The Fox and Hounds in Mendip - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The Fox is een erg leuk restaurant. We stonden op een camping in de omgeving en we zochten een goed restaurant. The Fox vind je niet zomaar, deze zit buiten het centrum van het stadje Frome. We hebben er erg lekker gegeten en gedronken. Echt een aanrader! Niet te groot, echt leuk. Ik denk dat hier veel locale bewoners komen. Ze zijn sinds een half jaar ook een camping begonnen. Die hadden we niet gevonden en daarom staan we ergens anders. Bediening is wel erg snel, Nederlanders zitten graag wat langer aan rafel. Echter erg lekker gegeten en gedronken, ik kan u dit restaurant van harte aanbevelen. The Fox, thank for the very nice dinner!

I picked the Orchard for my first solo camping trip because I'd been before, the site is amazing and they are lovely people. I have had Adam's food on other occasions and that's pretty brilliant too.

We stayed at The Old Kitchen at the Fox/Den and Orchard complex. Modern, tastefully furnished and comfortable.Everything included for a self catering holiday. Grounds are quiet and The Old Kitchen has its own private garden. Adam and Michelle are very accommodating and very welcoming. The complex includes POD accommodation and camping/glamping so many different accommodation choices. Will be returning. If we could find fault with anything.....actually we can't.

The food was exceptional- the best burger I’ve ever tasted. We went back again the following week as it was amazing. The service was fast and friendly. I couldn’t believe how reasonably priced it was. Best food in Frome by far! Great job team. Can’t wait to return. 5 stars….

Great little place! We stumbled across The Fox and it's characterful owner during our stay in Frome. Four generations in one family is hard to please but they managed with ease. Local beers, cider and wines on offer together with a very high standard of food. The 83 year old Great Grandad, choosing a burger, said it was the best he had ever eaten in his life! Campsite undergoing development...looking good. Go now before the secret gets out!

Good facilities….showers are amazing, . We had a family of 15 with many kids and we all loved it. Amazing food from the takeaway. Safe to just let young kids run around. Would give more than 5 stars if I could

What a lovely find. A perfect, small campsite with everything we needed. With only two rows of pitches, the site was not crowded. The take away was the best burger I’ve had in years and the chocolate pizza- well! The owners were friendly, available and clearly were proud of the facilities they were building up. There are lovely alternative accommodation there too if camping is not your thing.

stayed in accommodation next door.the children had burgers and chips cooked to perfection,and verrry verrry tasty.a great little takeaway

We had our first takeaway from the fox... it was totally yummy, my husband had the black and blue burger which he loved and I had the new pulled pork, on top of melted cheese and potato crispers, omg was soo lush! I couldn’t move of the sofa afterward was so full 😆 and such a reasonable price too! Will be seeing you very soon I’m sure! 😋 thanks guys 👍🏻

The carvery on a sunday I'd amazing. Everything fresh. Meat cooked to perfection and as much as you like. Lovely service. Highly recommended

Really nice atmosphere, very relaxing, love the Chesterfield sofas and general decor. We came here on a Sunday as I had read the reviews and we had a roast buffet which was good and plentiful. Would recommend.

We were well aware of some negative reviews, but the food came out very fast (almost too fast) and the staff were very attentive, but not overly so. The menu was very good and food tasty and good portion. Venue was nice too. I would highly recommend it !

Visited here after being recommended by a local hotel nearby. At first the lady that greeted us said there was no table for over 45mins even though there was multiple empty tables around the pub. Luckily a manager came past and seated us at one of the empty tables. After that we were the last people to come in and be seated so I dont know why the waitress didn't want to seat us straight away. We then ordered our food and the food was incredible... you could not fault the food however after eating our mains and leaving our empty plates on the table, it took over an hour for someone to come to the table to clear the plates and ask if we wanted another drink. We then waited another 30 mins before someone offered us a dessert menu and being my boyfriends birthday we really wanted a dessert. The desserts then came quite quickly but again were then left waiting an enormous time for the bill. This would have been understandable if the pub was busy but at this time it seemed like there was only one table left of friends in the pub so all the waiters and waitresses were sitting down with their friends having a good time but leaving us feeling very neglected in the corner. As the time went on we started to feel unwelcome and almost an inconvenience to the staff. In total we spent 3.5 hrs in the pub and only had mains, desserts and 2 drinks... not an acceptable time frame. Overall the food was beautiful but it was overshadowed by the pure neglect by the staff.

