A superb proper pub with real beer kept in tip top condition and offering an excellent selection of fine wines. It's not a foodie pub but the snacks are fine and on occasions lovely food is available from visiting chefs serving from outside. Ignore the rather rude reviews about the landlord, he is the most delightful, welcoming and charming man .

Went to see a singer here, the moment we walked into the pub we were met and served drinks by the owner, we were not made to feel welcome, and felt quite uncomfortable being there, we had one drink and left not hanging about for the singer, the place looked dirty and unkept, we did order food from the car park catering tent which is advertised by the fox , this was cold and inedible, not for us

We have been visiting the Fox on and off for many years. In spite of this it now always feels as though it’s the first time. Unless a regular the welcome is consistently lukewarm and the arrogance of the landlord dominates. If you don’t know your gins or the expensive wines on the list you are definitely frowned upon. Getting past the old cronies in the bar areas is a challenge-perhaps they too are rating the ‘newbies’. The pizza van is the only attraction on Tuesdays and Saturdays - at least he gives a friendly hello and how are you whenever we go back. And the pizzas are great! Sadly the Fox needs to up its game. It used to be a great place for a drink with live music and a landlord is was always friendly, and who warmly interacted with his clientele. A local country pub should be one locals and visitors alike are made to feel welcome. There is certainly a lot of work to be done here to achieve this.

Full of potential in a lovely corner of town with a lovely garden and always used to look lovely in general. It closed for a couple of years through covid but although it was worrying whether it had fallen prey to the pandemic. Seeing it open again 18m ago was a relief. But unfortunately I don’t think it will last more than another 18m. New landlord is very rude unless you happen to be one of the better spoken older men dressed up like they would fit in on a golf course and probably wouldn’t have there ‘private’ area disrupted as much on a large open space, rather than huddling around the already small bar area and clearly not liking others walking through or god forbid wanting to go to the bar!! The huffs and puffs and grumbles are loud and clear. Yet they could be ignored if everything else was as lovely and quaint as it was before covid. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s been dusted or cleaned at all since it was closed for lockdown. Dead plants hanging everywhere, well branches with dead leaves and written wafer like leaves. Layers of Dust on everything and clear to see at the glance round. Toilets are grubby and you can smell the stale over powering pungent urine stench coming from inside the male loos as you approach the entrance!! The floors need a bloody good sweep and scrub! The back bar is crowded and dirty to look at. It’s a very musty stale place these days. And it also shows from outside, driving past in a car!! The paint on all the windows and wooden entrance, signs and front need a good sanding and re paint, the pub itself could do with a lick of white to wake it up a little, and although the food vans are a good idea for the local people, they sometimes look just as bad as the pub behind them that’s slowly rotting away. I used to really enjoy a sunny afternoon in the garden there with a bottle of wine and a good book or catch up with a friend. But despite it being dirty, looking dirty and run down the landlord is not at all welcoming or friendly and that has been the case on several re visits. Most would understand that costs are high reopening a business and turning a profit before painting the walls and tidying the front of the building out But this horrible little man seemingly has no concern for making it a busy little loved local again, and seems happy enough with his little gathering of stuffy pensioners in there also being rude. However there is no excuse for it being so dirty and musty and smelly. A cleaner an hour a day would keep on top of that small pub. And make the world of difference. All I can add is it’s a bloody good job they don’t make and serve food! However it seems it’s more important to have cars parked outside that are worth as much as a small house rather than generally keeping up with building maintenance. Unless he is happy pouring his money down the drain for the rest of his sad existence. I give it 2years maximum until it’s shut for good

The Fox is a fantastic pub and I'm very surprised at any negative reviews on here especially from Baz A, what a very rude review of such a great landlord who is always very welcoming. It has such a friendly atmosphere with lots of regulars who again are very welcoming. My husband says this pub serves the best beer, a great selection of real ales,and it's now got its entry in the Good Beer Guide 2023. The wine is excellent and although the pub doesn't serve its own food it has a variety of pop ups on given nights of the week. The Thai food is especially good. The live music on Thursday and Sunday evenings is brilliant, Nigel has some fantastic bands and singers playing, and if you haven't ventured out to this lovely pub in Fox Corner, I thoroughly recommend you do.

Having used the food trucks in the car park a few times which are great, good food & really friendly people I decided to take a friend into the pub one evening as they were advertising live music. The owner was very unwelcoming, wouldn’t let my dog sit next to me - even though I’d brought a blanket to cover the grotty torn plastic sofa & the music never appeared. Really disappointing as I’ve just moved back to the village & this pub is walking distance so would have used it regularly but never again

Stay on the road. Keep clear of the fox.. For it is the unwelcoming lair of the antagonistic love child of the energy vampire Colin Robinson and Christopher Biggin’s. While the fox looks inviting the management has the personality and drawl of a wet paper towel stuck dragging underneath the shoe of a funeral director. This ‘they’ try to make up for by displaying overly exuberant plumage which still manages to draw the soul from any unsuspecting visitors. Beware, be warned and be driving straight on by..

