The Fox and Hounds Restaurant in Runnymede

Lovely pub with a nice restaurant - set menu was good value, about £23 for 2 courses and £25 for 3. I had the cauliflower soup, tartiflette and chocolate mousse and they were all amazing. Friends had options including the rump steak and said it was amazing too. They bring bread to start, which tastes amazing, and they refill it if you want more. Lovely staff, friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back.

Really enjoyed the location and friendly welcome. A good walk earned a nice pint!

Maybe one to avoid on a Sunday night, the food pretty average, and service was flagging after a long day. Regret paying the 12.5% optional service charge but wasn't feeling rude enough to request its removal

Right on Windsor Great Park (Bishopsgate) with excellent food and great service. As regular visitors to the UK, we make it a point to relax with a beer or cider in this unique setting.

The brunette server lady was very abrupt verging on rude, they got my reservation location wrong, the food took ages to come and the food is misplaced for this location it’s seems almost cafe style food in quality/presentation trying to be ‘“posh” It’s majorly gone down since the previous owner passed, how could they remove a staple like honey mustard sausages? they haven’t got a handle of the clientele at all. Fire your Head Chef, it’s not working.

Excellent beer garden with a well priced set lunch

Fabulous return of the gang, menu and quantity . Lovely welcome from Rashid, you know you are in safe hands when he is on duty. Service was exemplary and food just fabulous. Always lovely to appreciated as a customer and be spoiled. Husband had the snails and I experienced the garlic the next day too!!

Great food. Chicken and chips is superb.

Had a lovely catch up with an old friend whom i've not seen in over a year. We met half way so looked for a nice pub in the middle and opted for this one. Great food location free parking and atmosphere. Never been before. It was right next to Great Windsor Park if the Royal Family are your thing. Certainly not mine. Kate was our waitress and couldnt fault her. Dog friendly too. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very enjoyable lunch today. The fish pie was very special.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here on 15 Sept and could not fault the food or service. Would happily pay a return visit.

I had an amazing dining experience here, since the pub has been under new ownership. The food is exceptional with very attentive service and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!

lovely food and staff ,sat outside in the sunshine

Food was acceptable not outstanding. Service was good. However the prices are not just steep but vertical. Meal for four, no wine, one person on soft drinks and the bill came in at £189.00 Far too high for the standard of food. This also included an automatic 12.5 percent service charge. Simple not acceptable for us.

Used to love the fresh pizza-oven pizzas! Such a shame they’ve stopped doing them. Was hoping the new ownership/menu would have more plant-based options keeping up with the times but sadly it doesn’t seem so… Fingers crossed it will expand the options as I’ll miss going!

Had lovely lunch here after a walk through the park. Super friendly and attentive without being intrusive service. Delicious food, not your typical pub grub. Would highly recommend and hope to return again.

Good enough food and good enough service. Fair enough pricing for the location, I guess. Far from cheap, but not extortionate either. We ate outside under the canopy, which was nice. I'd probably go again based on what we had. We had the fish pie, ribeye steak and a salmon starter.

£42 inc tip for 3 starters - so so sooo expensive, even for London pricing that’s steep. Food was nice but not worth that.

Great lunch thanks new menu from the last time we visited had the pot roasted chicken which was delicious

Unfortunately not many veggie options on the current menu (just one veg main). Roasted cod priced at £29 is very steep. Service was friendly but surprised to see a charge of 12.5%. Overall had a pleasant time however the prices do not reflect a very ordinary eating establishment and service.

Perfect place to walk to when doing the Long Walk. It is about a 3 mile walk from the castle down the long walk, turn left at the big statue, and beautiful walk through the Great Park to the restaurant. You can always have them call you a car so you don’t have to walk back. The service was also delightful. Very attentive and friendly. If you get lucky, you just might spot a member of the royal family on their horse near the pub!

Really enjoyed it. Used to be like crufts with dogs everywhere but now can have my food with a bit of peace. Beautiful pub and setting.

5 of us went for a birthday meal and the food was delicious. Good wine list too and we had a few bottles :-). Sat outside on the terrace under a nice canopy. Strongly recommend.

We only stopped in for a quick drink after walking the long walk from Windsor Castle and the pub was lovely. Nice atmosphere, the outdoor area is very appealing. The food also smelled amazing.