We had used The Fox many yeas ago, as a family and were pleased to see that it has survived and is now thriving!

We have just had a fabulous Sunday roast here with friends. The carvery was amazing and the food delicious however our experience was disappointing as they were a bit underhand with the bill. I ordered and paid for drinks before the meal and it was still on the final bill when we went to pay. Also the menus on the table stated the carvery was £13 each but the bill was £13.50! When we questioned this we were told the price had gone up! The menus were just paper flyers so very easy to change to have saved any confusion. The young staff were helpful but the issues with the bill let them down. If it wasn’t for this I would have rated this 4 star plus.

A group of 5 booked a table for a Wednesday evening....7.15pm....walked in on time...stood inside the enterance for a good 5/10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us....not a good start...we eventually got shown to our table.....2 menus were just thrown on the table. !!!!! Between 5 !!! We ordered drinks & food.....arrived in reasonable time, I was told the steaks were good, the chicken, bacon salad I had was ok...Served in a large bowl, meat was not the easiest to cut & think it could have be fresher ! Asked if we wanted desserts, this time 1 menu was thrown on the table, decided we wouldn't bother...paid our bill, splitting it between us...the waitress returned telling us we had not paid enough, told her to add it up again..she then came back to us & said, 'oh sorry her mistake'. I appreciate it was very busy. But this is not good service. More staff was certainly needed...will not be returning...

Went for dinner in evening. There were 6 of us and the choice of food for both adults and children was plentiful. The food we all had was excellent and plenty of it. The service was great and would highly recommend. Worth booking as a busy place.

Came early on a Tuesday evening (just as well as it got very busy later, and service got a little slower). Very impressed with the food, particularly the black and blue burger which was a delight in every respect. Choc nutella cheesecake also delicious (tasted almost boozy with amazing creamy ice-cream on the side).

This pub was recommended to us, we arrived to find a large party taking up about 15 places of a perhaps a 40 cover restaurant. There were two members of very young members of staff who looked like rabbits caught in the headlights. In hindsight we should have left as the feeling of the restaurant was complete tension due to the service of the large table causing panic throughout the place! Clearly the manager was helping the chef and when she (Michelle) finally appeared her attitude was awful. We asked where our order was, as we had been waiting for various items for quite a while to which she replied ‘well we are crazy busy!’

A late evening meal out with 4 kids under 6 is not something anyone would relish. However at the The Fox we were made very welcome and the choice of dish was just right for both child and adult.

A prefect little pub offering home-cooked meals! Perfect if you’re staying in the nearby Lighthouse B&B.; Really friendly staff too!

This is a restaurant with the feel of a pub, hard uncomfortable wooden seats [ take a cushion ] with a great atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and the home cooked food is excellent. The only thing that let the whole experience down is that the service was dreadful, it was very slow and on a couple of occasions we had to give a reminder regarding drinks we had ordered. After saying this I would still repeat the visit and just hope for better service the next time.

What a great find. Just down the road from The Lighthouse Hotel, the Fox is one of those rare treats ... a restaurant serving wholesome, exceptionally well cooked, local produce. The starters were delicious, served with a very fresh and tasty salad. The beef and ale pie was first class. The homemade puddings excellent. We will be back!

One of the best Italian style meals that i have had in a long time and nice and friendly service to go with it..

We visited on Thursday night & have to say this was one of the most enjoyable meals we have both had in a while. The place was packed but the service was still brilliant and they worked their socks off!! I would thoroughly recommend The Fox to anyone in the area, the rib eye & the lasagne were both super tasty as were our starters & puddings. Thanks for a great experience!

