A hidden gem. We came for lunch. We had an excellent meal. Special menu: scallops (starter). Pan fried trout (main) were well seasoned. Great flavours, crispy skin on the trout. Very much recommended. Establishment was clean - toilets too. Staff welcoming and friendly. Menu is small, but appropriate as it is fresh. Pizza, kids and sandwich menu also available. Specials board found inside at the main bar, which is updated each morning. Small stream at the back with an outside area. Very idyllic. No complaints. Very much recommended.

We had an absolutely perfect stay at The Fox in Barrington! From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for a treat. Corrin's stunning photographs of my and my fiancées engagement truly didn't do justice to the beauty of the place - Corrin’s talent is undeniable! But what really made our stay stand out was the warm hospitality of Landlord Adam and his magnificent team. The kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care for guests made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and every aspect of our stay was meticulously taken care of. We're already counting down the days until we can return. If you're looking for a truly special experience, look no further than The Fox in Barrington. We can't wait to come back and enjoy the team’s wonderful hosting abilities again. 5/5 stars.

We're grateful to the exceptional hospitality that was extended to our family for our unexpected dinner here when our car needed service. We're grateful to have stumbled upon an idyllic location with exceptional service and tasty food. There are ample seating options from dining room, bar, and outdoor picnic tables overlooking the beautiful landscape. Thanks to the entire staff for all their assistance and understanding - we really appreciate it!

Had a table booked here for lunch on Easter Monday but we were running late from our walk so called ahead to order our food and let them know. Staff were very accommodating and the food was delicious and particularly needed for 4 weary walkers and a hangry toddler. Would definitely recommend!

Delicious food. Good humoured service. We really recommend this pub . Right next to the river Windrush. Beautiful location. Parking available but a bit limited. Very tight to get out if busy. (They ask for feedback but couldn't get the link sent to work properly!!)

Stopped off here for a meal on our way home from a Cotswold weekend. Lovely friendly welcoming pub with super staff. Quite busy even on a Monday lunchtime so obviously popular. We thought our meal was extremely good. The butternut squash soup was sensational. For the mains, we both had the freshwater trout with samphire, capers and new potatoes. I'm interested that the two previous reviewers both had this, one seemed to be impressed while the other very unimpressed and thought the trout looked like supermarket packet fish. We thoroughly enjoyed ours but I must admit we did wonder at the time if the fish was really from a local chalk stream as advertised as it did look the same shape and size as a piece from a shop. However, it was beautifully cooked.

Fantastic service and experience…… I turned up late after a long day on the road working. I was greeted by 2 of the team who were very friendly and welcoming. I was asked if I was dining this evening!! And I was so glad I did…. Had the homemade pie of the day which was exceptional. Breakfast was 8:30am, however I would be leaving at 7:30am, so I was given a continental breakfast to take to my room so I could eat in the room. Very comfy bed and homely rooms! What a great experience

Been coming to the Fox for 30 years so have a good handle on the service and food from previous owners. The location is fantastic and the pub is very nice with a great beer garden. The food however was sub-par and my burger was cold and the chips were sparse. My father ordered meatballs and they were luke warm. The pate and toast came out as a starter without any butter. The service was dreadfully slow - only 3 of us and the gap between courses was too long. Hopefully this isn’t a normal occurrence and it wasn’t massively busy compared to other times I’ve visited.

So disappointed to not be able to eat here. Arrived 7.20pm on Sunday and although it said food until 8pm the kitchen was already closed. Watching plates go out and still be delivered out was gutting as the place looks amazing with beautiful gardens and the stream running through.

We booked this for Sunday lunch to meet up with friends. It was a beautiful sunny Sunday ( believe it or not 😉 ) , so we had drinks outside by the river 1st. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. the waitress smiley. I had the squid for starter. It was crisp and tasty. Beautifully cooked. I had food envy once the rest of the table received their mains. I ordered a burger, no bread, but asked for extra salad. I got a small burger with some cheese on it and then just a piece of lettuce, gherkin, and tomato on the side. It was OK. My friends ceasar salad, it looked amazing lots of chicken and anchovies. The men had roasts , again looked amazing , lots of it and the gravy was rich and gorgeous. All was well presented. I had a scoop of coconut ice cream afterwards, oh that WAS nice!!

Visited this lovely pub restaurant on a Saturday evening. We were a family group of 6 adults, a 7 year old and 2 toddlers.We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived.Lovely cozy atmosphere and the waiting staff were all lovely. The food was beautiful, from the burgers, homemade pie , to the exceptional ribeye steak which was cooked to perfection. We had a lovely evening and would definitely recommend you pay a visit here. I would say you’d be better to book as it was very busy when we were there.

Having tried twice before, we were able, luckily, to get a table for dinner last night and we certainly felt the persistence paid off. Beautiful setting, cosy, clean restaurant, varied menu choices, friendly, attentive staff and AMAZING, perfectly cooked and presented food. We have eaten at a lot of restaurants in the Cotswolds since moving here 15 months ago. Some came highly recommended, some had waiting lists, and some owned by Celebraty chefs but in all honesty, The Fox held it's own against them and even outshone some. We have booked a table to return with friends in April.

Are you looking for an overpriced meal with a side order of rudeness and arrogance? Then look no further than the Fox at Barrington. Oh… and if you’re a vegan or vegetarian you will feel most welcome with the one and only option! Let’s hope you like it!! I’m not entirely convinced the landlord has attended the school of ‘the customer is always right’ but as they say, education is lifelong, so we live in hope . Unfortunately pubs like this feel they can charge the earth for very average food and awful service, just because they are in the Cotswolds. Think it’s safe to say we won’t be back….

Good food, nice location, but honestly sneaky service charges are just off-putting. Tipping should be the choice of the customer not forced upon them making it awkward to ask to remove it. Do you not pay the staff enough that you need to charge extra for their salary? This isn’t the USA. Up your prices if you can’t afford to pay wages.

DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY TO THIS SCAM OF A COMPANY! I had emailed to book a table for 13 people. Initially the restaurant replied to my emails and asked me to send a deposit of £10pp and emails once it was sent. I sent the deposit and emailed as requested. No reply. I have subsequently emailed many times and still no reply. The phone just rings out as well. I feel completely swindled out of £130 and will be pursuing the company until I receive my money back.

We stayed two nights here. The service was attentive. The staff really want to make sure your stay was enjoyable. The garden surrounding the hotel is great for a quiet stroll. We had dinner at the restaurant the first evening. My sea breams were perfectly cooked, seasoned and with crispy skin. Breakfast was included and also excellent. The location is a bit out of the main road but that is part of the charm.
