Hide and Fox in Shepway

I was taken here for my birthday and we had one of the best meals of our lives. We had the 8 course tasting menu with paired wines. Every course was outstanding. My particular favourites were the Morels, with confit egg yolk, pickled mushrooms and celeriac and the buttermilk mousse with blood orange, Arbequina olive oil and apple marigold. The restaurant is fairly small and cosy, all the waitresses were lovely and helpful. They explained the meals well and the sommelier's description of the wines was very clear and helpful. The wines tended to be from small estates all over the world and were excellent without exception. The meal was expensive, but compared to other Michelin starred restaurants we have been to, it was very good value for money. The restaurant is in Saltwood on the edge of Hythe and it is a good idea to book a taxi back to where you are staying in good time as there are no local taxi services. I have been to a good number of one Michelin star restaurants and this one is well worth the second start it gained recently.

Breathtakingly good Recently heard about this newly recognised venue so just had to go. It’s hidden away in a village just outside Hythe. Reached up some spectacular hills. You enter into a fascinatingly and tasteful decorated venue. Staff are exceptionally polite and attentive. Very enthused to show us the menu, but we had done our research and wanted the 8 course taster. Every dish is exquisite, presentation is clearly very important to chef, and he does it magnificently. The flavours are equally superb. As menus change, decided not to analyse each dish, suffice to say that my favourite (just) was the liver parfait, all were wonderful, one that equalled Heston’s one, a situation I never thought I would experience. The mocktail was delicious. Service is very friendly, describing each course in just enough detail. Had a chat with chef near the end of the meal and instantly recognised his love for food. Toilets are shared but immaculate. Was it worth the 2 hour round trip? Unquestionably! Return trip Return visit with my sister. 16/06/22 Wonderfully warm welcome, as before. Front of house are both very well trained delightful and superb at their jobs Not going to repeat the menu, as it’s ever changing so it’s a new experience every time. The amuse bouche were two different ones perfectly presented and superb. Each of our 8 courses of the taster menu were very individual and brilliantly flavoured and presented. As with my last visit (very rare return as I generally don’t as I want new experiences) the balance of the menu is perfect and the dishes don’t fight eachother. Each a taste experience that is unceasingly great. Ps had a superb mocktail to compliment the food. The venue is well appointed and toilet really nice and clever toilet rolls. Was it worth my long drive to introduce my sister to this gastronomy Oh YES! Thrilled that Michelin have recognised the quality of this venue by giving it a second star! Third visit 26.03.25 Third experience of perfection Third visit! First when quite new venue then when they got their first star then today with their recently deserved second star!. All courses of the 8 were superb. Special mention to the mushroom course and the palate cleanser. I can't laudable them enough, but frankly every course was exceptional. The presentation and flavours were wonderful too! Cannot criticise any part of this experience. Was it worth 90 minutes of driving. YES YES YES! Does he deserve his second star oh yes

Went with my family for the 5 course dinner and I’ve been to a few mitchlin starred places but never have I experienced such a great all round restaurant. From the scintillating food to the small but not overcrowded space the whole place made the night really special and as a 13 year old who is mildly impatient 😂 service needed to be and was on point.

Amazing food, very attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere. Delighted to have such a special restaurant in the area. Food has such flavour and depth and the wine pairing adds an extra dimension. Staff are lovely and help to make every visit such a memorable experience.

We think this was our 5th visit to Hide and Fox at Saltwood near Hythe, Kent. Alistair Barsby continues to produce superb food. Now with a second Michelin star! Alice and her charming staff front of house are a joy. The 5 course menu was terrific, I'm sure the 8 course was equally scrumptious. Fabulous! Rob and Trudy Smethurst

Stopped by on a Thursday for lunch. So impressed by everything about this little tiny restaurant, that somehow never felt crowded, despite each table being full. The 5-course lunch (seafood free) was exceptional on all levels, beautifully presented, well delivered and explained, but most of all, DELICIOUS. Highly recommended and worth the money (and the accolades).

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere from the only 2 Michelin Star restaurant south of London.

Think twice before booking. My partner booked a meal as present, however both myself and our daughter got ill with fever and could not attend as a result. Zero compassion was given by staff offering to refund or reschedule and charged us £150 cancellation fee. No meal is worth this appalling experience.