I was so pleased to see the fox had reopened after worried it would close for good, the new owner nigel is a really nice bloke with big plans for this local. The fox now had live music twice a week and a good selection of local ales... sadly they are not serving food just yet but i've been assured the restaraunt will be opening back up again but for now it's drinks only. The bar staff are so friendly and helpful (kiera being a long standing member) so it makes for a great experince. Overall this is a lovely local and even though it is not serving food (just yet) it's still worth a visit for nice drink!! Well reccomended.

As long as you’re local and a regular, you’ll probably like this pub. For anybody thinking of just calling in, think again. Visited for a casual beer, as I have done on many occasions (although it’s always only been average in terms of surroundings). Saturday afternoon but just one cask ale on, although it was in very good condition. Just taking my seat in one of the two main areas to enjoy said beer, only to be told by someone that they were just about to come in and sit there and that they usually reserve it. I questioned their approach but could tell I was getting nowhere. General atmosphere was akin to the scene in American Werewolf in London, where all other bystanders seem to think I was plainly in the wrong. Briefly, I placed my beer on the bar and left. That’s about it.

Having been brought up around here in the 80's, the Fox was a place you would avoid. Think grumpy customers and landlord, a smoky, dirty bar and the chance of being beaten up late on a Friday night. I am pleased to say all has now changed and the Fox is now a great local pub, meeting place and friendly haven with welcoming locals and staff.

With friends we have used The Fox regularly over the last 4 years, when it reopened and run by a guy names Ed it was excellent. Now it`s looking very jaded. Food a bit inconsistent and as for the beer range forget it, gone the local beer which was worth the visit alone, now the choice is abysmal, total lack of imagination. All of us agreed either the management ups it`s ideas or another pub lost.

Time to pull your socks up, Mr Fox. First, food & drink - of 3 Sunday roasts, one excellent, with thick slices of meat & veg in a separate dish, then two with thin slices & very variably cooked veg on the plate. One occasion, just 2 choices of pretty middling beers. Then the decor, now getting tired after five(?) years - table tops needing refinishing (& sometimes sticky), same pictures on the walls, same music being played. Beware, Foxy! The Cricketers is opening soon.

We chose this pub/restaurant as it is located quite near to Merrist Wood, where we were going with a group of friends to do an Escape Room on a Saturday evening. I telephoned in advance to check if we could book a table and the manager Brad, offered to email a menu so that we could pre-order to save time. This all worked out well and because we were a group of 10 we were given a large table in a side room all to ourselves. We only had drinks, starters and mains but everyone seemed happy with their choices. The Chicken Supreme Pie which I chose, was exceptionally good. Would certainly recommend.

We are very fortunate to have this as our local pub and restaurant. We had a meal there on Friday evening, the first since a recent change in the chef. The food has gone from strength to strength and the new head chef, Shaun Mew is certainly going to be an asset to an already successful venue. Four of us dined and had just a main meal, although the starters we saw going out to other diners looked lovely. We had, calves liver; belly pork; local sausages and mash; and the fish and chips. Each of us was delighted with our meal. The service remains as attentive and friendly as always and the atmosphere in bar and eating areas convivial. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

I’m incredibly fussy when it comes to meat, especially mince. The lamb in this pie was bursting with flavour and great quality. No bits! Loads of cheesy mash on top. It was homestly the best Shepherds pie I’ve ever had. Not cheap but I don’t mind when the quality and flavour is there. The staff were so friendly and informative.

The fox is run by heartfelt bar staff! Words can’t explain how amazing they made my sisters birthday, they laid the table, bought her a card, even sang her a song on the mic. The little touches go a long way!

Outstanding food, the menu is described simply but both starters and main courses far exceeded expectations. The Staff were very warm and atmosphere welcoming. Best pub meal we've had for some time. Congratulations to the new owners! We will definitely be back.

Escape a miserable winter's evening to the warm and warmth of a great local pub. Laid back atmosphere with very well laid on food.

Came here for my partners 50th Birthday party with 13 family & friends and everyone remarked about their food being of top quality and cooked to perfection (my partner is a chef). We had one guest who was in a wheelchair and although it was a little tight in areas it was okay. The staff were very good and could not do enough for us, even though the place was busy, they did a super job. We have been here before (twice) and on all occasions have had a marvellous time. We all would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants quality food and superb service.

Popped in with the kids for a Saturday lunch. Welcoming staff, nice understated decor and really delicious food. The starters were enormous so I struggled with my main. But the quality of the cooking and delicious flavours forced me to persevere! Will definitely be going back!

Visited for dinner one Saturday evening, the food was very good, however the Landlord was rather miserable and this unfortunately tainted the evening.

