Fox & Hounds in Bedford

Bland food. Chicken was so dry it was inedible. We will not be returning. The menu is too large for the chefs to make everything fresh. Obvious when the food comes too fast and is poorly executed.

Unfortunately, not a great experience. It was our daughter’s graduation meal (she’s 25). She was refused alcohol at the bar as she’d forgotten her ID (did though have a copy of her passport in her phone). Fair enough, but when we sat down for a meal the gentleman who refused to serve her at the bar didn’t want her drinking with her meal either ! Even though this is legal, she was with her mum , dad and brother (21). The bar man said she didn’t need to drink alcohol ! So pub has lost customers and a bottle of champagne which I would have bought had she not been refused alcohol! Over zealous jobsworth !!!

We had been previously and been very pleased with the meal so for a special Birthday lunch we once again booked here. We were advised that there was no special lunch menu on Saturdays, and several things on the restricted menu were unavailable. I chose to have Dover sole on buttered vegetables, The meals arrived quite quickly my sole was fried in breadcrumbs, and overcooked the buttered vegetables could have been anything with no flavor and a kind of mashed consistency with a very runny sauce accompaniment. For dessert 3 of us decided on the fruit crumble and custard this arrived with custard in a small jug, two of our party asked for extra custard as the jugs were only half full. The waitress said we would have to pay for extra custard we agreed. However, when the bill arrived we were charged £4.50 for the custard. what a rip-off almost the price of another desert.As it was a special meal we just paid up, but we will not be returning

Really friendly staff and lovely food, had such a nice night here! Burger was lovely and some fab desserts! Couldn’t be happier with our experience, everyone was happy in our big group and staff were very accommodating

Service awful food when it arrived not correct then was told didn’t have what we ordered ended up not eating and it was supposed to be a celebration. Won’t go back

We were warmly welcomed as we arrived and our drinks order was taken at a table of our choice. The wooden beams and log burner were welcome on a cold January day. The beer was well kept and the service very good. Our meals were delicious - chicken, bacon and avocado salad and a liver, bacon and mash. Lots of special days eg Welly Wednesday with beef wellington on offer are a lure to bring us back! Thanks

A very good village pub with spacious bar area and restaurant. Went on Thursday lunch time with a group of friends. Good selection of well kept beers. Food was excellent and the service very friendly and helpful

sunday lunch time the steaks for which they are renowned, appear to be off the menu however the lunches are good

The Fox & Hounds has never let us down. Party of 4, 3 steaks and a Steak & Blue Cheese pie, all cooked to perfection.

This pub was highly recommended. However, it was very poor. We had chicken liver pate. The butter on the pate was so thick that it would not come off and it was messy to get to the pate. It was slightly bitter and not to my taste. The bread was so crumbly it was difficult to get the pate on to it. Chicken liver pate is a favorite of mine and I really did not like it. The garnished lettuce was wilted and did not look fresh, it was sad. The sea bass tasted off and I sent it back. The waiter insisted the two chefs had inspected it and that is how they serve a meagre single filet. I love sea bass and this one just tasted awful. I sent it back. They did not charge for the starters or the main. It was very disappointing. We were the only diners.

Never disappointed here. Friendly staff and food consistently good. However, we have noticed that the steaks are always increasing in price despite us keeping to our normal weight requests. Whilst the quality of the meat is so good so far this not a problem, so please dont change your supplier/butcher!

A nice pub an ok meal... but value for money it was not !.. Certainly not afraid of spending cash on good food.. good service and good wine ... Having had meals at St Helena's and Luton Hoo.. we appreciate good food.. I had the Pork belly which was ok.. unfortunately the pork belly decided it did not like the confines of my tummy and wanted to escape a few hours later !.. Wife's venison looked nice.. she seemed to keep hers down.. lucky girl. and my daughter had a steak which was as tough as old boots.. all in all a quite disappointing. we shall not be rushing back..........

We revisited the Fox and Hounds after a several years absence recently. The pub restaurant is situated in the pretty village of Riseley and about a 10 minutes drive from the A6. Drinks service was prompt as was our food,my steak was cooked perfectly and served with decent chips,a rarity in many pubs we have frequented. My only slight gripe is the prices,and little on the expensive side....but really worth a visit. Visited April 2018.

