Fox Inn Tamworth in Tamworth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Never again....waited (as 'instructed') at the front door to be seated....After several minutes of waiting and no one arriving, we entered the pub/restaurant to look for a vacant table. We were immediately approached and told to go back and wait by the door and the manager would come to us....After waiting for several more minutes and no manager arriving, we promptly left and went to another local pub/restaurant (we do have several local choices) where we were immediately approached... This was not on a busy Friday night, but around 4pm on Friday 23rd. This is not the first time that the service here has been a tad rude...but it will certainly be the last

Eaten here a fare few times and always been good. Today's food was the best visit yet

Great pub, nice and busy with a local feel, very welcoming. Good selection of drinks, friendly staff.

We were two couples out for a meal we ordered 1 fish&chips,1 lamb shank & 2 lasagne, the lasagne was like a soup in a bowl with floating paste !! we sent the lasagne back and ordered 2 different meals.The waitress was very understanding and very polite.

Very warm and welcoming pub lovely location and garden well worth a visit

Excellent meal, value for money. Charming our waitress was an excellent hostess.

Scampi and chips were delicious and my dog quickly scoffed his chicken sausages from the dog menu. Dogs are welcomed warmly in the bar but not the restaurant. One of the grumpy locals informed me as I entered the pub as a visiting lone female. The beers are well kept and tasty plus a bonus on a Monday visit were they’re discounted! Highly recommended on the edge of Tamworth towards Lichfield. 😊🍻

Came for lunch on Thursday and the food was 1st class,the staff were very efficient and friendly.

Great staff members very friendly and helpful 10/10 service. Lovely beer garden as well👌🏾

lovely bar and excellent service

Usual pub grub. My visit was spoilt by flies buzzing round our table... asked if lighting the candles on the table would help but didn't happen. Great service.

Mostly designed for eating area not a large area to just sit and relax to have a drink. Vintage Inns seem to have more offers on.

We had another great night on Tuesday. Service was excellent and particularly Sarah who was attentive throughout

Whilst ideally located for our family meet-up and providing good facilities in the bar, restaurant and garden, sadly the service could have been better with appropriate staff training. We were shown to a table for Sunday lunch but not advised how we should go about ordering and after 20 minutes of nothing happening had to summon a member of staff to pace an order for drinks / food. The food was distinctly average, with soggy, overdone roast potatoes which we had to request replacements for. Another delay in being able to order and receive desserts followed. All this ate into the 1.5 hours allocated for use of our table. At the end of this we wre 'reprimanded' by a member of staff who wanted our table for the next booking. However, unbeknown to her, we were still sat waiting for our bill which had been requested from another member of staff and still hadn't arrived. Management needs to step up on this. Staff need much better training and direction in regard to what is expected of them. Staff are polite and probably think they are doing their best, but they lack the direction and expectation of management.

Lovely food and a great selection joined in on the free quiz was lots of fun

I came to pick up a delivery order. If your customers will ever have the chance to see your kitchen, you'll never ever receive a food order again!

The food was really not very good. Nothing like described, tasted bad and quite expensive. I would not recommend, nor return. Having said that the staff were nice, the place was clean and the drinks were wet.

Nice beer garden. And i love a pint of Lily's mango cider. Good pub

I can today 23/6/23 for Sunday lunch with my Sister it was beautiful cooked really nice, very good size portions

Just had a lovely meal and drinks at the fox. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Served by Lucy G, lovely young lady. Friendly, smiley and checked that everything was ok Thankyou

Lovely pub friendly attentive staff.

Great place to meet, chat and eat afternoon tea. Sharon B made us feel very welcome and looked after us really well. She was friendly and made our meet up special.

First time back here for a long time. It's improved. Very pleasant welcoming staff ,good food, good choice of drinks. Average pricing.

Beautiful place to be, gorgeous food, very nice friendly staff

Great find, great staff and even won the raffle 😁 Will definitely be returning

Decent pub, nicely maintained, good beer garden and friendly staff, I've not tried any of the food so can't comment on that. But if you're in the area and want a decent place to have a drink or 2, I can recommend it.

Good pub food, a good range of beers and lovely service. Will definitely be back.

Delicious food. Sharon was so lovely and the service was excellent

Barley any people there so less crowded staff are lovely the food is outstanding (excellent sausages) this is amazing !!!

I have to say this was one of the nicest meals we have had for a long time , wonderfully presented ,piping hot and delicious , will definitely be returning soon .

Lovely dog friendly gastro pub. Attentive friendly service, would recommend!

Lucy G our server was lovely and made us feel welcome and the service throughout was amazing, and the table service from her was fantastic 😊

The big girl comes across a little harsh bit all in all a good place

Absolutely beautiful food 😍 would recommend to anyone

I came today and was served by Lucy who gave both my friend and I excellent service. I unfortunately wasn’t very happy with my steak due to asking for it well done and it coming with blood still but Lucy took care of it all and sorted the bill for me. I couldn’t have asked for any better service! Thank you Lucy!!