Purely 3 as the prices are in line with the local and very near hotel, exceptionally high as a result, but not marketed at locals so who am I to judge

Sadly since this pub was sold a few weeks ago, it's not what it used to be. They stopped serving between 3-5pm, to presumably give the kitchen a break, it's literally your job as a pub to serve food 🤦🏻‍♀️ they stopped serving pizzas, and take away pizzas, which were delicious with fresh ingredients; they hiked their prices, it's now £79 for a côte de Boeuf (the cow is already btw, you just have to cook it not kill it so not sure why it's so high); £11 for a grilled sandwich they called a "croque monsieur" and they put brie in the burger. Who wants brie in their burger. It's shameful, and putting french ingredients on a menu to make it sounds better and rack the prices up, is highly insulting. It would be cheaper for me to travel to France for the day, and actually get good decent steak and food, it will be absolutely cheaper and it would be much nicer. No disrespect to the chef there, the management has lost their mind. Sadly there is more, they don't allow dogs inside anymore nor push chairs in the restaurant (how are you supposed to do?!) and they certainly don't allow horses like the previous owner who sadly passed away. They have tables in front of it. They broke something which was working and full of life with caring waitressed and management, which got rid of, and didn't suss out properly their clientele. It's a real shame it's no longer about community and atmosphere, but about the big bucks. I do not recommend.

We had a lunchtime menu we ordered a large salad just under£20 and a croque monsieur with chips. The salad was very disappointing, there was hardly anything in it just green leaves and some avocado and they forgot the figs. We did ask for some and they brought them to us. We used to love the goats cheese salad and fish and chips neither of which was on the new menu The staff were attentive and the seating arrangement was very well done. Maybe they have changed the chefs it was expensive for what we had and disappointing.

It’s too expensive!! Way way too expensive.

First off it is great to see this local re open after the previous owners made the snap decision to close. However food is not up to the previous high standards many had come to know and love. After placing our order we waited about an hour to be served - perhaps a little more than we would have expected - but they were quite busy. Looking at the mains most were just shy of £25 with a couple of dishes just below £20. So, at this pitch for pub grub I would have expected something special but alas all of our food whilst OK was nothing special and seemed a little just above average. But given the price point it is safe to say you can do better locally for probably £5 less per main! The Cruzcampo was an outrageous £7.15 a pint - the is London price+ !!! All in all whilst great to see this place re open - it lacks the sheen it once had and you will be charged over £30 a head for a main and 1 drink! Luckily for the Fox & Hounds there is not a rating for value.

Great location for a pint or coffee

We walked in for a quiet Sunday meal, as being seated, staff arrived to say the kitchen closed as they were backed up with orders. Definitely book in advance before arriving.

Lovely atmosphere and great service, but the food was average at best and extortionate for what it was. I had a burger (because it was the cheapest thing on the menu and I was just after a quick dinner with my children) and that was £19! The chips were undercooked and the burger itself, whilst looking quite impressive, was quite average to eat. I get the impression the clientele don't care about the price of things here, they all oozed money, sadly the pub itself seem to have taken advantage of this - dishing out basic food for insane prices

It is disappointing that dogs are now barred from the covered outside area - it used to be so dog-friendly. The menu we were offered this week no longer had healthy options, just heavy pub food although online today, it appears there are 2 salads available!

The food used to be great and for those on dog walks a large outdoor space for all, however now it’s a really limited French menu and only a few tables allowed for dogs. Such a shame as was a great pub.

Much less friendly since new management have taken over. No longer space for horses and more restrictions on dogs which is a shame when it is a country pub on the edge of a park full of horse riders and dog walkers.

Lovely pub, omelet and chips after exercising in the park next door. Smashing place in the sun!

Excellent food and great service . Will definitely be back soon

3 of us visited today and the two of us that had the lamb roast ended up on the toilet very quickly after. £30 for courses was a little expensive and even if we did not need an emergency visit to the toilet it was a poor roast dinner. Sorry 1st and last visit.

Excellent would recommend & dog friendly

The food is first-rate~especially the fish cake...

Excellent service, thank you, Excellent food, too. Thank you.

