We came to the fox for some platters of Christmas finger food after an event around the corner. They were accommodating to our large group of around 30 people and let us pre-order food a few days in advance.

Estaba esperando algo de comida de calidad y una bebidaEn un pub que tenía un gran ambiente. Me encantó el menú y cuando la comida llegó a la mesa, me di cuenta de que no era lo que pedí. Traté de explicarle al camarero que debió haber continuado durante unos minutos, sin embargo, él solo discutió conmigo que en realidad había ordenado lo que él pensaba que estaba en el plato. Para tratar de obtener lo que realmente ordené, pregunté si podía obtenerlo de manera lateral. . . No podíamos pasar por alto cómo tenía razón y yo estaba equivocado. La comida era buena, aunque hubiera sido buena si hubiera comido lo que esperaba. Como estaba cenando solo, me hizo sentir incómodo, lo que no hizo que la experiencia fuera la mejor.

Organizamos una fiesta de cumpleaños en The Fox y contratamos la habitación privada y la terraza de arriba y fue una noche fantástica. Tiffany la gerente y su personal fueron tan serviciales y atentos que no podemos agradecerles lo suficiente por ayudarnos a organizar una fiesta increíble. The Fox es una verdadera joya, si buscas un espacio encantador con un personal excelente para organizar tu fiesta, ¡no busques más!

Después de pedir una cerveza Modelo, que es difícil de encontrar en Londres pero que vale la pena, decidí pedir algo de comida ligera para ayudarme.Me reí como una colegiala en la descripción del menú "Nuggets de pechuga" elegí algunas salsas para acompañar y agregué las croquetas de pollo con salsa de tomate de piña. Fue impresionante, las pepitas eran trozos de carne de pechuga, bellamente recubiertos, no grasos y las salsas para morirse. Los holandeses habrían estado orgullosos de las croquetas. . . La salsa de tomate de piña bellamente aromatizada es una revaluación.¡Ya estoy deseando que llegue mi próxima visita!

Una visita de regreso en un ajetreado viernes a la hora del almuerzo que demostró lo popular que se ha convertido este lugar. Hay un ambiente muy agradable y, a pesar de estar ocupado, pedimos nuestra comida y bebidas y comimos arriba. Nos dijeron sobre el nuevo menú y probamos varias opciones como nuestro grupo de cuatro. La comida estaba caliente, sabrosa y bien presentada. Todo el personal era amable y no tuvimos problemas.El pub tiene una bonita área al aire libre justo al lado del área de comedor del primer piso y los baños están en el sótano y están limpios y ordenados. Sin duda volveremos y animaremos a nuestros amigos a que también lo hagan.

Had a work lunch here with my colleagues and the menu had zero indication of what is vegan, only vegetarian dishes, and the only main course that's vegetarian is a feta cheese salad. None of the other sides or starters are labelled vegan either, overall a very disappointing and frustrating experience. If you like having chickens then I suppose the menu would be good for you. I had to leave the pub and get lunch on my own whilst my colleagues ate.

We rented out the top floor of The Fox for our engagement drinks for ~ 50 people. The private bar + bartender meant that everyone didn't have to go downstairs to get drinks. The staff were incredibly helpful both on the night and whilst we were arranging the evening. Everyone loved the fried chicken sharing platters and craft beers on offer. The room was decorated with candles and fairy lights and looked smashing. The outdoor terrace attached to the room was great to have too. Thanks to the team for a great night.

I reckon this place is great for the city crowd after a few pints then order food, the chewy (probably cooked from frozen) potato tots left an overall bad feeling in the mouth, and the chicken nuggets...were dry as hell, and please, if you’re offering a roasted garlic dip for the nuggets and other offerings, put some roasted garlic in it, not garlic powder, that’s a terrible cheat!