They always welcome us and our cockapoo x

Lovely staff and atmosphere. Good comes out quick ! Sarah was brilliant with serving us xx

Lovely pub to have lunch! Very welcoming staff, nice and clean. Food was excellent and not too expensive 😊 will deffo be back. Thank you

Nice pub with plenty of parking, food is hot & miss, the steak was ok but fried chicken very bland. Lady staff pleasant enough but the chap not.

We met as a family here during the week and had a wonderful time. Food really good, I had a lamb shank. We had excellent service with friendly staff. Kate

We were a group of 6 who met up from different areas for lunch in a central location. The Fox was chosen based on reviews. We chose well! We were warmly welcomed served well with a smile, and the food was excellent and nicely priced. Overall a really good experience and Sarah our Waitress couldn't have been more pleasant. Everyone left happy and well fed.

My Mum loved her Mothers Day celebration and felt very special. Was rather sad that the Bread and Butter Pudding has been taken off the menu though, as it's my parents favourite. First trip to a pub for our new puppy Lola and she loved all the cuddles and treats given. Even got brought her own blanket, toy and bowl of water. Big thank you to all the team at The Fox Inn

Friendly atmosphere and very welcoming. The puppy we brought along was even given a blanket to lie on, a chew toy, a bowl of water, and a few treats. Shame that the bread & butter pudding is no longer on the menu - it was amazing.

Had a fab time on Sunday. Staff were friendly and meals (there were 6 of us) were lovely. Absolutely loved the Rhubarb and Custard Sundae afterwards (complete with a piece of candy floss on the top 👍)

Humming on a Tuesday lunchtime. Good food, friendly staff. Nice setup for a cinema trip later. "Argylle" btw.

We had a great lunch here Superb food and the staff were very friendly and helpful Real Ale too I would recommend it.

Dinner was OK,bit disappointed with it though tbh,had better when we came here before. Staff were friendly and attentive and service was good but for the price food was average

Lovely Boxing Day meal and we could bring our 🐕

We visited the Fox Inn over the Christmas period and had a wonderful experience. The food was fantastic and great value - especially the steak sandwich, which was amazing and well presented. Our server, Sharon, was great too. We will be visiting again, and would recommend to all.

Nice atmosphere Busy but not noisy. Nice food with attentive but not obtrusive service.

Loverly food and warm and friendly service from Sarah

Lovely food, staff were excellent, will definitely be going back again soon

Great food always amazing Phill is a great host

Ok for an evening meal, great selection of beers food ok ,was xmas eve so staff very busy

Lovely food. Reasonably priced. Helpful, friendly staff. Good for dietary requirements e.g. vegan, veggies, gluten etc. 😁

service was great, staff were super friendly and attentive. food was poor however, £15 for boiled veg and a frozen pie? I came here before a couple months back and the food was a lot nicer, I don’t know what’s happened to this place but I’m quite disappointed. Would only come here for drinks now

Had a lovely birthday day (Boxing Day) meal. Food was great, fab starters and mains but the best was a lovely chocolate and clementine torte with a gorgeous sorbet. One of the best desserts I've ever had. Staff were friendly and very professional. Would highly recommend. Prices very fair.

Edit: So first time visiting after 4 years when someone nearly died! I must say this place has changed a lot! The food was incredible, drinks didn't have flies in it and the atmosphere was great! Sharon G was very friendly and helpful! I'll return and see if it lives up to this review but overall great experience this time! Used to love this place, I went couple days ago and basically somebody nearly died and staff didn't seem to want to help, im a first aider and was told to move and leave for the staff to deal with, then to top it off I had a fly in my drink and asked for a new one that took 10minutes to get. They also said I could have it on the house but made me pay for it?

The staff were friendly, and a group of us all enjoyed our meal in the garden at the rear of the pub. There is a large covered seating area outside at the back. There is also more seating and tables in the large pleasant garden, and more outdoor seating at the front of the pub. A lovely location for a summer lunch or drinks.

Having had an excellent meal 2 weeks ago, we decided to return for another meal. It was the same party of 5 adults and a baby. 1st time absolutely no problems however on the 2nd visit we told we could not bring the pram into the restaurant. We said we would use the car seat but again that was refused so we decided to use the pappous so that we could move the baby away from the table whilst food was being served, but again this was not acceptable so we had to leave. It was just as busy on both occasions so l fail to see the problem. Very disappointed, and will not return.

Lucy and Charlotte are absolutely wonderful at their jobs with such pleasant service. Very polite and made the experience lovely

Nice food, friendly staff, lovely decor, would visit again 😊

Food was great and service was excellent! Will definitely be back.

Had a lovely meal last night with my friends, the food was great & our waitress was lovely!

Bar staff for service not a clue and takes ages to get served

Good food and fast and friendly service

Our quiz team spent a lovely evening together enjoying great food and great service from the staff. Our thanks.

A lovely meal celebrating upcoming birthday of a friend. Service very good, friendly staff and we were not at all rushed despite sitting chattering all afternoon.