Six of us meet once a month for dinner and this time decided to choose The Fox. First impressions, there is no bar!! However drinks are served fast the table from the kitchen.

This has to be the best food I have ever eaten along with the best service you could ever wish for.

I've visited here on various occasions and have never been disappointed. Booking in advance is advisable for inside there very limited on space, probably one of the main reasons the bar is no more. Service is very good, good selection of bottled beverages. They also offer some of the best food within the area. This has probably been one of my favourites for a while now. They also offer an amazing sunday carvery. The presentation, quantity and quality has always been spot on 10/10.

We stopped at The Fox as a stopover from London to Devon for lunch. The menu is interesting and it’s nice the mention of sourcing local ingredients. The ham and cheese board was great. The other dishes however were average and their take on a pie leaves a lot to be desired! The side of vegetables only had one type of vegetable. The bill came to £25pp which I felt was severely overpriced for one course and two starters between 4- no alcohol!

We stopped by after a walk in Longleat forest with our dog and although we were a little late (stop serving food at 2 and we arrived about 1.30) the staff were very welcoming. We both had a Cajun burger and OH MY DAYS it was THE best burger I have had in a long time. I am really picky about burgers and have searched for one as good as my last "best ever" which was around 2 years ago. I would 100% recommend that you go just to try the burger. Amazing.

A very carefully designed ambience seems to work in this old building; not over fussy.

Found this recommended in our local B&B; info guide, wasnt really sure what we would find but am so glad we ook a chance on this one. Food was far more than your average pub grub x even down to the lasagna - not your usual microwaved to oblivion but a very tasty obviously home made variety. My steak and prawns were also very tasty but the Mrs Fox's meringue mess is just to die for....

Visited with my family while staying locally. We didn't book but were fortunate to get a table and enjoyed delicious home-cooked food. I chose the Thai curry which was perfectly spiced.

We stayed in a nearby hotel for a family wedding. When we saw the menu we were surprised at how litte was on it. It soon became very clear why the food was absolutely amazing i had the classic burger which was by far the beat burger i have eaten in a very very long time. The attention to detail and standard of the food was amazing. We were told the menu changes regularly and my only issue is that I live so far away and cannot go back every week to try the new food. 10/10

We ate there over 2 nights, and it is the best food I have had in a restaurant for a long time. The first night I had the 8oz ribeye, which was perfectly cooked. The second night, I had the chicken breast with a creamy garlic sauce and button mushrooms. All the meat is locally sourced, and believe me, you can tell. IIt was so succulent and flavorsome. But, do not miss out on the Somerset Gelato for dessert. I had the coffee and walnut flavor, truly heavenly! The staff are super helpful, without being intrusive, great service.

Visited based on recent reviews. Outstanding quality & value for money. Fish assortment was gorgeous, and girls rated the triple chocolate brownie their best ever!! Try the Gorge Best too! Best collective meal out this year!!

Stayed at The Lighthouse Hitel which was opposite The Fox. Food was excellent and so was the service. Would highly recommend.

The Fox was strongly recommended by work colleagues so we thought we would give it a try. Fully booked on Friday so we were fitted in on the Saturday. A very warm welcome and seated quickly. Service was friendly amd efficient. The menu was varied although we couldn't find a starter to tempt us. An 8oz rump and a beef and ale pie were very good. It was refreshing that it wasn't served on a piece of roofing material and the pie wasn't served in a small bowl. The deserts were fabulous.

Booked a few months ago to ensure we had a table whilst in Frome for a gig. Excellent food, very generous portion sizes. Lovely, friendly staff

Welcomed from our first contact, lovely atmosphere, really enjoyed our meals & even the puppy enjoyed the evening. Fond The Fox to be extremely good value & wold not hesitate to visit again if in the area.

Just had another amazing visit to the fox for Sunday lunch. The best meal I’ve had out for some time !!!!

