The Fox and Hounds in West Berkshire

Another lovely lunch at the Fox and Hounds. A warm welcome as always for a catch up lunch. Food great and fish was beautiful too! See you again soon Thank you Team Fox

Great night at the fox and hounds this evening fantastic food. Fantastic food and drink. We will be back soon!!!

Lovely friendly pub, great atmosphere. Service was good, food great! Will come again soon.

The photos did not do this place justice. It was excellent service by Maddie and the Sunday roast was delicious.Ii had the pork with crackling and my wife and son went for the chicken. If you are really hungry go for the trio!

Emily our waitress was attentive, helpful and friendly thankyou.

Excellent Xmas roast dinner for 15 of us. Fast service on a busy day. Laura our server was outstanding!!

Visit often, had the best roast today. Pipping hot and plenty on the plate. Thank you Laura for looking after us.

Food was excellent. Premises were spotless. Service was fantastic, Emily is a credit to the company.

Excellent food, lovely pub, Laura is brilliant waitress

The place is very nice and feels spacious. Very good staff and the food was really tasty.

Great service and food, Laura was our waitress and was great, very attentive and friendly. The food was great for Sunday roast, would reccomend.

Absolutely lovely pub/ restaurant. A warm welcome and shown to a table out of the way, which was fine. We were served by the lovely Laura. Quick service with a smile. Food was amazing. Would recommend,

Came here for a family meal on a Saturday evening. We all commented on how beautiful the Christmas decorations were, really lovely cosy traditional upper class gastro- pub. Our waitress Maddie was absolutely first class, she had us smiling and laughing and we had the dishes she recommended and were really happy. Food was next level, pie of the day was the best pie I had had at a pub. Will definitely be back in new year. Thanks F&H! Sam

Lovely meal here this evening. The toffee apple crumble was delicious! Excellent service by Georgina.

Lovely experience. Service was top notch (from Maddie). Food was good, only comment was that the batter and curry sauce needed a bit of flavour. Dessert menu also a highlight.

First time I’ve been and it was a great experience. Maddie, our waitress was so lovely and helpful. She was chatty and friendly and recommended the doughnuts which were delicious. Thank you Maddie, you will be another reason I come back.

Maddie and her colleagues looked after us well and we had a nice lunchtime meal with drinks. It’s a nice pub easily accessible from Theale

Excellent meal as always, our steaks were perfect. All the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Chris & Sean have made it look amazing for Christmas the atmosphere is lovely. Thanks Maddie for looking after us and the boys 🐾

Another wonderful evening at the Fox and Hounds, Theale. The food and drinks were very tasty, food piping hot and drinks lovely and cold. We were served by Maddie who really looked after us and welcomed us back. She also looked after my pooch Cotton and made a real fuss of her. A great evening, thank you x

Food was excellent. Maddie looked after our party of 16 very well and made sure we had everything we needed

I wish I had taken pics because it looked great. Some people might think it a bit expensive but I think it's basically in line with other similar places so, personally, I'm not complaining. The best thing of course was the food. I had humble sausage and mash but it was as good as it gets for sausage and mash and no complaints whatsoever. I would gladly have it again if we are in the area. (We aren't too close by, just meeting some friends and their food was excellent too). Atmosphere was lovely. We didn't notice that a few hours had passed but probably as much to do with the company as well as the pub. All in all I would genuinely recommend it. Lovely place. (Also just be aware the cost was inclusive of a shared starter and shared dessert with my wife on top of a main each and drinks).

Lovely venue, good food and great service from Laura

Absolutely amazing!! The team is always so accommodating and friendly!! The food is delicious!! And to top it all off Emily was a fabulous waitress!!

Laura was really attentive and helpful. We had a lovely meal with great service

Emily made a simple meal into a dining experience! Highly recommend!

Had a lovely meal at the Fox & Hounds yesterday. Best pub meal/experience in a long while. Staff were superb, and having a dog was not an issue, he also got tonnes of attention & treats. we will definitely be back. Thank you

Very lovely lunch in a very lovely pub.

Fantastic service from Emily and wonderful food celebrating my husbands birthday! Thank you!

food was delicious and came very quickly and laura was a lovely server

Great atmosphere, and the food for Sunday lunch was fantastic both in terms of quality and quantity. Our waitress, Emily, was the cherry on top of the visit and dealt with us with an abundance of humour. If absolutely recommend coming here, whatever the occasion!

Laura was great today and managed our large table brilliantly

Had a lovely meal here! Emily was amazing and the biscoff doughnuts were delicious

We were both really ready for some lunch and tucked in to our meal which was tasty ! A bit disappointed with the appearance of the chips that we ordered as a side but we were too full to eat them all anyway.

The atmosphere was lovely and I was greeted as I walked in with a smile. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable (especially about gluten free food). The food was delicious and hot and the portion sizes were good. My friend and I were really impressed and would definitely go for dinner again. Thank you!