Bueno, fue un poco extraño. Encontré esto tal como apareció en mi aplicación Tastecard así que seguí. Me dieron la autorización para usar la tarjeta y me sentaron atrás. Fue bastante tranquilo. Las cervezas parecían interesantes, pero yo estaba allí para comer. Yo era la única persona comiendo. Seleccioné el champiñón y la tarta de espárragos silvestres. Además de un pastel de queso y helado. Completamente accidental, ¡toda la comida era beige! Podría haberlo hecho con algunas verduras verdes si hubiera sabido que venía sin ellas. El pastel era sabroso y el puré era bastante denso con queso, creo. El pastel de queso estaba tibio. El helado de vainilla. El personal del bar era alegre, pero el hombre cocinar la comida un poco miserable. Mi suposición es que tienen noches más ocupadas con la mayoría bebedores. Deletrearon el postre equivocado en el menú. Lo suficientemente agradable! No tanto de experiencia gastrointestinal.

Me dijo que yo no era feliz y me dijeron por una mujer díscolo con teñidos de rojo pelo, que "no es el fin del mundo". Me dijo que no me gustó su actitud y aunque llegamos al pub bastante a menudo ya que nuestra oficina estaba al otro lado de la calle dijo que no volveremos.

I went to the Fox very recently for a Christmas party, we hired out the top floor for the night and had a sit down three course meal and I wasn't very impressed, but lets start with the positives:The pub itself is nice, the atmosphere was fine and I was happy with the drinks on offer. The staff were polite and friendly.Now on to the less positive side of things:When you go to a party with a large group you expect the food to not be anything amazing as the kitchen have to cope with catering for a large number of people, however it really was pretty bad! Lets be clear, I didn't complain (and I don't think anyone else did either) and I ate it, it was certainly edible, but it was far from great. I had pate as a starter, the pate itself was nice, it came with two pieces of toast that had been so lightly toasted that they just appeared hard (although they weren't stale) and it came with a pot of tomato ketchup, which i thought was very odd and unnecessary. I felt worse for the people that ordered fishcakes for their starter though, the first few people to be served got actual fishcakes but the rest got what looked like a pasty style slice with fish in, which didn't look too appetising, I also didn't hear any kind of explanation or apology when it was brought out (the person sat next to me ended up with a slice). When the main came out, it didn't get much better. I ordered Salmon fillet which was fine in itself, but it came with extremely salty mash, under cooked new potatoes and over cooked green beans. Dessert was the best course of the lot, i ordered the chocolate brownie which tasted good although it was served on its own and was pretty dry without the addition of cream or ice cream.Unfortunately, the food wasn't the only issue on the night. The room was extremely well lit with two large chandliers, each containing 6 bright bulbs, once we had all eaten we thought it would be nice to dim the lighting a little as it was quite bright and not right for dancing, we went to use the dimmer on the wall only to find that it didn't dim and both chandeliers were on the same switch, which meant we had to have the lights all on or off. The staff did try and help by suggesting we light candles but there were only 4 small candles available which wasn't really enough.My final issue was with the music, and again, we didn't complain at the time (and possibly should have done) but they provided a large speaker for us to connect an iPhone to, the speaker was loud and decent quality but there was a problem with either the connection or the cable as the volume kept fluctuating and the sound was crackly. Maybe we should've raised that at the time but if it was obvious to us, you'd hope the staff might've picked up on it and tried to deal with it for us.All in all, I couldn't recommend the venue for a party, but I would go back to the main bar with friends for a drink if I was in the area.

Friday pub lunch? Why not the Fox? I’ll tell you shall I…Seated in Miss Havisham’s bedroom under the name ‘Yasmin’, our pre order of chicken curry, two beef burgers and mushroom pie arrived unpunctually in a beeping dumbwaiter.Cold curry is never nice especially when accompanied by bread you can snap in half and dry rice. The waitress kindly swapped the curry for a warmer version of the yellow slurry-curry. Meanwhile my two hungry colleagues realised that both their abysmal beef burgers tasted stale. I quote ‘It taste like someone’s armpit.’I ate my Pie ‘n’ smash and watched as the burgers were swapped for chicken goujons and haloumi. Arriving promptly this time by the apologetic waitress things were looking up!This was until I shamefully sampled the deep fried Halloumi and found a spikey grey pube. Yes, we laughed, yes we felt sick and yes our meal was now on the house!To end this delightful review, I would just like to add that we found another hair on the chicken goujon. To Fox or not to Fox is no more a question on these lips, there is however the lingering taste of pube and it isn’t from last night’s antics.Many thanks

