The Fox and Hounds in Wirral

Had a bad experience here a few years ago but tried again tonight after a good few recommendations. My opinions could not have changed more. The atmosphere was on point, lively yet comfortable. Bar staff were extremely helpful. The food was great - beautifully presented, hot, and fresh. One of the best fish pies, and all reasonably priced. The highlight of our visit was our friendly waitress with whom we had a lovely chat and couldn’t do enough for us. We will definitely be back - well done to all the staff.

Had an excellent Sunday Lunch here in July and returned for a midweek dinner a couple of weeks ago. Found the menu overpriced, although cooked and served well - that is, apart from the strange Steak and Ale Pie that appeared. This disappointingly consisted of a deep mince and vegetable filling in a shortcrust pastry with an off-putting texture, so be warned it's not your typical steak pie. Nice little pub, but if you book a seat in the conservatory, make sure it's not by the door. Our young waiter was very nice and I would still recommend the Sunday Lunch.

Had a great time, FOOD,AND STAFF BRILLIANT.

Lovely food, big portions, very friendly staff

It's my local, so I'm biased! Joking apart, it's a good place to eat or drink....or both if the mood takes you! For the good times! Cheers 🍻

Great food but sometimes have to wait for it to arrive. Plenty of parking. Definitely recommend.

Good food and beer in a well cared for pleasant environment. This was not our first visit and certainly won't be the last!

Went for Sunday roast last week, everything was amazing! Service was friendly and nothing was an issue which is what you want! Food was the best, can’t beat a Fox and Hound roast dinner! Definitely be back and recommend to everyone!

This is the best mix of eatery and traditional pub, the balance is perfect. Real ale, good selection of wines and spirits. Stevie the barman on duty the day I visited was a ray of sunshine on a rainy day. He also spoiled my dog with water and biscuits. The food exceeded expectations, I had the steak pie which was very tasty and the portion size was generous, I had to take home a dogg bag. The staff were very helpful , attentive and smiley.

My first choice of pub on the Wirral. The staff are all extremely helpful and friendly and always offer a great service. Food is always amazing and you can’t beat a roast dinner here on a Sunday.

Always a lovely friendly atmosphere

Amazing food everytime I’ve been great staff just a all round great place to go

Just wonderful. Excellent service throughout and the food was exceptional.

Love this place! They do the best roast dinners ever. Waiting & bar staff are all lovely.

Fantastic food, attentive staff and a lovely place to eat, definitely recommend fox and hounds a definite ten out of ten,can't wait to return👍👍👍

Usually I would give 5* across the board for the Fox and Hounds but my last visit was wasn't perfect. I'll start with the live singer, lovely voice but we couldn't hear ourselves think let alone speak so conversation came to a standstill. Service was poor, I had to go and find staff so I could order puddings and when that came our main meal dishes were still on the table. Food was lovely even tho I ordered trout but got Salmon, it's my fave fish so didn't complain and the Cheesecake was gorgeous. We must have caught them on a bad night.

Great selection of spirits and drinks, friendly staff, dog friendly

Visited again with friends and had a very enjoyable evening. Busy and slightly noisy, my problem not theirs, welcoming venue with character, good food and wines . Friendly and attentive staff , will return in near future.

A lovely dinner, husband has gluten free fish and chips, so he was pleased

The food is consistently excellent! Full of flavour and just delicious. Sunday lunch Portions are quite generous. A quality pub in a lovely area.

I had the roast chicken Sunday dinner, my wife had the belly pork, and my mother in law had the beef. The food was very good and tasty,the staff were excellent and friendly,definitely go back again

Nice veggie Wellington but only a single portion of broccoli to go with it. Even a few peas would have been nice or a couple of carrots. I mean not as if they are expensive or anything. Plate looked very bare

Absolutely best roast dinner. I'd given up finding a roast with proper gravy, lean meat, crispy spuds and the best Yorkshire puds ever! but I found it. It's not cheap but if you want the best and not a ding bisto dinner then go here.

