The Fox in Mendip

This place is absolutely NOT where google maps says it is...

Great vegan food freshly prepared. Friendly staff with very reasonable prices

Delicious food. Excellent burgers, both beef & chicken consistently good. Friendly staff.

Stayed at "The lighthouse" just up the road and wandered out in search of food. Found this place and can honestly say it was one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Nice selection of ales and a welcoming atmosphere. Not sure when I'll be in the area again but 100% will visit when we are.

Good food, great service, reasonable prices.

The Fox. What a fantastic place this is! Fantastic food - Great service - Amazing camping. Would highly recommend.

Amazing burbers, owners are friendly food is 10/10

Amazing burger! All Meat. No chewie bits! Totally recommended ! Chips were good too! Definitely go again!

The best place for takeaways!!! Staff always friendly!! Amazing food.

The best burgers we've ever had. Discovered them in lockdown and have since treated friends and family to them, who all agree that they're the best. Staff are really friendly, good sized portions and their chips are really good too.

Absolutely amazing food! We have been camping on the site so knew we had to try the local Grub & was very pleasantly surprised, i had the fish, my wife a burger & my son had a pizza & we all loved it, each item was cooked perfectly & tasted great! It’s a shame we don’t have another night because we would be having it again! Hopefully we will be back in October so looking forward to eating here again. Good work guys, keep it up as you have a real gem here!

The burgers were 👌🏽👌🏽, best we’ve had in England!

I have been a regular customer and a big fan of The Fox for many years and have just had my first take away from them. We ordered 2 pizzas and they were delicious! Easy to order, collect and pay for. Always a friendly service and fantastic food

The best burger I've ever had. Seriously.

The restaurant isn't open at the moment due to covid restrictions but we had a takeaway last night. The food was absolutely excellent, I had the Thai vegetarian curry and my wife had scampi and fries. There was plenty of food, good sized portions and really tasty, price was very reasonable and the service was spot on and very friendly. Couldn't fault it and we will definitely be visiting again.

Great food, great people, great atmosphere!

Amazing beautiful place and the staff are fantastic people

Sunday carvery was superb, even the parsnips had been treated to a coating. Pity there wasn't much dark beer to choose from, but then again, it must be difficult to cater for absolutely everyone

Great place without a bar food good always busy

The Sunday carvery was nice, with a good selection. Service was good with no issues.

Great food and really lovely staff

If you want a place full of kids,the day we went it was.

Definitely need to book, we were pretty much laughed at and told it was full. We noticed the sign on the side of road and following it to get some lunch. We were initially turned away but another late arrival went in and through to the garden, this was then ok for us to do so. Service was slow, no information given about how the place worked, where to get drinks or how to order food, very strange feeling. Looking around, there's no pumps either, everything is bottled so you have to wait to order drinks and they're bought to your table eventually. Food is simply a buffet, a good one, but not a huge selection of vegetables and being in the last sitting things were running low. Not somewhere I'd go again, just didn't work for me, price was too high for service and menu and there was no feeling of being welcome there.

3 nights eating dinner at what must be the best restaurant in the region. The choice of meals was ex cellent and the thai curry out of this world. The staff were always smiling and couldnt do enough to help. Well done to all. We will be back

We went here during the Summer and was delicious. We stayed in the camp site behind the fox and their takeaway option was brilliant!

Lovely Sunday roast. Plenty of veg choice and accompaniments like apple sauce,gravy etc.

Good food...with generous vegetable portions👍

Great little place with a lovely camping spot in the back

Excellent atmosphere consistently good quality and priced food, friendly attentive staff, always a very enjoyable visit.

Found this place after searching Google maps when driving back from Longleat Safari park. Glad we found it, really nice restaurant, good food and really friendly staff. They have a pretty good kids menu as well so the little ones were happy. Would recommend it and would definitely come back if in the area again.

Beautifully prepared food, friendly staff and excellent value for money

Amazing! Driving back to London, searched for restaurants on google maps, The Fox came up with 4.6 stars. Took a punt as it's not too far off route and was well worth the detour. Service was warm and friendly, food was amazing me and the wife both had the pie, served hot and in good time. Good portions, we loved the way the chips and veg came separately so you could decide how much or little you wanted. The boy had fish fingers and chips again good portions, I finished his chips. As I said, well worth the visit.