I really can’t say enough good things about this place.

In trying to find this resturant using our sat nav, we ended up down a muddy track in the middle of nowhere. We had in fact passed the restaurant a few hundred yards earlier but failed to notice it as it doesn't stand out from the surrounding countryside but fits in tastefully. No glaring signs and grotty frontage here. Like it's exterior, the restaurant is understated and tasteful inside; with plenty of plain wooden furniture and natural recycled materials used in its internal facades.Our meals were perfect for a group consisting of a vegan, vegetarian and two epicurean carnivores. We were all spoiled for choice when choosing from the menu. Although there was a problem with the chef forgetting to omit non vegan ingredients from the vegans meal and salad, this was quickly remedied by replacement meals and free drinks to whit. The service was good, although asking how the meal was within minutes of serving it, suggests the young lady who served us needs more training; and the food excellent.A drinks menu would also help.

We've been meaning to visit this pub for ages and I'm so glad we did. It's cosy with a sofa area, fire place and rustic stone walls. The decor is cool but also comfortable - nothing worse than an uncomfortable dining chair!

Me and my partner popped in for a drink Saturday night, and the manager and bar man couldn’t have been lovelier and more welcoming. However, as the pub had called last orders, we were just finishing our drinks and the rudest waitress made the comment, ‘I’m going to start getting passive aggressive now I’ve asked them to leave already’ and continued to mutter and make the customers feel uncomfortable. This was at 11, and believe me as a previous waitress it can be annoying (I would smile through as that’s customer service), but now as a hardworking teacher and policeman out to enjoy a casual staurday this was unnecessary and uncomfortable. Please tell your staff that customers CAN hear them and we are paying to be there. However, thank you to the lovely management throughout the evening.

Sometimes you find a place that is just spot on. The Fox is exactly that. It’s reasonably priced, the food quality was excellent and the staff very polite and helpful. I strongly recommend you book in advance to avoid the disappointment of turning up and not being able to get a table. My wife had the pie and I had food envy. It’s ok though, I’ll have it the next time we go!

We ate at the Fox Friday between xmas and New Year, it was an evening meal this time, and the food was excellent, staff were very helpful and attentive. $ of us ate we all had 3 courses and everyone enjoyed every course....well done The Fox you must have been very busy over this period but your standards havent faulted....very good, thanks

We booked dinner here 2 nights in a row as we were staying nearby. The food was really nice and reasonably priced. The staff were so friemdly. On the second day I wasn’t well enough to join my family for dinner and asked they bring me back a packet of plain crisps. The pub didn’t sell them but a waitress had a pack from her lunch which she kindly sent back with my parents. It had a lovely friendly feel to the place

Lovely country Pub, excellent carvery with huge selection of vegetables! Nice friendly staff and good value £12 adults & £8 kids carvery which included ice cream for kids.

Went here on recommendation from the Lighthouse across the road after a long day at Longleat. The staff were really friendly and polite. Wonderful cosy feel to the place what you walk in and the Devi e was fab.

As we were staying across the road we decided to go in for dinner. No driving so expected a compromise but were pleasantly surprised. The food choice is limited which means it is fresh. It is well cooked and served in generous portions. The drink choice is huge and varied with local beers on offer.

The starters were good, but the waitress brought the glasses with her fingers in the top- ugh- unhygienic! When we went to the carvery, they thought that everyone in our sitting had eaten and so there was no meat, she had to go and get more. My over-cooked beef was then hacked into 2 huge, thick slabs. Very unappetising. Our 2 vegetarian options were also totally forgotten. We waited and waited and nothing appeared. I had to go and ask the “chatting in the corner” waitresses if the food was on its way. It then appeared relatively rapidly. This was also disappointing. Leek and mushroom gratin- very watery and rather tasteless, they needed a spoon!! To be fair, the vegetables were good, in particular the broad beans were delicious. The staff were friendly and smiley but obviously undertrained- fingers in glasses is a basic no-no.