To start, a warm welcome, friendly, efficient and unfussy service, three lovely cocktails including an outstanding mocktail, and a very nice, reasonably priced, bottle of wine (a great allrounder for £30). The highlights - Excellent, flavour-packed fresh broths and sauces, the mackerel/grapefruit in a zingy fresh sauce was outstanding, as was the veal sweetbread in a bean broth. The salt cod in another amazing sauce with cockles and mussels was superb, but then, simply the best venison I've ever had. We gave them a few days notice about an allergy, the dish was skilfully adapted and very tasty. The Baron Bigod on Jamaica cake really worked for me, idea stolen! The lowlight - Just the one, didn't get a lot from the small custard tart and rhubarb ice cream. Enjoyed the lemongrass aspect, but not a lot of taste elsewhere for me, probably a personal thing. Didn't distract from the rest of the food, an excellent evening, and congratulations on getting your second star, richly deserved. See you soon, if we can get in! :)

A truly extraordinary meal. We went for all eight courses of the tasting menu starting with a fabulous cauliflower mousse that was light and rich. If you'd told me at this point that the dishes would only get better, I would have been stunned! Our particular favourite was the monkfish served in a leek and potato jus. It was truly sumptuous, perfectly cooked, with a delicate symphony of flavours. Equally impressive was the pigeon pithivier which was again perfectly executed in an dark, rich gravy with sharp notes of garlic and utterly delicious. The service was a good as the food. Alice, Francesca and Bianca were a joy to talk to and have developed an excellent wine pairing. It was lovely to chat about the thrill of receiving a (very well deserved) second Michelin Star; the passion and care they put into this restaurant is there for all to see. This was a wonderful meal. There must be only a handful of other restaurants in the UK where you could get this service and this quality of food. We will undoubtedly travel back with as many friends as we can drag with us. You cannot, cannot, do better than this.

Absolutely exquisite food and dining experience from Allister, Alice and the team! An absolutely brilliant experience of taste that was absolutely worthy of 2 Michelin stars! Our faves were the white chocolate desert and the liver parfait - DELICIOUS! The restaurant boasts a small cozy atmosphere with exceptional service. I highly recommend the wine pairing with your meal! 5 STARS - OUTSTANDING - See you in April

Disappointing valentines menu. Just ordinary and lacked the sharpness. Food standards have slipped since our previous visits. Surprising for Michelin to accord a second star. Found the dishes just acceptable but not great or exceptional. Menu itself was uninspiring. Should have kept their usual tasting menus instead of the valentines menu. Not good value as expensive for what it was . No petit fours even when you order tea? Amouse bouche to start was a miserable two items. When I asked the waitress at the end for some petit fours her strange response was, she could, for a charge? Overall it was underwhelming. They will struggle to live up to the 2 star expectations especially when I found this time the one star wanting. The restaurant itself is very basic and in need of an upgrade. Nothing spent over the years.

Wow. some of best food and flavours i have ever experienced. Would totally recommend. The waiting staff were warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about the food they are serving. We had the five courses which was ample and were pleasantly surprised with the complimentary tasting course which came out before the main event. We were wowed with every plate. You just gotta go and experience it for yourself.

Absolutely excellent, impeccable service and good!

I have been thinking about where to even start with this one. The first thing above all is this place is perfection, snuggled away in a beautiful setting it doesn't get much better than this. There were 6 of us and we went to dinner to celebrate mine and my friends birthday. We all opted for the 8 course menu. Brixham Crab, grapefruit, avocado, verjus, basil. Soft baked beetroot, smoked eel, duck liver, sorrels. New season girolles, white asparagus, egg yolk, yeast. Salt cod, chorizo, lemon, mussels, samphire. Lamb, courgette, confirm garlic, smoked anchovy. Blue Monday, caramelized, apple, puff pastry, cider vinegar. Kentish Strawberry, tofu, Szechuan pepper, lime. Caramelia Cremeux, malted barley, Guinness, 80% chocolate, honeycomb. There were also 3 dishes before the main event which were breath taking and I can't remember the names but trust me words can't describe. The staff were at the top of their game, attentive and so knowledgeable about the food and wine they were serving. The timings of each dish were perfectly placed and they were always topping your water and wine up. To try and describe each dish would be impossible. Every dish was beyond words and compliments to the chef and his team. We tried on our way home to pick our favourite dish and we all changed our list so many times which indicates how incredible this food experience was. This is an experience you have to do and you will never forget. This is Kent in a nutshell bringing the finest produce around and given to masters of their craft to produce this mind-blowing menu. Will we do it again, absolutely, value for money, absolutely. I love food and this was perfection, the whole experience brought together by pure excellence. I would like to thank the chef for sharing his craft and the team for delivering it.

