The Fox Den in South Gloucestershire

Got a takeaway Sunday lunch. It was nice. The Yorkshire pudding, turkey and triple cooked chips were very nice. The stuffing, beef, vegetables, potatoes and gravy weren't at all appetising. The customer service was good, very friendly and helpful.

Reassessed upon return. Previous review was poor, obviously a couple of bad days I attended. Some premium lagers and good wine and gin selection. Nice large beer garden.

Lovely food, lovely staff. The decor is great, really cosy. Great all rounder. Will definitely be back 🙂

Fantastic evening! Owen was the most accommodating waiter! So friendly and amazing with our daughter. Made us all feel very spoilt. Thank you. Food was amazing!

Owen was really good. Spoke to the children and involved them when he came to the table. Nothing was too much trouble. He kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed.

A fantastic evening spent in a brilliant venue. The food was delicious. The staff was great, Owen was the best - entertaining the children, gauging in conversation & making a special birthday even better. Thank you so much!

The food was fantastic, staff were friendly and a special shout out to Owen who looked after us, ensured we had everything we needed, we will come back soon!

Very good service from the lad named owen

Very good service especially from Owen he's a good lad

My second visit this week as I am here for work. First visit was really good, food and drinks came on time, ordered the country drink, it came in a much larger glass with dried sprinkled berries, today small glass no berries and was waiting a long time for my drink Food arrived late too, I had to ask for my food I waited at 10-15 mins for sometime take my order, other customers arrived after me and tended to before me with drinks I noticed an group of customers whilst I was eating within 5 mins of them seated, their drinks order was taken, 5 mins later their food order? Service was very poor today

Lovely food. Helpful staff. Able to bring our dog.

Had a brilliant time, we had a few pints, amazing service from Dylan and Tracy! We spoke about the night ahead and our night tomorrow! They're absolute diamonds to this pub and will definitely be back!! 😁

Dylan and Tracey provided absolute top notch service, thank you to them!

Lovely venue, seats to low for the table, service poor, very slow, wrong drinks brought to the table, and a number of options on the menu not available. Sat waiting for the bill for an age, then sat waiting for them to come back for payment for an age. Once we managed to pay they asked us to leave. Such a cheeky thing to do after slow and poor service to add on £33 service charge.

Women with short blonde hair working on her own behind the bar, lovely service and made us feel very welcome.

Dylan was a fantastic host and we can’t wait for him to visit Bideford. Great service, thank you Dylan

Absolutely great place to eat and drink, big shout out to Tracy and Nathan for there exceptionall service, nothing is to much trouble, will definitely be back

Ella was great tonight. Food was fantastic and a lovely atmosphere

Dylan was a solid chap. Top worker. Definitely ask for Dylan

Great food and drinks, Dylan was a fantastic server! :)

Great service, Dylan was lovely and so sweet

Exceptional service from Dylan.

I'm not sure what's happened at this pub, but what an improvement. Food was lovely, staff really friendly and helpful but above all, what a change to be actually served drinks and food at your table. All pubs should adopt this practice rather than having to queue for your food, then your drinks.

Always amazing here. Dylan provided wonderful service

Dylan was excellent, really friendly, helpful and made all the effort to ensure we had an enjoyable and relaxing evening. Good communication, checking for allergens and informing on wait times

Sophie was great server. The starter was not great. Prawn cocktail was tasteless.

Lovely little pub . Great lasagna. Lovely fire really enjoyed the pate. It had a lovely little finishing touches to everything . Will definitely revisit

Owen was a nice host and made the evening more enjoyable, even when the time was ten to ten, or 950 ;0)

Good service, friendly staff food came quick

Food was excellent and so was the service - we were served bt Eva

Dylan was a great server! Definitely recommend!!

Dylan was the best waiter I have seen in here

Dylan was an excellent host and we had the best service from him. The food was lovely and hot and enjoyable.

Dylan was a fantastic server, do recommend.

Dylan was most helpful, welcoming and attentive in every way we will be back .

The staff are amazing. The food was of high quality. The environment was welcoming.

Dylan was brilliant - he told me to write this LOL

Went for a wonderful date night with my wife, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable, great background music. Food was brought out in a timely manner, the food was delicious, I had a hearty tomato soup and the steak was perfectly cooked for my liking. The desserts were so good I had to steal some of my wife’s baked cheesecake after I finished my lemon tart. Wonderful service from waiter Ben, made us feel very comfortable. A wonderful night and definitely will be coming back here again with wife and family!

Service was awful, unbelievably slow. Limited selection of soft drinks. Pizzas were off the menu as there were no pizza bases. After an hour and a half or so 2 medium rare steaks appeared which were stone cold and had the texture of an old wellington. Side order didn't appear at all. Followed by an awkward conversation with the waiter. It was dreadful.

