The Dog and Fox in Wiltshire

Website showed great promise. Kerbside appeal good, car parking good, service very good ( very helpful and friendly). Strange layout inside as its old building, dining room has no bar. Garden not used to its full potential, only very old tired play equipment for children. Food reasonable, 2 out of 3 meals okay. Third meal of chicken disappointing, either poor quality meat or overcooked or possibly both !!!!! Empty on a nice sunny lunchtime !!! Sorry but would not rush back.

My absolute favourite place for a delicious, high quality Sunday lunch - served by excellent staff. Well recommended. We are lucky to have the Dog and Fox in Bradford on Avon. Consistently good all round.

Party in the function room at the Dog & Fox, fantastic facility, great food provided and looked after us brilliantly. Highly recommend.

Fantastic venue for a Surprise party, Clive & his team are wonderful hosts & listened to our requests. Great venue, delicious food & superb range of drinks. Perfect spot for a surprise 50th birthday party. We were able to bring in a local band & dance the night away. Thank you Dog & Fox for making memories happen 🌟

Fabulous pub run by Clive and his amazing staff. We were there in the beginning cannot recommend enough now Ros on board . Wishing you every success Ian & Ali

Great dog friendly pub - there were 6 of us for a family meal, welcome was lovely and warm, fires lit and very welcoming and the food was great honest pub food - to be honest some of the best we had had for a long time - lots of gluten free options and the puddings where heaven. Overall excellent pub well worth a visit

We had my partners 60th birthday party here, everything was amazing, the staff, the room and the buffet was lovely. We then came back for Sunday lunch to finish off the weekend. This was also superb! Scotch Egg to start followed by Roast Beef, the cauliflower cheese was amazing and should be on the menu on its own!!! Would highly recommend.

The pub seemed very quiet for a Saturday night, but the food and beer was excellent, as was the service. All straightforward grub, but good value for money.

A couple of weeks ago, Mum & I were in Bradford on Avon town centre as we had seen a few pubs advertised in a local magazine. One pub was overly busy, so we decided to check this one out when we found out they were still serving food mid afternoon. It is a family/dog friendly pub at the end of a small residential area. It was actually quiet in the pub & I just assumed it was because it was late in the day. We later found out there was a large party gathering on the other side of the pub. We would never have known but it did explain why service was slow. The three young girl servers were all very pleasant but somewhat inexperienced. The manager is a lovely guy & really came across like he really cares about his customers so that gave us a good impression. Both my mum & I commented on how good the food was & we both agreed that it was a very relaxed pub with the right ambience so we will definitely consider another visit here.

This pub is off the beaten track, meaning it isn't too busy. It serves high quality food, is dog friendly and has a lovely log burner. Friendly staff with a lovely rustic atmosphere

Excellent pub food. Nice people. Very helpful in terms of getting dairy-free food. Special diet available. Open fire place.

Called by the Dog & Fox for dinner as we were in the area, and had a good meal. It was noisy in there and the food was adequate but not exciting, however a good time was had and it was a useful 'watering hole'.

After a busy couple of weeks we just needed to stop and recharge so treated ourselves to a nice lunch. The pub itself is welcoming and warm and was quite busy but that didn’t stop the service being great. We both had the garlic mushrooms to start and they were fantastic a real naughty treat with that rich creamy garlic sauce. For mains I had the pie which was packed full of meat (turkey and bacon) in an onion gravy served with chunky chips and seasonal veg that could not have tasted fresher. Also with a side of gravy. My other half had the vegan wellington with chunky chips and seasonal vegetables and again it was lovely. Both the pie and the wellington had wonderful light pastry too! We both wanted pudding but we were also silty stuffed so we will save that for another visit! Overall, lovely pub with fantastic service and absolutely quality home cooked food at a reasonable price!

We had a Lovely roast pork this Sunday. There is a nice open fire and lovely atmosphere. Very welcoming pub and great service. Thank you.

The waiting staff were rushed off their feet and some of them were very inexperienced but our Sunday lunch was good when we finally got it. Two of our party were coeliac and were told that they couldn't have gluten free gravy with their gluten free roast!! We insisted and finally got something resembling gravy. The head waitress went out of her way to be helpful and we ended up enjoying our visit.