Part of a large party, food was delivered promptly piping hot. Staff very helpful, great experience would come again.

Huge thank you to Emily!! Fantastic service, great humour and made a good meal great. Good location and atmosphere.

Great service from Emily and delicious food. Lovely evening.

Booked online, very easy... Food & service was excellent... Chris & his staff were Brilliant 👏 Would definitely go again... Highly recommend 👌

Had a very nice meal with friends and also participated in the quiz which was fun. The meal itself was a very nice main course and a dessert. A very enjoyable evening

Really lovely lunch, food was delicious and good value. Great service from Maddie - she was knowledgeable, friendly and lovely to chat to. She's a credit to the team there.

Great food, great service, lovely local vibes

Nice food, service, beer and cider, toilets and atmosphere. What more can you ask for! I was a bit greedy and couldn't finish the ciabatta bread I'd ordered as a side to accompany fish and chips, so I asked for a doggy bag to take it home. They wrapped it up nicely in foil, so I was able to finish and enjoy it later. PS plus it's 25% off food on Wednesday with the Butcombe loyalty card. Great stuff!

Our first visit to this pub, chosen for its convenient location for a meet up. We were not disappointed and will now meet up every time here :-)

Excellent food and service as usual. Maddie and Chris were great, going above and beyond to make our visit special. Lovely pub that offers live music too!

Food and service was incredible. Our server Maddie was so attentive and really looked after our guest with allergies

Came here for Sunday lunch (5 of us). One of us has a dairy allergy and our waitress Maddie went above and beyond, even highlighting the dairy free desserts before handing us the dessert menu! She was so considerate and caring with little things like that without us even asking, and nothing ever felt like too much effort for her, making it just such a pleasant dining experience for us all. We had all travelled from different places for over an hour to get to the Fox and Hounds, and having Maddie as our waiter on top of the insanely good food was well worth it. We’ll be coming back for sure! 🫶🏽

Good food with great service. Will visit again.

Beautiful place, the food was amazing and the staff are lovely. Will definitely be back!

My sister and I both have birthdays this week so we booked lunch for four as a double celebration. Food was good, but we were unable to sample pudding as too full from generous portions. Fish and chips particularly delicious. Service very friendly.

Really enjoyed the whole evening! Good food and staff very friendly and helpful

Everything was great, shame they had run out of milk for latte coffees at the end.

I came here with my family for Sunday dinner and myself and brother both have multiple allergies. Emily was our server who treated us so well, she made sure all our food was okay and was polite throughout our meal. She really improved our time at Fox and Hounds. The food was so lovely and catered to our allergies without a fuss, and the atmosphere was very family friendly. Definitely recommend and will be back again.

Came for a meal with a friend. Jade served us who was really polite and friendly making the experience even better. Definitely will come back as Jade’s service was really good.

What a lovely pub. Jade our server was amazing. Friendly quick service. Very much looking forward to coming back.

The food was quite honestly the best I have had in a Gastro-type pub for many years. Prices we reasonable, however given the quality of the food in retrospect it was excellent value. Our server, Emily, was an absolute delight to deal with. Emily was extremely attentive, clear, and articulate, warm and humorous. We started with: White bait and squid Scotch eggs (not your usual scotch egg, amazingly tasty) Our mains: Fishcakes Steak – ordered medium – delivered the perfect medium. We went Monday night, which was nice and quiet, not empty though, still a great atmos. Highly recommended.

Another great meal with the family for my Mum's birthday. Highly recommended.

Overall the food was very good but let down by incredibly slow service - 55 minutes for a main course - sadly this means it was our first and probably our only visit as things like that put off your customers

Had a really lovely lunch at The Fox and Hounds today. The food was delicious and hot and the pub was warm and inviting. From the sage and onion scotch egg, sausage and mash, bubble ‘n squeak with eggs and ham through to the mouthwatering sticky date pudding, we couldn’t fault it. There is always a friendly atmosphere in the pub and I feel very lucky to have this gem on my doorstep. Thanks Chris

Reasonable food and price. Service could have been faster.

Perfect evening, good food and great service

A chance to meet up with good friends. Great food, atmosphere and perfect service from Jade. Very friendly and helpful. We will return.

Beautiful setting in beautiful Berkshire, great food and amazing staff, Jade was brilliant and very friendly.

Delicious food, excellent service, lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Great food,staff very friendly and helpful

Great food at the Fox and Hounds and amazing service from Maddie

Been here twice now the food is amazing .the staff are very friendly and make you fill very welcome.the roast dinner was amazing

Maddie was a great waitress and the food was lovely.

Nice little pub with decent selection of beers. Ideal for a pint and some food which is good in quality and price!

