The Fox and Hounds in South Northamptonshire

Quality pub and staff, lovely beer garden and the food is worth any trip distance. We always pair a visit here with a trip to Stowe Gardens and make a day of it.

Came for an overnight stay at Whittlebury Hall and the Dinner times were crazy so walked 10 mins to this pub to have the best meal we’ve had in years. Potted crab to start followed by chicken, bacon and cheddar pie and roast sirloin of beef finishing with a chocolate brownie and cheese. My beef was excellent, a simple set of ingredients but cooked to perfection. But the pie was the best my wife and I had ever tasted. A little order envy on my part. Service was first class. If you are staying at Whittlebury Hall and don’t have a dinner package take the ten minute walk, you won’t regret it.

What a lovely place! Dog friendly too. Great food good value. Perhaps think about adding doggy treats as an extra option on the menu and different price for Affogato if you don't have the liqueur. £9 for a scoop of icecream and an espresso is a lot.

Great place to eat. Service was polite, friendly, and quick. So important clean. Food was better than expected, not that I had any real expectations.

Fantastic dinner after a day at Silverstone. The staff were incredibly helpful as one of our party required a specially-prepared meal. Food was all delicious, hot and fresh. Real gem of a pub 👌

I can highly recommend this lovely gastropub. The food and service are fantastic! We had roast dinners which were perfectly cooked, followed by sticky toffee pudding & chocolate brownie which were to die for!!!

Stop for a beer and wine after a walk nice atmosphere plan to have a meal there sometime. Called in on an evening for a meal great service and good food will eat there again.

Dined here following a trip Silverstone, food was delicious and the service excellent.

Amazing food and a great little pub. Staff are very friendly.

Joined some friends for Sunday lunch on the spur of the moment and really glad that we did. The whole meal was excellent as was the service. I had the roast beef which was mouth wateringly tender and the vegetable sides were all excellent. Chocolate brownie for dessert was sublime.

Just dropped in for a couple of beers on the walk home from Silverstone. Food looks excellent.

Great B&B. Room was clean and comfortable, great coffee. Nice continental breakfast in the room. Highly recommend.

My daughter and I had a lovely meal here. We thought the quality of the food was exceptional, with friendly service in a relaxed pub atmosphere.

We had a wonderful evening meal here. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and the food was piping hot, fresh and very tasty.

The rooms are very clean and comfortable but no air conditioning so get very hot when the weather is hot. There is no tv in any rooms which they tell you and the breakfast is only a box with a pastry and jam and fruit. There are tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The food in the pub is really good 👍

Thoroughly enjoyed an evening meal here with my partner. The food, service and location were perfect. Highly recommend the hake and chips.

We called in her for tea on Thursday night. Food was excellent, a good variety of beers and genuinely a really nice pub.

Food and service was great. Here for silverstone. Food presentation was best pub ever seen. Even better than alot of London top restaurants. Lamb was great. Staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend if around silverstone.

Very pleasant staff. Good choice of food and very tastey...

Stayed at the Fox & Hounds for three nights whilst my son was racing at Silverstone. What a place! I actually chose it based on strong reviews about its restaurant as I get fed up with poor quality food at the UK’s motor circuits. Well all I can say is that the reviews don’t do it justice. Tom and his team are very good. They are super attentive and so pleasant. Staying in one of the four rooms they have was like staying with old friends rather than a hotel. On two of our three days we had to be away early in the morning so the hotel provided a “hamper breakfast” which was a lovely touch. On the other day we had a full English cooked for us - literally just for us, as the only guests in the dining room at that time. It was brilliant. I will definitely book again - hopefully next time will be for longer than three days!

We had my dad's birthday here and had a lovely evening. The staff were very helpful with all the organisation and all the guests commented that the food was exceptional.

On the main road, lots of off road parking Lots of outdoor seating, some covered Real ales Dogs allowed Limited vegan / vegetarian menu

Just wanted to pass on my thanks and to say that I very much enjoyed my stay over the weekend. The room was airy and clean and the bed comfy, which was perfect and just what I wanted. I will be booking again for next year once I have the dates confirmed for the event I need to attend at Whittlebury hall.

Superb Sunday roast, decent price and lovely staff. Will be back.