Visited here this evening during a family visit to Longleat, and so glad we did!

Last year (2017) we booked a Christmas Carvery meal and it was exceptional so thought we'd book again this year. Unfortunately the quality was not as good. Starters were all good and could not fault anything. We were all looking forward to the advertised carvery but instead of having a carvery, all the meat was brought to the table already cut and served? The turkey was very thinly cut and there was not much of it. The vegetables etc were then served to the table and they were plentiful (although the potatoes and parsnips appeared to be frozen and cooked rather than fresh). With the meal completed the waitress informed us that due to time they were going to serve the sweets and coffee together as they were shutting at 3pm (bear in mind this was 2:30pm). The coffee and frozen cold mince pies (1cm square mince slice in pastry) turned up and we then waited another 10 minutes before our sweets arrived. As the coffee had now run out, one of the party asked for one, only for it to turn up in a pot full of cold water. When this was pointed out to the waitress the waitress said 'oh okay'. Truly disappointing, especially when the normal menu is so tasty. One last comment is that it always seems difficult to distinguish the staff from customers as there is no uniform worn.

So we did it again. To the Fox for our Christmas meal. 42 of us welcomed with amazing service and food. I can not fault any part of the meal. Starters were varied and great as was desert choices. The mini mince pies were delicious and the carvery was absolutely fantastic.

This is a personal and informal review and does not reflect any group endorsement. Today our disabled group with mobility issues were hosted by the Fox and we all departed well content and fed. This was our second year and the manager liaised carefully with our organiser to ensure a seamless event, especially in the foul weather today. the range of drinks was plentiful and of excellent quality and everyone was served quickly and without fuss. The buffet meal was plentiful and in addition to the meats at least 7 vegetables were well prepared. I had the beef and was offered any cut and I chose the well done. I struggle to remember a more succulent and tender cut than that enjoyed today. The Crianza wine I chose went with it perfectly. the selection of puddings supported the main meal well and were tasty. Service was spot on and we all left feeling we had been well catered for. I would happily recommend The Fox for dining, alone or as a group.

A large group of us came here for the carvery. We had a mixture of starters which were great. We all had the carvery which was fantastic. A wife choice of veg and great meat too. Deserts were nice. The staff were really friendly. Overall a fantastic place for a Sunday roast! Would highly recommend!

While out for a sunday drive we came across this wee place and stopped for the carvery.Had to wait a bit as it was busy and we hadnt booked a table but it was well worth it the roast was great.Friendly staff.Well worth a visit.

Just had the most amazing meal here. Wonderful food lovely atmosphere a very warm and cosy place to eat would recommend anyone to try this place

First visited last week and had prawn Thai curry for starter with a super main course. The Thai was just brilliant so we went back tonight to try the curry main - and we were certainly not disappointed. OMG WOW - superb Thai prawn curry - great service - fantastic and not expensive. Certainly recommend - will become regulars - The Goody’s

Absolutely delicious food! And really good portion sizes. I had the Lasagne with salad & chips, and my other half had a Burger with salad & chips. We couldn’t finish all the chips, which were served in a big sharing bowl.

This is a lovely pub, the food was delicious, the decor is simple and elegant, the service was also very good, the only thing that was missing is a bar!!!! I think a bar in a pub in the hub of a pub and it felt odd not having one.

Staying a stone's throw away at The Lighthouse, we took a stroll to have dinner at The Fox and found it very pleasant. Food was tasty, waiting times were reasonable, surroundings were clean & enjoyable. Will definitely return if we ever stay at the same B&B; again :)

Wanted somewhere nearby I could go the kids and dog for my birthday lunch and, having seen the sign for The Fox so often, decided to give it a go. Glad I did because it far exceeded my expectations - I don’t normally have high hopes for a carvery lunch but this was truly excellent, particularly great that they’d made an effort to do such a nice range of veg. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and we look forward to returning to try the regular menu. Recommended!