Really lovely pub / restaurant tucked away on a quiet road. The service was perfect. Attentive but not intrusive. Good range of food to choose from on the menu. Very nice touch that they realised we were celebrating and asked the occasion. We got the pudding in the photo for my daughter who had just graduated. Nice touch - thank you!

Great food, lovely location, not cheap

New manager is very rude. Not child friendly at all and very unwelcoming to families. Best avoided.

I have been visiting The Fox and Hounds for over 30 years, with several management changes. This is the first time I have felt unwelcome by the new manager and probably will not return. The food was tasteless and below average. Dogs owners are made to fell unwelcome and are not allowed in the garden area, but just in the area directly infront of the pub. Our dog made a small whine, not even a bark, while we were finding our seat . The manager stated that dogs who made noise were not allowed, as other customers would complain. I have never heard anybody complain about dogs in the pub, especially as it is next to Windsor Great Park and previously was full of dog owners. As I was waiting for our food, I then heard the manager or possibly owner saying to other guests, that they wanted wealthy people to come and drink wine at the pub and these kind of customers didn't want dogs around them. Well this gentleman needs to realise that dog owners are also wealthy customers and they are quiet happy to be surrounded by them. I fear that this is no longer the pub to pop into after a nice walk around the park and will be taking my business to the gastropub on Crimp Hill.

I don’t write reviews, good or bad because generally can’t be bothered but the only good thing about our dinner this evening was the company, everything else was terrible. Used to love coming to this pub, yes it was always on the more expensive side but the food was good, good size portions with a welcoming team. In fact we went most weekend after our group dog walks. Now, couldn’t be more opposite if it tried. It’s a country English pub, now trying to be an on obnoxious French boutique. Extortionate prices, small portion sizes, you’d get more at a Michelin star tasting menu! States dog friendly, barely, incredibly rude manager informed us of this when we turned up for dinner in the outside area, only to be told they’re now only allowed in a tiny unsheltered area. And as for horse friendly, not sure where the horse would go anymore as they’ve crammed lots of benches into the small ‘dog friendly’ space, obviously very animal welcoming people….:.. I don’t mind paying expensive prices if the food was good but it was not. The burger was rare but still dry (obviously bad quality meat), fish pie was ridiculously small for £23, the petit Camembert starter came with cucumber, lettuce and pepper to eat it with for £13, the £5 side salad was literally about a quarter of a bag of mixed leaves you’d get from Tesco - nothing else to it!!! The one vegetarian meal that is on the menu, they did not have. After dinner coffee was then ordered with the desserts, but never brought out, until we asked, there were maybe 3 other tables with customers… NOT busy. Overall an incredibly disappointing dinner. Will not be returning and feel that the new owners/management do not understand the wants of the locals so will be surprised if the business lasts.

Very disappointed with the new management, extremely rude upon arrival. Food was expensive and not great pub food like it has been previously. To stop dogs being allowed in eating area that is under the canopy is a mistake and will lose so much business as everyone walks their dogs in great Windsor park. Was a great place to grab lunch or dinner after a walk. No space for horses to be tied up like previous or head collars and hay for horses. Unfortunately it has lost the English country pub vibe. Menu is limited and they have tried to be fancy. I don’t think it will last. Sad times… another great pub gone wrong.

Very pleased to find this pub after a very very long walk up the long walk . Had a nice croque mademoiselle and the dogs enjoyed the garden

Lovely gastro pub at the edge of Windsor Park. Nice food if a bit pricey.

Fantastic! So happy Rashid and his team have reopened their restaurant at the Fox and Hounds, went there Friday for an early dinner, food was great as always, service was excellent and the new location is perfect! Book a table for lunch or dinner and take a walk in the beautiful royal park that is on the doorstep, you will not be disappointed!!

Hooray!!!!!!! Our favourite restaurant has reopened in Englefield Green at the beautiful Fox and Hounds. This moved from Sunninghill a while ago. My husband went a couple of weeks ago and had a great lunch and I went with a friend on Friday for an early dinner. The outside space was buzzing as the restaurant started filling up. I noticed there were quite a few old faces sitting down for dinner all happy to be back with Rashid and his fabulous team. The food was just as good as it always was and the eye for detail and service excellent. This is in such a great location, book a table for lunch or dinner and take a walk before or after in the beautiful royal park. Welcome back Rashid, and thank you for giving us a great night! Best regards Debbie And Peter Woodward

Sunday roast for 6 friends, good portion size and reasonable price, both delicious and good value. Only issue was parking was difficult, with car park and street full due to extra Xmas time demand.

