The Fox and Hounds Public House in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Great food, great staff. All food ordered for all 6 of us was amazing steak and ale pie was the best ever tasted, scampi, cod, sausage and mash, best chips in a long time. Great quality and service.

The food was absolutely fantastic, didn't expect top quality food from a local pub. The outside decor should not be judged. The beef stifado was the best I've ever had. The pie is to die for. Sticky toffee pudding was the icing on the cake

We stayed at Hunstanton Camping & Glamping and Nigel recommended The Fox to us, we are so glad we took up his recommendation as we had a lovely time here and the food was great!

To be honest, it looked a bit rough from the outside and a bit inside, too, but we visited on 3 evenings, whilst in the area, and had no problems with either the clientele or the staff, who were very welcoming and helpful. There is a restaurant out the back and, although we didn't eat there, the food that was served in the bar looked good. Give it a shot!

Very old fashioned local pub , fantastic friendly local. fantastic food , parking , very dog friendly

A really lovely, friendly pub serving amazing food and great beer. The staff go out of their way to ensure you have a great visit

Had fabulous evening meal last night. First class ingredients. Nice sized portions and 50% off mains on Monday and Tuesday,s.The sausages and mash was Devine. As were my husbands Gammon ham 2 eggs and chips. The small bottles of wine were delicious. Lovely friendly staff. Well done

When visiting Heacham for a few days we had two evening meals at the Fox & Hounds. Both times the food was lovely. Even better was that they were offering a 50% discount on a variety of food on Mondays and Tuesdays if purchased with an alcoholic drink. Unfortunately the restaurant was almost empty so there was no atmosphere but would still recommend.

The food here is all home made and very nice. The staff are very polite and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and the Thursday curry night is worth a visit when things are back to normal

We came here to try the in-house ales on a Saturday afternoon and catch the football results. The girl behind the bar was friendly as were the locals but sadly I wasn’t a fan of the ales. The pubs a little run down but nice enough to pop in for a drink.

Food is disgusting. Don't waist your money folks . The landlord is rude to his customers . There are nicer pubs in heacham to go .

A lovely, traditional pub! Very good food lunchtime and evening. A very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. A particular feature of the pub is live music of a very high standard.

We have been visiting the Fox & Hounds for a number of years and the food is very good especially the home made specials, the live band nights are a treat as there are not many places that do this for free, there is a quiz night on a Thursday which is a good night out. We have always found the staff to be friendly and we enjoy our visits there.

We visited the fox and hound this evening, with our 2 children.When the food came out, the chips were all hard, not cooked. The lasagne was very watery and treated horrible. My steak was undercooked, I asked for medium rare, it came out totally uncooked in the middle. We told the boss about all of this and he was rude. We refused to pay and the children went hungry. Avoid.

Not the best pub we've ever visited but not the worst either. Cheap pool table, reasonably priced drinks, even tried the locally brewed ciders - nice, strong! - jukebox in need of major updating as is the decor, but it does the necessary as a good value pub as long as you don't expect the Ritz!

Had a couple of meals here while staying the area. Good honest pub grub.There is an extensive specials board as well. Service was good

We’ve become fairly regular diners at the Fox & Hounds and as well as it’s usual menu, it offers a great range of specials which often include some exotic and incredibly tasty dishes. There’s a weekly curry night on a Thursday and the home cooked curries are delicious. Sunday lunch is superb and a real treat with a choice of meats and vegetarian options and lots of lovely freshly cooked vegetables. We particularly like that there’s a choice of eating in the separate restaurant area or in the bar itself as they have a policy of not allowing children under the age of 14 in the bar area. It does make a refreshing change to have a choice whether to enjoy dinner and drinks without young children being around. The staff who work here are always very welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The beer is particular good and includes those brewed in their own on-site brewery. We really look forward to our next visit.

Not somewhere I’d go back too. It has its own brewery but the pint I had was awful. The place is in need of some TLC. Try the Bushel and Strike or the West Norfolk first would be my advice.

Thank goodness! This place has not been done up. The bar side of it has received little attention for several years, but is no worse for that. The restaurant room at the back has a bare floor and basic pine tables, but the food was very good. We had the roast beef Sunday lunch - with 9 different vegetables on the plate! We will definitely be back whenever we are in Heacham. Please don't modernise the Fox and Hounds.

Call in for drink with friends, polite and helpful staff ,not very busy but had a great band on red zebra

Just popped in on the off chance of getting some lunch and was impressed with the choice, however we opted for the home made Liver and onions and 2 desserts and wow, totally superb, well cooked and very tasty and at a cost of less than £20 for the two of us.