We have been wanting to visit this restaurant for some time, but I was annoyed at their £75 pp charge if you did not cancel 48 hours prior to arrival, a gross over-charge. Anything could happen in that time and so we eventually just booked the day before. Enjoyable food and worth the Michelin star. We had the 5 course menu. The amuse bouche x 3 was superb, so delicate. The only dish I wasn't keen on was the Scallop and tuna tartare. I couldn't taste or see the scallop or tuna and the cucumber dominated. The raviolo, sea bass, and pheasant were excellent and the dessert with Nashi pear sublime. Service was incredibly good. Parking was good (if crowded) as the surrounding streets had no parking restrictions. Disabled access fine. Neither I nor my husband are keen on tasting menus and the 3 course lunch didn't attract. I doubt we would return as it isn't the kind of place (or the price - £227.25 inc a small carafe + one glass of wine + 12.5% service. ) to become a loved destination. But we liked it, tried it and pleased we did so.

A memorable 8 course tasting menu where every course was well thought out with excellent service. Delicious,

Been waiting a while to try this restaurant & wasn’t disappointed. Everything from the time we arrived was perfect. Food was sublime & service exceptional. Not cheap but definitely worth the experience

In my opinion, one of my best fine dining experiences ! Out of all these 1-2-3 star Michelin star restaurants that I have tried so far, this was definitely the best value for money. Can’t fault the service, enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, nice chats with the front of house lady and the chef. Food wise, they well accommodated my sister’s requirements. I can taste the hearts going into it! Every dish tasted nice and had creativity. Even the sidekick- home made bread was very impressive! And also the flow of the whole menu was nice, I mean it’s a common fault I find a lot of fine dining places make: each dish had its own character but they don’t go together. I certainly felt this menu was working really well together. Oh forgot to mention, the wine collection was also splendid! Will definitely be back!

Had a beautiful dining experience with wine pairing. Tasted wonderful combinations of food Iwould not of tried before.

A lovely midweek meal. Food was delicious and wine and drinks reasonably priced for a restaurant of this quality. Staff attentive and friendly and a really nice relaxed atmosphere. Mushroom dish on the 5 course menu was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Treat yourself and go here for a lovely experience.

What a great restaurant , i don't expect surprises in my 60's but the food & the way that the wait staff were so good at their job, they were onto everything . We spent 3 hours there & it seemed like an hour, like all good things time went so fast. The food was out of this world the taster menu was not like any i have had before there was not one dish that was not exceptional. The decor and atmosphere was perfect Thank you for a great treasured memory

Great experience from the very start. Expert service, fabulous food and a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you, Hide and Fox.

I have commented very favourably on Hide and Fox previously, but dinner last Saturday night surpassed even their previous superlative standards. I’m not sure how Alistair. Alice and their staff manage to keep upping their standard - but they do!

Nothing about this charming little restaurant disappoints. The team are friendly and welcoming. The decor is imaginative - it thoughtfully retains some of the original features from when the building was a village shop but adds a lot of style and sophistication. Every one of the eight courses on the tasting menu was delicious and beautifully presented and explained. The care in the sourcing and preparation is clear. The wine selection offers the best of English and world wines. We had a fabulous evening, I would recommend the Fox and Hide unreservedly and wish them continued success and acclaim.

We should celebrate restaurants like this because they are now a rarity. Very intimate setting coupled with very attentive and good service. The food in the kitchen is definitely worthy of a Michelin star, with several standout dishes such as the monkfish with bouillabaisse. If there was one thing to improve- the red wine is served at room temperature rather than 18 degrees. I hope they keep going, there is a lot of talent from this team!

Had the most amazing 5 course menu with wine paring. Just so perfect and delicious and yet not overly full. A real treat would highly recommend if you want be spoilt rotten! Lighting could be improved though to reflect the quality of the food and the service !

A sensational tasting menu. Excellent from start to finish. I especially like how the canapes and bread courses were not one of the 8 listed courses on the menu, most places list these as one of the courses, it really felt like a bonus and nice surprise, rather than, oh thats a course...

