Fox Ilkley in Bradford

Warm friendly staff very helpful with helping get Wfi and making a special coffee as I like

Excellent food, we had the seabass and the steak and malbec pie, followed by the lemon tart, all well worth a try. Great attentive service from Lucy and all the other staff. Just to say thank you to the kitchen staff for a great meal

Great place. Just stopped off here after a long dog walk. The staff were very welcoming and happy to allow dogs in. We had a rare day away from the children so spoilt ourselves with the 3 course deal and some drinks from the large array of choices. The food was superb, all delicious in their own right, none letting the side down, all served very quickly also. Towards the end of the meal (15:30ish) more groups with children just out of school were turning up, but the place is large and friendly enough that it wasn’t too crowded or noisy when this happened. Had a great time and will be coming back in the near future.

Top quality food would recommend

The fox has a wheelchair/pram friendly entrance, carpark can get very tight when busy. I had the pan fried sea bass, very tasty. My wife had the pork belly roast dinner, which she enjoyed.

We booked the upstairs room at the Fox for an afternoon funeral buffet. From our first contact with James we knew it was the right choice. Everyone was so friendly and approachable. The room was perfect, cosy and comfortable on a dreary day. We were advised to under order and I’m glad we did. The servings were generous and the chicken and fish goujons in particular were delicious, as was the lemon tart. Many guests commented on the quality of the food. Thank you to everyone concerned on the day for your kind attention.

I ate here last week and was served by a waitress with a buzz cut (sorry I can’t remember her name). The food was great and the service was excellent, she was super attentive! Will definitely visit again.

Loving this new New Menu. Absolutely divine flavours from all 3 courses. Starter didn't disappoint, I had Goats cheese tart which wasn't too strong. Mushroom starter in a lovely creamy cheese sauce. Mushroom Risotto (yes I love mushrooms) for main which was the nicest I have ever tasted regarding a Risotto. I wouldn't normally go for vegetarian dishes but the flavours were beautiful. Finished off sharing a Crème Brûlée which was light but tasty. All in all a lovely experience.

Had a family event here for 31 people, really great food. Staff were unbelievably helpful with everything from splitting the tab into smaller groups to catering for food allergies. Big thank you from all of us

Extremely overpriced, bang average food! We were waiting for over 50 minutes for our meals, they came out randomly and the quality was not there, especially for the price. Service wasn't great as well. The actual pub and setting is quite nice.

The service here is great & Izzie our server was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. The food & drinks were lovely.

Food was ok, very expensive for what we had. Service was fantastic. We were a large party of 10, felt we were shoved around the corner out of the way, would have been nice to have been in the vicinity of restaurant hub.

Great service- nothing too much trouble Great quality food- all our dishes were delicious and served in good time Pleasant clean surroundings and nice atmosphere.

First n foremost our host Izzie we could not fault her she was amazing explain everything and she even played with little Noah who was obsessed with her. The food wow I got the pork belly roast it was beautiful soft and tender the only downfall was the carrot n parsnip were cold n hard and would drop them for stem broccoli instead. My partner got the dirty burger and fries with a side of halloumi fries and they were perfect along with the burger. My friend ordered the cellaic steak and she enjoyed hers thr only thing we agreed on is they could use less salt. The trio of desserts were actual desserts so that was a surprise but a good. We shall be back for sure and Izzie if you see this keep up the amazing work your a fab host 😊

Beautiful food and attentive staff highly recommend

Visited here last minute upon staying at the Chevin End Guest House for the weeke d with a business trip (which may I add is great for accommodation). The atmosphere was ideal for a cosy dinner for 2, and the selection of drinks and food was plentiful. We were greeted by Hannah and Chloe, who were absolutely lovely all evening. Above and beyond service, and you could tell they actually cared about the quality of our experience. Food was reasonable given the slightly more sophisticated setting. We had the steak pie, which was rich and delicious and the dirty burger! Followed by the trio of deserts, which is a must-have! It's really hard to find a good creme brulee, but this one is perfect! We will definitely be back. Thank you so much, Hannah and Chloe, for making our evening so wonderful 😊 Martin & Francesca

Ate here tonight with my husband. The customer service wow! So so attentive, the chef was on his own, they told they might be a slight wait. I hard pork belly, my husband and the rare lamb. It was absolute perfection. Highly recommend

It's ok. But the atmosphere is a bit frenetic. Worn. And they often run out of dishes so eating there is a bit of an ad hoc thing. Nice staff though. Ok pub.