Quality Sunday roast beef dinner

Our waiter Eva was lovely and attentive and the food was great. Would recommend

We have eaten here a few times and the food and service are great. Thank you Eva

Had a great time. Our waiter Owen was great, we had a lot of banter with him. I had the chicken burger followed by the banoffee bun

Great service Owen was a good laugh

Great place great food OWEN was by far the best server had a good laugh and excellent service

Owen was very helpful and polite we will definitely be back again

Very good Customer service and great beer

Visited on a Tuesday evening Incredibly busy so pretty loud for chatting About 5 dishes from main menu not available but when the food came it was delicious Would go back as it has a nice welcoming feel

Owen was fantastic, it’s a lot worse service when Owen is not in and we haven’t seen him in a few weeks. he is a ball of energy and is so lovely whenever we come in. Food is fantastic but gone down hill and we go almost every Sunday for a roast. You get so much food.

Wow, what a fantastic little pub, the service from Eva & Joe was brilliant & so friendly. The food was amazing. I had the lasagne which was so tasty & my fiance had haddock & chips which was delicious. We would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you for making it such a lovely relaxing evening.

Dylan and Eva helped us for the night

Had Dylan and Eva brilliant evening

we were served by Eva really good experience lovely food

Great food. Dylan was our waiter he had excellent service. great atmosphere

Great atmosphere and prices, Dylan was lovely and service was superb! Would definitely come back in the future

Dylan was amazing, charismatic young man. Couldn’t recommend this pub more!!

food was so good !! dylan was the best !!!

Brilliance at best, great food.

Very nice pleasant place we always get treated well and food lovely. Had pie and mash with roasted veg , and fish potatoes and veg all served by Eva very nice lady . Overall very very nice.

Really helpful waitress, Eva, who ensured we had everything we needed. Lovely atmosphere and great food

Great vibes, lovely hot chocolates and super accomodating. One of the servers was especially helpful and they're all so polite

10/10 would recommend, amazing atmosphere and delicious food, especially the chips One of the servers doesn't like cheese but makes up for it with his stellar attitude and excellent hosting skills

Lovely service, thanks Dylan for a great time. I will definitely be coming back

Lovely pub with really friendly and down-to-earth staff!

Owen was an amazing server. He was very attentive to one of our party with food intolerance even checking ingredients for vegan custard would be ok. A true credit to the pub.

Nice place for low noise atmosphere for a Sunday roast... And try,, allotment crumble.. Real fireplace for cold winter days

Owen was the one looking after us what a fantastic guy really valuable members to the team there. Really enjoyed the meal but he definitely made our visit.

No greeting upon arrival . Not even a sign to say 'please wait to be seated'. Grumpy bar man told us to wait for someone!! Staff came along soon after, miserable look on face. No greeting, just walked us to table. Waitress arrived , miserable ! When I asked to substitute the peas for a salad, was told this wasn't possible!!! WHY??? When food arrived, there were 9 chips on a plate of fish & chips!! 9 !!!. We weren't told about the food that were unavailable, before we looked at the menu. Gammon was tiny & fatty, again with a very small serving of chips. Cranberry juice was clearly squash, not juice, as ordered, was not informed of this ! Service was slow considering restaurant was less than half full. 5 out of 12 dessert options , were not available!! Ridiculous considering we booked table at 6.30pm. The whole experience was miserable & a complete waste of money & time. I will be writing online reviews about this. Utterly disgusted at the entire experience.

Had a very good experience. Jaden gave exceptional service and took care of me and my family very well. Would definitely recommend going here!

Gang of us stopped for a drink Ended up with a full night pub food was good and staff was helpful and friendly Will be back for a full scale night out again Update January 2025. Stopped in again for lunch. Great staff and food again brilliant. Best pub in the area.

Lovely Staff, great food, damn good burger

Ben was very welcoming. Friendly service and food was good.

We had a lovely time, Sophie and the team were great

Service was great, especially from Ben. Food and drinks were very good! Nice to find a lovely little local pub.

The fox den was brilliant from start to finish. Dylan was looking after us and was very helpful and cheerful. Would highly recommend!

We had lunch here, ample parking, beautifully decorated bar and restaurant. Table service smooth and professional and no-one 'hovering'. We were very happy with the food and will return again. Thanks everyone.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at The Fox Den, the food was lovely and the staff were great (especially Dylan). We’ll definitely be coming again!

It was extremely busy when we went into the pub and the staff handled it extremely well, I had a chat with the waitress Ella and the bar staff Ollie and Sophie who were extremely friendly and made me amazing drinks. 10/10 service will definitely be returning.