Excellent service - the staff made us very welcome and didn’t mind that we were late. The Sunday roast was very good especially the beef. All the food is locally sourced especially the meat and veg. We will definitely be going back.

Interesting wine list. Delicious roast beef and veg to perfection. I wish I had taken some photos because words can only tell half the tale!!

Visiting from abroad me and my partner stayed in April Cottage. We visited lots of places around the town and visited the dog and fox on a beautiful sunny evening. We hadn’t planned on eating here but so many other people were when we arrived we thought we might try. We had the charcuterie to share fish and chips and a burger. The service was excellent and charismatic despite struggling to keep up with demand. Would be a 10 star if possible.

Booked a table for Sunday Lunch, and to be honest for £18.50 I expect another slice of beef (2 small slices served) more than two roast potatoes which were cold, and something green. There was no broccoli, peas or beans etc, just picked cabbage which is not something everybody likes. It was all over priced. The brownie pudding for £7 came with the smallest scoop of ice cream I've seen, although the eton mess was lovely. Atmosphere and service in pub lovely, just improve the roast. Too expensive for what it was. Sorry guys.

For my late mother we had a wake at a pub in colerne called the 6 Bells. They don't do food at the moment but its owned/run by the same family who own the The Dog and Fox. They proved the food (And venue) and I was amazed by the quality of sandwiches, tiny donuts, and nibbles they provided. I've had people tell me how they enjoyed the "Proper cuts of ham" and that "the fillings were made to be eaten." There were good dietary options - and this was never asked for or specified. Everything was perfect without me having to lift a finger - a huge relief while dealing with sudden bereavement, funeral plans, ect. I have only good things to say about what they provided. It was also a great price compared to other options. I'm so glad the day went well.

Seven of us dropped in at 7.30pm on a Thursday evening for food, with no booking - it was busy and buzzing with locals and cyclists alike. We were warmly welcomed, shown to a table straight away and enjoyed good beer and decent pub food with no hassle and great service from the young waitress (who was just brilliant).

Popped in for a Friday lunch pint and stayed for a great burger. Lovely friendly welcome on a cold day plus a good fire burning. The lady had a Malbec and I couldn't resist a pint of Landlord by Timothy Taylor which was Proper good....

What more can we say... Yummy Sunday roastie and even tho full you can't not have the sticky toffee not too sickly pudding. Perfectly light and heavenly.

Wow that was good. Always a challenge to risk going out for Sunday lunch if you're partner cooks an amazing one. The dog & fox did it!! Think it was Tom & Matt on... maybe there's a chef competition on! Anyway go book. Fabulous selection...

Where do I start? Booked last minute - not a problem. Two small children - not a problem (great outside space and staff completely accomodating). The roast dinners were superb and the atmosphere was jolly, comfortable and relaxed. Totally chilled out and the best customer...

Wow what can I say. Currently on the sofa feeling very fat after lunch at the dog and fox. The food was amazing and a very good amount. We'll worth the £15 . The staff are all very friendly and polite and the service was...

The Dog and Fox continues to evolve, but the welcome remains as warm as ever. Catering is now provided with partners Jack's Kitchen, who are providing a diverse selection of high quality food from Thursday to Saturday, and an utterly superb traditional roast every Sunday....

Great pub , nice pint of Timothy Taylor , welcoming landlord , and good visiting tandoori catering - really tasty . And all in the last rays of the setting sun . Top location

Upon arrival we felt having booked a table for dinner, how disappointing to be told that they do not take bookings and only had a Greek evening available. The Landlord was not welcoming or apologetic with manners lacking.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Clive, the staff and the regulars/locals, at the Dog and Fox. For making us so welcome when we ‘crashed’ this characterful country pub, for the ‘Football’ yesterday evening. Six of us on a Barge at...

Very nice pub, with a super friendly and helpful landlord. Great choice of beers. The locals were also very welcoming. We will be back!

Nice recent addition to the menu the meat sharing platter. Lovely selection good price and accompanied by a lovely pint of Butcombe ale. Well recommended.

I had a great sunny Sunday evening sat outside the D&F with my family. We tried the burgers & wood fired pizzas that has been set up in the gazebo - they were wonderful, the kids even said they are “better than schools” which is...