Empty restaurant on a Saturday night is not a good sign. I had veg lasagne but was disappointed as it had obviously been microwaved as topping was dried up and crusty, but dish was swimming in watery liquid. I do get fed up with poor quality vegetarian food whilst on holiday. The lad serving us was very young but jolly.

Friendly dsog friendy pub with some good live music and the excellent Fox's ales brewed on site, highly recomend the golden ale. Decent menu choice too

attended for evening meal - food and service ok but this appears to be a local village pub and local most unfriendly and we were made to feel unwelcome by them , most appeared to be local workers

Popped into The Fox today for lunch.

My wife and I stopped off whilst on a cycle ride of the area. Although they were very, very busy, they fitted us in. The staff were very friendly and the customer service was first class.

Popper old fashioned scruffy local boozer great if you like your real ale some of wich brewed over the other side of the car park. Great locals and atmosphere although I'm not a fan of a Pool Table in the main bare area. Were going to eat but decided not too was very busy and noisy due to Friday drinking crowd. Could maybe do with a bit of clean to keep my wife happy but to be fair a pub just the way I like it !

First visit to a lovely pub on the road between Fakenham and Swaffham in North Norfolk. A wonderful welcome from two brothers who run the Fox & Hounds and you immediately know they are not Norfolk but from our birth place of Essex. We felt right at home. The food is ordered from a blackboard and is fairly simple offering roasts (as it was a Sunday), pies, fish & chips and ham, egg and chips. The service was very good and the food was perfect. We finished with a sweet from a good selection on another blackboard. The cost for mains is £7.95 so very good value and they have a good selection of beers. The toilets through the public bar were very clean and maintained.

For two nights I ate here and very much enjoyed their signature Fox & Hounds steak and ale pie. First night with Chips (pictured) and the second night with vegetables and mash.

Had a great meal here and welcomed our two labs with open arms too. Very welcoming and highly recommend the steak and ale pie but make sure you are starving as comes will perfectly cooked veg and mash

We have just returned from a meal with my Mum and Dad at The Fox . We had our table booked for 1:30 and arrived a little early but we were happy to wait. We had to attract waiting staff to re order drinks and it seemed there were only two staff serving so not as attentive as I would have liked , but a busy day so overlooked. Main courses were tasty if not presented in the best way.When we had finished our mains we were asked if we would like dessert and were pointed in the direction of the menu . Five minutes later at 2:15, just 45 mins after our table of 6 was booked the waiter came out and told us the kitchen had closed so no desserts and would we like the bill !! Not even an ice cream for my five year old !! Never have I heard of a restaurant kitchen closing before they had fulfilled all the orders for the tables that had booked . Making money or keeping customers happy seems not to be a priority. We all left disappointed and will certainly not be returning.

We love the atmosphere in this place. We have visited quite a few times over the last 10 years and have always felt welcome. We visited for the summer beer festival (and gin) and were not disappointed. We ate here twice as well and food was good quality with good sized portions

Fuimos a lo largo de la última noche de Fox para la sesión de ADN principalmente sin embargo nosotros hacíamos mermelada una mesa en la zona de bar y tenía una hamburguesa cada una que disfrutamos mucho. De buena calidad. . . . Buena cantidad..

No soy un local por decir, pero un propietario estática caravana en North Beach Heacham. He usado este pub en varias ocasiones, pero sólo para una bebida, no para comer, así que no puedo comentar sobre la comida. El pub en sí tiene una enorme variedad de cervezas Lager, y una gran variedad de ginebras bastante. La gente es siempre amable como el personal, y mi esposa y yo siempre nos sentimos bienvenidos. hay una ventaja y una desventaja para algunos. La ventaja es la caballeros, que en muchos lugares puede ser muy desagradable, pero aquí estaba muy limpio y ordenado, con jabón de mano y secador. El inconveniente es (aunque no me afecta personalmente) es que no se permiten niños menores de 14 años permitidos en la zona del bar, pero puede ser en la zona de restaurante. En general un muy buen pub local.

La comida en el menú y especiales son buenas, pero el almuerzo de domingo es bastante decepcionante. Las verduras son siempre demasiado cocido. Muchos pubs sirven verduras en un plato aparte, lo mismo con salsa, aquí es paquete en el plato. El personal es siempre muy agradable.

Fuimos para una comida de domingo llevamos a amigos con nosotros todo el plato principal era la comida rápida no tallado de carne muy soso. No es el alcohol normal

Llegó aquí en un capricho, en un banco de vacaciones! Gestión local y muy amable. La auténtica comida de pub británico a un precio muy razonable. Los lugareños y encargado extremadamente agradable! Merece una visita :).

