I have check back and it was ten years and one month since I last visited the Fox. I was quite scathing. However, things have very much changed and for the better. The staff are lovely, friendly and chatty and the place was very clean and tidy with some lively pub jokes on the wall inside and out. The food was great my only point is the fish was smaller than others in the area, but it was haddock, not cod, like others. Over all I would return and recommend The Fox to others.

This place is so dirty the tables aren't cleaned everything is filthy. It's obvious the food is cooked by a glorified microwave, my order was wrong and the only answer I could get out of the un trained staff is "I don't know" left be honest close the kit he'd and just serve alcohol you cut mess fhat up really.

Cons - empty pub with no atmosphere Cons - food was bad. 2 of us had “trios of meats” which was so dry it was inedible. My other 2 family members had the mushroom and Stilton Wellington. This was underdone. (We do not recommend ordering food here!) Pros - the waitress was lovely and talkative Pros - food came out quickly Pros - prices were not bad Pros - somewhat clean Overall, I would not come here again. More effort needs to be made with the food.

Firstly we arrived we stood at the door and she shouted from the bar find yourself a table and i will come see to you, we seated ourselves (that lady never see to us someone else did) , ordered drinks brought to table by hand not on a tray so two jobs when it could have been one job, ordered food asked a few questions avout the food which the waitress couldnt answer or wasnt sure which she should have known very poorly trained staff , brought drink over with ice didnt even ask if wanted ice or not, left dirty tables as was too busy talking to other customers , one didnt wear mask, when asking for bill never asked if wanted to pay cash or card just brought card machine over didnt offer a receipt once paid dodnt say thankyou just went to other tables , communication very poor they were not very friendly seemed like they did not want us there seemed very rude, noticed a staff member hugging a customer not very professional, maybe need to think of training the staff more or getting rid of the staff and getting more trained staff. Only good part was food was lovely couldnt fault that.

We went to The Fox for lunch and the first drink I had since early November so looking forward to a pint. The pub is covid secure, hand sanitiser on all tables, NHS covid login as you arrive and face masks worn. Ther is an app to order drinks and food but the staff were so attentive we didn't need to use it. The food is all homemade even the chips which were just like my Grandma used to make and the food was very good. Unfortunately the pub is hampered by previous reputations which are now unfounded. If you are in the area give it a go I am sure you won't be disappointed. Thanks for a great visit we will be back soon. Merry Christmas

We popped by here today for lunch as we we were in the area, and it looked like a nice enough pub. Firstly, there is a massive sign saying ‘Please WAIT to be seated’. So we waited... Three tables taken in the pub at best. Red haired lass is talking to some chaps sat down. General chit chat. She saw us, we were ignored and she continued her conversation. A CUSTOMER then come over and told us to sit ourselves down and the staff would come to us once we were sat. My partner wanted to go there and then but I said let’s stay, order a drink and see how it goes. I order a lemonade and orange juice. She comes back with her concoction which was at best an 8th orange juice and remainder lemonade. I ask her to do it again, with way more orange juice as it was disgusting to the point I thought she’s used orange squash. She comes back, this time too much orange and too little lemonade but I didn’t want to upset her or come across as a difficult customer so said it was ok. Not the end of the world. I did ask her if she’d ever made one before and she said no, and I did try and chit chat to make her feel a bit better having felt bad complaining.We then order and food arrives about 30 minutes later (bare in mind there is about three tables in) ... Steak and a fish and chips. My partner requested medium rare, to which he received rare verging on blue. Having already requested change of drink and not being in the best of moods from the ‘greeting’ he wasn’t going to say anything but I could physically see him struggling to eat it. I request the waiter over to which my partner asks how the steak looked. Waiter replies, ‘rare’. At that point my partner expressed being thoroughly annoyed at this point and sent the entire dish back. Mood is so soured at this point he didn’t want a change of dish and nibbled at mine. Another few points, chips were gross and hard and the onion rings made with red onion???? Mushy peas which were ‘minted’, yes massive chunks of mint. The fish was ok. In fairness, they didn’t charge us for the meal nor the drinks after the waiter phoned his manager who was not on duty. No manager on duty? Again, odd. Perhaps with a manager about the pub would have been running a bit smoother? The waitress doesn’t know her pleases and thank you’s, and it was very hard remaining polite when you aren’t getting that service yourselves.Honestly one of the worst meals in a long time, spoons microwaves do a better job.