Absolutely excellent. Food service and decor. Love love love

Really good burgers on burger night. Best chips I've had for ages in a restaurant/pub.

Most amazing dinner and such lovely staff, gorgeous place, will definitely be back!

Very nice surroundings and a lovely Sunday carvery.

Very nice atmosphere good choice of great food can day this as eaten her twice in three days as staying very near by at an equally lovely B & B

Excellent Sunday Carvery again. Always a pleasure to have a family meal here.

Looks like a traditional pub on the outside. There is plenty of parking around the building. Go inside and it's set up like a rustic restaurant; for instance there is no traditional bar. However we like the atmosphere of the place. The staff were polite and helpful. Drinks and food was served relatively quickly. The food we had tasted very good, obviously using good quality ingredients. The prices were a little on the side but not extortionate. However, we were pleased enough with our experience that you returned for a second evening. Happy to recommend.

Nice food and didn't have to wait long.

Very good home cooked food all came up piping hot and vegetables were Cooked perfectly , ice cream locally produced was again very nice . A decent pint of bitter washed it all down , all done at a very reasonable price . Would highly recommend , for the whole family Service was cheerful and efficient, and the place comfortable , if your in the area well worth a visit

Wonderful! Food was lovely, staff attentive and friendly. Fabulous atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Amazing. Staff were really friendly. The food was delicious and I could have spent hours in there as the vibe was lovely.

Food and staff fabulous but we went on Easter Sunday and were rushing at the end because they were closing.

Excellent place to go for a carvery really good value

Great food and staff. Good to visit when offers are on.

Best food I've had in a long while. Thai curry and the pie are especially good

Fantastic place, lovely people, cracking food. You know it's good when you have to book! Our new favourite place for dinner.

Best carvery around by far. The choice of veg is brilliant which is cooked beautifully but the best bit is the puddings. 5star.

Abaolutely delicious carvery. The best roast I've had next to my own obviously! Will be going back for more.

Excellent group meal this evening service excellent food top notch as usual :)

Delicious food, great service and lovely gin!!! All in all a wonderful night out. Thank you guys x

Lovely afternoon at the Fox with a great Sunday roast. The meat was lovely with generous portions and the veg was great too. We had pudding which everyone enjoyed. Great Sunday lunch!

good food good service and a comfortable pub environment

We missed the bar not being there staff good not alot of room and very busy. Lacked any atmosphere.

Fabulous food and wonderful welcoming staff.

Clearly a small business trying to get their feet off the ground. We ate there 2 nights on the trot. The first night they were under staffed and we had to wait a while to order and for our food to come. When the food came it was worth the wait. We decided to go back a second time and were pleased that we did. The service was much better. The food was excellent. Produce was local and everything tasted freshly made. Even the children's meals had fresh vegetables. (A rare thing these days) The selection of ales was good. The wine list could probably have been a little longer, but we still found a bottle we liked. Would we go back? Yes! (But not on Monday as they are closed)

Very friendly staff, great food with generous portions, what else do you need? I highly recommend the Fox!

Second time visiting, wonderful meal, lovely staff. Honestly couldn’t fault the food.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Recommended.

Excellent Sunday carvery, best I’ve ever had in fact. Fab range of veg that they’d made a real effort with - as well as beautifully cooked roast meat. Will certainly be going back one evening to try the regular menu. Very family and dog friendly.

Tuesday night is burger night...American stack is amazing!!! Nuff said. If you like good food then this is a great place to eat.

Good food selection and loads of nice uncommon beers to try

Really good food reasonable price but it's not a pub but a restaurant so it would be best to book.

Very good place to enjoy a nice meal with your family, friends or partner. They have a large variety of vegetables and the vegetarian option is always a good idea. The price is very reasonable, as you can eat a lot without expending a lot of money. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they are always walking around to make sure that costumers always get what they want quickly. I haven't tried their puddings yet, but last time I visited I had a look at the menu and was about to order something. Besides it has a big car park, which is another advantage. I hope I'll come back soon.