They made it clear on a standard menu what the gluten free options were, making it a hassle free order process. We all enjoyed our food including the gluten free option. The staff were attentive and polite, welcoming us with a smile. Would recommend 😊

We had a lovely lunch. We were informed when we arrived that we would be looked after by a trainee. She did brilliantly and she was helped by a very supportive, more experienced member of staff. The menu was varied and much more interesting than standard ‘pub grub’ . One of our party has a gluten and dairy free diet. The serving staff and chef pointed out dishes that would be suitable or that could be adapted to suit her requirements. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious, especially the mini Biscoff doughnuts!! This was our second visit and we will definitely be back.

Nice welcome from friendly people. Food was well cooked and nicely presented. My visit was at lunchtime so the atmosphere was probably a bit more muted than it would be in the evening.

We often meet up with a friend from the south coast at a pub in this area. Met up here last time and enjoyed it so much we decided to come again. We weren't disappointed, and by chance it happened to be a Wednesday so an added bonus was the 25% off. I am sure we will return

Met a couple of friends here for Sunday lunch. The trio of meats was excellent and arrived hot and fresh. My other half is vegan and she said the wellington was far better than other chains' vegan offerings. We had the mini biscoff doughnuts and ice cream for desserts and this was also spot on. The staff were attentive and even pointed out a discount we could apply to our bill saving us £20. The main dining area was clean and tidy, as were the toilets, if a little dated/tired. Would definitely go again if in the area

Nice food, but I felt exposed where our table was, big open space behind me and people rushing past all the time, table needs to be moved. Waitress seemed annoyed we didn't want to pay service charge but we did leave some coins for her on plate.

Another fantastic meal was had. The food is so fresh and appealing and presented beautifully. Tried 4 of the smaller dishes and every one was perfect

Nice looking pub. Big car park and beer garden. Friendly waitress. I prospered the chicken burger and unfortunately it turned my stomach. I bit into the burger which felt soft, rather than crunchy and as I put the burger down the whole thing fell apart and the outer coating slide off the chicken burger. I asked the waitress what kind of chicken it was and she said ‘it’s thigh not breast’ and walked off with a smirk on her face. It would be helpful to mention this on the menu. I wouldn’t have purchased it if I had known and it left me feeling unwell replaying the burger falling apart and the coating sliding off. Honestly the worst chicken burger I’ve ever had. I would go back but would steer clear of it and go for a veggie option.

Great food, great beer and the bar staff are friendly & efficient. It doesn't get much better really!

First visit to the pub to celebrate friends wedding anniversary. Very friendly staff, good service and lovely food.

Fantastic food and possibly the best service I have ever received by the wonderful Maddie - a credit to this establishment. Thank you.

Lovely meal ( 🥧) for a special occasion. Friendly staff. Nice evening all round. Thankyou

The food was delicious. I would highly recommend the camembert sharing platter and scotch eggs.

We booked a table for six. We had a very warm welcome and all of us enjoyed a great dinner. The service was quick and courteous, the main dishes and desserts were all delicious, plentiful and well presented. We will be coming back!

Lovely atmosphere and the food was served very hot and tasted really fresh. The baked camembert was particularly tasty and served with herby slices of bread, delicious. Unfortunately the service was a little slow and we were left waiting inbetween courses for a long time, having to call the waitress over a couple of times to ask for service.

Lovely food, good service. Shame the pies ran out so early as we were in at 7pm… Only negative was the parking, running club in situ and some very dodgy parking. Would put us off coming again.

Lovely table and atmosphere. Delicious food with a difference. Good Service.

Jade was amazing , so honest and helpful literally made our nights , could not compliment her on her hospitality, because of her its one of the reasons we will be coming back

Good food, service and atmosphere making for a great Sunday Lunch 😊.

The fox and hounds is a mixture of class and a rustic homely feel, with the cheerful and helpful staff and great food and drinks there is no reason to not enjoy yourself

We went for my granddaughter a birthday 9 for Sunday lunch excellent food & service! Maddie was fabulous thank you

We stopped here for a lunch on a journey. The food was excellent. The staff were helpful and friendly. We would definitely go back when in the area. Highly recommend. Great pub with a lovely ambiance and very welcoming. Toilets were immaculate.

Another amazing meal at Fox and Hounds. Served by Jade who was very friendly and welcoming - as usual. Would highly recommend 👍

Great food and amazing service from Jade.

Excellent food. Lovely service from Chris and our dog was able to enjoy our dining experience.

Great little country pub - the way they should be but so rarely are - food great and service first rate. Can I recommend Jade, who directed us to another venue when we turned up on the first night and served us when we booked the following evening. Bravo Jade and thank you.

Jade was impeccable! Clearly best member of the team

Great country pub, pie of the week was a highlight.

Evening meal for 2 - food is great here, one of the best in the area.

David, the head chef who was standing in for the Manager, greeted us and made us feel so welcome. The beer is the best and the food quite delicious. We shall certainly join the club and be back very soon. thank you for a memorable Sunday Lunch!

Amazing food and maddie did an unreal job. I wish more waitresses were like her!

Thoroughly enjoyed the food at Fox and Hounds in Theale. The pie was the best I’ve ever had.
