The Fox in West Oxfordshire

A have been out for Sunday roasts but this was by far the best I have ever had. Quality beef & trimmings, portion so big, I needed a doggy bag & demolished the next day! Friendly warm atmosphere! Sticky toffee is to die for!! I will be back!

We went as a large family to celebrate our son's birthday. We preordered our food and Stuart, the chef, delivered 21 superb meals more or less at the same time. The roasts were absolutely delicious. Mo was so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were lovely and friendly. Absolutely fantastic time. Thank you all so very much. We will be back, but in smaller numbers!

Wow, wow, wow!!!!! Joe fitted us in after having a pint here in the early afternoon. I had the Beef & Guinness pie and Melissa had the Hickory Chicken. Fantastic food, generous portions, home cooked food. Decided to have a pudding, so we opted for Sticky Toffee Pudding with custard and Chocolate Brownie and custard. Food prepared with TLC, fully booked and Well worth a visit. Thank you, we will return! The pub has such a good vibe to it, the decor is perfect and has history!

This place is an absolute gem. The food is good, the portions are very generous and it's good value for money. Service is crisp and friendly. We'll be back!

Amazing place to eat 10/10. Good homemade pub food, lovely presentation, food served hot & plenty of it. You won't go hungry. Very reasonable prices, always busy so best to book. Mo & Joe are very welcoming. I highly recommend this lovely village pub. I cannot wait to visit again!

Great Sunday lunch 😋 catered for 3 young children who wanted alternative to Sunday lunch and elderly father who wanted soup...which was blitzed to assist with his ability to manage eating peices. Great desserts too.

Popped in for a quick lunch meeting with a friend and was blown away by the delicious soup. Am always a fan of leak and potato soup but this leak and potato soup was divine and served with beautiful fresh granary bread. Will be back for more.

There was 17 of us coming in for Sunday lunch, drink and watch the rugby. Landlord was miserable - if he was the landlord - some Irishman. Lady on the till couldn’t understand English taking the orders. Took 20 mins to get served, couldn’t wait to get out. Never again. They were more interested in watching the rugby than taking our money. Will try a different pub in the area next time - as we walked out people outside said I wouldn’t waste your time going in there! Must be known to be a miserable place!

Lovely food & atmosphere, myself & mum both had the scampi, portions were huge & there was no room for dessert even though they looked scrummy!

This is our new local, We go there as much as we can, landlord and lady are lovely, food is proper pub grub and large portions

We’ve just had dinner at this lovely pub to celebrate our anniversary. What can I say, absolutely perfect, staff were all so friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was absolutely delicious couldn’t fault it, served hot. The Stilton mushrooms omg were so good as was the chilli and the hickory chicken. Very dog friendly, shame it’s not our local as we are on a mini break. Highly recommend you try here.

The Fox is a little gem of a pub. A proper traditional pub with great beer and excellent food. Very friendly and relaxed. Fabulous landlord and landlady.

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere & such a friendly welcome. Very large portions! In the words of the Mr…absolutely bangin!

On Sunday my wife and I enjoyed an excellent Sunday Roast lunch. The Nut Roast was the best she had ever had and I could not decide between pork or lamb and was offered a combi selection, some of each. The portions were plentiful, excellent variety of veg, great value for money and very friendly and efficient staff. We sat outside in a great rural location we will definitely return.

Leafield was once known as Fieldtown and this name will be familiar to the morris dancing community as many sides still perform dances in the Fieldtown tradition. Sadly, Fieldtown Morris have long disbanded, but their tradition lives on and it is easy to imagine them, in times past, dancing outside the Fox, then coming inside afterwards for a pint or six. For the Fox remains very much a cosy, traditional village pub set opposite the village green. An interesting pottery collection hangs from the wooden beams, further enhancing the character of the place. There are four handpumps, although only two were in use at the time of our visit, with a choice of the local favourite, Hooky ale, plus Hanlon's Yellow Hammer. Food is very good, with an appealing menu of reasonably priced dishes including most of the usual pub favourites plus a specials board with some more interesting options. An independent family run pub, service is unhurried and the licensees are welcoming and friendly.

Great roast lunch. Lovely fresh vegetables and cauliflower cheese along with good portion of meat, stuffing and Yorkshire. Great value for money and very efficient friendly service

Always a warm welcome, staff are so friendly. If you want a good Sunday lunch this is the place to go. I am a vegetarian and they have a lovely nut roast for me and the Eton Mess is the best.

Recently reopened as a sister to The Angel in Burford. Super setting and outdoor eating beside the river, nice food and a good selection of beers. Visited twice in a week.

Generous portions of usual pub fare, however we had a long wait for our food. Very dog friendly pub - a couple were in the evening we went. I would, however, recommend checking your receipt carefully as unordered drinks had been added to our bill. These were pointed out, and the bill revised, but there was no apology for their mistake. Left feeling less than happy!

Having eaten here on a Saturday evening we decided to try a Sunday Lunch - just one word - WOW! It was absolutely delicious; beautifully cooked and presented, plentiful and piping hot. Just about had enough room to squeeze in a dessert . . . Excellent hosts and atmosphere. Thank you to all involved.

As usual we found a great place to eat on our last day of the holiday. If you're losing your mojo looking for decent places to eat, then go and see Mo and Joe at the Fox, Leafield. A warm welcome awaits you in a proper pub with excellent food with very generous portions at a reasonable price too. As another review said, you'll be rolling home after a visit here. The chef was very accommodating, making a sauce for one of the meals. Just a shame we are going home tomorrow or we would have been back. Keep up the good work!

We were fortunate enough to be booked in to a lovely cottage in Leafield in the Cotswolds, it’s right next door to a wonderful country pub owned by a very lovely couple Mo and Joe who were such lovely hosts looked after us like we...

Visited for evening meal. Typical pub food, well cooked and presented. I had the steak pie which had a very generous helping of steak which was tender and tasty. The staff although very busy we’re attentive friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend this pub.

Visited last Sunday after not going for a little while due to COVID and had a lovely roast as always friendly landlords and a plate full of yummy food. Will always be our favourite place for a reliably good Sunday Lunch!

Overall a great meal, the landlady was so kind and polite. It would've been 5* however the landlord was rather rude and made me feel uncomfortable.

We often eat here the owners are very friendly and helpful and the food is always excellent, would recommend this place highly to everybody, it’s a fantastic venue for Leafield giving locals and visitors alike a great place to eat, the owners certainly know how...
