Happy with the food, but there was long delay for the orders to come through even drinks.. At first it took such a long time for the waiter to attend.

Went without booking a table for a birthday meal on a Thursday lunch time. During half term so there were a few tables but overall quiet. Staff were friendly and welcoming. I am lactose intolerant and Mums gluten free so the glass onion app makes viewing allergen info super easy. Was chuffed the fish and chips is dairy free! They’d run out of the vegan crumble but offered to make us a quick one but didn’t want to jeopardise the quality which was sweet of them to offer. Food was delicious, generous portions and arrived quickly and hot. Will definitely be back to try the crumble!

Definitely not as I remember it! This was always the go to pub for my family for decades. My chicken was tough to cut and not very warm. My Creme brulee arrived very very cold and in a broken dish. I'm not even going to mention the cost. This was our anniversary dinner and we'd hoped for better. We went to an M&S cafe the following day and their dinner looked good and I'll bet it didn't cost half as much.

After a lovely walk over Farthing Downs, Mum and I stopped off at The Fox for a small bite and a drink. A warm welcome from Sam behind the bar. Bina who was serving in the restaurant, was warm, friendly and approachable. Mum wanted something off the lunch menu, it was just gone 5pm. After a quick check with the chef, Mum got her fish finger ciabatta sandwich. Huge portion and very tasty too. I had the chicken liver Pâté, also delicious. Thank you Bina & Sam for a lovely afternoon/evening! We’ll be back!

Katie gave us a warm welcome, was witty and attentive throughout our visit making it a very enjoyable experience. The menu was varied and the food was hot and high quality. Katie’s advice on menu choice was also appreciated. The only slight negative was that it got cold towards the end of our visit, probably caused by being seated near the fire exit (we’d probably ask for a different table when booking in future) but couldn’t fault anything else.

After a dissapointing Xmas experience about 16yrs ago we thought we would give The Fox Pub another try and what a pleasant surprise it was. Since taking over Mitchells & Butler have certainly improved our local pub with comfortable seating and lovely food at reasonable prices served by our delightful waitress. Well done to all concerned, we will definitely be returning soon.

Sadly, I have had no response to the complaint I lodged online 7th March 2024, so need to air it here. The veg was served lukewarm on cold plates, main part of meal was hot so we put up with it, then noticed that my wifes sauce was actually cold! But as she was not planning to eat it and we just wanted a quiet meal, we pointed it out but did not need replacements. Then we realised that the advertised bottle of Wolfblass Chardonnay 13% was in fact only 10.5% - surely against trading standards. Again we pointed it out but the staff were a little non plussed, ot understanding the ABV % meant. The staff and atmosphere were nice, but the lack of response to our courteous online complaint is very disappointing. We will not be back there.

it took absolutely ages to have lunch. We got there at noon for a bite to eat as we had to be home for an appointment at 2pm. not really all that happy about how long it took. Also, when i went to pay there was no option to leave a tip, so i could only leave what I had in my pocket, which was woefully little.

If you are looking for a great vintage country pub then The Fox is a wonderful place to go. Excellent food, wonderful atmosphere where the friendly helpful staff make you very welcome. Large open log fires, plenty of seating in old beamed barn like rooms. Food and service is excellent. Plenty of parking too. In the warmer weather you can sit outside with plenty of seating and safe places for the children to play. The Fox welcomes dog walkers too where you can relax with a good cold drink after some amazing local walks. The Fox is always on my list of places to eat with friends and family. We are so lucky to have such a fabulous pub so near to us.

The food was awful, one of the worst roasts I have had. I visited as a friend has moved to the area. Roasts were clearly kept warm; everything was lukewarm apart from the stone-cold pile of sprouts. Potatoes were crispy, crackling, burnt and had an acrid taste; cauliflower cheese had no cheese and certainly none of the advertised crumb, fatty pork - I could go on. Staff unattentative. No cutlery, I asked two members of staff 3 times while food sat in front of us. Had to get up and get my own salt and pepper. Waited for gravy - asked 2 people by the time is came the meal was over.