Group of 6, lunchtime. Pre-booked. One of three tables occupied in the room over the bar. Left after 100 minutes having had the bill almost reduced by half.Pros:* The building has a degree of old world charm* The humous appeared to be home madeCons:* The 'pub' did not have any bitter on tap as it had 'only just arrived'.* The 'pub' did not have any bottled bitter* Cider and lager were offered on tap. The cider was undrinkable. The lager was vile.* The waiting staff took a long time to take our order.* The starters were alright, but took a long time to arrive, especially given that they only needed plating.* We had to chase our main courses. The chef / owner blamed the number of diners. We could only see three tables upstairs. Downstairs looked quiet. Absolutely absurd.* We ordered four steaks. One did not arrive until everyone else had finished eating.* The steaks were well-hung.* We ordered two rare, two blue. They were all medium. The first three to arrive were cold.* The side portion of chips were minute, and possibly cooked from frozen.* The veggie main was a small bowl of salad, more like a side salad, and served with what appeared to be a third of a piece of pitta.* The spaghetti was unseasoned, and was a small, starter-sized portion.My third visit, it's been getting worse. I would not go back unless there is a new manager, a new, competent chef and waiting service with a pulse.The chef / manager took the price of the steaks off the menu. It was still over-priced.

Ive eaten in The Fox previously, and was really disappointed at both the poor service and food at lunchtime today.We were told there was no beer on tap. The cider and lager that were served were off and we had to send them back.We waited over an hour for our main course, our steaks were not cooked as we had requested, they were cold. One steak arrived after the rest of us had finished.When we complained about waiting for an hour, we were told that the dining room was exceptionally busy. We were one of only three tables eating in there - it was very quiet for a lunchtime eatery in London.Taking the steaks off our food bill was a good gesture that was appreciated, but wont be eating here again unfortunately.

Lovely Victorian pub with rustic tables and chairs. The atmosphere for midweek was lively with a mix of young and old and thankfully not just trendy hipsters but the usual local after-work crowd rather than tourists. The restaurant part is upstairs, much calmer with excellent quality gastro pub grub with everything looking and tasting home-made with love. Great friendly service and every dish that came out would have cos another £5-10 more in a slightly fancier setting so take advantage while it lasts!

Been going to the Fox of a lunchtime for several years now, but having not been for a while I thought I would pop in with a couple of colleagues for a quick lunch. What’s gone wrong with this place? The staff were extremely lethargic and unhelpful to the extent of being downright rude.It wasn’t busy, but the service was awful. As we didn't have a lot of time, we reluctantly chose some food that was displayed on the bar. We thought it was for display purposes, but that's what they gave us. No offer to warm it up and we had to ask for knives and forks. It was probably the worst pub food ever.The management need to get to grips with this place quickly, because it won’t survive otherwise as there are much better places nearby.

Five of us visited as local to our office. We had booked a table, but the place was not too busy so may not be a necessity.We were shown upstairs which as per previous reviews, is quite rustic in décor but with a reasonable amount of charm. The menu reads well and has a good choice across meat, fish and vegetarian options.Across our group we ordered cottage pie, salmon and the burger. Reasonable portions, food was hot and tasty. Did not really pay too much attention to the bar offering as I noticed draught Peroni on the way in and had that. Service was prompt, polite and for us just right.There are so many places in London to eat that it may be a long time before I revisited. That is not a put-down on this place in any way shape or form. If I was a creature of habit I would make it my work local.

I rarely write a negative review preferring instead to spare blushes but, in this case, I think it necessary to warn potential customers. Let's start with the good points - the waiter did his best to be helpful and even found some fresh mint tea for us at the end of the meal as well as a dairy free dessert for one of our party - but only after admitting there wasn't much in the larder!How can a pub/restaurant be out of two main dishes and one starter by 7.15 p.m. on a Thursday evening?Burger was OK (ish) but fish cakes simply reheated with no energy, chips undercooked and the rice pudding was a glutinous mass which belonged in a horror movie.Bottle of Rioja Crianza was decent enough but so it should be at £27.Cavernous upstairs room in sever want of decoration dominated by very noisy birthday party.Oh dear, just one of those evenings - £105 for 4 people.

