Took my Mum & Dad here for dinner at lunch - food was perfect & my Dad said it was the best Steak & Ale pie he had ever had which is pretty much all he has every time we go out for lunch so he’s had a few! Service was really friendly & efficient & everyone enjoyed their food.

Popped in yesterday for lunch & received an extremely warm welcome from the attentive staff. We ordered a homemade pie each. My husband, as always, was rather sceptical about the pie, but we were both pleasantly surprised by the contents. I have never had a pie with so much meat, I actually ended up taking leftovers home for our dog! It was absolutely delicious & worth every penny. Pay them a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

We a wonderful birthday celebration at the Fox and Hounds. We had the covered patio area to ourselves for the day which worked perfectly and looked beautiful. Sarah was really fantastic at getting everything organised and always made herself available for any questions. The food on the day was excellent, especially for a big group - all freshly cooked, and the service was brilliant too, everyone really looked after us. We had some of the Wing and Waffles in the evening too which also went down well. Really very happy with everything - thank you to everyone for helping make the day special.

My niece chose this restaurant based on the reviews here and we were not disappointed. The restaurant itself is small but very cosy and welcoming. The food was exceptional (we had the chicken skewer, ribs, fish and chips and chicken and chorizo arrabbiata all of which were flavourful and generous portions) Jodie, our server, was so helpful and very intuitive, she went out of her way to help my mum with her choice of meal and made her feel as though nothing was too much trouble. I would not hesitate in recommending the Fox and Hounds.

Beautiful quirky pub with huge portion sizes. I would like to see more added flavours to the burgers for example peanut butter, mac and cheese just some choice of toppings to give it more flavour. Wife's Fries were undercooked but we didn't complain as staff were busy. Good pricing, friendly atmosphere with staff that clearly care about the pub/restaurant. I'm taking a guess that it's a family run pub which is beautiful rather than the same old boring chains we see everywhere. Next time I'm going for a steak and ale pie which sounded lush!

The Fox and Hounds is a nice spot to come for a meal - in our case, a Sunday Lunch, with friendly attentive staff and a really nice ambience. The food menu is quite varied, but I would recommend you stick to the Sunday lunch or traditional pub favourites. "Trio of Salmon Gravadlax with melon and raspberry Coulis" was riffing on the Italian idea of canteloupe melon and prosciutto: it looked amazing but just didn't work as a flavour combination and the raspberry coulis made it too sweet. My mum's Sunday lunch was very good; my sea bass was a bit dry. The coffee is terrible, tastes like posh instant - even my mum found it undrinkable. I can still recommend it as a Sunday lunch spot but don't be too adventurous with what you are ordering and avoid the coffee.

Gorgeous pub that served pull pump bitter and cider.We arrived and was greeted by a young lady that helped with our bags to a courtyard room. The room was great and had a shower with underfloor heating.They arranged a taxi as we went to Chelmsford Races which cost £15 and was 6mins away. Lovely breakfast and we will be back.