Called in for a late lunchtime drink after a long hot journey.Bar staff welcoming and very helpful.Booked for the curry night as the dining room looked good,two courses for a set amount.Waiting staff cheerful and efficient.Starter nicely presented with salad.Curry and poppadom enjoyable.Naan bread dreadful,not cooked correctly.Only problem is that the service door bangs constantly when the staff are serving. It is quite irritating and could easily be attended to.Owner chef came from kitchen to speak to locals,he could have acknowledged other diners.The bar and frontage could be cleaned up a bit,toilets clean.

We visited today and whilst their beer is OK the attitude towards having kids under 14 was like going back to the 80s. When we were advised to use the beer garden (filling by a grotty marque which smelt of urine and puke) or front seating (in the car park / lovely) we felt like outcastsWhen will pubs realise that all kids are not little snot bags and inviting families in turns a better profit than the curmudgeonly old bar flies who were holding up the bar. Shame on you

Great pub full,of locals , and excellent real ale served by friendly staff.Pub brews its own beer, which is to be recommended

A good local pub with a selection of real ales and their own mico brewery, we have been there several times over the last few years and never felt really welcome.For the first time we decided to eat in the restaurant and it was what I would say nice not outstanding but not bad either.The owners have not bothered to claim this listing and that just about sums this place up , it needs a bit more enthusiasm from the owners.

Average pub within walking distance of Guest house. They serve food which again was average bit nice, friendly owners

Saturday is steak night! Variety of beers on offer we had booked into the restaurant for 8pm and table was ready when we arrived! Steaks were cooked to perfection all as per ordered! I like mine medium to rare! Apple pie with lashings of custard!!

Very friendly pub great choice of beers excellent food, very reasonable, and very good service and no kids in the bar A Proper Pub.

Quick service, great food and drinks, reasonably cheap, pool table, darts and TV's to watch some good old football from the Barclay's Premier League. Also very friendly staff such as Dean, they also have lovely dogs to stroke and cuddle. Definitely recommend this pub/public house.

Lovely. Great old traditional village boozer with original stained glass windows. A nice meal..the chef came and asked me how I would like my steak, (since Im very particular.. haha...) and he delivered. The menu is basic but the specials were interesting and varied. We ate, chatted to the barman about the regional real ale he had available and played a few games of pool to the accompaniment of our juke box choices and the quiet chatter of the locals at the bar, all of whom passed the time of day with us.

Whilst it's a short walk from the Bach the evenin meals here are amazing value and so good the whole family finds a dish they want

Attempted to visit this public house for a few drinks then possibly some food, my wife, my baby, my dog and myself.Upon arrival it took a while to get to the bar due to a lot of people surrounding the bar and not really willing to move.Then once able to ask the bar man if we could come in the answer was pretty much No.No dogs in the restaurant and no children in the bar so unable to go in.I afterwards read on trip advisor somebody else had this problem and apparently children aren't allowed in the bar because of one incident with children and the pool table, shame fox and hounds penalising everyone when you should have just dealt with the problem.Anyway it was the fox and hounds loss as we ended up finding somewhere else and we spent 4 lovely evenings in the Bushel and Strike (lovely, welcoming pub)

Hidden gem ignore its tired looks the brewery and food are very good. Staff have a smile are friendly helpful and value customers. Food was fresh tasty and hot. Drinks came quickly, kids were welcomed and best of all the locally brewed beer exceptionally tasty

Friendly pub with their own real ale brewery. Plenty of entertainment including quiz nights and live music evenings

We visited this pub for dinner one evening whilst staying in the local Park Resorts holiday camp over the May bank holiday.We booked our table of 9 in advance and was surprised upon arrival that the restaurant part of the pub (which is an extension onto the back of the original pub) was empty.The menu selection of specials was a nice treat, along with the menu choice.The food took a while to arrive, but was worth the wait.We were all pleased with our meals. The waitress was very welcoming and chatty too. :)

Went to Fox and Hounds last night with husband and 4 good friends. Food was really good crab starter excellent, Fish pie excellent and eton mess you could die for !!! Congratulations to all the friendly and professional staff.

We hired a room here on Sunday afternoon to celebrate my cousins 50th Birthday and were far from disappointed!The food is fresh, tasty and plenty of it! The staff are friendly and helpful and the pub is a good size. The weather was nice so the children went off into the garden to play.All in all a great family pub with a variety of dishes! Dont miss out on the Sunday lunch and 'death by chocolate' yum!Thanks so much for a lovely afternoon, I hope to be back soon!

Friendly, no frills back street local. We went for the in-house ales, which did not disappoint. Go here for good beer not for a romantic or upmarket ambience!