Lunched here today with no.1 son Tom. Who was looking very smart.Deliberately chose the Fox as Gaucho's steaks are so over-priced and under-tasty these days as to beggar belief.We both had decent whitebait starter. £4Tom then went bone-in rib eye which was very large and cooked to a perfect medium-rare (as requested). He enjoyed it which was my primary objective.My bacon hash with fried eggs looked better than it tasted. But there is a new menu due mid-Feb so will resist further critcism until we have tried the new card.The beer list is good (but still could do better - holding Duvel and Chimay for example has a minimal funding cost) and wines from £16 to £60 per bottle are roughly twice the Waitrose cost.Which is far from unreasonable. The coffee, in particular the tell-tale double espresso needs improvement though as it is a bit too grainy for me right now. Though not expensive.But this venue - for me - is almost perfect. And you do get a choice between privacy - upstairs dining room - and to be "in the round" downstairs at the island bar.Recommended.For the overall offering rather than any one item taken in isolation.

About 20 of us took the upstairs room for a colleague's leaving dinner. The food was really very good, I thoroughly enjoyed the ham hock starter, as well as the whitebait I tasted from others. The fish cakes with poached egg to follow were excellent, as was the piece of the spare rib eye we shared. Cheese was pungent and gooey, just as I like, and the pint of bitter to start was a treat. My only gripe, most of the wines I wanted were out of stock, mainly poorer quality (admittedly cheaper) being all that was on offer.

Unusual position for a non-city type, but worth the trip ( 10 miles ) for supper.Great bar staff in the traditional and airy pub on the ground floor. The dining room on the first floor is spacious and comfortable and stylishly decorated. The food was well presented, possibly a little too much on the plate in order to please I suspect, and fresh every day I was assured. Excellent liver to start and a brilliant Rib Eye Steak to follow. Puddings light. Wine list modestly priced with a few special selections on offer. Service excellent and attentive.

Time Out had a special offer for Sunday roast - £29.50 for 2 people plus dessert and wine.We both had the roast chicken. The chicken was lukewarm and flavourless but the roast veggies were good -there just wasn't enough of them! We both wanted apple crumble for dessert but the only choices were brie and oatcakes and chocolate brownie as the last apple crumble had already been sold which was annoying. We had 1 brie and biscuits and 1 chocolate brownie. The brownie was hot on the outside and not the inside and there was a tiny drop of cream on it. The brie and biscuits were ok but perhaps more choices of cheese would be good.Overall the pub was nice inside but the food wasn't memorable or tasty. Won't give it another go unfortunately.

I visited the Fox for lunch with some friends last month and was very impressed. The place itself is very un-assuming (but its very warm and homely) and the menu is simple . We shared a started of scallops and each had a different main. Mine was the Sunday Roast and I chose the pork belly (they also had beef). It was actually the best Sunday roast I have had in years. Absolutely amazing - served with all the trimmings including Yorkshire pudding and crackling. The other meals also looked good and the desert we shared was gone in a flash! The drinks and service were good, as you would expect but the food is the winning element at the Fox.

Service can be a bit slow at times. Unfortunately, food options are pretty minimal which is a shame as there aren't many places to eat around here in the evening, and this was a main reason for our moving on rather than lingering longer.

Quaint upstairs area with small fireplace on cold day. Filled up late with regulars. My colleague and I enjoyed the nice selections, he had steak, I had the lamb on broad beans (photo). I ordered the merangue for dessert, a bit stifff but with nice sauce. Sure beats tired old pub grub. Lots of great alternatives in the Shoreditch area and particularly Paul Street. This one is a very good selection.