*Discretionary This event took place in Autunm 2022 so I don’t know the situation now - as none of us has gone back to dine there since. I had booked a table for 4 around 3/4 weeks prior to the dinner. This was a thank you dinner to our kind foodie friends and they chose this place. Upon arrival, we noticed that our table was placed where we had to stare at the bright lights from the kitchen and some untidiness by the kitchen. (Please see the attached photo.) The kitchen door was left open. We thought this would spoil our evening at this Michelin star restaurant so we asked politely if there was anything they could do, to which they simply replied no. As far as I am concerned, the view, environment and atmosphere are as important as the food itself in a restaurant. Especially if they claim to offer fine dining. We were very surprised that they had no hesitation in making customers sit with that view in sight. I paid around £500 for our dinner and drinks for 4 of us. There was no compensation offered in response to our complaint, no discount, no complimentary drinks, which again showed that they thought there was nothing wrong in making customers sit where we sat. Was their food so memorable and excellent for us to risk to sit in that terrible seating area again? I’m afraid not. In fact, I cannot remember what we ate that night. I can explain why. It’s because I have eaten so many excellent meals elsewhere since. To be fair, even by the end of that night, I hardly remembered what was served - simply because it was not that memorable. All we now remember is the bright lights and untidiness which spoilt a fine dining atmosphere.

We visited for my mum's 80th birthday. Polite, courteous, attentive and professional service. Each course of the tasting menu was exciting, delicious and wanting us more. Great wine pairings, and comfortable atmosphere made for a most wonderful evening. Thankyou Hide & Fox. :)

I had a wonderful time with my partner in East Sussex, we so enjoyed the whole area and the restaurants throughout. However, Hythe is a real classy discovery for us, and Saltwood, up the road, is a lovely little village! We had G&T in the Castle Hotel pub bar opposite before our set menu lunch in Hide and Fox. The restaurant is a delight, it was quiet on the day but really enjoyable. Georgia really looked after us, she really represents the restaurant and the food so well, she sets such a high standard of service, its so nice to experience that. The food was amazing and the wine recommendations were perfect. This is a lovely little place in a beautiful area and I cant recommend it enough!!

wonderful place. very friendly, warm staff, very pleasant little nice room to eat. the food is exceptionally good. fine, special, interesting, wonderfully prepared, a dream. I had the three-course lunch menu with two greetings from the kitchen, everything was really perfect! every course is a real pleasure. Wine prices may be a bit too high, but beer prices are very fair. definitely worth a visit. Also easily accessible by train or bus from Dover, the bus stop is right outside the door. I'll definitely be back!

The food is terrific and the staff freindly and welcoming. We had the eight course meal with wine pairing. All lovely. Highly recommend.

The 5 course tasting menu was superb, and paired with the wine flight, sublime. Every course was a delight, and well introduced by the team. A brilliant experience.

Absolutely unique, exceptional menu, a destination not to be missed! Service is first class. Each course was an explosion of flavours to excite and stimulate your tastebuds.

I've been twice (once for lunch and once for dinner) and it's been worth the drive from London! Amazing food, great atmosphere and impeccable, friendly and personal service. Cannot wait to go back. I absolutely adore the logo!

My husband and I visit this restaurant as often as we can. Last night we were there to celebrate a belated birthday and were greeted with birthday cards and a lovely bottle of wine. The food as always was amazing - thank you Alistair and team. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable about the food and wine. Such a wonderful evening. Missed Alice, but see you next time. Thanks again. Carole and Stewart

Fantastic meal and well worth a journey - delicious combinations, impeccable service and lovely atmosphere

It was our first visit to Hide and Fox and I am sure it is nor going to be the last. My birthday card was waiting for me in our arrival. We both had the 5 course tasting menu. I also had the matching wines. Food was very tasty but Alice’s knowledge of wine and her manners made the difference. We enjoyed ourselves and definitely recommend anyone enjoy good food and wine in nice friendly atmosphere.

We went for the 5 course tasting menu which was fantastic. Flavours, textures all beautifully en pointe and cooked to perfection. One of the best meals I’ve eaten this year (and there’s been a few!) Excellent wine list and the service was perfect too. Despite the distance from London we will absolutely return in the New Year.

Visited a few weeks back, excellent food. Bit quiet on a lunch service but wonderful knowledge of menu and great taste.

