The Fox and Hounds in Harborough

Family have just had a fantastic Sunday meal. 7 adults, 2 children. The staff were lovely attentive yet unobtrusive. The food was lovely, plentiful and served hot. Good value. The menu was a Sunday lunch /Dinner range. A much larger menu is available through out the week. Thanks to all the staff and Maz.

Never disappoints, always made to feel welcome and never rushed. Food is amazing and portions are very generous. Lovely venue for a family meal out.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. ..we'll be back again!!

Had lunch here, we were a little early but had a good welcome and soon served with coffees. The menu promised good pub grub. The fish dishes were excellent, but my lasagne was dry and very burnt at the edges. Unfortunately, the puddings did not quite hit the spot, my warmed lemon tart was cold and hard, raspberry sorbet was very good. The fruit crumble was more crumble with little fruit. The service was excellent as were the facilities.

We had a really pleasant Saturday lunch as a group of friends. Food was good, staff attentive, and the atmosphere excellent for a get together. Can't wait to visit again.

It was quiet when we were there. Beautiful pub and food was exceptional. Will call again if we are over that side of the shire. Definitely worth a visit!

Good beers, great food, lovely service. A hidden gem. Will definitely visit again.👍🍻🥂

It was Sunday, so I fancied a roast and oh wow! What a fabulous lunch it was. I've got to say it was one of the best pub roasts I've had. Plenty of everything, the beef was cooked to perfection for me and nothing could've been better. We'll done everyone. Will definitely be coming back.

Visited with three mates last Wednesday evening. Very warm welcome at the bar and were told there might be a wait for food. We were seated and our order was taken about 10 minutes later. Two fish and chips, a fish pie and a Chicken and Chorizo Pappardelle which one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a long time. Everyone was very pleased with their meal and impressed with the visit. Highly recommended.

Came across this pub on a journey from Peterborough to Leicester. We were looking for lunch. What a beautiful village pub/restaurant! Lovely welcoming staff and incredible tasty food with generous portions! Couldn’t fault anything lovely 😻

Absolutely brilliant Sunday lunch. Food was lovely and enough to feed an army!

Great place wonderful food and professional friendly service I will definitely go back

We visited for lunch today for the first time at this venue. Lovely refurbishment, great food and drinks wonderful attentive staff who went out of their way to provide Eton mess which was delicious. Plus our dog is welcome which is always a bonus. Will return soon.

Beautiful restaurant rub, spacious with great seating facilities and even better owners/chef! Highly recommended to visit

Excellent Sunday dinner. Great food!

Only went in for a drink, but the food smelt great! Well kept real ale.

Another great Sunday lunch with family. Everyone enjoyed it, the atmosphere was great and very busy, the service was excellent and with a smile 😀

Fantastic food and service. Really appreciated the squeeze in for Sunday dinner, as two of our friends were booked in and they were fully booked but still added me and my partner on. Will definitely be back and recommended to friends and family

Had a lovely Saturday lunch at the Fox & Hounds. Portions are great value for money and wonderful specials. The lady who served us was brilliant and very attentive. Fantastic range of beers and drinks, thank you for a lovely lunch

The best beer and Sunday roast for miles!

Great service & food! We had the best Sunday lunch today! Thank you Mass and the team! P.S the photo does not so it justice!

I'll be back the Sunday lunch is perfect thank you

Friendly atmosphere with good food and drink at a fair price.

Brilliant new order and staff, looking forward to going back

Fantastic refurbishment . Great choice of food and beers . Congratulations to Mass and staff 👏

Friendly and welcoming local. Clearly the heart of the village community. Limited but tasty lunchtime menu.

Popped in a few weeks ago with my partner. They had a lovely selection of fresh baked cakes and brownies. Various drink options and the Staff were more than welcoming and a pleasure to conversate with. They also have outdoor seating.

The coffee was good, breakfast good and friendly staff. Packed a little atmosphere inside as we were the only people seated, but we will definitely visit again and recommend to others.

Perfect for a spot of food and drink while cycling, great staff.

Not open for food today (Sunday)

Stop here for coffee whilst out on my bike. The coffee is lovely and Tracy always serves with a smile 😁

Absolutely lovely Sunday roast, proper home cooked food and very generous. Great place to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Just had a pint and a burger thoroughly enjoyed it, 5 star

Great food, amazing coffee, lovely people ☺️🔆

Late on a Bank Holiday afternoon, running low on food and liquid to complete my bicycle tour, then there it was - an open pub. I was prepared to make do with crisps, but to my delight there was a selection of baked treats on offer. The raspberry and lemon shortbread was delicious and just the boost I needed.