Beautiful food. Lovely atmosphere. Only thing i would like to point out is chairs were very uncomfortable.

We have driven past this pub for many years and finally went in for lunch. Kicking ourselves for not enjoying the gorgeous food here before! A proper gastro pub. Beautifully prepared food and friendly service. So good we have booked to go back. Loved the cod cheek pagodas for starter and was really good and didn't eat all of my husband's chicken, leek and ham pie. Gorgeous pastry and delicious mash. I had the lamb which was beautifully tender. Highly recommend. Found room for sticky toffee pudding as well

The restaurant has quite literally the best food in the area. I stayed in the area for work and came back to The Fox and Hounds multiple times to try more from the menu. This is one to make a special trip for, and definitely visit if you are anywhere close! I’d give it 6 stars if possible. Great staff, fantastic food and good atmosphere. Don’t miss it.

We had dinner here whilst staying at Whittlebury Park. The food was delicious, fresh and very generous portion. We were able to get a table last minute which we were very glad of. We had the Hake & Chips, and the Chicken pie, both were lovely and served quickly.

10/10. Perfect country pub. Food is amazing. We stayed the night. Room very comfortable. Breakfast was the best one I have ever had!!!. Great selection of ales and beer too

Absolutely amazing place. Great selection of UK lagers. Our meal was freshly prepared (a nice open view of the kitchen) and beautifully cooked- with perfect service. We look forward to returning. Thank you

Excellent food and great service!

Excellent food and very good service.

Went for lunch with colleagues, food was excellent.

Fantastic food enjoyed by all 6 guests. The quality of the food was exceptional. The young waitresses were not as attentive as we would have expected.

Very warm and welcoming. Food was very tasty and beautifully presented. All served with a smile.

A fabulous village pub, with a great restaurant. Great staff, who welcome all. Super place to stop on your travels, or to make a specific visit like i do. Always worthwhile.

First time in this pub tried 2 of the beers on offer. Excellent beer. Felt comfortable in the bar. Friendly bar staff. Will be back.

Nice traditional pub with great food and really good service. Had the pork belly which was delicious and a great pint of ale.

We booked a night in one of the rooms so we could have dinner then drinks with friends. The food was great, the staff were all really welcoming & then there was the Sunday lunch. It would be fair to say probably the best Sunday lunch I've had in a pub for many a year. Well worth it if you're anywhere near.

We had a tremendous dinner, over night and the most terrific Sunday lunch. The slow cooked roast beef was delicious, fresh veg, great freshly cooked roast spuds and cracking gravy! We will be back

We stayed the night in this lovely local pub. Newly refurbished rooms, super clean clean, warm and insulated. Lovely William Morris touches. The Sunday roast was one of the best we have ever had. All very reasonably priced to boot.

Beautiful place and food. Everything we had was fantastic. Definitely recommend and will be back

Looked around this area for Sunday lunch and was encouraged by the great reviews. These were absolutely right ! Great service, polite and supportive staff, food was sublime chorizo with black pudding, followed by roast beef, we also had roast lamb delicious, highly recommended

Really lovely Sunday lunch, food was very tasty and well cooked! We will be back :)

Superb service, excellent choice of beers and food is fantastic - this place is a real undiscovered gem - perfect for lunch and evening meals! Dogs welcome !

Smashing food & attentive service. Lots of delicious items on menu and lots of home-made treats too. Will be back.

Meal for my partners and mum's birthday. Absolutely gorgeous food and service. Happy birthday plates and very attentive. 5 big fat stars!!

Amazing food, would highly recommend. Myself and a colleague were in the area and came here on a whim, couldn’t have left happier.

Another visit for lunch with friends resulted in all round praise for the quality of food and the friendliness of the staff. Those who had steaks were especially impressed with both the meat and how the steaks were cooked. Deserts were equally appetising.

Good food, nice people, medium beer selection

Great food and great atmosphere, will definitely be back

Just had the most amazing Sunday lunch. Worth every penny and the staff were so friendly.

A large group on Friday lunchtime, Karen was helpful and attentive. Best dripping chips i’ve had in as long as I can remember! I would highly recommend the fox and hounds

Great food, staff, brilliant pub

Dinner with friends whilst at Silverstone for ths weekend. Delicious food and great service. Wine was fairly priced. booking essential on busy evenings! Had a lovely table in the window.