Reminds me of places in Oxfordshire & Wensleydale, and just a step out of Bradford. All the country pub stuff you want, plus a really nice garden with children's play kit round the corner. Popular and cheery, it works as a villagey local and as...

This was my local as I lived in the Ashley area for a few years and in a way is the reason that I am a light drinker now. It was here that I discovered with my pals the joys of cider and on many...

Proper pub ful of locals and visitors. Good food and drinks.Go there, you will not be dissapointed, promise.

Traditional Wiltshire pub run by my great aunt back during WW1. Bordering Bradford upon Avon, called in for a light sandwich lunch. Served using fresh ingredients with nicely cooked chips. Very friendly staff and a lovely spot to enjoy a drink and a bite outside...

This place doesn't open for food every night so check first. We had a great meal, my steak was lovely and my husband's fish and chips were too. The staff are super helpful and friendly. A really nice place.

Sometimes I like 'posh' pub food, but sometimes I crave a simple, satisfying Sunday lunch. The Dog and Fox is a lovely old country pub offering unpretentious, tasty, generous and reasonably- priced Sunday lunches. I also liked the fact that there were two different gravies...

We had a lovely evening at this pub. Staff and patrons were super friendly, the food was good, and the atmosphere was great. A proper character English pub! We couldn't find a similar place in Bradford on Avon town. The landlord is very very friendly...

12 pre-ordered food but 9 of us didn't as we didn't know we were definitely riding. The pub were worried that their food service might be too slow. No problem. They coped very well with the increased numbers. The food was hot and quite quick....

This was a booked following a Google search for a convenient meeting point. What a great find, quite a quaint feel on entering, but the warm friendly welcome was lovely. Just right amount of choice on the lunchtime menu, with our party choosing the Chicken...

A group of us met to check out the real ales, and were well pleased with the condition and surroundings. We were made welcome and took up an outdoor table. The Timy Taylors Landlord was guest and in excellent condition, Butcombe and Courage bitters were also available

Easy access, ample parking, large garden with lovely views. Best sandwiches we had had for a very long time, nicely presented with a garnish salad and a small portion of beautifully cooked chips. Reasonable prices, well kept draught beers and ciders, friendly staff

Abbiamo provato questo pub dietro consiglio di Steve il nostro ospite del b&b.; È un pub nella campagna frequentato da locali. Cibo ottimo e ottima birra. Lo consiglio vivamente a chi è in zona.

Read a review in the Wiltshire Times recommending this pub, so glad we went for a visit. The pub is stunning, the staff are really welcoming and made our visit really memorable. Then there’s the food oh the food. We were greedy and had three courses and everything was perfect. Our waitress was excellent really personable and very efficient, a real pleasure.

Returning to the UK for the first time in two years, there have been many changes, but this fine country pub is as good as ever. Still serving fantastic great hand pulled drinks, the menu is even better. Hats off to a great landlord and creative chef!

Stopped here for lunch on Saturday afternoon with family. Had sandwiches and a plough mans very nice food big portions sandwiches included a pot of fries and salad. Nice country feel with fire and wood beams. Would recommend.

This is a superb traditional British pub. Home made food in an authentic setting with staff who’re polite and passionate about their pub. We couldn’t recommend this highly enough. Real log fires and low beams add to the experience.

We eat around the area a lot. The Dog and Fox most definitely gets our vote for the best Sunday Roast. The meat (whatever you choose) is fantastic every time. The veg are always cooked perfectly and the roasters are proper home-made roasters. The pub itself may not be swankey (who wants a swanky pub) but a beautiful old fashioned pub, with open fire in the winter and a lovely atmosphere. The service is quite prompt and has always been top notch. We only wish this was our local.

Dropped in here for dinner before Taikyo Drumming at Wiltshire MusicCentre. Very convenient for this site. It was raining and miserable outside so nice to be welcomed into the pub with a quietly buzzing hum of conversation and a fire in the dining room. We were attended to promptly, and our ‘need for speed’ acknowledged. The wait was a little longer than we expected, giving us 15 minutes to eat our meals. I had a very tender sirloin with an appetisinglypresented and tasty salad and very hot chips. My friend had beef and ale pie which she said was steaming hot and delicious. I’d go back.