Went to The Fox last night with three friends for dinner in the restaurant upstairs. The menu looked great with 3-5 choices each for appetizers, entrees and desserts but our waiter informed us some of the entrees were almost sold out. We had the steak, pork burger, duck confit, and braised beef shin and all three of the starters. The food was quite good; I would definitely recommend the sprouting broccoli app, which came with an egg on top that was surprisingly delicious with the veg. Also, my beef shin was so tender and juicy. I tried the pork burger as well and while it's misnamed (no bun to be seen; really should have been called a pork patty) there were some great tangy flavors. We ordered all four desserts and my favorite was the grapefruit granita, which was extremely refreshing. The treacle tart was a table favorite as well.My only complaint is it took a while for each course to get to us. Between ordering our food and getting the appetizers we waited a good 15 min at least. Maybe it was because there was a large party downstairs. That said, the server was super-friendly, so I can't really fault the service that much.

This is a lovely little pub with a very lovely upstairs dining room. I had lunch here for the first time last week and was very impressed. The menu is fairly limited, but I'd rather a small menu where the food is cooked well then an extensive one where it's all pretty average. And the food turned out to be very good indeed. I had the rib steak which was simply delicious; cooked perfectly and the beef was very good quality. My friends were very pleased with their dishes too. Our only complaint was that the service was quite slow - we only had an hour for lunch so it was a bit of a rush by the time the food arrived. But it was certainly worth the wait.

Une tres agreable decouverte: au rez-de chaussee, l'adresse a tout d'un pub traditionnel, tres anime et dont le public nombreux n'hesite pas a se repandre sur la rue pour boire sa pinte d'ale... Mais sitot franchi l'escalier menant au restaurant, l'ambiance devient feutree, voire romantique avec sa grande cheminee et les candelabres sur les tables. La nourriture est sans conteste un cran au-dessus du traditionnel pub-food: pas de fish and chips ou de bangers and mash ici, meme si les plats ne sont pas sophistiques, ils se veulent de qualite.

The Fox calls itself "perfectly placed between the bustle of the City and the buzz and energy of Shoreditch and Hoxton" and that was certainly true when I went there for lunch with a mix of city and the more arty coming together. The food for me was the star of the show. I had lamb, nicely grilled with a Spanish style veg and garlic stew on the side. Colleagues had various soups and salads and found them all excellent. The service was good - we'd asked for a quiet table and got an email to confirm they could. A good place with a bit of charm but close enough to the City for a walk up for lunch - but beware if you don't like garlic.

Tienda de puré y cocineros pastel es uno de los pocos comercios tradicionales tarta restante en Londres. Si no has probado Tarta y puré, deberías, la tarta aquí son encantadores con una Misa del gallo carne completando un pastel húmedo con puré de patata y repostería un licor verde perejil. Un poco de pimienta y vinagre balsámico dash. Hmmmmm

Great pub, sexist staff. One of the best places in London for live music however impossible to get a drink without being subject to a deluge of misogynistic comments by male bar staff. Made me incredibly uncomfortable and even lightly hit me on my head when I refused to high five him. Then continued to make inappropriate “69” jokes, even commenting on my dietary requirements as “does your diet not contain men”. Women should be able to buy a drink without being subject to this uncalled for behaviour. Grow up and have some respect, it’s 2023.

Friends were visiting from America and wanted a real London experience. The building was impressive and seating quaint and charming. There was no sense of trying to anything but a dispensary of good wholesome and filling food. We all had double pie and mash with ‘liquor’ and to a man were mightily impressed and set up for the day. It’s sad that so many of these traditional eateries have been lost. My friends say it was a highlight of their trip as it wasn’t tainted by the snobbish experiences we see in so many other restaurants. The staff were traditionally English and salts of the earth. We will visit again.

Group of us picked this place just for the outside area due to current restrictions and had no idea of the place what to expect. What a pleasant surprise!!The outdoor area is mostly covered so remains warm and comfortable, has multiple TVs so is great for sport which was one of the reasons for the booking. Staff were pleasant, friendly and very quick with delivery with (the current enforced) table service/app ordering. But the highlight and biggest surprise was the food, just expecting a typical pub menu (as mentioned hadn’t looked or knew what to expect) but was surprised to see it was a Thai inspired menu, varied dishes, full of flavour a real nice kick. 4 of us each had different meal, and each one of us absolutely loved what we ate, one said the wings were the best he’s ever had anywhere. Would 100% recommend this place and if in this area again will return!