Excellent food and wine. We had an 8 course tasting menu and wine pairing. Very enjoyable.

Wow everything about this place is fabulous, the food was delicious and staff knowledgeable and attentive . Well worth a visit for a special occasion

We had the 8 course tasting menu and I can honestly say it was all delicious. The tomato consume was a stand out and the pretzel ice cream was the best ice cream I’ve ever had. There was quite simply nothing we didn’t like. The service was excellent and we would definitely return.

As always, a beautiful evening with amazing food and first-class service. Every course was carefully constructed and tasted superb. We love the Hide and Fox ♥️

Top tier meal and Georgia was extremely patient whilst I asked lots of questions about wine 😂 Thanks so much!

Not their fault, had booked a 18.30 to celebrate my wife's birthday with her . At 17.50 my wife was asked to work late. I rang to cancel as was told it was to late and there was a cancellation policy and my card was charged £150.00 ,

Absolutely brilliant experience at Hide and Fox. The atmosphere is nice and cozy and the waitresses were superb. We went for the 8 course taster and there wasn't a single thing on there we didn't like. 100% will be coming back again soon!

We've dined here four times now and the food has been sublime every time. The ambience is just right, the front of house people are lovely and attentive without being over intrusive. By far our favourite place for a special occasion. Not cheap but worth every penny.

The most delicious food, beautifully presented, wonderfully knowledgeable staff! Thank you! Look forward to the next menu!

Amazing food and service, couldn't have asked for more. 5 course tasting menu was perfect both for me and my partner who had no seafood.

Went for the 3 course lunch special. Couldn’t fault the food, the smoked cod roe cigar amuse Bouche was particularly delightful, but it was all excellent. The lunch special also makes it more affordable and it was sufficient quantity wise for us both. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. We will be back.

What a meal! A fabulous 8 course tasking menu that left us happy, full and wanting to come back. We went for the vegetarian tasting menu and were not disappointed. A beautiful selection of dishes and service that was some of the best we have ever experience. The team were fantastic from start to finsh.

Food and service were great. We loved it. We will be back!!

Wow! We had a wonderful evening at Hide & Fox, the food was delicious (both meat and vegetarian menus!), the service was amazing and the atmosphere was so welcoming and friendly. Would absolutely recommend and we hope to come back. Thank you to the whole team for giving us a special evening

Exceptional food with great service! I opted in for tasting menu which was outstanding. The whole experience lasted for 4 hours and every minute was worth it! Would definitely recommend!

Hands down one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. We tried the 8 courses with wine and every bite was amazing and packed with flavor. There were two members of staff serving and I think they deserve special mention as both of them were perfect. Polite, friendly and engaging but not so much that it felt forced or intrusive and they were more than happy to answer questions and talk about the food and wine being served. Impeccable food and flawless service so would highly recommend

Just great, staff lovely ,food worth every penny, already booked to go back, thank you team at the hide and fox

they are really worth their Michelin star. Nice menu, tasty food, good wines. friendly staff. I can't give a Michelin star, but I can give Google stars and they get five from me

Amazing! . From the minute you walk through the door to when you leave the service, the atmosphere and food are amazing. Excellent service, extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. Every last detail has been well thought through and beautifully presented. Thank you for a wonderful experience. 2nd time tonight, just as wonderful as before, amazing colours, tastes and experiences

Having received a recommendation to go to The Hide and Fox from someone who knows the food industry inside out, my wife and I asked two friends to join us on our first visit there. All four of us know what good food is, and all four of us have had disappointing food and service at Michelin Starred restaurants. Each of us was excited about going to the Hide and Fox, and each of us loved and enjoyed every minute that we were there. The second that we walked in we knew that we were going to have a great time. The staff were wonderful and provided impeccable service that was coupled with great senses of humour. We had the five course tasting menu but added a couple of extras. The food was sublime, and our choice of cocktails, and English, Greek and Lebanese wines added to the wonderful explosions of different flavours which were already challenging our senses. At the end of the meal the owner/master chef Allister came out to speak to us, which is always a nice touch, and was greatly appreciated. This place is special and unlike many of the 'top' restaurants, it doesn't disappoint!!

Had another lovely evening at Hide and Fox, every course was well presented and tasted incredible. Lovely staff who introduced each course and were happy to make alterations to the courses for my wife.