What a shame! Disappointed.. This used to be one of our favourite pubs but since new ownership it has sadly gone down hill. The menu is now French bistro style and it is average at best. We both ordered the croque monsieur with a side of French fries. The sandwich was average with a lack of seasoning. The quality was also disappointing with wafer thin ham and hovis bread. The fries didn’t arrive until we had nearly finished and they were not fully cooked.

Poor food,service and value for money.

We called in without a reservation and were greeted by friendly, helpful staff who found us a table in the comfortable restaurant. My friend and I are both vegetarian and we chose a pizza. The wild mushroom and truffle pizza was delicious and I tried my friend's Vegetariana pizza which was equally tasty. The menu had a great selection of starters and mains, the puddings sounded delicious too but we were full up from the perfectly cooked pizza and yummy chips. There's a good sized carpark and paid parking in a quiet road. Will definitely be visiting again.

Under new management, just opened yesterday, everything was lovely, can highly recommend. Food was very good, prices good value too, a nice set menu and lovely to sit outside in the sunshine. The staff were all very friendly and the owner came out to say hello too. Will definitely be going back.

Had a nice meal and staff looked after us all evening

The pub disappointingly is closed with no advice when it will reopen! Personally I think this is very bad for business! Makes one wonder!

Four of us ate 3 roasts, one burger and chips. We ate at 6pm on a Sunday. The burger was dry with little filling and the chips were dry and insipid. My roast chicken was succulent as was the other. Chris’s lamb was dry and so was his mother in sauce. The roast potatoes were not very roasted. Gravy was good and gluten free as was my meal. The service was OK. In all , it was an ok place to go to get fed and have a drink

It’s a wonderful location and I assume the only reason the pub survives, as it’s not the food or service that keeps it open. Food ok - overpriced for what they were, service - what service? Meals bought out in stages (not together) some of the group had a 10 minute wait. Drinks we got them ourselves from the bar! No checks or apologies for the staggered food delivery, no ‘was the food nice - would you like to see the desert menu etc…. - all what you’d typically expect if a restaurant (what they market themselves as) is looking after its guests. Hence my dismay at being charged 12.5% of the bill for ‘service’ - then when questioning this at payment- was abruptly told ‘don’t come back if you don’t like paying for service’ by the stuck up older waitress. I don’t mind paying for anything , service included, if I get it - what I don’t expect is to be charged for something I didn’t get and to simply be told go away we don’t need your business and we’ll charge whatever we want, This pub used to be nice

Food was ok - 2 mains came out 10 minutes after other 3 meals, service is optional (on the menu) but mandatory upon payment! I don’t mind paying a service charge if service is provided, but 12.5% for bringing out 5 plates , no checking or follow up whilst eating and then arguing over it as we leave. Stuck up waitress told us if we didn’t like paying for her definition of‘service’ then we shouldn’t go back. Rest assured - we won’t be!

Delicious food, great service and enjoyable afternoon.

Beautiful pub, nice location. Food is unfortunately a disappointment, Sunday roast chicken very dry and the fish and chips doughy and greasy.

Happy restaurant, staff lovely food 10/10

Great pub. Lovely venue and fantastic outdoor seating areas.

This is truly a favorite of mine! Lovely place for everyone, with fantastic food, drink, service and atmosphere! Here you can get the peace and quiet you are looking for in the countryside. Coming all the way from Norway to be able to relax here. Have been here several times and I look forward to all the future visits🇬🇧🇳🇴. Thank you very much.

Great pub food. Decent service. A lovely place to go for a walk in Windsor Park and a well deserved lunch!

Very quiet but good service and good food at reasonable prices.

Probably the most elegant pub in the area. Best enjoyed after a very long walk from Windsor - take a Long Walk from the Windsor Palace grounds. Many tables and covered outside tables. A superb wine list, pet friendly. Note limited parking.

Great family pub. Perfect if you've got kids and dogs. We didn't eat but the food looked solid. Would highly recommend after a good walk

Gastropub in a prime location for walkers and locals alike. Hidden gem near the copper horse. I always stop in when I'm nearby.

