Silver Fox Pub in East Hertfordshire

My sister and I organised our dad's wake at the Silver Fox. Never an easy process but Amber and Jason made it really easy for us. A nice spread and a welcoming atmosphere, they let us use the whole pub and not just the function room at the back. Thanks again and we'll be dropping in for Sunday lunch in the not too distant future.

Held our dad's wake at the Silver Fox. Food was lovely and they could not have been more accommodating. Would highly recommend.

Favourite local pub. Very nice crowd. I highly recommend the chicken burger. Nice music and cool pool table :)

Lovely midweek £10 smash burger, a great deal!

Amazing place. The new management are excellent

Would highly recommend the Silver Fox to anyone. The owners and staff are all lovely, and the food is amazing. The Sunday roast is a definite must try 👌

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. An all round nice pub to visit. I bought my kids there are they were very welcoming

Great night at the Silverfox. Band played all the favourites, the beer flowed, a really nice atmosphere. Well done!

Amazing food and great service whilst watching sport! Ordered the fish ciabatta that came with fries and coleslaw! Tasted great. Would highly recommend. X

Just had the most wonderful Fish finger ciabatta sandwich whilst watching the football! Perfect.

A random stop on our journey found the Silver Fox public house. On arrival we thought it was rather quiet, which can sometimes be a little worrying, but I can't remember the last time we received such an incredibly warm welcome. As we were driving we didn't have alcoholic drinks, but the non-alcoholic choice was more than adequate. Lunchtime meal choices were limited, but the old English dish of fish and chips was there and it was perfect. Freshly cooked, nicely presented and more than adequate for greedy me! Fantastic staff, great food and that warm welcome...what more could you want.

I recently had the profound experience of hosting my father's wake at The Silver Fox, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional service provided by Amber and her dedicated team. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately put our minds at ease during such a difficult time. Amber, in particular, was a beacon of compassion and professionalism. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, ensuring that every detail was handled with the utmost care. Her attentiveness and genuine kindness made a world of difference to us, as we navigated the emotions of saying goodbye to a beloved father. Amber treated us like family, providing not just logistical support but also heartfelt understanding. The staff at The Silver Fox mirrored Amber's high standards. Each team member was courteous, respectful, and incredibly efficient, making sure that everything ran smoothly. They went above and beyond in fulfilling our requests, whether it was setting up the space with beautiful floral arrangements or ensuring that our guests felt comfortable and cared for throughout the wake. Their patience and willingness to adapt to our needs was truly remarkable, allowing us to focus on honoring my father's memory rather than worrying about the details. The food served was simply fantastic—both delicious and thoughtfully presented. Amber ensured we had plenty of options, accommodating dietary restrictions and preferences with grace. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the quality of the meal, which added to the warmth and comfort of the gathering. In a time filled with grief and reflection, Amber and the staff at The Silver Fox created an environment that felt safe and loving. They expertly balanced providing us the space we needed to grieve while also being present to assist wherever necessary. With their exceptional service, they transformed a difficult day into a beautiful celebration of a life well-lived. I wholeheartedly recommend The Silver Fox to anyone looking for a venue, especially for such significant moments. Thank you, Amber and your wonderful team, for your unwavering support and for making a challenging time just a little bit easier. You truly have a gift for helping others, and I will always be grateful for the compassionate service we received.

The pub has been given a new lease of life! It has truly lit up the village!

Excellent Nice and cosy pub Had Sunday lunch. Highly recommended

New owners so please ignore any earlier reviews. This is now a fantastic pub. Great food and drink at reasonable prices. Brilliant staff and chef. Thoroughly recommend.

Great atmosphere and food! The staff couldn’t have been friendlier!

Great place for lunch and drinks. The owner Jason and Staff member Amber could not be more accommodating!

The new team are absolutely smashing it!!! Great food, we'll priced and a decent selection of drinks. Family run, friendly and an asset to the village. Ps. The smash burgers are an absolute must try❤️

We visited on Sunday planning to try their very reasonably priced Ciabatta options. Although they are not available on Sunday the young lady taking our order spoke to the Chef and he kindly agreed that we could order them. We had Caprese and a Steak Ciabatta with delicious good sized helping of skinny fries on a side a small slaw. Everything was delicious. They were cut in half so easy to eat and we each ate half of one another's order. The staff were excellent as was the food. I had a tasty Oakham Citra beer and my partner a medium diet coke. Our visit cost just £24 - incredibly good value. We were not there to watch the sport but several different sports were being broadcast. We could see The F1 and Olympics and It was great that the volume was not loud. There is a garden and the pub is dog friendly and walks nearby in the Hertford Heath Nature Reserve. Highly recommended the Silver Fox under the new management. We will be back.