Waiting on staff were lovely but the time it took for meals to be served was too long. Very poor vegetarian selection. Only one vegetarian meal on the main evening menu, and that was a salad.

We visit here regularly, it's a favourite. Never had a bad meal, and the service is always excellent. Dog friendly.

Great experience at the fox and hounds, lovely atmosphere and food, we had small plates to share and was happy with the quality and portions. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely place. Great food would definitely be going again.

The best restaurant I have been to in ages. Would recommend

Been told the place is lovely by friends and we went with my other halfs family. It was very good. We were all impressed with the place, plenty of parking and the food you can tell it is home made. We all went for the roast dinner and enjoyed it alot. Gravy was nice and rich, the vegetables were served on the side so plate didn't look over full. We were gutted we was not told they ran out and never got cauliflour cheese like it states on the menu but food was good that we was not that fussed. The staff were very friendly and helpful with our requests. Good atmosphere and we will be returning very soon. Thank you :)

Without a shadow of a doubt ‘Thee’ spot for a Sunday Roast!

Best steak I've ever had. The onion rings with peppercorn sauce were an unexpected hero of the plate. The garlic butter mushrooms also stole the show. Absolutely fantastic food, atmosphere was refined and beautiful, and the staff were friendly. Bit expensive but you're paying for top quality here, so it's not a problem.

I'd wanted to try the Sunday Roast for a while so today was the day. We had booked a table and had a lovely welcome from our server (think it was George?) We both ordered the roast beef, which arrived with tasty roasties, a huge Yorkshire pudding and lots of gorgeous gravy. I was slightly disappointed with the smallish bowl of vegetables for us to share as we'd normally polish off that amount each... The vegetables were carrot & swede, broccoli & cabbage. That said, we really enjoyed our meal and I then chose the rum & raisin ice cream for dessert, which was creamy and delicious. A lovely pub with attractive decor and pleasant staff. Definitely worth a revisit!

Went with husband daughter her partner friend's and our dog. Food was really nice and hot staff really friendly. Would definitely recommend

Great gastro pub and definitely a favourite venue. Food is lovely and atmosphere is very friendly. Always busy but never feels crammed in. Outdoor tables available undercover.

Came with family to celebrate our Sons graduation. We were greeted by a very friendly staff member who showed us to our seat and took our drink requests. Loved the table and the view onto a small court yard area. The interior decorations are beautiful and the room we sat in was light and airy. We ordered after about 10mins and were really looking forward to our food. However we had to wait an hour for our main course which was a bit excessive, but looking around the room this seemed the norm as nobody else had received food in that time . After a very long day this did dampen our spirits slightly. However when the food did eventually turn up it was delicious but due to the timings we only had the mains and left. Hopefully this is not the norm as we did enjoy the restaurant and food when it turned up!

Excellent find. Can't fault anything. Staff are very attentive, and all seemed very happy to be there. Makes all the difference to a diner

The food here was amazing. I had the steak and ale pie and it was jam packed with meat. Staff super friendly and helpful and the prices are more than fair for what you get.

First time here won’t be the last went with friends all had different starters and mains big portions all very tasty service was lovely very friendly will be returning soon

Lovely setting. Staff very helpful,friendly and welcoming. Food was wonderful

Why are dogs allowed on seats in the lounge bar area? Not very hygienic. What next ?won't eat here again!

Lovely food , helpful.very.friendly staff . Great atmosphere.

We are regulars here, staff are so friendly, and the food is excellent 👌

This is a beautiful pub, with great seating outside, we were lucky to be here on a sunny day and sit outside. Service was very promt with polite staff.

Great food. Great atmosphere and staff that make you feel welcome and look after you till the minute you leave. Always look forward to going back.

An upmarket pub with excellent beers wines and a great food menu. One of the best Sunday lunches in wirral.

Whole experience was fantastic, favourite pub/restaurant on wirral. Recommended

Big family get-together. Food was delicious, lovely friendly, but professional staff looked after us really well. Thanks everyone.