Firstly all Covid-19 guidelines followed and felt totally safe here. Clearly explained that they were only able to take cash, which wasn't an issue. Anyway, as the title suggests, this was our first visit to the fox, and it definitely will not be the last. Lager not over priced which is always a good start. Now the food. Simple. It was amazing. Absolutely get value for money undeniably. The missus had the bacon/chicken/lettuce/tomato toasted sarnie which was a triple decker with a good portion of healthy looking salad. I thought I'd try a few things so went for some grazers. Southern fried chicken and gravy was light, fresh and warming. Meatballs in the most amazing sauce. Halloumi fries again fresh and tasty. And then the homemade sausage rolls. Soooo tasty, a absolute delight. If I had any niggle, and believe me, this is tiny. But the meat to pastry ratio was wrong. I would reduce the meat down so that there can be 5 instead of 4, without affecting your overheads. That being said, deciding to eat here was a great decision, and set us up for the rest of the day. Amazing food, service very polite and professional, clean premises. Only wish I had taken some pictures to add to this review. Well done everyone at the fox.

By no means is The Fox serving up gourmet food, however, it was better than we imagined it would be. The dishes we had were satisfying and more than filling, yet, I would question the macaroni cheese’s price tag of 4.45 GBP given the small bowl it was presented in (and also had microwave style vibes).On the other hand, the Pravha beers come in at 3.75 GBP per pint, which is very good value. The falafel burger is just okay but the steak and ale pie had plentiful meat hidden inside, and was juicy too.All in all, if you come to The Fox, you know what you’re embarking on: middle of the road ‘pub grub’.

This is an ideal location for someone to transform the Fox into a fabulous local “ bistro pub” , however the owners have not taken the opportunity to invest in the place and hence the decor is tired and outdated, and consequently the staff are not motivated into giving good service. The food is average at best and therefore the place is often only occupied by local drinkers. The atmosphere is not conducive to a “family meal” or even an intimate “ couples” meal, which is a shame. There is a carvery on Sunday, but not well attended as food quality only average. Conclusion, ok for a drink , but would not go back to eat as it’s nothing special.

I have been visiting this establishment for a few years and it has got worse and worse. The food is not worth the money. On my last visit I ordered my meal and my friend ordered a jacket potato with beef chilli and cheese, minus any beef! It was a chilli sauce with a few kidney beans in it, and that was after waiting for over an hour for it, even though there were very few people eating on that day.When we spoke to the staff that he wasn't happy with what they had presented they looked totally shocked that I had complained, and said no refund would be given as there was "nothing wrong" with it, and said its the same chilli beef as they always have served, which is not true as we had that there before and it was nowhere close to what it should look like. The next excuse was that it was "very finely ground" beef, it must have been so finely ground that I would have needed a microscope to see it.The rest of the food was bought out and dumped on the table and the staff left us to it. But that's not all, my meal came with "house coleslaw" which resembled something that a cat had thrown up. I foolishly tried it and nearly had my head blown off, it was made with pure horseradish sauce!! Never in my all of my years have I ever come across coleslaw made with that! It was awful. I can safely say that I will not be returning to that place.

Visited here regularly for the past 5 years and nothing has improved, once again another very dry sandwich with no butter/margarine in sight. Chips were very over cooked to the point where they were in edible, and the gammon was in edible too.