Me and better half went here for a meal , we went there a few years ago. It has certainly improved massively. Food was excellent and staff were friendly and very efficient. I had a mixed grill and I can honestly say it was the best quality one i have ever had. All in all, great food, great staff and great service all round. Well worth a visit.

Scrummy food and a Gin menu too!

Superb food and great aray of drinks.

Food is AMAZING. Every person in our group of 10 LOVED their dinner! The only reason for the 4 star rating is that the service was incredibly slow, and we never did get the water we asked for.... however, the quality of the food more than made up for it. Ambience inside and out is lovely as well.

Fantastic food and service and a great selection of drinks

Great food and a very warm welcome

Fabulous pub, fantastic food and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

A real delight; excellent food and a great beer selection.

Lovely lunch as always . quick and friendly service too!

Lovely well presented food, interesting menu but not pretentious at a reasonable price. Attentive, helpful and friendly staff. The garden is fine - ideally for future reference it would be more attractive to sit out in if there was more planting i.e. plant over the garage wall.

Disappointing Sunday carvery. Food was not as good as I could have done at home and the lack of real pub means no atmosphere.

Always great food at a reasonable price, friendly staff, and Adam & Michelle equally so. Definitely recommended

Lovely staff, gorgeous carvery, homemade icecream, nice quiet garden - and 1 min walk from their campsite - Very handy for when you're camping! Check opening hours as it's a lunch restaurant rather than a pub.

What a gem of a find this place is...After travelling 4hrs from Suffolk based on what I had heard about The Fox, it certainly didn’t disappoint! For me, the homemade burger is alawys great test to see what the food is going to be like and it was amazing, cooked to perfection as was the mixed grill I had the next night . The Sunday carvery was that good I had to have double helpings. The owners, staff and service were amazing to, so friendly and welcoming, you really feel well looked after. If your looking for somewhere to stay ( check website for accommodation details ) or just want a great meal then The Fox is a must, family and dog friendly to just makes it an all round great place to visit

Food a bit 'kept heated'. Friendly though

Enjoyed an excellent meal would be happy to recommend you.

Good food on the evening Nicely redecorate.

Went for a Sunday carvery and was not disappointed. A huge plate of food with a generous portion of perfectly cooked beef (other meats were available) followed by a very nice cheesecake. Very quick, polite table service too.

Best sunday carvery in Somerset great service great food :)

Excellent in all respects ! Superb food with attentive, caring staff. Impressive ! Highly recommended.

Great food thanks. Service good as well.

Ate at the Fox last night - super friendly staff, really cool place (love the beer wall!), and amazing food!

We had been to the Festival of light at longleat so took a gamble & after fitting us in at the last minute, we enjoyed a pleasant main course. We just did not have enough room for desert. I had the burger and mrs baileys dad had a steak. The burger was well cooked & there were plenty of chips served in a mini basket. All the food was well presented, hot and tasty. The staff are friendly & the prices are reasonable. The presentation was excellent & we did not have to wait too long. We will return for another lovely meal at the Fox.

We had an amazing evening really large party of people. They coped with us brilliantly.

Outstanding and excellent for all kinds of ovcasions

Good venue, welcoming and with good food.

Michelle & Alan are the perfect hosts. The food was really good, the staff all very pleasant and you weren't rushed in any way. Afterwards there are sofa's to sit on for that wonderful end of meal coffee. Can''t recommend it to you enough.

Lovely hosts. Amazing space, great location and within easy reach

Absolutely love this place. Food is delicious and homely. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the service is first class. My only regret is that we discovered it rather late in the 20 odd years that we have been visiting this area.

Great food friendly staff great landlord great camping

Excellent food friendly staff very good value

Great menu, lovely staff and great decor

Food was lovely, staff friendly but could do with being a tad quicker. I'm sure that's just down to inexperience so would 100% recommend.

Great hosts and fantastic food.

Beautifully refurbished. Still amazing food and service.