Went here for a meal with some friends having been told how good it was. To be honest the food was just meeeh, nothing special and for the price it was not worth it. The Steaks were nothing like we expected and will not be rushing back there any time soon.

Excessively long delay before preordered food arrived. Even sandwiches were not ready, and the butter was cut as a lump and not spread onto the bread.

We come here for a treat. If you like a good steak it's heaven pick what you want and cut to what size you want. Hubby had his fillet with sautéed potatoes grilled tomato and mushroom I had new potatoes with mine. Our daughter had a steak burger with chips n salad. All had empty plates excellent as usual. Only had room for ice cream selections and creme brûlée for desert. Staff always helpful. Can't wait for my next visit. So engrossed in meal forgot to take pics

visited early around midday, had coffee and small meal , all was delivered to our table rapidly and food was fresh clean and very tasty. sensible pricing. thank you

Entramos para comer tarde y la cocina estaba a punto de cerrar, así que se aseguró de que nos dieron nuestros pedidos antes de que lo hizo. Se dieron rápidamente en nuestra orden de bebidas, pero no apresurado, y la comida llegó rápidamente. Fueron muy amables y se cercioró de que teníamos todo lo que queríamos un par de veces, lo recomiendo para todo tipo de ocasiones y sin duda les paguen una visita pronto!

It was 5/11/16 but this was my favourite restrant of all time been recommending it to people for years .firstly we entered a pub with kids running wild .there was more staff than customers.the manageress couldn't work the till for our drinks despite having been there for years .we where shown to a table made our choices.while waiting for one of the staff to stop chatting to the rest .we noticed she then came to another table that had came in after us .look his order .we paid for our drinks un left ,we where not asked why we where leaving .guessing they must be used to it .never again

Un pintoresco pub rural en el pueblo de Riseley, fácil de encontrar (El GPS nos llevó hasta allí) acertadamente denominado Fox & Hounds, a nuestra llegada, nos detuvimos a dejar que empiece la caza. Hounds ladrando y conduce con los caballos y los jinetes, incluso después de un par de niños en ponis shetland, a la vista no los zorros en ese momento.

I would say this is very much a special occasion restaurant as it is fairly expensive, although it is worth it the steaks are incredible. Quite difficult to get a table at peak times

Visitamos un sábado por la noche un grupo de cuatro. No experimentar una demora en ser mostrada a una mesa como una fuerte tormenta de repente traídas del exterior diners corriendo dentro.

Visitamos a celebrar nuestro aniversario. Nos recibieron con una cálida bienvenida de el propietario y nos llevaron a una mesa preciosa. El personal era amable y no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros. Las carnes eran increíbles, como los aperitivos y pasteles! Hace un cambio encantador de la comida normal de estilo pub. Volveremos!

Yo no estaba en sacerdote con la comida y las bebidas a precios cambiaron de ordenar en el bar a tomar una comida no lo recomiendo!!

Lovely setting. Great food and very friendly staff. Always best to book as gets very busy. Menu choice is extensive and varied.

we visited specifically because the steaks were recommended and you are invited to choose your steak from the selection and can select the thickness of the cut, so if you really like to be in control of your steak this is an ideal place for you.And it was very good.

I've been going to this pub for around 20 years and its still one of my favs! Great steaks and a good choice on the menu. Always welcoming and happy to accommodate families.

I haven't visited the Fox and Hounds for awhile, but decided to give it a try one weekday lunch time with my mum and it was lovely. I love the decor. Great service too. Always nice when you can choose your own cut of meat and its cooked in front of you. Definitely return

We've eaten here many times now and whilst we've always been tempted to try the other delicious looking main options, we always go for the steak. Cut to your requirements and cooked on the grill in the restaurant, this is not just a gimmick, it's delicious! We've sampled various starters and puddings (if we have room) and never been disappointed. It's a gem :0)

ive been using this wonderfully remote establishment for years .not to oftern as i wouldnt want to spoil the finesse .un altho wish them well dont want them to get to over crowded .but ive never been let down yet .there stake will make your toes curl .plus alt of other saying i wont go into .the land lord is perfect .its the best ive ever found in our country