We chose this place because it was across the road from our hotel and we didn't want to pay hotel bar prices! The place looked a little dated and was poorly lit inside. We went there late afternoon and we were one of handful of customers in there. We ordered one of their special offers which included either a soft a drink or a pint. We both ordered cheese burger and chips and a pint and we had approx. 15 min wait, so probably would have taken longer if they were busier! The burger was very thick but cooked well, the side salad was dry and the coleslaw was too thick 'n' creamy and tasteless but on the whole we enjoyed our meals and drink.

Went at lunchtime with my husband and two children.After ordering at the bar, we waited over 40 minutes for our food. Starters and mains were brought together. We decided to live with it and had to push a second table up to accommodate all the dishes.The prawn cocktail was not great - the prawns were watery and that diluted the sauce. The chilli con carne was served with cold rice and tasted very much like it had been bought as a microwavable from Tescos and inadequately heated. Fajitas were served with cold tortillas and the halloumi fingers were slightly undercooked.Other than the delivery of the food, we never saw a member of staff at the table. We had to go to the bar to request additional table water, and later to pay.

The very small portion of chips were chewy, blackened, shrivelled and cold, the peas were cold and dried up like bullets, the hunters chicken didn't have an sauce in it, the chicken was just warm and very overcooked so not moist at all, very dry, the cheese and bacon wrapped around it looked and tasted like they had been miked. Tried to eat it as we didn't have time to wait for a replacement . Won't be going back.

Found this on a journey back a while ago We tend to stop here as it is way better than Cambridge Services, Tesco is next door as is Tesco Fuel. OK we were travelling Sunday so opted for small carvery each, The place can get busy, you kinda have to order, get a drink and sometimes await a table. OK that is not always the best, but it really did not take any time. They do replace the veg very regularly as opposed to loading the veg "cart" up so it gets either cold or dry. The meat was a choice of Beef,Gammon,Turkey I chose Beef Turkey Wife Ham Turkey. A Good range of veg that had just been put out, Carrots, Broccoli, Caulliflower Cheese, Roasties,peas, Mashed 'taters with cheese which was very nice, the usual stuffing, Yorkshire and all that stuff, ours was hot and fresh .....For the price the meal was good meat succulent not dry

Noticed it was close to tesco and various outlets so gave it a try . Outside signage offers lunchtime specials . However due to menu change there was a printed A4 short menu inside .. Was not busy and pub overall is showing wear and tired . There was a 20 min wait for food even though there was only 7 or 8 people in this large bar . Heard several people complaining and thought this does not bode well . However when our food arrived we were pleasantly surprised. Food was presented well and piping hot . We had a curry and was one of the best curries we’ve had inexpensive .

Visited last Friday, had a great Steak Fajita, went back on Sunday for a roast-probably the best Beef I’ve ever had! Just £6.50!! Two brilliant dinners and a great price, could not fault either, we were staying at a nearby hotel and the food was no where near as good and a lot more expensive. You will not be disappointed with your food and price.

We spent a Saturday afternoon here as the hallmark hotels bar prices are high. Food was great and good service.

Went to the Fox as was staying close by, however after being here several times I think it has gone down hill a little bit as the food wasn’t as good as before. However overall a pretty good meal.

Having read some earlier reports about The Fox we were unsure but glad that we tried it for ourselves. We called in for some lunch on the Friday and as we were staying at a nearby hotel we came back for dinner the next evening. Good size portions at sensible prices. Varied wine selection also with sensible prices. Warm & friendly reception.

Not many people in and the aircon was on full pelt. It was freezing in there. 40 minutes wait for very average meal. The whole place looked grubby and unloved. Won’t be back.

I never hope for much when ordering steak in normal pubs, it avoids disappointment. But the steak tonight a Rib eye so not the cheapest piece of meat on the menu, well if I said it was barely edible I would say that’s pretty accurate! It was tasteless and over cooked I will never eat here again.