Popped in for a spot of lunch today. Sausage ciabatta with caramelised onion and added melted cheese. Ciabatta was crispy, chutney was sweet, good quality sausages, decent skin on fries. washed down with a pint of IPA. Lunch was a reasonable £8, friendly new owners too. Give it a go 💯

Nice pub, used for a wake 🪦⚰️ Would use again and recommend.

Excellent hospitality for my brother's wake. Very nice buffet.

Nice to see plenty of vegan choices. Staff were super friendly and attentive. Perhaps building needs a bit of love.

Reasonable car park. Narrow door entrance but welcoming staff. Good sized rear room. Fish was poor, tasteless, soft, watery, maybe frozen. Chips average. Chicken seemed well received. Not expensive though. Made our own atmosphere.

Only been here to play in some darts tournaments and found it to be a very friendly plave

We held my fathers wake here very recently. From the moment I contacted Gill, she was so very helpful and had everything arranged and ready for when we arrived. The buffet was wonderful, especially the homemade cakes and brownies. Nothing was too much trouble at all. Thank you Gill, it was a really lovely ending to a sad and difficult day.

A quaint (but lovely), family run local pub that specialises in home made pies & puds. We ordered (& greatly enjoyed) a Steak, Marmite & Mushroom pie as well as a Chicken & Mushroom Pie that came with a selection of options & lashings of gravy - both were delicious & generous in size. For dessert I ordered a Rhubarb Crumble with custard (to take away), which they were pleased to arrange without query. A very cosy pub with a beer garden out back & a very impressive, dedicated competitive darts area (with 5 illuminated boards) - there was a National competition taking place while we were there!

Lovely country style pub food garden sports room and a nice pint thoroughly recommend

It's a pub with a dartboard annex. Food basic but "home cooked"

We recently held my father's Wake here. An incredibly hard time, so when I contacted the Silver Fox they was helpful from the get go! The ladies genuinely care and was happy to accommodate some personal touches we wanted to make, and allowed me to visit the day before to drop off some bits and pieces we wanted laid out. The food everyone complimented, and their hospitality was faultless. Can't thank them enough for being so kind. Traditional family pub, run by a lovely family. Plenty parking, lovely clean garden space and spacious inside seating area.

Held my Dad's Wake / Celebration of life here recently. They were compassionate to the situation, catered well for allergens. I would recommend The Silver Fox for all occasions or even just a pint and a light bite. Thank you for all your hard work on Friday 26.5.23

My parter and i had roast beef , decent size meal ,very good price...good old style pub atmosphere , friendly helpfull staff..will return again to try the pies

We used the Silver Fox for my father-in-laws wake yesterday. It was a good size for around 50 people (but could have taken more) with ample car parking for our needs. The publican and her family were very helpful, even opening up on an afternoon when they would normally be closed. There was a good mix of open space and seats and tables for people to mix and talk. They provided an ample buffet including homemade cakes (my favorite was the the coffee cake!) and helped make a difficult day that much easier. From start to finish we felt comfortable booking and using the venue.

Amazing food, amazing people. I would highly recommend their home made pies and desserts. Real pub food! Pub owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming 🙏

Great place and surroundings,good carpark area,drinks well priced,will call again.

A lovely friendly pub and the pies are to die for! I had the chicken leek and lemon with mash and it was absolute delicious and HUGE! I could only manage just over half and I have a big appetite. Will definitely be back to try the beef, marmite and mustard pie.

Recently had a wake at this pub. The staff were really good - friendly and accommodating. The food was beautifully presented - with lovely homemade cakes and scones as part of the buffet. Tea and coffee were on flow. The owner even opened the pub especially for the wake. Can't thank them enough for their kindness and for making us all feel so welcome on such a sad and difficult day.

Went for a wake was ideal food and service okay

Attended a wake with 30 people after a funeral at Woolenbrook. Buffet was really nice. Sandwiches, quiche, sausage rolls, jam and cream scones and Victoria sponge. Tea and coffee was plentiful and the bar had plenty of choice. Staff were friendly and helpful

We’ve recently moved to the village and decided to pop by on a Sunday lunch to try the pies as our friends had recommended them to us. We were certainly not disappointed! I had the chicken leek and lemon and my wife had the marmite and mustard. We ended up trying each others and have vowed to come back and try the rest of the list.

Went to play Darts here found it to be a very nice pub friendly staff good beer and a great bunch of dart players thoroughly enjoyed the night.