We had a lovely dinner in this quiet pub. The food was lovely, home cooked with a lot of care. The staff were lovely. We were surprised that the restaurant was so quiet, it's a lovely spot, maybe just one of those quiet days. We enjoyed our visit.

One of our party was coeliac. The waiters did not give any advice about allergies. Gluten free options were very sparse - the only main course option was the fish, which was more expensive than the other options.

Called up to pre order as in a hurry - lady so helpful and the food was ready as we arrived. Delicious - ate in the sun, good value and quality food. Will definitely be back. Thanks for a great local lunch.

Had a birthday dinner after visiting Silverstone. Spacious car park, dishes are great and fresh. The WHITEBAIT is perfect! There is a awesome backyard with benches for enjoy the sunset view with a drink on you hand!

Excellent Gastro Pub located near Silverstone. The menu seems to suit all tastes and our party was happy with everything that they ordered, which arrived presented well and great tasting. Hale and Chips was my choice and couldn't fault it.

Very disappointing empty apart from 2 other people no ambience at all service slow considering no other customers food ok but quite pricey ordered affogato without liquor for 2 of us and told would be charged less as no liquor but still charged same. Disappointing - will not be back

Great selection of beers, friendly staff.

Fabulous stay, great location for Silverstone. Rooms comfy, lovely bedding everything u need. Shower pressure poor, but that’s a given in most places using so much. A superb quality huge breakfast. Gastro food great atmosphere.

Lovely food. Friendly bar staff. Always welcoming. Always good for a drink and a few pork scratchings after work. Bliss!

The Fox and Hounds have an interesting menu and the food is excellent. I had the fish and chips and the chips were fantastic , they took me back to my childhood. The staff were professional and attentive and the pub is very warm and welcoming. I suggest you try it.

Very friendly and efficient staff. Good food at a reasonable price. Would definitely go back.

Second review and as promised, definitely a 5/5. The Sunday Roast here is fantastic, the meat is cooked brilliantly and I love having my own gravy boat. The starters are also delicious, seriously go in hungry if you can't resist home cooked top notch food.

The food was fantastic, I was especially impressed by the fish which was cooked beautifully. The staff were very polite and accommodating. Will be back again!

Very friendly. Let me fill my water bottles up when they werent even open.

Incredible food, so much so I had 2 mains! Though the dessert was nice I think I’d have preferred the sticky toffee if I were to go back! Lying down in the garden area afterwards was exactly what one needs after 2 mains! and the...

This used to be my favourite place to go ........ the food is still very good, and my review should reflect this, however the service was not up to the same standard. At the end of the meal you are presented with the bill and...

Stayed here for 3 nights Friday thru Sunday for the F1 weekend. Our second stay, we came for the Moto GP last August, brought our daughter back this time. Its so well placed for an easy 20-25 minute walk to the track. Lived up to and exceeded our expectations this time. Room was lovely, beds comfy, very clean. We ate 3 nights and took advantage of 2 breakfasts. Food was delicious, presentation beautiful, and tasted outstanding. The breakfast was a fantastic start to the day. Can't single staff out as the warm welcome and friendly smiles that greeted us shone thru all the team. From breakfast to dinner and drinks, staff couldn't have been more helpful, always taking the time to ask how our day had been. The pub is very clean throughout and runs like a well oiled machine. The relaxed and friendly nature of the staff really made our stay so much more enjoyable. We look forward to coming back one day, away from racing events, to enjoy the live music and great hospitality again in the future. Would absolutely recommend. Exact same review posted on TripAdvisor! Cannot fault it!

Absolutely amazing food 100% be coming back

We had a lovely meal here. Nice local ingredients, generous portions. Great atmosphere. We are looking forward to visiting again.

Lovely country pub where you are made to feel welcome (unlike some around the area on Grand Prix weekend). Friendly staff, clean and comfortable inside seating and option of covered or open outside eating. Food was great and good value.

Fantastic pub, we stayed this weekend (F1 week) and was very welcoming, a warm and friendly pub with staff that always had a smile on their faces. Great food, great service, I would highly recommend.