We booked for Sunday lunch recently. We received a welcome friendly service from Sharon G & the food was delicious 😋 Well definitely be visiting again. Thank you

First time eating, had a lovely lunch. Thanks.

Three of us had lunch at The Fox on Wednesday 1st November 2023 and it was excellent. The cleanliness, food and atmosphere was lovely but what really made our experience special was our server- the fantastic Margaret. Margaret assisted us with dietary requirements that were not straightforward or on the menu, and she ensured that we were accommodated with excellent food that was swiftly delivered. We cannot fault our lunchtime visit in any way especially in terms of value for money, but Margaret provided the special touches that will keep us coming back

Good service but Not much choice for food. Small portions Amd slightly pricey for what you get. NO MIXED GRILL

Staff were really accommodating as there was 7 of us & 2 dogs. They were all very friendly & the food was delicious.

Food was excellent 👌 😋 and staff helpful highly recommended

Was served by a lovely lady, had a small breakfast which was delicious

Food was amazing! The Hunter's Chicken was honestly the best one i've ever had! Compliments to the chefs. My partner had a really nice burger & even my little lad ate most of his food and dessert (main and dessert £5.50 really good kids deal) Waitress who served us 12/10/23 can't remember her name (brown hair in a bobble) was lovely! Poor woman looked like she was serving on her own but she was still so polite to everyone dining. She's a credit to the company! Never been here before & just popped in spontaniously after a day's shopping in town but we will deffinatley be coming here again! An overall wonderful meal, thank you to all!

Lovely pub that serves great food

Tried to have a nice anniversary meal with some friends on the 27 sept booked a so called time slot between 6 and 715 only to be told when arriving at 640 that as we had not arrived at 6, they had given our table away. They could have suggested we wait in the bar area until a table became vacant but curtly said they had no table for us and wouldn’t even try to solve the issue we offered to eat in the bar and yet again the very condescending restaurant manager said sorry mate can’t help you it beggars belief that the sorry state of the pub industry can turn down a £150 plus bill in these hard times especially when you have booked a table!!! We had been to this pub on many occasions previous and had no issues with the same booking system but unhelpful staff adds insult to injury which is obviously a training problem Like to finish on with a warning to future customers just because you book a table don’t bank on having one !!!!!!!!

My favourite place in Tamworth .. Always welcoming, great staff.. lovely food and lots of pooches to stroke, even a doggy menu!

Sharon G gave us great service and the food was unreal! will be back again at some point

Nice and busy on a Friday lunchtime. Staff friendly and efficient. Food excellent at sensible gastro pub prices.

Just had a particularly good lunch here. We had the chicken and chorizo. It was very good quality, extremely tasty and great value. And the staff were very friendly.

I haven't had a meal here for a few years, we had the pie, mash and vegetables, absolutely beautiful, everything cooked from fresh, staff were very polite, place was clean

Had a lovely meal once again cannot fault the food or the service. My daughter and granddaughter enjoyed theirs also.

Great pub with very good food. Had a lovely meal here with the other half. Had the lamb rump very tasty. Hubby had the chicken and bacon pie. Washed down with a magners and a coke for him. Very reasonable priced too. Will be back again. Went back with family for the excellent food.

Lovely meal today for friends birthday Katie our waitress was like a breath of fresh air she was lovely compared to some that we have had over the years

Lunchtime visit ! Good food, great prices !

We always enjoy coming to The Fox. Good food and service and well looked after by Sharon B on Saturday evening.

The barmen are really sound. Food quality is standard, room for improvement but the decor and atmosphere is great.

I've not had calamari cooked that well in a long time! The lunch menu is huge portions for the price! And the staff.... very welcoming and attentive! Loved how dog friendly the pub is!

Had a wonderful experience. Took my dog. Food was very tasty . Staff very friendly. Helpful and attentive. Even to my dog. Will definitely recommend to others. Will book again

Had lunch there today from the light menu. Lovely

We have visited several times and it never disappoints. Our food was very tasty and was temptingly presented. Katie's service was exemplary and extremely friendly. Will be back soon.

I had emailed to check on wheelchair access and the table was ready for us with a chair removed to give me room at the table. Very relaxed atmosphere. Seemed quite a lot of regulars in which gave it a friendly vibe.

Had a lovely meal as we were away for my Mum and Sons birthday. Thank you to all the staff for making it a special evening. My son had a steak and said it was one of the best steaks he had ever had! He is soon to be twelve and cleared his plate and wanted to thank the chef who was more than obliging.

Really nice food and friendly staff

Lovely meal at the Fox Inn whilst we were moored in Hopwas. Katie, our server was warm and welcoming. Attentive without being over whelming and made sure we were well fed. I particularly liked the fact that when I asked for the vegetarian option of the burgers she made sure to ask for any allergies and also checked whether I wanted vegan or standard cheese. The food was nice, as was the wine. I'd visit again.

Much much different to previous visits. Very nice meal and great service given by Charlotte. A nice place for a Sunday lunch

Really quick service, nothing too much trouble. Lovely fresh food 2

Food wasn't very good, pasta very dry, hunters chicken wasn't nice, staff was lovely.