Chose this pub because our dog could come into the dining area.

Lovely pub and real wood fire. Cosy atmosphere and pleasant staff. The food was hot and served quickly. Sadly the pork belly was tender but with the additions of the dry ends made it quite and effort to eat. The lamb was tough but everything else was delicious.

Lovely atmosphere, good food nice small menu everything cooked to order and friendly helpful service.

Landlady in the b&b; we are staying in recommended this place. We loved the 70’s decor look it had.very friendly pub, lovely fire and a warm welcome from the landlord.first night we had the steak and onion pie which was the best we’ve ever tasted.we have been back for the next 2 days and have not been disappointed.

Walk, cycle or drive, the Dog and Fox has some of the best views over the countryside. Nursing a pint in summer sunshine out in the garden is joyful. Indoors has not been messed about by the brewers and retains its original charm.

Lovely warm and welcoming pub with very friendly hosts and excellent food. We visited on a Saturday night and would thoroughly recommend.

Went for a Sunday lunch with my family. To start with the queue for drinks was ridiculous with only one person manning to drinks. One man next to me spent ages queuing up to order food, only to be told that this was the queue for drinks only when he got to the front, when there was no clear indication which queue was which.

Lovely spot on a summers day outside and a nice warm place to be in the winter. Good selection of ales and the cider is always top notch.

One of the best Sunday lunches I have had, my husband and I both had the beef and our friend had the lamb we all commented what a lovely meal it was and next time we will make room for a pudding.

Having moved back to the area - I was Re discovering old haunts and the Dog and Fox was next !

We took a visiting friend for Sunday lunch. We all had different dishes and they were all delicious. Tthe lamb and chicken were excellent quality and good helpings and the Yorkshire Puddings were crisp on the outside and deliciously soft on the inside.

My Partner And her Brother and I went to this pub and had a superb meal,Brother and I had a lamb Shank and my Partner had salmon starter as a main. Good service great atmosphere in the pub

A delightful pub on the edge of town.

And so glad we did. Excellent food, friendly service and dog friendly. Compliments to the chef for the best pie ever! If I could have taken her home I would have. I hope the comments given that the landlord beats his dog are unfounded.

Having just arrived in the area on holiday we wanted to find a good place to feed our 3 year old before bed (and ourselves). Proper traditional friendly, helpful local. Great selection of food and drink, great customer service, relaxing atmosphere.

A real locals pub with friendly staff. Good range of menu options, all reasonably priced. Generous portions and well cooked. Ham hock was lovely as was lamb.

We had the misfortune of witnessing the landlord beating his dog across its back. When someone said that was unacceptable, the landlord banned them from the pub.

Booked a table for 6 for Sunday Lunch by phone. Lady who took the booking was very efficient and friendly. I was asked at the time of booking if there were any allergy issues, because it was useful for the kitchen to know in advance. Was very impressed by this as one of our group has a severe dairy allergy and another is allergic to nuts.

We visited this little hidden gem with our young son and were delighted with the warm and friendly welcome we received. My son enjoyed the play area and loved having room to run around. Perfect for a warm sunny day as it’s not near a busy main road. We will definitely be returning to try the food in the very near future.

Had a very enjoyable evening in this lovely country pub, is the kind of place you wish was your own local. Great food and felt really welcome, highly recommended.

If you want a country pub with homemade cooking, good choice of beers & ciders, look no further. Just check before your visit, as food isn't on every day or evening. Sunday lunch is Excellent.

Went for a meal one night while we were staying nearby. Food was lovely and the staff were amazing. Very polite and nice to talk too.

Despite living locally, the Dog and Fox had escaped our attention to our detriment it turned out. The friendly land lord squeezed us in at relatively short notice for Sunday lunch which turned out to excellent quality.

Beautiful local village pub with staff that are kind and attentive. Food has been fantastic, a good traditional pub menu but with a delicious specials menu which always seems to have something different from the last. The starters and lite bites are superb and are such a size they could be a main course and that is defiantly not a complaint! meats are local sourced and the chef certainly knows how to cook! the price for food is fantastic averaging £12 main course. The owners make you feel welcome and enjoy running a pub. would recommend to anyone.