All four of us had an amazing meal, and the staff were absolutely brilliant. We will return. Highly recommend

We only called in for a meeting but atmosphere and beer was really good.

We visit this restaurant regularly for a nice evening meal and the food has always been of a good standard. However on this occasion for some stupid reason there was a DJ on inside the pub. Right in the middle next to the restaurant and the noise level was horrendous ! We booked on-line at your website and there was no mention of this, had there been we would have booked another day. It went on for the whole duration of our meal. The staff were as helpful as they could be in seating us as far away as possible but it was still uncomfortable.

We came a couple of weeks ago for a Sunday lunch after a tiresome weekend. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Lisa who smelled amazing served us and made us go home with a smile and are looking forward to the same food and service when we return X

Loved every minute. We arrived early so we could have a drink outside in the sun before having an amazing Sunday lunch. Finished our meal off with a delicious cocktail and mini pud, staff were so helpful and attentive. We will definitely be back to try more!

Lisa and co are always on hand to make me and my family welcome. There’s always different themed days going on too. Great service and if you don’t fancy eating, it’s nice for a drink too.

A Touch of Class in Menston We came to the Fox on a recommendation and were not disappointed . We were met with a warm welcome and prompt service . My wife chose Fish Cakes from the 2 course menu and I opted for a succulent Roast Lamb from the Ala Carte menu . We strongly recommend you consider the Elderflower Fizz if you have a driver in your party , strongly laced with Fresh Mint . Both meals were well presented and flavoured and we received charming attentive service from our waitress Lisa . We both opted for deserts , which fully met our expectations . ( Chocolate Brownie and A Lemon Tarte) We came to celebrate a key event in my retirement and would certainly expect to return .

We really enjoyed having lunch at the Fox today, the service from Lisa, Adam and Chloe was excellent. Always super friendly and they'll put special requests through to the kitchen no issue. The Hake special was delicious and would highly recommend. Will be going again next week.

Beautiful little pub with great food & friendly staff we were served by Lisa. would highly recommend! We will be back!

Friendly staff, good food at reasonable prices, real ale, nice ambiance. Highly recommend.

Great evening meal. Nothing too much trouble for the staff especially Yasmin, Lisa and Adam. Will be returning very soon.

Can't help resonate with other reviewers in stating that the food is bang average/average pub grub for above average prices I'm afraid. Nearly £20 for a "dirty burger" which is just a single patty with some bacon and cheese. Much better can be had elsewhere for a lot less. Quite underwhelming actually as I'd heard such raving reviews about this place, not for me.

Really nice food, great prices and nice atmosphere. Izzie our host was great, really attentive, constantly checking we had what we needed and if we wanted more drinks. Lovely way to celebrate the wife’s birthday. Nice little dessert as a surprise too. 👍

Don't bother. Bland food & really *really* slow to be served. Visited last week for lunch, didn't seem busy; in fact it wasn't busy. Staff were OK, but they were let down by the quality of what they were bringing out of a kitchen that had left the hand break on. And couldn't find first gear.

Service was very good, food delivered quickly (unlike the last time we visited a few years ago). More vegetarian options would have been appreciated. Overall a present visit.

Lovely meal and great service from Lisa and Yasmin. 25th anniversary meal with some sweet touches

Staff are delightful and helpful. Their choice of starters are amazing expecially scallops.

A nice trendy drinking and dining venue. Excellent dinner offer of Wine and Dine £100 for two.

My wife and I had arranged to have lunch with friends, who suggested that we meet up at The Fox. We expected that being a pub, it would be the usual "pub grub" that would be served. When we arrived, we were amazed at the scope of the menu. There was a very wide selection of dishes available from the usual pub favourites to more sophisticated fare. The service was absolutely first class from both the bar staff and from Lisa who looked after us. Not only that but the food was beautifully presented. So, it was a nice lunch time meeting up with old friends whilst at the same time enjoying some first rate cuisine. This is a good all round pub. It has a good selection of ales in the bar, it serves food to cater for all tastes, including those who want something a bit different, all backed up by excellent service. This was our first visit to The Fox, but we shall definitely return.