Dillon was absolutely amazing and very hospitable, great service and attention. Lovely place, well done.

Really good attentive service. Food was good

Beautiful pub, extremely friendly staff who go beyond and above with the service they provide. Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere, everything! The wonderful chef provided my young daughter with some cucumber, carrot and pepper sticks whilst myself and my partner enjoyed our dinner. Will most definitely be returning. Recommend highly for a lovely calm vibe, great food and a perfect outing!

Jayden and Nathan wet amazing great service.

Nathan and Jaden. Great and friendly service.

Amazing service, shoutout to Nathan! Family had a brilliant time.

This was our first meal at the fox den, we went for Sunday dinner, we enjoyed roast dinner. I had the lamb shank and added pigs in blankets. Very delicious food, the roast potatoes were stunning. Friendly staff and manager Ben, we will be back!

Went there on Christmas Day. Couldn't have been treated better. American sized portions. Lovely.

Food and service was good just a bit chilly for sitting comfortably for a meal.

Lovely pub and lovely staff. Ben was very friendly and helpful. Service was slow as there seemed to be limited staff and coffee was cold. Despite this, we would go again

I made a reservation in August 2024 for my birthday lunch celebration January 2025; 4 months notice. Upon arrival, I was asked if I would change to a different table. I said no because I chose my tables in August. Our reservation was 12.30pm. The waitress who took our food order got the quantities wrong and had to walk away and return (10 minutes later) to double check. My husband amended her errors. Drinks were promptly served apart from enough water glasses to accompany the water jugs. Frequent requests for more water glasses to accompany the jugs of water were ignored. Non alcoholic cocktail orders were declined on the basis that my nieces were under 18. We did request NON ALCOHOLIC COCKTAILS! At 2.15pm, I asked where our food was? My family had travelled 3 hours and had 3 hour return journeys home. I requested that they please get on with our food orders. Other tables that arrived after us were served before us. At 2.45pm, the food started arriving. I ordered roast beef which was rare, as requested. But the parsnips were woody and inedible. My niece ordered the Aubergine gratin; she said it was “hard”. There was a mixture of feedback about the food from my family. But I think we were all fed up with the waiting and lack of service. To say that my birthday lunch was ruined by the incompetent staff is an understatement. The occasion can’t be lived again – the precious moment in time has gone and there is nothing the Fox Den can do to undo my disappointment. Suffice to say that we shall never return nor can I recommend the venue to anyone anymore.

Be afraid. I didn’t think places this bad existed any more. Desperately in need of new management and a chef as well as a visit from EH if the prawn starter was anything to go by. Understaffed and you could see they were struggling. Something is deeply wrong. Nice little building though - could be lovely.

Great place for food and drink, highly recommended.

I may be a bit unfair here but I thought the food was ok, not great but not poor. Looking at other people's meals not just mine it was ok. I think I'm old fashioned because the waiter was dressed worse than a homeless guy. Black trousers and white shirt may be dated now but staff should be recognisable from customers.

Lovely place to have a few drinks, staff are friendly and helpful. Not had food here yet but will do in future, it looks great!

Good booking process on the website, good service and food. Only downside was that the restaurant was very cold. Appreciate it was probably the coldest evening this winter.

New Years Eve with the family Owen was our waiter, friendly, courteous and professional

Popped in Xmas eve for a meal to be told no food was available as tables were being set for Xmas day!! Welcomed into the nearby Beefeater and had a gorgeous meal with friendly attentive staff

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. However, the 'root vegetable Wellington' that I ordered was barely warm in the middle, although the roast vegetables were hot. When I took it back I was offered a choice of having it warmed up or 're-made' - I opted for the 're-made' route. However, the second one was also barely warm in the middle and the vegetables were volcanic but rather dried out. A shame as the Wellington tasted good, but I didn't want to eat a lukewarm meal that hadn't been either properly re-heated or had been hanging around and left to go cold.

Really great food and service. Burger was outstanding, as was the lasagne. Vanilla cheesecake was the perfect ending. However there was a guy playing live music that kind of ruined the vibe as we had to kinda shout to have a conversation at the dinner table. I understand there’s a bar and a restaurant seperately, but the dude was set up in between the 2 so it drowned out all conversation. He then ended his set and 2 ladies (drunk customers) got on the microphone and just started making an awful racket. So much so that it was all you could hear as the rest of the place went silent in disgust. I had to ask the waiter to tell them to stop. Turns out he’d had 4 complaints before actually doing anything

Food was lovely, well presented and generous portions. Service was timely and it was a nice atmosphere. Our first time eating out on Christmas Day and we will definitely be doing it again.