Didn't have food pub was lovely

The food was lovely but portion sizes were too small for the price they were sold at. I purchased 3 sides of chips and 3 cokes for my children and it cost me 30 quid. 3 cokes on tap costing 15 pound is abit excessive .

Lovely pub with great food service and beers

At first impression this was a nicely decorated pub with tables set for dining in almost all areas. My friend had popped in to book in person earlier in the day and chosen a table with the staff, next to a radiator as I get very cold. We had to wait on arrival for our table to be made ready and then we were shown to a different table than the one he booked. There was a radiator but it was not on, there were potato chips and ketchup on the floor by the legs of the chair which I had to point out as the person showing us to the table was unaware. We then waited for these to be cleared away. The menus were all creased and slightly grubby printed sheets of A4. I asked for a GF menu so they brought me one of the same sheets with handwritten crosses and ticks on to show what I could and could not order. When the food came my friend's prawn and crab linguini looked ok but he said it was under seasoned, significantly bland. I had ordered the burger with salad and chips, minus the bun. I was expecting a hand made, thick, succulent beef patty with cheese melting into the top and a good amount of salad to accompany, not just a garnish. What I received was a small, overcooked, flat burger with a slice of processed, orange coloured, cheese on top. A small salad garnish (small) and some pale looking chips. To say the plate of food was underwhelming would be kind ... it was awful ! Plus it cost nearly £20 !!!!! A Macdonalds would have been better cooked and more appetising. The waitress didn't check up on us for ages. I was hungry so did eat the food but is tasted as bad as it looked. I visited the ladies toilets twice. Once on arrival and once before leaving. On both occasions the facility was unclean with a wet floor and pieces of toilet paper on the floor. Surfaces did not look clean. To top off a terrible meal they closed the bar exceptionally early and started cleaning (mop and bucket out in front of the main bar area) whilst we were still sat at the table !! We will not be going back.

Delicious roast and wine in a gorgeous location.

Great Sunday roast. Lovely venue and staff

A local gem! Fantastic food and with particular mention to our special server Emma, whom could not have done more to make the experience more memorable and enjoyable for myself and family

Good food with really good pizza. Dogs allowed in the pub. Nice outside area, it must be lovely in the warmer days. Service was good despite us being super difficult to serve (big group not well organised).

Can’t comment on the food as I left. Strange experience. Invited to take a seat for lunch then totally ignored for 20 mins. And there was no shortage of staff.

Had eaten here twice before and the food was generally good. However, before eating, I had to go back to my car in the restaurant car park to retrieve something to give to my family members who were already at our table. I was approached by a very confrontational male with a European accent in his 40s who told me to move my car. My vehicle was parked at the back of the car park and I was very careful to make sure that it wasn't parked in front of a nearby container (part of the Fox & Hounds cold storage) as I could see that a door access was always in use. When I questioned what the parking problem was, his immediate reply was "I'm not telling you again". I got into a slanging match which included expletives (which he started). Another taller fair-haired middle aged with glasses was with him and witnessed the scene. They were evidently dealing with some food supplies to the pub. I asked the aggressive guy if he was part of the restaurant's Management and the taller guy replied on his behalf in the affirmative. Anyhow, I moved the car because I thought there'd be a chance of returning later with flat tyres. I was practically fuming with rage. When I went to the restaurant's senior team members at the bar, I reported everything that happened. I even mentioned that if the same aggressive man came into the pub I'd call the police. The staff acknowledged what I said but did absolutely nothing to check out who I was talking about. For all they knew, these men could have been breaking and entering high value meat and fish storage but I some how feel it was more a case of apathy. When I left, I just felt that this horrendous experience over-shadowed my family get-together. Is this how loyal customers should feel when spending £162? I trust that the Directors involved with this Establishment will reply and take the above very seriously. Onto the food and service, a couple of things I'd like to note which frankly pale into insignificance versus the above. The beef croquettes starter is very good but with three smallish balls costing £13.50 they must've imported Wagyu beef from Japan. The Lamb Tagine was good but just three pieces of lamb with it. They made up for it though and brought extras. However it’s not helpful for the male staff member approached to state “it’s the luck of the draw” with this dish. I’m sorry but “wrong response”!