Great stop on our travels, nice food lovely service.

Good welcome from staff after booking and choice of tables offered. Menu is good and offers some unusual choices. the roasted Hake i had was flavoursome and cooked just right. also not drowned in any sauce so the fish flavour could be enjoyed. Partner opted...

Dropped in here on a Saturday for a late lunch. We were super impressed by the quality of the food and the friendly and efficient service. We highly reccommend and will be returning soon.

In 15 years of living in Towcester, this was the best food we have had. Every course was exquisite! The staff were great and the location is too.

We visited the restaurant, the service and the food was excellent, book a table now !!!

I stayed in one of the rooms at the Fox and Hounds, the room was well decorated, clean and had a very comfortable bed. Bathroom with rain forest shower also clean. Lovely breakfast hamper containing pastries and fruit plus a flask of real milk, so...

Outstanding food and presentation is awesome

Love this place, visit weekly! Cocktails are the best around, all the staff are so friendly and amazing! Highly recommend! The food is also top tier! Thanks guys Laura

Dropped on this place by accident after a bad experience in the Hilton. The food was amazing. The service fantastic and the different lagers were a very refreshing change. In fact next time we’re in the area, we’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you!

Wonderful food and service. Took a little while for food so best to probably mention if in a rush before hand. Pork tenderloin splendid as was the seasoning. Burger looked amazing.

Fabulous food and great service. We popped in on the off chance they had a table for four and thankfully they could accommodate. The food agreeable by all was great and service was exceptional

We often head out for walks from Towcester to Whittlebury- Silverstone, it was an absolute delight to drop in at the Fox and Hound for a drink and a fairly quick bite to eat. It was a Bank Holiday Monday, very busy, we received a...

It was an excellent meal. The meal was booked for my daughter's birthday, I wanted it to be spot on. The Fox and Hounds was very welcoming, it was bright and clean. They have a huge car park which is always nice, I dislike having...

Lovely evening meal and a few pints. Nice range of beers and the food was great. Service with a smile as well. Thanks.

Spartan rooms with very poor quality mattress. Breakfast arrives in a basket. Again very poor quality. Evening meal okay only saved by happy staff - a long way from gastro pub status

Asked The Fox and Hounds to accommodate my Husbands surprise 70th birthday lunch. 18 people attended and it was magnificent. Menu choices available superb. Food cooked to perfection and very generous helpings Wine, prosecco lovely. Non alcohol sparkling wine for drivers and young people lovely....

Favorite restaurant in this area. Good food and very polite service. Quality of fish and meat is awesome !!

Good food is an understatement. I have been to places twice the price and half the quality of The Fox & Hounds. Their portions are generous, their quality is unbelievable. They say you get what you pay for and it shows. We had a burger and a pie. The pie, was home made, delicious, the beef was melt-in-your-mouth soft and it was full of flavour. The burger was big, amazingly well prepared and rich on flavour. I have seldom seen a place that has burger patties of this size. Even on places like the hardrock cafe do not create burgers like these. Find an excuse to come here, you will love it.

Lovely food, great service, and a good selection of excellent beer. Will come again.

Visited yesterday for lunch and very impressed. Large car park, friendly service and great food. What's not to like?

We ate here three out of 4 nights while at Silverstone for an event. We read great reviews before going and can agree with all of them. The food is top notch. I tried around 15 dishes on the menu and all were fresh, flavorful...

Another visit and again the quality of the food surpassed expectations. The Fox and Hounds consistently delivers its fare to a very high standard. The chef knows how to turn quality ingredients into wonderful courses, from starters to desserts. There is a relaxed ambience, engendered...

The restaurant needs updating as the decor is far too dark, in fact the whole place needs reviving especially the outside terrace which is under some sort of cover which needs a good deal of attention and the terrace itself could really do with some TLC to make it welcoming and appealing. As it was a sunny day we sat with our drinks on the terrace for a good three quarters of an hour and didn't see a single member of staff. On entering the car park from the road the first objects you see are a row of waste bins followed by a very untidy littered area adjacent to the car park. Whoever owns this pub which is the only one in the village needs to take a good look at the outside from a customers viewpoint as this could be a very attractive place to visit.