Great service from Nia. Fab night, thank you. 😊

Delicious, generous portions. Fast, efficient and friendly service. Will defo be back soon

This place employs some insolent and arrogant staff. The teenage bar staff are reckless and disrespectful and management are no better. Food is usually ok but they won't be seeing me again unless I'm forced back into the pub. If you dare politely complain about disdainful service, they refuse you. Absolutely horrible people who don't care about anyone; it's all about taking your money in return for an insulting experience.

Very nice place dam good food will definitely be going back.

Lovely food in a very welcoming restaurant. We all chose different dishes and all were very happy with them. One had the beef and Malbec pie and raved about it. I had the sea bass fillets. They were outstanding.

Excellent food with speedy service and nice waitress Lisa

Beautiful meal, great service! Lisa is an absolute asset to your company, 5/5 stars for her service!

We enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch in a great location with fine food and incredible service from the staff especially Lisa who took great care with our allergy requests

Lisa was an absolute star, the restaurant couldn't do enough for us. Strong recommend from me

Superb food and service, as always. Wonderfully looked after by Lisa, and the whole team. A nice, warm and friendly environment - can't wait to visit again soon!

Lisa was out sever today and she is always fantastic! Thank you! Our local pub, food can vary but we enjoy the fires and cosy atmosphere. Child Friendly, always accommodate non menu food requests and the staff are always very lovely and helpful. Lovely staff, and always happy to accommodate.

Lisa, Emily and Jacob were very helpful! Compliments to Sam the chef

Fantastic place to have good service, food and atmosphere.

Great Sunday lunch and dessert. Pork was brilliant. Lisa was brilliant. Definitely back soon.

My mum and I spent a lovely few hours at the Fox and would highly recommend it. The menu was compact but had something for everyone, we both tried something new to us and these dishes were also ones we've not seen anywhere else were pleasantly surprised...only disappointment was that we didn't have room for a full size desert 🤣 but both the mini puds we had with a coffee were very tasty so at least we both had the option to satisfy our sweet tooth without feeling too full 😁 The staff were lovely, helpful and friendly and the place itself is very tastefully decorated, with subtle background music making for a nice ambience. We haven't been for a few years but were not disappointed and will definitely be making a return visit ⭐

Disappointing meal- having been several times before always enjoyed top quality food-not this time!

Thanks Emily 😊 at The Fox for a lovely evening on Friday 17 May, 6pm. We love the whole place. Tonight was just as good as usual made extra special by Emily and team too. Gillian x

Lovely food and service Lisa made us all feel welcome. Would definitely visit again. Our friends said they do a wonderful Sunday lunch too.

Lovely up market styled pub... Great food

Just been for lunch today with friends, who I have to say we're very impressed with the experience. Food was excellent. Lisa looked after our requirements and was very attentive and pleasent. I highly recommend The Fox. We have been a few times in the past for midweek lunch and Sunday lunch, the food and service is very consistent. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely dining experience

Mrs took me here and it was banging. Food is really good and the staff were all really nice and on it too.

Havnt been to the fox for years due to a bad experience. we decided to go for sunday and it was on point. We had abit of a wait due to a large group came in before us so our waitress chloe organised free complimentary coffees for our table. Chloe was very tentative and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be going back. Many thanks.

Honestly one of the best meals I have tasted. Food was amazing and the service was fantastic from Molly. Will definitely be back next time I'm down from Edinburgh

Our go to place in Menston. Good food and great service.

Lovely food, fabulous atmosphere and perfect service. Emily in particular couldn’t have been more helpful.

The Fox are now doing Brunch on Saturday and Sundays. The breakfast was delicious and great value for money

Very courteous staff and good food

Great food and service by lisa 👌

Had a fantastic night, great service and beautiful food. Also the Sunday lunch is amazing.

We had a lovely birthday meal with friends here on Thursday evening (18 April). Great food, wine and atmosphere. Emily looked after us really well, she was patient and understanding of our needs.

It pays to look out for offers these days. I had a wonderful fillet steak with all the trimmings and my wife was full of praise for lemon sole with brown shrimps which came free thanks to a “Treat a friend” deal !!!!

Food was great, our server Lisa was amazing, would definitely recommend

We had a lovely experience here at the Fox for my dads birthday! The food was lovey and our waiter, Lisa, was not only amazing at her job but super informative when it came to allergies and immediately put me at ease. Olivia, our other waiter, is a credit to the team and a lovely, smiley young person! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Lunch was lovely. The pate coulis was very tasty. Chicken and mozz sandwich was well presented. Server (Lisa) was very good and professional. Decor was wonderful. My only tiny negative was that the sink tap in the ladies was very loose.