Lovely little country pub. Under new Managment

Lovely little place, very friendly with well priced food and drink. The cheese scone was fantastic!

Under new management. Good beer and good atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. I popped in on a Sunday for a quick coffee and ended up staying for longer than planned. The atmosphere when I walked in was so friendly and welcoming, to myself and the dog and the staff were all lovely. The food looked and smelt delicious, and the cakes were too tempting to resist. Will define returning in the future!

Fantastic little pub! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, new management have done a fab job.

12/3/2022 Re-opened under new management (who previously ran Cafe Ventoux). Run by Jonny and Teresa and a lovely friendly team. A lovely setting and a good place to start or end a country walk. Currently offering coffees, teas, hot chocolate, cakes and a licensed bar but the full kitchen will be open soon. A great place to meet friends. Warm atmosphere, dogs and children welcome.

Lovely experience and exceptionally friendly and welcoming bar staff. Highly recommend. Just waiting for them to have the kitchen delivered to go for a meal which I'm certain will be excellent also after eating at the establishment they had before .

enjoyable meal food excellent staff very helpful and friendly definitely one to remember and revisit again specials board well worth a try

Small portions and too expensive for what they offer. 🤔

Made a sunday visit here for lunch and was pleasently suprised, friendly staff and a very satisfying meal, would definately recommend

Very friendly welcome, good food and beer. Well spaced tables and staff taking great care to comply with covid protocols. We feel very comfortable here.

Good place to go for a decent pub meal. Recommended.

Superb meal lovely atmosphere and staff highly recommended

WeI had a delicious sunday lunch cooked to perfection, beautifully presented ,will definitely be back !!

Small menu but good quality food, will certainly make another visit

Visited on the weekend, lovely friendly atmosphere and the food was amazing. Will definitely be going back again!

Visited the pub this evening. Really enjoyed the meal. Heartily recommend it.

Nice welcome on arrival. Did not feel rushed when ordering food. Attentive staff. Food beautifully presented and very tasty! Will definitely return!

Great food and service....highly recommended

Newly renovated and under new management who took great care of us....great early doors crowd and new chef/menu looked fantastic. Definitely worth a visit.

Cosy village pub serving delicious food with great and attentive staff. I highly recommend!

Now re opened and serving food. It has had a lovely make over, a bit of character now re introduced!

Looks great just waiting for it to re open

Passed the pub today (31st May 2019) now closed with building work in progress. Not sure whether this is being refurbished or being converted into residential accommodation.

Drove out here after seeing the reviews to have lunch and nobody opened up or answering the phone. Looks like was open last night as money and glasses on the bar so obviously not worth a trip out there as they can’t be bothered to open on a Saturday at the time stared ! Disappointing

This place is a lovely place to eat really good food along with good service. I would certainly go there again. Geoff Houghton.

Unfortunately not the same lovely local that I remember growing up. The original features have been removed leaving behind a small bar area with little casual seating. The pub was always warm & inviting but having the character removed has left behind a generic eatery with very little atmosphere or character. Sign of the times maybe. On the positive the food was alright but some of our party were less than impressed.

We visited this pub with friends this week and were, sadly, disappointed with our visit.The food we ordered - fish and chips and pork belly was fine, but sadly some of the choices in the main menu were unavailable and in particular the dessert choices were poor - many of the dishes advertised were no longer available.The worst thing was that there was NO coffee available afterwards and we felt quite short changed by the whole experience.The pub was also very quiet for a Friday which made us feel that locally this pub was not as popular ad maybe it should have been.Our waitress was excellent as clearly embarrassed about the changes on the menu about which she could do nothing

Good service and a great venison Berger

Had pan fried meatballs which were served to perfection. My partner had the salmon fish cakes for starters which were equally as good, shell on muscles, king prawns and smoked salmon in a white wine sauce, crispy pork belly with cabbage and bacon for mains which was out of this world. Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for great food and top service!!