Clive certainly made you feel welcome here and the location is just away from Bradford on Avon so a car is recommended. The local tradition and feel is still here with the little snug and beer garden. A true pub with the old English character and a great landlord.

We love this pub. It's a traditional, honest pub - a wonderful contrast to some of the over-priced, over-hyped and self-regarding venues in Bradford on Avon.

I think the title actually says it all! Great pub food, well cooked, veggies very nicely cooked, not a mush you find in many places. Service was excellent. And to top it all, dog friendly.

A really great roast beef and yorkshire pudding, the best Sunday roast in ages. Good beer too. Lovely play area for the kids. Feels like what pubs used to be like.

Delicious home made burgers with great friendly service from new waiter Louis. A lovely relaxing way to start our weekend in the perfect country pub. Proud to call it our local.

Four of us just had an excellent meal at the Dog & Fox.

This pub has only one drawback it does not offer food every night. The 'chef's specials' menu compliments the standard pub fare with the likes of whitebait and the killer 'baked Camembert', along with mains Scottish Muscles and Salmon Wellington. We even got a free 'Dog and Fox' pen/torch for our night walk back! Top service every time. Even without the freebie it gets our vote!

We visited the Dog & Fox purely by chance when searching for places to eat near where we were staying

Pleasant pub to meet for Sunday lunch, relaxed atmosphere. Tasty food, friendly and and good service. Dog and child friendly. Although could benefit from a changing facility for babies.

Myself and my partner popped up to the dog and fox for a few drinks on a nice summer evening last week! After an hour in the lovely garden we decided to go inside as it was getting chilly! We were debating what to do for supper when we spotted the menu and had a browse! We quickly decided on eating and were so glad we did! My partner went for the Thai green curry off of the specials board and I went for the dog and fox burger! Both meals were ready in 20mins and were fabulous! Burger was homemade, fresh and delicious! Staff were very friendly and helpful!We will be returning!!!

Such a pleasure to eat in a Pub that still feels like a Pub rather than a restaurant. Great relaxed atmosphere.Food was good and honest home cooking rather than the pretentious stuff you get in a lot of the so called gastro pubs nowadays.Decent service, although a little rough around the edges. The waitress could have ironed her shirt, nit picking yes, but first impressions do count.

Considering this was a Cider House pub, bit of a dive, it has been transformed!.What a chance, I'll keep this short and sweet - go there!!! the Sunday lunch was super and the service was great - well done If you don't want to eat, the pub garden is a lovely place to sit and have a brew (or 5!) in the sunshine.Well done to the owners and staff, credit where it's due

Following a recommendation of our host, we came for supper. We all thought the food was great (I had the sea bass - perfectly cooked, nicely presented and very tasty, The service was excellent and friendly, and we didn't have to wait too long. A lovely meal and a great location. Thanks for having us!

This is a lovely older style pub with a cosy bar on one side and a larger with tables for eating or drink with a lovely open fire. The service is very good and friendly. A good choice of main dishes and excellent sandwiches or soup for lunch. There is plenty of outside room too around the pub situated on the edge of countryside in a small hamlet and on the edges of the atttractive town of Bradford on Avon. Being on a quieter road going out into the countryside it is a peaceful place to sit over a drink or a meal. Just as inviting on a chilly day as on a fine day when it is very pleasant out the front and not a lot of noisy traffic going by! There is even a good play area at the side for the children. It is friendly and easy going and a place to linger.

Stumbled on this place whilst on a drive. Went in to have a drink and ended up staying for Sunday lunch.Food was amazing. Lydia the chef is turning out great, hearty home cooked meals. I looked around and every plate was going back to the kitchen clean. In fact, I we'd both not been brought up better, I'd have licked mine clean.Tasty beef, great yorkshire and a nice selection of veg. Shame we live over 150 miles away, as I would gladly come here again.

Food, drink and atmosphere were all spot on for a lovely Sunday pub lunch after a long walk from Bath to Bradford-On-Avon along the canal. The landlord/lady generously catered for the dogs by giving them biscuits, they came and asked after the food for every course, supplied drinks regularly and sat and chat once we had finished our meal. Having the rugby on in the background provided a great backdrop, especially as England won. Would highly recommend it- it isn't a gastropub and it doesn't pretend to be- it is much more like being cooked for by an old friend in their own home