A family Sunday lunch out - excellent venue and quality food. My wife and I had roast pork and my son had cod and chips. Before I visited I did my home work and interrogated tripadvisor for a recommendation. The reviews of the Fox Inn are absolutely 100% spot on. We should have had puddings but I was out voted! The welcome received was excellent, service was warm and friendly and the food was of good quality and value for money. I recommend a visit.

we had the beef and pork roast yesterday at the Fox Inn,and it was delicious. The vegetables were perfectly cooked and I even asked for extra pork which I got at no extra cost. Some people think the prices are expensive but to get good honest food you have to pay a bit extra,so I can recommend the Fox. It was busy when we turned up but as we booked a table this wasn't a problem,didnt wait too long for our meal. Try it you wont be disappointed.

Met a couple of friends here - we'd never been before and I got the pub from the Good Beer Guide (equidistant for us). Excellent ales and a lovely lunch: sole and liver/bacon were really good. Certainly a pub to recommend highly.

Goats cheese and beetroot starter delicious. Roast beef and all the trimmings - one of the best Sunday roasts I have eaten out in a long time thanks Rupert! Good wine, attentive service, a nice background chatter in comfy surroundings. Can't wait to return!

Food is great, went back for a second night. The only downside is some of the younger staff are random in terms of their service and, I suppose, from one point of view it's great they allow dog owners to bring their dogs, unfortunately the car park is dark and seems to be littered with dog crap, a pile of which is now smeared in the footwell of my new car after stepping in it...not best pleased about that..take a torch with you is my advice!

We stumbled across this pub when trying to find some lunch in the Surrey area. We were drawn to this one as it looked friendly and cosy even from the outside. The inside didn't disappoint either! It was a typical country pub with a great atmosphere. It was pretty quiet, as we got there just after the lunchtime rush and there was one member of staff but the service he provided was lovely. Very friendly and nothing was too much despite him doing it all on his own. The food we had was brilliant and reasonably priced. The menu offered so many good dishes and such a variety, that it definitely took a while to choose! We also couldn't resist a pudding (Chocolate brownie and Sticky toffee pudding) which was equally as delicious! A lovely touch to the place is that you can buy their own sourdough bread, cheese and coffee too!Just wish we lived closer to visit more often but will definitely be back!

Booked last minute for Sunday lunch.The service was good throughout and the menu had a good selection of food to suit all tastes. We decided to have the roast beef which arrived quickly,nice and hot with a good selection of side dishes. We arrived early but the pub soon became very busy with a good atmosphere,best to book before going. Will definitely return and try the deserts next time

With four old friends visiting Guildford for a wedding we wanted to find somewhere between us and them for a traditional Sunday lunch. We have driven past the Fox Inn many times but never stopped. Staff were very friendly and we booked in advance with no difficulty We all had a starter varying from baked camembert through scallops, and soup, to whitebait All were good We then had varying roast dinners. My beef was lovely Unfortunately by 13.00 the Chicken had finished We did not have dessert

I have been going to the Fox for a while now and the food and service is always excellent. However the Sunday Roasts are amazing and best i have ever had, I was . compelled to write this after my Roast beef on my latest visit.

Local bar with friendly staffs. Feel comfortable inside. The music background is a bit loud but doesn't bother at all. Because the songs are good, if you are fans of oldies band such as The Beatles, Bee Gees, or Queen. I feel relax in this place. Still love to come back to this place next time.

I came here for lunch with the other half and her parents, its quite a quirky kind of pub but we went there as we had heard good things about the food. at first look the menu seemed a bit on the expensive side, but after eating you realise its actually good value for the quality and portions that arrived. I had the Roast lamb which was cooked to perfection and a great choice of fresh veg, my girlfriend had red mullet with a risotto that was equally as good, the smoked mackeral pate starter was amazing, I finished with a creme brulee that was delicious. was also great to be able to hang around for a few drinks of proper beer (a local beer from Horsel that was in great condition) and although we were first timers were made to feel welcome by a friendly bunch of locals having a lively chat at the bar.service from the young staff was friendly and polite, We will definitely be back

It was so good to see The Fox buzzy again and the food, especially the fish choices, was excellent and good value. Thursday night is music night there. And the chef excels.

We walked to The Fox over the common from Pirbright (great walk) and had an alfresco lunch without having made a booking. The menu was varied and the staff were more than pleased to answer any questions we had. The food is all home made and there are vegetarian options (not always marked on the manu though, hence the questions to the staff). The food is always of a high quality and the atmosphere in this pub is great. What a difference a change of ownership can make. I heartily recommend this pub.

Spontaneous date night. Popped in, on the off chance as we were staying in the hotel next door. They managed to squeeze us in (I would suggest making a booking as it was so busy) and I’m so grateful they did! Food was first class, I highly recommend the scallops. Great service, with a smile, from our lovely waitress (Ellie). The place was really busy and it had a great atmosphere. We will definitely be visiting again.