Parked up in my truck nearby & needed to chill out for a while. The Fox is ideally situated just near the Tesco. Very friendly & chirpy staff. Alcohol isn’t overly expensive & “Shannon” knows her way around the bar to compliment what’s available to drink & eat. I’ll be sure to call back soon

Stayed at the hotel, thought we would try a local pub, music to loud, and wasn't made welcome, thought there might of been more variety of ales and beers, just not for me.

we went here for a family meal whilst visitng relatives on easter saturday, on arrival we were told they were unsure if they would be serving any food as they had problems with staffing, whilst waiting we played a game of pool and it wasn't until a family member noticed that someone was ordering food did we find out that food was available, NO member of staff bothered to come over and inform us they were actually serving food, if we hadn't noticed another customer we would have simply up and left.

Great breakfast in the fox. Well worth a visit, clean and tidy. Hot freshly cooked breakfast, unlimited tea and coffee all at a low cost; looking forward to my next visit.

My husband had a meeting in Cambridge so we decided to go with him and spend the day in Cambridge while we were waiting for him to finish. After he has finished with his work we looked for the nearest place to have something to eat as we were all starving so we went to this pub. There was two men behind the bar: a bald one and one with glasses. No menus were given to us but it was ok, as we already knew what we waned to order as we checked the menu online. We ordered drinks and food from the bald gentleman who was not overly friendly but ok. Then the other man in glasses came to clear our plates, he was very uninterested and walked off. We decided to have some desserts and another drink so I went to the bar to order. This man in the glasses was behind the bar at this point and when I arrived to the bar I already could see on his face that he didn’t want me to be there and I was a pain for him for trying to order something. He came over to me and I asked for two desserts and a drink, he made a very unpleasant face towards me and said to me that the kitchen is closing between 4-5pm, so he was not sure if I was still able to order. The time was 4:40. Well it doesn’t say anywhere that the kitchen closes between 4-5pm, and even if it did I could not see what is soooo difficult about heating up in the microwave a chocolate chip cookie and a slice of fudge cake... anyway he went to the back to double check it for me and he came out and he kinda looked annoyed as he had to take me dessert and drink order. After all we got the desserts and I took my drink to our table my son met another boy and started to paly with him and running around the pub very laudly. It was very disturbing but having that very uncomfortable experience when I clearly felt we were unwanted guests there I just could not be bothered to tell him off or stop him from doing that. As I work in catering and hospitality I know how annoying the running and shouting kids are and I always make sure my son would never do that. But after our experience I was kinda happy that my son gave a little headache to the barmen at least a bit. Unfortunately the guests experienced that as well, but well... anyway this arrogant barman left at 5pm so I took my son and we left. By the way, another family arrived just like a good 10-15 mins before we left (their son started to paly with mine in the pub) and they got food menus (the same one we ordered from) and they had not been told anything about the closing kitchen... they arrived after we were told the kitchen is closing and our dessert order was just a big pain to send through, but they still got menus and were just fine to order food... it clearly shows that the barman had problem with us. Well all I can say that this is disgusting to treat guests like we were treated, and ur staff needs a huge customer service training!!!

Much, much improved over our last visit. General cleanliness and ambience quite good. Coffee weak, 'bacon roll' roll poor quality burger bun which broke up terribly when held.

I’ve been going Hot Numbers for years and it’s never been a cheap option but the venue and quality of food always kept me coming back. Sadly that balance has slipped away of late and the pricing on the reworked menu doesn’t justify the food they’re serving now. On my visit today I ordered the ‘new’ mushroom on sourdough and it arrived as a single piece of bread with a covering of mushrooms, which yes is what it says it will be but it was comically small and looked like something you’d get on a child’s menu. At £11 it’s just too much (in my opinion) and I’ll be heading elsewhere for a while. The plague of flies which are covering the lights on the upper floor isn’t particularly nice either, how no one who works there has thought to try and sort them out is a mystery.