Food is just delicious, next level of cuisine. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Would like to go back again soon

Not our first Michelin star restaurant but so far without doubt the best. Genuinely nothing whatsoever to criticise. I couldn’t say about the others.

We chose the 8 course dinner with paired wine & every mouthful was truly outstanding. The food combinations were stunning. The service was subtle. Thank you everyone for a marvellous evening.

A low key looking spot set in (I think) an old shop. Small (26? Covers). The piped music appropriate as it could be a bit formally quiet without. Faultless service - friendly but knowledgeable. Don't be put off by 8 courses - they are manageable through perfect sizing and pace. Every one was fabulous. Standouts the pasta with pecorino and spinach and the Romney Lamb with smoked anchovy but that seems unfair to the others. Perfect flavour combos in each. Excellent white and red from Italy and a cheeky Gewurtz with Eton Mess. A one Star doesn't really do justice (having eaten in quite a few) but it may not be thought to be a two Star space. I hope not.

The restaurant is small but in no way feels like you are sitting on top of each other. Even in a full restaurant it feels like a private dining experience. The decore is simple but elegant. From start to finish it feels like you are experiencing a high level of knowledge and experience. And it is DELICIOUS! Alice and Allisters passion and care is obvious. When Alice talks to you about wine it makes you want to know everything there is. Very special place. Thank you.

We have just returned from a fabulous lunch at Hide & Fox. We had the five course tasting menu and every plate looked and tasted amazing. One of our friends is vegetarian and it was so lovely that every plate of hers looked and she said tasted as amazing as ours, which is rare. She usually has one choice on the menu. This cute little restaurant has been added to our short list and we are already looking forward to our return visit. You must try it !

Wow! Don't hesitate, book your table now, you will not be disappointed. Michelin star well deserved. Well done to the Chef - stunning!

We visited the Hide and Fox to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary. We went for the 8 course tasting and wine pairings menu. Food and wine selections were exceptional. Every morsel was a burst of flavour. Staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Definitely worth a visit for a special occasion. Enjoy the moment.

We’ve been to the Hide and Fox three times over the last few years and it has never failed impress. The food is outstanding and the service and front of house exceptional. We enjoyed the 5 course tasting menu with friends on a Saturday evening. This was accompanied with an amuse bouche and the amazing home made freshly baked bread. We had a bottle of Simpsons rose followed by a couple of bottles of the pinot meunier Simpson Wine Estate and a selection of dessert wines. The food, wine and service was exceptional - 11/10. Allister is an incredibly talented chef. This is our favourite restaurant in Kent and probably the best Michelin star restaurant in the county.

Excellent for a special occasion. Perfect service. Beautiful food and preparation on the 8 course experience. Full vegetarian option. Best fine dining restaurant I've ever been to (I've been to the usual). It's situated in a suburban road with crowded on street parking. From the outside, you wouldn't know what a gem it is inside. Picture is the menu I chose.

A beautiful and very personal restaurant. We was welcomed to our table by the very friendly and polite staff. The restaurant is very small, lined with wooden wine racks but this creates a calm and classy atmosphere. The tables are separated perfectly so you are not on top of each other. The food is fabulous and worthy of the Micheline star it possesses. Each dish is professionally explained and delivered to perfection. My partner and I had the 8 course tasting menu which was beautifully sequenced. The mackerel and cod plates were two that really stood out to me, we opted for the additional caviar which was very reasonably priced. The Hide and Fox is exactly what it says on the tin, a characterful dining space with a commitment to quality. I would highly recommend.

Just wow!! Best restaurant in Kent 🙌 and better than most in London. Went for a meal last night for a birthday and the 8 course menu was incredible start to finish every course especially the venison, cod and mushrooms. Not only that but they bake multiple breads in house all phenomenal with different courses and the best dessert praline choux bun I've had in ages. Moreover, the service is so welcoming and knowledgeable and the little things like a birthday card and small menu to take home make all the difference! Best food, drinks and service we've had in a long time and worth visiting from afar we will be back ALOT!