Have had many meals here. Most of them ok to good. But this last time!! Starter was barely warm - I let this pass. I do not like to complain .Ordered steak and kidney pie served with chips and a "medley of fresh vegetables."Serving plate was cold. My medley of fresh vegetables consisted of chips with a couple of sprigs of broccoli on top. Took the lid off my pie and inside the meat was almost cold. This struck me as not only unpleasant but a bit risky. This time I did complain. The young lady apologised and took it away to reheat it. Yes it came back piping hot but the meal was spoiled .Perhaps they were short of staff - it looked as if there was just one (very young) man in the kitchen and two (very young ) girls running everything else between themVery disappointing!

We had a beautifully cooked and presented meal meal last night. The two of us enjoyed three courses each and a bottle of wine for £70 which was a reasonable price considering the high quality food. We loved the seasonal menu, relaxed atmosphere and the wood burning stove gave a homely feel to the dining room. The front of house staff are young, friendly, enthusiastic and efficient. We had heard good things about the place but never been before. Will definitely go again.

Had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch. Food was very nice, the dessert was delicious and of a sensible size. Service was also very good, we were looked after from the moment we arrived till the moment we left.

Stef and his team recently produced a beautiful and tasty outside buffet for our wedding reception. We discussed beforehand a menu tailored to our needs. This was delivered fresh, on time and just as ordered..Furthermore the team were on hand to clear .Very nice food, with a modern twist, and nothing was too much trouble!

I was a little disappointed we had to wait an hour for our food and there was only us and 1 other table of two people the lady who was serving did say after 30 mins there was a mix up how you have a mix up with two tables totalling 5 people we waited another 30 mins and the food we had was very good. The other thing that let us down was we had bottle of prosecco which came with the bucket very nice but we noticed its the same one as you can get in asda which was £6 and we were charged £18 which I know you do have a mark up but not on a bottle you can get from asda. Like i said the food was very good but the waiting time was unacceptable

When calling up to make a reservation, despite being extremely busy they pencilled a table for two in at 7.30 pm. As I arrived I took note of the traditional yet slightly modern interior and warm atmosphere, 'everyone seemed to be having a good time'. The waitress showed us to our table and proceeded to take drink orders before returning to take our food choices. I opted for the sea bass with accompanying sides and my friend went with the steak and chips, both meals where cooked well with appealing presentations. The sea bass had a nice crisp underneath and moist inside, the potato and leek mix looked great but was slightly too dense, however the white sauce too the edge off. We then tried the desserts, I choose the white chocolate brownie and my friend went for the cheesecake, both very well prepared and presented. The brownie cut well and with the meted chocolate overhead tasted even better, the ice-cream allowed instant cooling before taking a bite. Special mention to all the waitresses attitudes and talkative nature, this makes or breaks a good experience, so thank you.

Nice little village pub had a good fun day there will go again

Five of us had a meal here tonight. 4 of the meals were fine but mine was far from good. I had chosen the haddock and chips - the chips were pale, soggy and luke warm and the batter on the fish was soggy too. The chips looked as though they were meant to be ‘twice cooked’ but they hadn’t been cooked the second time. I did tell the waitress but apart from her saying that she would tell the chef I had no apology of any sort. In spite of being local I won’t be eating here again.

Beautiful decor and very friendly atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit

Attentive staff. Despite draft being off, there was offers on selective bottled beers. Food was reasonably priced and very tasty. Will return again.

Wow! Delicious food and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Sister came to stay and we ordered on the phone from the take out menu. We collected the food on time which was delicious.

Great little place with excellent food and beer. Travelling past on the main road we turned off on the off=chance of finding a nice pub. How lucky we were. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They would benefit greatly from a sign on the main road. Recommended.

Awesome village pub with outstanding range of beers and gin. Great atmosphere and fantastic staff.

I’ve been coming here for almost 18 months and have never had a bad meal. The food is fresh and tasty and the menu caters for all. This weeks steak night was two rumps for £16. The steak looked more like a fillet... full of taste and no fat at all. Overall great value and great food, highly recommended!!!

I've been here a few times now and usually it's pretty good. However, last nights meal wasn't up to the pub's usual standard.

Aboloutly brilliant meal . Wednesday night steak night and for £8 the best steak meal I've eaten for ages. The quality and quantity of the meal out does any others i've eaten in recent years and probobly paid double for. I'm a fussy one and hate frozen chips and veg etc. but these beautiful homemade chips were great . We both had a sweet which was really good too. Definatly be back to try some other dishes off the great looking menu. Also the staff were frienly and attentive. Nice one Fox and Hounds

Good country pub. Not too expensive and a good Sunday lunch.