Called the pub to ask if they're open, she told me she will open the door, we walked in and were told we couldn't have a drink as both staff are leaving in 10 mins at 12noon. Lol no wonder pubs are closing. Thanks for wasting my time.

Had a lovely 50th birthday party here Good place for party's Highly recommend for a place to eat, Great and friendly service

We were staying at Foxholes farm and wanted to find somewhere very local and come across the Silverfox. It was a Sunday so dinner service had stopped at its usual early time so had some drinks. We got chatting to what seemed to be some locals in the pub asking for a local Indian take away as we had plans to go back to our stay at the farm and eat. The locals really helped with our pick and the lady behind the bar kindly offered us to have delivered to the pub to eat there. She provided us with plates and cutlery and this didn't at all any inconvenience to her at all. Thank you very much for being so accommodating

Great atmosphere & very friendly environment.

Had great evening at the Silver Fox enjoying the best Guinness in town; and the buffet food laid on by the Landlady for my work colleague's retirement do was great too. Excellent time had by all. Thank you Jill

We held my mothers wake at this pub and couldn’t recommend the service enough. The landlady spent time going through what we wanted making changes where we needed. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced and it was nice knowing that everything was in hand. The staff were friendly and the pub had a homely feel to it. Thank you to all that helped make a difficult day slightly easier

Lovely pre Christmas pint with friendly locals, landlady is welcoming well worth a visit 😀

Good service, reasonably priced, nice food

Visited recently to try the homemade pies. I had the beef and Stilton and it was quite honestly one of the most flavour packed pies I’ve ever had. Portion size was huge, staff was friendly and always made sure I had everything I needed. Will definitely be back to try the rest!

The staff look down their noses at anyone who dares exopect a smile and a thank you. The drinks are served with absolutely no pride, flat coke mixed with a lump of ice and no slice, in the worsjt JD and coke imaginable. If you ask for a drink, clearly the staff are doing you a mssive favour getting off their overinflated egos. Possibly the most unfriendly pub ive ever visted.

Three of us had a meal in the Silver Fox last Saturday evening, very pleasant staff. Wonderful selection of pies, Desperate Dan would have a problem finishing one. Thank you Silver Fox,will definitely be back

Having attended this establishment on many occasions and been welcomed previously and spent a lot of money intermittently over the years, I was very disappointed to be sat outside on the bench and the manager took it upon herself to waddle outside to cast quite alarming and slanderous allegations. which can only be put down to unconscious bias, at best. Whilst totally unfazed, as the Landlady is renowned for being somewhat gruff, I took myself away without complaint at the time and nestled myself in the scenic Village Green, as I refused to become embroiled in this meaningless conversation. Hertford Heath is a majestic little village, however I would sadly advise people to steer clear of The Silver Fox if you are seeking friendly service. Thankfully, one is assured of far better food and ambience at The Goat and indeed, The College Arms, which are both very close by.

To say that the food is delicious doesn't do it justice........ Deservedly saved in my favourite places......

A great place for a pie, the portion sizes are large so watch out l, but the food is amazing, friending staff and a good atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere and delicious PIES! <3

Visited a week ago and had a delicious, hearty roast dinner. Staff were friendly and welcoming. There is also a one way system to comply with covid 19 requirements.

Our normal pub at the other end of Hertford Heath had let us down over an early Christmas booking so we thought we'd try somewhere else in Hertford heath. On the web site the Silver Fox looked interesting and the menu quite decent. When we arrived the pub was cold and stayed that way such that my wife and our friend kept their coats on the whole time we were there. Our overall impressions were that the place lacked atmosphere and the service was very casual. The food was a little disappointing I'm afraid. We hoped for better but we were not impressed and will probably not go there again. As it happens the next week we tried our usual pub at the other end of Hertford Heath and had a great time there. It was back to its' normal friendly self with good service and good food and we will be going there again soon.

We held a wake in the function room at the Silver Fox in February 2020. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food they provided was plentiful and varied and included assorted sandwiches, pizza, chicken goujons, quiche, sausage rolls, pork pies, samosas, chips and a bottomless supply of tea and coffee. It all went down very well with the guests. We also ordered some cakes and scones which were home-made by Gill and these too were very much enjoyed. All in all, we were thoroughly pleased with the way everything went, and the prices were very reasonable. We would definitely recommend The Silver Fox for such events.

The best beer infused pies. Nice cosy atmosphere and people

Friendly, and very good value food

Good country pub serving very good ales

Very warm and welcoming pub. Great place to go if you want to catch up with friends as you can actually hear each other when you speak! The pies are especially delicious.