We have just visited the Fox and Hounds for the first time. The experience was fantastic, the staff were all friendly and the food was some of the best pub grub we have had. Good reasonable prices and the plates were full. They were happy to children in the restaurant with a good varied menu for them.

Fox Micro brewery produces excellent beers, great music nights. Garden great in the warmer months. Beer festivals good with outdoor barbeques.

As always had an excellent night at the Fox. We especially enjoyed the good beer brewed on site and great crack with the locals!

We had a holiday home in Heacham for 10+ years and during this time Mark and Marie took over the Pub,and what a fantastic job they have made of it .A real british pub with a good selection of drinks including some great beers from their on site Micro-Brewery,coupled with a excellent restaurant at the rear offering great quality food and service in a pleasant atmosphere.During our time there we made many friends with both locals and staff and look forward to visiting again.

This was a very pleasant surprise, for the Staff were very welcoming and friendly, explaining what the Pub was all about, different groups had things going on different nights, and normally live music, twice weekly, just like the good times of the past, well done to keep the traditions of Village pub life going.The food was described to us as being home made and the Ale was varied some brewed next door in a small Micro brewery, so plenty of choice on both counts, my wife and I both had the hand cut Ham,with usual trimmings and it came up as we had been informed, more than sufficient to keep us going until, the next day. The locals were chatty and friendly, so all in all we had a very pleasant two hours, and the costs were very reasonable, would fully recommend a visit if your in the area and looking for some good home cooked/made Pub food. Well done to all involved will, call in again when visiting the area, many thanks again.

We both had steak and ale pie topped with short crust pastry. Best pie ever stuffed with steak. Staff are very frendly and welcoming.Lovely clean restaurant. Very good value for money. A good selection of real ales.

Great ales, great staff, great crack, great pub. What more can I say! Marie and Mark provide a warm welcome to regulars and tourists alike and the Fox Brewery ales are so good we brought a couple of boxes full of bottled beers home with us!

Even though I live in Hunstanton and have a 10 minute drive ( and therefore don't drink as much as elsewhere) I still regard the Fox as my Local because it is so good. I usually come for the great Live Music, the on-site brewed beer(especially the Nelson's Blood-which I even took back to my previous Local in London to a great reception) and the friendly atmosphere. I have however had a couple of the Sunday Lunches and they were well-cooked and good value and I will have them again. I cannot believe the Chartland 1957 Review "worst...70's pub"-- -- except for the fact that if 1957 was their date of birth the 70's would be their childhood and hence the childish Review! If you want a "Posh Micro Pub/Restaurant" then move on down the Road with my blessing, there are more than enough of them charging the Earth for very small portions and that will be the place for you.

We had a table booked for five when we arrived at the Fox we had another three extra people this was no problem and the staff arranged a large table so we could sit together. Food was lovely big portions all came out together as well as extra potatoes and gravy which we didn't even have to ask for all was enjoyed. We then went through to the pub for drinks after staff at the bar were great, everyone was friendly and we never waited for a drink to be poured. Will definitely be back.

Me and my wife are locals to the area. This is our local and it's a great place to go get away from the kids. I wish there were more pubs like this! No noisy children, and the staff are polite and helpful. Great place to go to have a drink, have a chat and a good banter. If you can say anything bad about this place then you are obviously not the type of people we locals want there.

Decor dated and tired, music left a lot to be desired. If you like microwaved, tasteless food and chips with everything then this is the place for you!

The food was great and the restaurant was newly decorated , light and airy. Do not be put off by the walk through the pub , which is no reflection on what awaits at the rear of the pub. The menu was varied and well served by a very helpful and attentive member of staff.They have their own micro brewery, and the beers are interesting.Good value , good food , good beer.

Wow. Didn't know pubs like this still existed......Visited mid afternoon on a Saturday with half an hour to kill whilst the chip shop opened. Four families, seven kids. Bar went very quiet as we entered, lots of evil looks thrown. Barman waited until after we ordered and paid before telling us kids under 14 not welcome and we had to sit outside on a relatively cold and windy afternoon. Made to feel genuinely unwelcome and uneasy despite putting £25 in the till when the pub was quiet. Guess its a locals only joint - if you're visiting my advice would be to spend your money elsewhere. No shortage of welcoming and family friendly places nearby..

Visited the Fox and Hounds on June 17th 2014. First impression when entering is disappointing. Good selection of real ales and a limited bar food choice. Restaurant at rear of bar very nice, new and very clean. Found a good selection of extra bar meals other than the ones on the sheet. Service very good and the quality and portion size of the food was excellent. Highly recommended.