We visited for Sunday lunch as a celebration for my uncles 50th birthday. In arrival we had a slight wait as the staff had to clear the table but we were offered seats on their very comfy sofas.

Came here for Sunday lunch and it was amazing, and we loved the homemade veg! The staff were lovely and helpful, and were very quick in sorting out our drinks. I couldn’t fault the food at all, and will definitely be returning soon! 10/10

We use the Fox regularly because the food and hosting is always great. Called in for a family evening meal last night. &.30pm and the restaurant was already busy with a great atmosphere. Food was good, staff attentive and Adam and Michelle were great hosts as always.

Popped along on a Tuesday eve. Called before to check they were open and had space.

We visited this restaurant for Sunday lunch, we have many times in the past and raved about it to our friends but upon this visit things are very different. The service and surrounding were still good but the quality of the food has dropped substantially, frozen roast potatoes and brick hard veg, no not the fashionable type, along with cheap looking Yorkshire puddings means we won’t be going back again, sorry

We were fitted in on a day when all the worlds balloonists were due to turn up and staff were away due to a wedding!

Having eaten here before and enjoyed the food, we took the plunge and booked a table for Sunday lunch. Pub roasts are often a let down, but the roast here is amazing. A carvery with the choice of 3 beautifully cooked meats, crispy roast potatoes and a large selection of nicely cooked vegetables left the three of us feeling full and happy.

The office book my accommodation based on my request to be close to work. So some you win some you lose! Well this was a winner. Walking distance from my accomodation I thought I would give it a go. Very friendly welcome by both front of House staff who were excellent. Table for one. The drink selection is quirky, all bottles no draught so I had a look at the range placed on the shelves. Well in Somerset thought I would try a local cider ably assisted by the staff. Great recommendation. Food wise I went for the char grilled chicken and bacon salad. Very tasty and fresh great potato salad and coleslaw. I ordered onion rings which were very tasty and not greasy. So came to pudding which my default is cheesecake though I opted for the local ice cream which was very tasty.

this a great little place with a great variety of wines.ciders and ales.. The food was lovely and the service was excellent too ... One little gripe is if you state on the menu that a chicken breast is included in your mixed grill then give someone a chicken breast a dont just slice it and give a third of it ,That said the food we had was very tasty indeed and perfectly cooked and the Rhubarb cider is to die for....

We travelled here to meet friends and were not disappointed. We had thought it was a pub but soon realised it was a small restaurant, and obviously a very popular one. The food was delicious, the service friendly and as efficient as a busy Friday night would allow. Although not a pub it offered a wide range of speciality drinks. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Went to see friends near Wells and wanted to eat before driving back to London.

Fantastic food and service at this place. We stayed just up the road, and this seemed the only place for dinner within walking distance. We didn't book as we didn't think it could get that busy! Wish we had as the only seat we could get was in the garden, and that got a little chilly. That is through no fault of the restaurant, we were just glad they could accommodate us. When we got too cold, they found us a free table inside so we could finish our drinks in the warm. The food was fantastic and the service was outstanding. Would recommend this restaurant to anybody in the area but do make sure you book so you're not disappointed.

We stayed across the road and the fox was highly recommended.. the food was lovely and the pub itself has a quirky edge. The service was a little slow, however we did go on an extremely busy evening and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely dinner - very child friendly - need to book as gets very busy - had the lasagna and husband had the steak pie - very nice

I absolutely loved this place for lunch. I honestly couldn't fault it in any way (not that I was looking!).

Went here last night with a couple of friends. The warm and relaxing atmosphere really hits you when you walk in. The staff are really friendly and you able to have a bit of friendly banter with them.

There was 10 of us that descended on the hop last night, enough to put a lot of restaurants off. They couldn’t have been more welcoming, kids menu was great, adults menu varied and delish.