Excellent atmosphere, brilliant service and delicious food, especially the pies. Definitely recommend a visit

Excellent food, 4 of us ordered a diffetent pie each. Everyone one of them was delicious. Very good puddings as well, if you can fit one in! Well recommended, looking forward to returning.

Was empty barmaid didn't know a pino blush was a rose wine had to wait for owner/manager to log on ipad so we could pay by card. Pub was empty and where we sat there was chips under the table

Didn't hate it pies not the same

Good food and friendly service. Usually closed on Monday's but we were lucky because an organised tour group had just finished there. A good visit.

Nice pub! Nice staff! Thanks to the lovely Libby for helping me out the other day.

Lovely pub with friendly staff. Some parking round the side and back of pub. Lovely food with good choice. Had a fantastic Christmas Dinner last year and my food intolerances were catered for.

Visited for drinks. We had a great welcome and teas and coffees were replenished. There was plates of biscuits put out and then to cap it all for our £2 per person, they came round with a plate of cut up scones with jam and cream Excellent visit

Went to the music quiz which was fantastic, stood at the bar whilst a load of students kept creating a line on one side of the bar, only one person on duty, as the students kept coming around again no service was given to either myself or the lady next to me, I asked the barmaid if I would be served if I joined their queue, she then served the lady with me and then myself, later that evening the manageress confronted me in front of my family and guests and said that I was abusive to her barmaid!, when I explained what happened she said that wasn't what she heard - from the barmaid? (which is the same as calling me a liar.) As the manageress came to the bar at roughly the same time as i was served she would have heard me if i had been acting in a poor manner. I will go there again for the quiz, unless it moves somewhere else.

A friend had hired the back room for a function. The food was good, beer and spirits very reasonably priced and the staff very nice and helpful. Nice place.

A really friendly pub. We needed to eat early and the cook was happy to serve us at 5pm. Good pub food including enormous pies and an impressive array of vegan options. Excellent value for money too.

Wonderful welcoming village pub

Really nice traditional pub very nice people.. lovely disco supplied by uptown club discos

Good basic pub food - very good pies. Expected wider range of beers but what I drank was fine. Pleasant staff and lovely building.

Good food good service but I was not so impressed about the food was just ok ....atmosphere cood be better....And more desserts

Great pub in Hertford Heath. Good food and lovely welcome from Dolly.

Went for lunch with the family who can be quite hard to please but a good choice to please everyone. There was also a selection of home made pies on the specials and a varied selection of vegan dishes which I wish I'd tried now.The waitress was very helpful and jolly , the food was good, if any complaint, it was a bit chilly but I'm sure in the winter they have their fire going. Well worth a visit.

Reasonable priced food but cider bottles are really expensive. Can't drink here again. Wetherspoons Kopparberg Cider £2.39 a bottle. Silver Fox £4.94. I'm all for a profit but come on Silver Fox

Good food at very reasonable prices. Great for a pub lunch. Cosy little pub with a warm atmosphere. Ample parking and a beer garden. Good hosts, always willing to listen to a request.

Lovely staff, food is great and is sold at a reasonable price and the atmosphere is very nice!

Food was awful ordered a ploughman's. Ended up with one slice of cheese, 10 small pickled onions, loads of lettuce half uncooked part backed baton with colslaw.

Friendly pub. Good food. Excellent value

Helpful staff and accommodated me perfectly

What a surprise this place is! We went on a Saturday night and there was a band playing in the back room!!We were in a group of 5 and managed to book a table not long before we arrived. The menu was not overly complex and didn’t need to be; as all of our dishes were superb. They make their own pies and my WORD you should try them!! Very reasonable prices and a friendly atmosphere with a welcoming staff. We shall be going back soon!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and superb food. Everything a pub should be, and dog friendly too

Very pleasant staff. Reasonably priced food and drink

Big portions and decent value, but the food is basic and not the best quality.

Took my mum for Mother’s Day ,a real treat , great food , the staff couldn’t do enough to help , the meal was great value for money and the beer was great Thank you to Jill and the team

my friends and I popped in after a cycle ride one Sunday and were treated really nicely by the staff, the beer options were good and the food was very decent honest pub grub, good portions and great value for money, we will definitely go back.

Food really nice with fab friendly service . Went Tuesday lunchtime with friends good pub food and bread and butter pudding to die for Didn’t catch the barmaids name but thank you for lovely service and making us feel welcome

A group of us went to this pub for lunch following a country walk. Great lunch; superb value for money and very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended

I injoy gowing there and everyone is nice

Lovely local pub with very friendly staff and brilliant feel. The food was very good and tasty Highly recommend

Warm, friendly, and inexpensive a place to dine with your family