Absolutely beautiful meal here. I can't praise the lovely staff team enough. They were really friendly and welcoming. The service was fabulous and the atmosphere in the fox and hounds easy and relaxed. I'd highly recommend.

Food was absolutely amazing and will definitely be back again for another Sunday roast. Some of the staff not very attentive or quick would be my only downfall.

Really good Sunday lunch at The Fox & Hounds. Really well cooked and plenty of it. Friendly service and nice atmosphere. Was busy which is always a good sign. Highly recommended.

Exceptional. Delightful staff, great beer, super-tasty grub.

Just visited with family who travelled from across the country. There were 11 of us and we were seated in an excellent location with a dog included. The staff were brilliant and everyone in the group was impressed with both the welcome and attention of the staff and the superb food on offer. We ordered a good selection from the menu with a great range of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks as well. Superb and fantastic we will be back soon.

Yet again excellent food and service.

Good selection of beers. Menu looks good. Quiet when visited. Great outdoor area.

Beautiful food. Freshly cooked, quality ingredients 👏

Great food, service and atmosphere. Would’ve been 5 stars - but looking at our bill afterwards they had charged me for a dish that was sent back which was not ordered. A bit disappointing, with a table of 12 people was not the cheapest. We did have a great time though.

Great little pub this and the food was delicious. Hopefully we'll be passing again soon but if not we'll have to make a special trip.

Our server was lovely, very helpful, and checked on us regularly even though they were busy. We didn't wait long for our starters, soup was delicious & the freshly baked bread was lovely. Garlic bread was like a small loaf of bread, very yummy. Main meals were amazing, burger, chunky chips, freshly made onion rings & creamy coleslaw, delicious. Fish, chips & mushy peas were great. Big portions, so we did not have dessert, but they did look appetising. Would highly recommend visiting this place, always busy so book before going.

Best steak pie around within a hundred miles.

Nice place . Food is always good here in my experience . Beer well kept too . 👍

Good quality food. Tasty delicious. Recommended.

It was a busy Sunday, we hadn't booked but it was no problem at all, staff were friendly and very accommodating so we were squeezed in on a 1 hour slot. We ordered 3 different roasts, all delicious. We will definitely return again 🙂👍.

Fab Sunday lunch, definitely the best on the wirral. Friendly helpful staff

Came for grandma's birthday meal, arrived at 6:30. Starters didn't arrive until 7:20, and we only spoke to the serving staff member as a result of her serving a table next to us that came in after us. Food came shortly after and was cold. The main then came 30 minutes after the plates were taken from the starter. Shame really because after we asked about our food, the serving staff were very abrupt and seemed annoyed we had asked.

A wonderful place to dine or just pop in for a drink. Very friendly staff, lovely surroundings and plenty of choice. A really nice outside area, a great little bar and seating area at the back, or a wonderful conservatory for dining, this place has it all. Great menu and nice to see that they support local breweries also, as well as a good selection of beers, wine, rum and whisky!

We met my disabled cousin for lunch as the facilities are fine for him. Our meals were excellent, service efficient and welcoming. Well done 👏

Lovely country pub, tasty beer and friendly service. Didn't eat but the food *looked* amazing!

We had a really delicious meal at this pretty country pub if you are looking for something a little bit special I would recommend

Lovely pub,great assortment of beers,fantastic atmosphere

A lovely meal in great surroundings with lovely staff - most enjoyable and I would highly recommend. We are going back and have rebooked

The pub itself was warm and welcoming, with a nice atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I could see it being a really nice local to have a drink at. The food itself was quite dissapointing, especially for the price which was quite steep for the quality. We had a selection of courses, some of which were a lot better than others. The roasts were recommended; the soups and cheese selection were also nice, with a good variety; the pie and gravy was very dense and salty which we wouldn't have again.