Family run which is reflected in the lovely relaxed friendly atmosphere. Really well priced menu. I went in with high expectations as my friends have told me they are the best burgers in the land and I was not disappointed. For just £20 you get seriously good burgers with a large range of flavours and sauces and add-ons (onion rings halloumi bacon etc etc) with fantastic chips for two people. Really dog friendly. Really kid friendly.

The Fox, formerly known as the Fox and hounds pub, is now a food restaurant, having basically remove the bar.

Good food and friendly service . Would recommend as a good pub meal. I note the bar has been removed so not a conventional pub any more

We found this restaurant on trip advisor and came here on our way back to our b&b; from Longleat.

Really tasty food and a GIN menu - what more can a girl ask for!!! Good service, reasonable price. Lovely puddings.

Great pub. Hearty meals and good prices. Can recommend the mixed grill! Good selection of wines and ales. I’m sorry, I can’t remember the ladies name but she recommended a gin drink (her favourite) to me - Wanted to say thanks as her customer service was excellent!

Definitely the place to go if you would like to enjoy a meal out. Good food, lovely ambient and excellent service

A little gem of a place with good food and choice of wine / beer. Thoroughly recommend it. Very tasty thai curry and helpful staff accommodated a sometimes fussy five year-old!

Lovely friendly welcome. Good, varied menu. I had the seafood basket which was really delicious and the chips were good too.

After reading so many great reviews, we were warmly welcomed to The Fox and relieved to discover that a table was free even though we hadn’t booked.

This restaurant was recommended to us when we were staying in a local b&b; and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food was delicious with great portion sizes.

Me and my partner are staying on the campsite behind the pub. Wanted to try the food as is recomended for its ale. So glad we did! This is a truley hidden jem. Even tho busy, the wait time was short and very acceptable. Table service polite and efficiant. And the food? Outstanding. Home made burger was to die for. 10/10, thankyou!!

Have been coming here for many years with my family as they are family friends of the owners.

We were staying in Frome and not sure where to go for dinner when we read the outstanding reviews of the Fox on Tripadvisor. In all honesty we expected a reasonable quality gastropub. We actually ate at a full restaurant which presented some really excellent, tasty food that would have flattered many more established venues. The environment was fresh and modern without being glitzy and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. All in all this should be seen as a high quality, good value restaurant that the people living in the area are lucky to have.

Visited the Fox with friends for the first time....glad we booked as the place was full..always a good sign...the atmosphere was lovely, decor & staff, although very young, were very good. We all ordered different, all very good...when it came to desserts....ordered two chocolate brownies, expected this to be warm...it was not...also ordered a double scoop of ice cream...the brownies arrived but the ice cream did not...we asked twice what had happened to this....we had finished the brownies, still no ice cream. My husband had no dessert...he decided to cancel his order....we really were disappointed as the rest of the meal was lovely.... We paid the bill...after this the waitress reappeared with a refund of the two desserts we had had...we felt that this was a good response....

What a gem of a find this place is...After travelling 4hrs from Suffolk based on what I had heard about The Fox, it certainly didn’t disappoint! For me, the homemade burger is alawys great test to see what the food is going to be like and it was amazing, cooked to perfection as was the mixed grill I had the next night . The Sunday carvery was that good I had to have double helpings. The owners, staff and service were amazing to, so friendly and welcoming, you really feel well looked after. If your looking for somewhere to stay ( check website for accommodation details ) or just want a great meal then The Fox is a must, family and dog friendly to just makes it an all round great place to visit

Couldn't fault the service, we booked a large table of 30 originally and found out the night before we actually had 36 people. They managed to squeeze us all in , even though they were fully booked. The staff were wonderful and the food was great, we had a choice of three meats.

We went for a family meal for 10, and so got to try a wide selection of dishes, from the 'world famous' lasagne to the Classic Burger, and pies and fish in between. Without exception it was excellent: the veg was fresh, cooked perfectly (not boiled to death like most places), the pies had a top AND a bottom, and the pastry was generous and home made. The gravy was to die for.

We visited on 30th March and once again the food was excellent and the staff efficient and friendly. The Fox never lets us down!
