The Fox Café/Bar in Bristol, City of

The Fox. A former pub, now cafe and B&B. I believe you can still get a drink in the bar if you are a resident once the cafe is shut. What a great way to keep on old pub running. I have not been to the Fox for at least 5 years or more, and had starved myself that morning for The Big Fox Breakfast! Apart from a bit of a wait which they apologised for (and gave me an extra egg and sausage as a decent gesture) the breakfast was as great as I remember it. Great quality ingredients, freshly cooked to perfection, and just what I needed. The place was busy with workers who are part of the big property developments that are springing up in and around temple meads. Some of the guys were staying above the Fox and love it! There is also a garden out the back with seating if you want to go Al Fresco in your high viz!

Honesty the best breakfast I've ever had, Friendly staff, will be returning.

Popped in today for a breakfast it was really lovely. This place is hidden out the way a bit and right in the middle of loads of building work, but we are glad we went to try it. Also please tell us the bread/ toast secret. It was so nice!! Lovely staff also 😀

A very cozy and welcoming pub. I came here to have some coffee while waiting for the garage to fix my car and i was so glad i did it. The staff was very kind and the coffee was delicious. Also the temperature was perfect, which i am grateful for as it was freezing outside. Thank you!

It's as if you stepped back in time. A corner house Pub, with a cosy atmosphere, quiet pub,enjoyable food, and a Tate & Lyle Tea house environment in one Place. A part of history to be preserved. Highly recommended to drop in for food, drink, stays in rooms above. And in Bristol. Its a quiet lovely location. When exploring Bristol. To stumble across the place is fantastic.

Best breakfast in Bristol hands down

One of the bar staff was clearly up to his eyeballs on coke, rude as hell. The others were only rude. Nothing on tap, and charging 7 pound for a bottle of Moretti.

This place is awful the people are unbelievably rude, I've never come across such an awful place with such awful staff. Never go here

Quite a good option for the price. The location is quite industrial, but just a few minutes walk from the Temple Meads. The owners are extremely welcoming and helpful. The last but not the least, one of the best full english I ever had. Highly recommended.

The best fry up in Bristol hands down. High quality ingredients that taste incredible

Summary: Food great, staff and service great, price great. I've visited this café with a friend a few times over the past six months but forgot to leave a review until now. This place has a classic old skool 'greasy spoon' vibe, which I mean in all the best possible Kenny Everett taste. The food isn’t greasy though, it’s a proper English breakfast done right, with just the right amount of indulgence, and very filling portions. The staff are straightforward and unpretentious, yet kind and polite. The food is very reasonably priced, and if memory serves, I think comes with a gratuitous mug of tea or coffee included in the price of the breakfast (don’t quote me, as I might be wrong). A word of caution – use it or lose it - with a growing number of student accommodation places being built in the area, this café will likely soon vanish as fast as pubs off the high street. Hopefully people will make it their ‘go-to’ breakfast & other food destination (I’m not the owner / a member of staff).

Great little pub, awesome food. Good for a party

Weird bouncer… closed the curtains on people even when dead inside but music blaring 100db… you don’t want our money?? 🤣 Weird. Like some insiders pub or smthin

Had a brilliant vegetarian breakfast today...very tasty! My husband had the meaty one. Lovely pot of hot tea. Nice atmosphere, everyone was very friendly. Cute dog - as they are dog friendly, so next time we go, we will take our greyhound Jilly. We were very impressed.

It was perfect, and what a hearty breakfast!

Rick and his team were lovely, very welcoming and friendly, accommodation was clean tidy comfy beds, not far from station to walk, only issue is there is alot of building work going of new student accommodation and facilities are built, but thats just how things are I would go back again as enjoyed our stay

Booked last minute for a gig at the Marble Factory about a minute's walk away - what a hidden gem! Very friendy staff, excellent location and relaxing vibe. No brekkie at weekends but only a 10 min walk from Temple Meads & lots of cafes. Excellent value.

Always a great time at the fox, great staff and booming rigs

Absolutely terrible, got kicked out 2 hours earlier than agreed with no prior warning, from what I’ve heard that 5 months planning down the drain for nothing. Operating in bad faith and admitted they were in the wrong but decided to kick us out anyway. Never coming back.