Really sorry to say this have been going to this pub for many years have'nt been for a while was shocked to be charged £13.05p for one double vodka coke and one pint of trappers hat sorry wont be going back anymore

Food was amazing, very tastey and fresh. The service was great, the waiting staff were very friendly. Definitely one to come back to.

We had a wonderful afternoon with friends. We have been there twice and each time found it the most enjoyable experience. The lovely pub and the plants in the garden are beautiful. Well worth a visit. 🐶 Friendly 😁

Very, very nice pub/restaurant really nicely done. Great atmosphere. Nice big fire going. Friendly staff. The food was really nice. A little on the more expensive side.

We had a very enjoyable Sunday meal ….Faultless.

Foòd excellent, unfortunately had to wait nearly an hour for it. Pub full, obviously very popular 😀

Fantastic food and service. Definitely worth a visit.

Great service and food. Great Sunday lunch.

Unfortunately, I few small errors with service. Politely, rectified.

Great Sunday Roast. Fab roasties and humongous Yorkshire puds. 😋

Went for late lunch, the menu and food were excellent, service was good. A little niggle with the table for two being somewhat crammed in the corner, this would have been OK and understandable if all other tables were in use, but they were not.

Excellent food, the quality is amazing. A very quaint pub. Always busy and very popular. Table service is very good. Large car park, with two accessible car spaces. A bit tight inside if you need good access though. Worth a visit for the food alone.

This is an excellent pub and restaurant. I'm pleased to say that it still retains the old, traditional bar room as well as a smart restaurant. The food is well presented and really delicious and the portions generous. Yes, you can find cheaper eateries but you're unlikely to find better value. Service is spot on as well. Overall, I can't fault it. Highly recommended.

I've been coming here for many years, I remember when we used to have our lunch in the bar. Over the past few years it has really expanded quite a bit, especially when they built the new conservatory on the side and extended outdoor seating and car park. I brought my walking group here today and they all ordered different meals and all 8 of them commented that they were all excellent. That's not good luck that's talent. I would recommend the Chicken Mughlai and the Steak and ale pie.

The burger was dripping with grease all over the plate, the onion rings and chips were also very very greasy far to oily, deep fat fryer obvs gets alot of action in this pub kitchen

As ever excellent food & service, staff always cheerful & very attentive.

Now thats what i called a steak pie - fabulous!

The chicken curry only had 3 pieces of chicken i dont believe there was even 4oz. It was tasty but should have been a squash curry with chicken

Food took a while to arrive but it was worth the wait. Obviously freshly prepared. Would recommend a visit without hesitation!

It's just about my favourite place to eat and sample the real ales and wine. We had a large round table with the fire beside up and views out into the gardens and beyond. Always a great experience

I had an excellent fish and chips my partner had steak pie and it was also very good.

Visited Tuesday, early evening, to celebrate my mum in laws birthday. The staff were extremely helpful and considerate. The food was excellent, it was served piping hot and in good time from ordering. The variety of the menu was brilliant, if you go for the steak & ale be prepared it is a proper pie 👍 I would highly recommend this pub for its food, atmosphere and its ales, will definitely be calling again.

Lovely place. By the open fire. Singer, guitarist was great. Historic pub 🍻 dogs welcome Clean loos Disabled access

Good food. Great place. Attentive staff.

We arrived with no booking but got seated quickly. The lady who showed us to the table and took our orders was really nice. Food was delicious. We both had clean plates and loved it

Good pub, good food. I’d highly recommend trying this place. Busy atmosphere and not rushed. Each time been a good 2/3 hours enjoying a meal. Staff have always accommodated every request, even when I messed up and booked the wrong day they sorted it for me. The pie is one of the best ones I’ve had since the cottage loaf in Llandudno (also amazing). Give it a try.

Recently had a staff Xmas meal at the F&H. Good service, one of the best turkey dinners I have had. Pleasant atmosphere. However, the only downside is the price of the wine! Highly recommended.

Delicious steak pie! Service was great as well

Best Rib-eye steak and chips I've had in many years. Faultless.
