Mussels and the Porkbelly. Both perfectly cooked and a...

We stopped off for an early dinner, not really knowing much about the place. Food was really excellent, well prepared and thought through. Menu is excellent - little prepandials should you fancy. Wonderful wine list and the owner really knows his stuff - this isn't...