A selection of choices on the menu and fabulous food. I arranged a family birthday lunch here and Emily and her staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Popped in here for an impromptu meal..and couldn't have been made more welcome. It started snowing heavily whilst we were there..and the hosts did everything possible to keep us entertained whilst we waited for a taxi. Fabulous food...fabulous surroundings..fabulous find! Thank you!

I stopped here for lunch on a Thursday, we were the first people in as it had just opened. The young lady that served us was very nice, friendly and helpful. I ordered the fish and chips. It was very nicely presented and the pub itself was quite nice. The food was quite nice, not great but not at all bad either. I should imagine in the evening its a very pleasant and vibrant atmosphere.

Called in for a late Saturday dinner. Small (40 ish) covers pub restaurant. Looked newly refurbished, could perhaps do with some soft furnishings to absorb the slightly noisy group next to us once they had a couple of drinks!

Great food and atmosphere, a proper village pub

Called in on a Thursday night. Lucky to get in as usually fully booked. Food was great, whitebait to start followed by beef and ale pie which was delicious. £10 unlimited Prosecco night was good too! Steak night Wednesday and fish a chip night Friday. Great pub, great food, great service.

Nos hospedamos en un almuerzo de fiesta y el pub tenía todo bien organizado. habíamos elegido nuestras opciones de comida antes y tenía una buena selección de platos a elegir. Las comidas eran todo fresco y todo lo que había era delicioso e imaginación sirve (cuidado enormes porciones de queso y galletas, pero muy bueno! ). Algunas personas cambiaron las mesas entre campos y aunque era un poco pequeña para ello funcionó, y el personal se lo llevó todo en su calma! Todo el personal era muy amable y atento. Había un ambiente encantador y si no vivo tan lejos sin duda volveremos.

Excellent food in an attractive country pub

Bien establecidos pub con agradable bar y zona de restaurante. Bar bien surtido y la cerveza aceptable.

Llegamos tarde, eficiente y amable saludo. Una buena opción para las bebidas, y la comida era bien servido. Los aperitivos y platos principales eran buenas aparte de brécol muy pasada. Los postres fueron un poco decepcionantes, falta de Ng en sabor, especialmente la tarta de limón. Por estar un poco corrientes cocina, sería bienvenido si el clima era más cálido.

Excellent service, brillent food,nicely set out tables not to close. Parking off road. Would recommend

Food was very nicely displayed, however it wasn't very nice.

Aunque no es el uso habitual de esta hermosa finalidad pub/restaurante, Stef y Emily fueron lo bastante amables como para dejarnos llevar por una noche para mi 40 cumpleaños, con música, baile y júbilo! enmascarada Nuestros huéspedes nos encantó la ubicación y se sentía muy relajado para mezclar y divertirse. A su llegada el equipo sirve a todo el mundo con burbujas y la comida era relajado pero fantástico! Mucho que decir sobre este lugar. Nos sentimos bendecidos de tener en nuestra puerta. Muchas gracias. Altamente recomendado!

Only had a drink but the place inside looked really nice and the menu looked very tasty. But the beer was excellent.

Haber oído cosas buenas sobre el Fox and Hounds, estaba deseando a mi visita. Por desgracia no me impresionó. La decoración interior ha tenido todo estilo y ambiente diseñado. La cerveza estaba en mal estado y se sirve sin amor. Las opciones de menú para vegetarianos como yo era mínimo y poco imaginativo (Frijoles y chaqueta. No volveré y no se encomiaba a otros - hay opciones mucho mejores en las inmediaciones.

Me habían recomendado El Fox and Hounds a un amigo así la esperanza de que ella no lo decepcionará. Siendo semana de vacaciones leicester's el restaurante era inusualmente vacío pero tomé la precaución de reserva de todos modos. El menú tenía una excelente variedad para todos los gustos creo yo y no nos decepcionó con nuestros platos principales de curry verde tailandés y picante ensalada de pollo.

We came here as a table of 7 last night for an early dinner. The lady who looked after us was incredibly friendly and helpful and made sure to keep checking we had enough drinks etc. The food was exceptional and it is definitely worth opting for the daily specials. I had the seafood linguine, which was delicious. The desserts are all clearly freshly prepared and equally amazing. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality and the atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend this pub and will definitely be returning!