Had very high hopes for our visit to Hide and Fox given the high plaudits received from Michelin and the 3 rosettes ratings Upon arrival it was obvious that a lot of effort was put into the decor and ambience and we were seated and asked for our drinks choices - after approx 30 minutes we had not received any food (snacks as detailed on the menu) and then shortly after a couple who arrived 10 mins after us were then served their ‘snacks’ so without kicking up a fuss we did throw a look to the waitress who I think realised we had not yet received anything. Around 45 minutes after arrival we received our snacks and then shortly after our first official course Service during the meal was very good and we were pleasantly surprised with each of the set menu courses, some better than others as you would expect and from personal choice/preference but none of the courses were in any way bad but perhaps equally some more underwhelming than excellent I do feel however that the offer of petit fours with our coffee to then be charged for them plus the fact that when ordering a double espresso and being told that would be two pods we perhaps were somewhat surprised to receive an £8 cost for this, given the acknowledgment this was solely pod coffee, was a tad over the top pricing - noting our meal for two was slightly under £400 including service charge Overall as per my title I would describe our evening as good but not great and when comparing to other Michelin restaurants we have visited it doesn’t stand out in any real way

Michelin * well deserved, the complete experience - curated wines, delightfully good but discreet service, and amazing food. A lovely evening.

Really great dinner experience. The food was incredible. 10/10. We had the 8 course menu and every dish was a 10/10. With 8 courses thats 80/80 :) the staff were incredibly friendly and the cocktails equally incredible to add to the overall incredibleness

We had the 8 course taster menu and I have to say, the food was up there with some of the best fine dining restaurants that I have eaten in from all over the world. There wasnt one dish that was poorly judged. We also had the wine pairing, and once again they were extremely well chosen and there were a few from different countries and regions that were not obvious and that was great. Overall, a superb meal and experience.

Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. We had a lovely 8 course tasting menu for lunch. Every course was a delight. The service was amazing. Thank you 😊

Quite simply, hands down, exceptional in every way. Astonishing food, incredible service. Could not be happier.

On point service, a knowledgeable sommelier with great wines, amazing food, a relaxed enjoyable atmosphere, what more could you want.

Absolutely incredible. Incredible service and brilliantly clever, delicious food. Relaxed atmosphere, perfect all round. We had the 8 dish taster menu paired with wine and every single dish was amazing. Highly recommend,Thank - you for creating such a wonderful restaurant.

What can I say?! The food was exceptional, truly. Every course was packed full of flavour, the staff were really polite and friendly. It was expensive, my partner and I saved up for Christmas, but it was an experience we'll never forget. We went for the 8 course tasting menu, but we also got snacks and bread too, so it was more like 10 courses. We had cocktails/mocktails to accompany and they didn't disappoint either. I really would recommend going. The food for us was 10/10 and well worth the price.

Overall an amazing experience, delicious food with interesting ingredients and ideas. Wine selection is excellent and the staff is so friendly and attentive! You can do the “scarpetta” even if you are in a Michelin star restaurant and you won’t be judged ;)

The most flawlessly sublime food/meal we've experienced. Faultless.

I wish I could give 6 stars to the Hide & Fox team, 5 stars is not enough! We had the 8-course menu and enjoyed every single course. The service was attentive and genuine. Thank you Chef & the lovely ladies @ Hide & Fox tonight.

Absaloutly superb food and even better wines had 8course tasting menus each corse was terrific particularly the venison and the ham hock ravioli prices are high for kent but at least you get top notch food amazing deserts a sommelier who really knows her wines really friendly service full on a Saturday lunch says it it all keep up the good work

The best meal I have ever eaten. Still thinking about it months later.

Excellent food, interesting flavour combinations. Friendly and attentive service.

We had the weekly 3 course set menu and it was an absolutely mind blowing dining experience. I have been telling all my foodie friends and then some. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is impeccable. What a treat! Thank you Hide & Fox, we will defo be visiting again xx

We celebrated our Anniversary here today and I must say the whole experience was truly amazing from the most delicious food through to the impeccable service. We chose the taster menu of 5 and was not disappointed as each dish surprised our taste buds, accompanied by the perfect wine pairing. The little card on our table congratulating us on our Anniversary was a nice touch too!❤ Highly recommend 👌

Marvellous small serves each a unique experience. Most enjoyable meal and charming service from waitstaff and chef. Our only reservation was the noise level from other diners.

Our 1st visit to the Hyde and Fox. Food was excellent, extremely tasty and different to lots of places weve been to before. Excellent quality wines available along with cocktails and speciality coffees. has about 8 tables so this means you were looked after very well. Staff were very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. An Excellent overall experience. Will go back.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Food was superb as was the impeccable service. Thank you.