Excellent food, generous portions. Although busy at lunch, it wasn't noisy. Lovely cosy atmosphere. Lisa was very attentive, no rush to order (we were too busy talking!), nothing too much trouble. Prices on par with other eateries. Well worth a visit.

When i went i had a lovely meal, the best thing was the service, especially the lady who served me (Lisa). I also loved the atmosphere as it’s super welcoming.

Very nice food and very accommodating staff. We hadn't booked but they fit us in.

Great food. Warm and pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Our server Emily was very happy to help with anything we requested and the food was delicious will definitely be back

Food was great, Emily was really attentive and welcoming

Our server Lisa was so helpful, we were a walk in pretty late on Easter Monday but she managed to get us a great table and was great. The food was delicious.

Fantastic food and service from Em & Lexie, really looked after us nothing too much trouble

Five of us had a lovely lunch here today. Four roasts and a vegan burger. The food was all amazing and the service was above and beyond. We'll definitely be returning!

Lovely roast and sides for birthday treat. Favourite cider on draft (Aspall). Service from Lisa was great. Will be back!!

Great evening & fantastic occasion, can’t wait to come back

Amazing service from start to finish. The waitress was extremely helpful and friendly - we’ll definitely be back

Adam thanks for the best salad we have had for a long time, in a nice environment with a little of your conversation - great experience

We were with a group of 22. Even though our food was pre ordered, service was extremely slow . Food was bland. Battered Cod was over cooked the batter was tough and the cod very dry.The meal was booked for 1pm and at 4pm we were still awaiting our desert.

Excellent service and food. Our waitress Emily was very professional.

Our local pub. Amazing food and drinks. Big thanks to Emily for her great service 👌

Just got home from a great 3-course mothers day meal. The food was really good from the set menu (only knocked a star off because the saffron velouté was a bit thin and the diced tomato felt a little out of place, but I'm probably just being picky). My yuzu margarita I could've had a bathtub full it was perfect. Overall Molly was an absolute delight and very patient with my million questions (I'm so sorry haha) and made it a brilliant end to my mothers day!

thank you molly you were so lovely and always making sure our table was okay! it was amazing

I came to the Fox with my mother and aunty (who can be awkward!), we had a wonderful meal & our waitress Emily was wonderfully patient with them! We've also had another waitress who sat us today (I'm so very sorry I've forgotten her name) who is always brilliant and helpful too! It is always such a lovely experience coming to the Fox I couldn't recommend it more! The food is delicious but the staff are just wonderful!

Great food and brilliant service. Our server, Em, made sure we had everything we needed and often popped over to make sure everything was okay. The food was served very quickly with no lapse in quality. There were many items to choose from, even on a Sunday. Will definitely be going back!

Em and Hywel were amazing, the food was fantastic and 5 star customer service . So good we bought a gift voucher for our friends birthday 🎁 we can’t wait to come back for more yummy food and wine xxx thank you all xx

Great service from Lisa, who couldn’t do enough and made us feel welcome. Food is great, fantastic cosy place - and very popular - book early

Compliments to the chef sauces to die for loved it all

Lovely place and atmosphere Always helpful, friendly and efficient staff Food is excellent Great choice of food and drink

Very pleasant evening with good food and an atmosphere fit for the evening.

Came in with my grandma tonight and was welcomed by the amazing staff, food was amazing all three courses of and our server Emily W made the experience even nicer. Will be back again!!!!!

My fiancé and I had the most wonderful Valentines meal at the fox, as regular visitors we are never disappointed however our overall experience last week was unforgettable. We enjoyed a 3 course meal of scallops, steak and dessert accompanied with champagne. All courses were cooked to perfection and really tasty, we can highly recommend the chocolate bomb dessert. Just to add to a wonderful night the service was without a doubt amazing, the staff always go above and beyond and the restaurant itself has a brilliant atmosphere and a really cosy ambience. I can't wait for our next visit. Also to mention the Sunday roasts are the best around!

Table wax ready for us with room to bring a Weimaraner as requested. Waiter was very attentive and drinks came very quickly. Food was delicious and atmosphere was very friendly. Table next to us love the dog which made the whole experience very welcoming. Have been going to The Fox for the last 25-30 years and will continue to visit . Fantastic experience.

Sunday lunch was lovely and very good. Our waitress Emily B was very attentive and helpful. Would highly recommend.