Great Sunday Roast, place is very busy so I recommend you book ahead. Parking is limited and there are regular traffic warden patrols ticketing cars on the double yellow lines. Even on a Sunday

Easy access to Windsor Great Park. No parking in Pub car park unless you are using the establishment. Parking alone the road at £3 per hour

Meal was OK but after 2 hour I feel not OK.

We meet friends here a couple of times a year for a walk and lunch. Always good food but this time very poor and we were extremely disappointed . Don't know what has happened but won't be going back

Very busy on a Sunday. Good food good company. Extremely busy car park.

Busy little pub but in lovely surroundings. Lovely atmosphere and the food is excellent. Service is very friendly and efficient. We were served our Sunday roasts within 20 minutes, despite the fact the the restaurant was packed to the rafters.

Love this place. We went to celebrate my brother's birthday and sat at a table in the bar area. Lovely atmosphere. Dogs allowed in the bar area. Our waitress was professional and efficient. The food was well presented and tasted as good as it looked. Highly recommend a meal here.

Experience is great. Sadly, there is no parking until midday.

I do love this pub. The service wasn't perfect, a little bit confused, but all the staff members were friendly and thoughtful. The food was simply amazing. From the starter to the pudding, everything was perfect. My son ordered pizza, and my husband and I ordered lamb and beef, delicious! You can keep your furry friends with you because they are more than welcome. We had a great time there!

First time (finally) visiting and... woah! Beef Croquettes *kisses fingers* Pasta with braised pork, pancetta and aged parmesan, beautiful! Staff are awesome and attentive! Plus I got my doggy fix there too with the gorgeous Spotty❤️ First time visit but definitely not the last!

Staff were slow and made us wait. Everything from seating me to taking my order and even paying. Surprisingly the only thing that was quick was the food. But that wasn’t a shock as 2 out of the 3 meals we ordered were under cooked. My pizza was doughy and wet. Our steak was a decent size but blue/rare when we ordered medium rare and finally my partners fish and chips was soggy. We would have informed staff, but no one checked in with us during the meal and the comment the manager made to us when clearing our plates wasn’t nice. “I see you’re not hungry”. Dessert menu was small so no point looking at that. Just 3 types of ice cream…. Overall not a place I’ll be going back to any time soon.

Used to love this place. Still love it for a beer after a walk in the great park, you can’t beat the garden in the summer. However, food wise, it’s gone massively down hill. Firstly the menu is on a piece of A4, and looks more like a lunchtime menu, than an evening higher end one. The food was beverage at best. Had slow cooked beef rib and it’s clear it was only cooked for a couple of hours as was very very chewy. Wine menu is what I’d expect from a cheap pub and not this one. Service was OK not sure if it has new owners as it’s had a refurb which is fine, but with the area it’s set in, I would have expected it be so much better Will go back for drinks but never good again Such a shame

Great place to spend the afternoon with the family. Best food around town. Great service

Brilliant breakfast after a lovely walk

Every table booked. Finally found table to be told that we would have to leave at 5pm. That wasn't a problem as only having a couple of pints and we had 45mins. Waitress came back 10 mins later to say booking had arrived and we had to move. Waitress provided to state not be rude, only asked if another table would be found for us to sit at. Seriously won't be visiting this establishment again, it was like a zoo with amount of animals in there and smelt doggy.

We planned for a walk and a bite for lunch so hadn't booked a table. Popped to check I was ok to park and our plan for lunch. Kate was fabulous and said she didn't have a table to book but see her after our walk and she would do her best. She so did!! we had a lovely table, great lunch and Kate checked. in on our several times to see if everything was ok, enough food etc. Will be back soo and staff/service make a huge difference so thank you Kate 🙏🙏🙏

We have been several times to this pub but were disappointed on this occasion. Service was okay but not great and food was not as good as previously. The beef in the Teryaki Beef was tough and there was not a lot of it!

Pizza was nice, atmosphere and service was ok

Always a great place to go and the food is of a good standard. Stopped here for breakfast after a long walk round the pub. I had the crushed avocado with poached eggs. It was good and filled a hole. My friend had scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. There wasn't much left at the end, which speaks volumes. Always go back here and always recommend it 👌