Terrible venue, landlord was making racist remarks to me and my mates, got kicked out for having a bottle of sprite, forced to by drinks which were over charged, not a friendly landlord at all, shut it down, looked like a hostel for homeless

5 STARS FOR THE FOX What an unreal gaff this is. The best breakfasts in all of Bristol at a proper fair price. Rich, Sol and Liam are top lads always making the place feel welcoming, and the weekend day parties are perfect to have a boogie and a cold cider in the sunshine. No place like the fox! X

Everytime I go to the fox I have a lovey time. The bar staff are always welcoming and the events held at the fox are definitely worth coming to. The food is 11/10 credits to the shef :)

What an amazing place, rooms are immaculate, food is to die for (especially the breakfasts). Has a lovely garden area they use for events which has a really nice relaxed jungle vibe. Drinks are reasonable for the area £5 a pint can’t go wrong! Love it

Owners are queer no pints on tap

DO NOT go to this venue! I was spiked with valiums and there are a lot of drugs being sold there and being took inside the cafe. People were doing ketamine on the bar and they don’t even have beer on tap. Just cans of thatchers for £8. What an absolute rip off. I will never be here again. Rude people. Rip offs. Scammers

We were accused of one of our friends tolieting around the bathroom even through there were alot of old people staying there who could have toilet problems. Offered to clean everything the next day to help but they sent in their mussle to kick us out. There is zero proof it was us, then accused my girlfriend of doing it, sounds like they wanted to scam us out of money. Thew us out to sleep in the car. Disgusting and ripped us off £80.

DELICIOUS food and exemplary service. Lovely staff, extremely accommodating. Lovely place with an awesome vibe. Will be recommending to everyone!

Awesome breakfast at a very reasonable price. Very large portions. Very well cooked and presented. That big a portion i couldn't finish it. Well done guy's absolutely awesome. Next time im working down your way you will definitely be seeing me again. Cheers Paul

Having car serviced so nipped into have a coffee, but ended up with a very tasty sausage and bacon bap .Very welcoming and lovely and warm atmosphere.

Amazing cooked breakfast. One of the best I’ve had! Black pudding cooked perfect along with the super crunchy hash browns. Staff funny and friendly.

Brilliant breakfast and absolutely stunning coffee

Couldn’t find a better more friendly cafe if you tried. Been coming here for a few years now and am never failed every time I walk through the door. These people are always happy to help customer or not would highly recommend 👍

The experience was good but am scared of the dog there

Eat in ther all the time foods always banging and Richard is always friendly 👌

By far one of the friendliest and welcoming places in the area. Great selection of drinks, and we had some fantastic chips! Will definitely be back

What a dump when I got there it looked like a place for the homeless worst 80 pound I have ever spent

One of the best brekkies in Bristol. Staff are very friendly and real.

Breakfast at its Best, Good quality., piping hot, very well presented, and alot of it!.Friendly Staff. Highly Recommended.

Went to this establishment on a work trip, very friendly and welcoming. Hidden gem

Simply at first because of the name (I love foxes) the name of the cafe got my attention. Honestly the bacon roll I had there is probably the best one I had. Had a wonder around and it does have character. Will come again definitely.

Absolutely one of the best breakfast I've ever had!! Spot on with great local suppliers. Will definitely be back.

Great english breakfast, smiley people

Picturesque views of the vast concrete expanse. Sublime beverages, exceptional staff, exquisite atmosphere. Strongly recommend

Warm comfy vibe, such lovely staff! Highly recommend for an air bnb and events!

The roast was amazing . That's all I can say . Can't fault it at all . Great service too. The beef was so tender and packed with flavour

Really cool bar/cafe with nice outdoor area

A very warm welcome from the staff and landlord, I really enjoyed my full english breakfast, everything is excellent quality. I have been back many times for breakfasts and evening dinner with friends and family. I highly recommend The Fox .

Fantastic breakfast, hidden little gem

What a gem of a place! Spotlessly clean and so so friendly! We were made to feel so welcome on arrival with an added touch of a free drink to help us settle in. Thank you so much Rich and Lyn. Like I said….I’m moving in 😄

Bed and breakfast con toque tradicional y extremadamente limpio y cuidado.
