The Fox Hotel in West Oxfordshire

I was with my wife, daughter and 1year old grandson. We had an excellent meal. Very good food and excellent service. Reasonably priced. Downed with well kept Hook Norton beer. Added attraction, it was dog friendly for 2 dogs. We most certainly will go again when in Chipping Norton. Roy

We were in Chipping Norton with some friends and they suggested The Fox to eat. We were all together so went along with it. The atmosphere was really lovely and the staff are very welcoming and welcoming. The menu quite restricted, not much to choose from. The food was pub grub but at a cost that should have delivered quite a bit more than it did, I don't mean the portions, more about the way it was cooked. Food quality one step above Weatherspoon's but price wise nearly three times. Stuff was over cooked and a bit tough and dry, this was not just my food. When in a group not easy to say anything but afterwards a couple of people spoke out in the group. It was a shame as the food left me disappointed, fortunately the company and service was really great.

We stayed here for 3 nights, the room itself was lovely and clean however we had a lot of problems with noise. Directly outside the room was the beer garden, next door was the kitchen and you could hear the people in the rooms above showering/walking around.

I dealt with Lauren who I found to be delightful....nothing too much trouble! Room was excellent, clean and smart. We had dinner and breakfast and both were lovely ...well cooked and tasty. Top place to stay and eat!

Fantastic pub (much bigger than it looks), really friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. Add some decent beer in and it’s honestly great!

Probably an off night.. Gonna try again soon.. Too bad, The menu looked decent.. others also share the location so that’s not necessarily the Bees Knees… See you again soon..

Had a nights stay at The Fox in Chipping Norton. Just happened to be Burger 🍔 Night . Excellent ! So was breakfast . Staff/ Manager, Ben, very helpful. Lovely bar with character and great atmosphere.

Food at The Fox was wonderful would certainly recommend, a wee bit of a delay but was worth it, good vegetarian options, the Sunday nut roast was the best I've tasted.

We stayed over the hotel part of the pub and also had dinner. The food and staff were really good, the accommodation was pretty average for the price.

I called in prior to 6pm and had a pint which was good, I then went for a wander around the village and returned at 6 30pm. Ordered my drink at the table and food and waited 20 minutes. I went up to the bar to find out where my drinks were and my food only to be told there were no pies left. Why put pies on as a special and then run out of them. The place was quiet and asked where my drinks were. Got a blank look. Typical young girl wokes,big lips eyelashes white teeth more interested in their phones then serving . Left and found my food elsewhere. First and last time going there. No leaders or guidance .

Had a good meal while staying for the weekend. Breakfast was very good. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Good selection of local beers too

Excellent service All 3 of us enjoyed our meals 😋

Great character, great full English breakfast, great friendly staff. Very handy, just off the high street with it's own car park round the back.

All very good, The staff were very helpful and polite. The food was really good. So much choice. All piping hot. Really good. The location was good too. The room was lovely, for what you wanted. All good definitely go back xx

Lovely staff, super pet friendly. Amazing food.

Absolutely Brilliant, Highly recommend, food, rooms and service were just the best !!! All staff were just amazing, words can't express how I feel. Thank you so much for everything

We stayed here for one night and also ate Dinner. Nice clean rooms with ample space and clean comfy beds. Good food and nice staff

Smallest portion of peas ever, fish raw and cold inside, service slow

A charming pub with nice rooms.. a very old building, so not big rooms. Fine though. Great staff, very friendly and helpful. The restaurant food was exceptional! A very nice stay.

Lovely family lunch. Service was slow due to volume of guests arriving for lunch. Sunday roasts and the other food items were beautifully presented and were delicious. Hook Norton real ales as well. Perfect. Thank you, will certainly visit again.

We were a large mixed aged, party dining on Friday night (1 to 80 years old) and we had a lovely evening. Ben and his team did an amazing job looking after us and we all thoroughly enjoyed the food and drink even the doggies got spoilt with lots of treats, thank you.

What a fabulous find, lovely pub with great food in the middle of a buzzy little town. Very generous portions, great staff and a good selection of drinks, with lots of free parking.

Decent English Pub Food. Most pubs have gone down the road of fancy menus, at least the Fox has stayed a little more traditional. Nice place, good food at a reasonable price.

We stopped here for a drink and an evening meal on our way back from visiting Lego Land with our grandchildren. The staff were very friendly and helpful finding us a spare table for our meal. The food was delicious. We will be visiting again!

Older style accommodation with fantastic staff and a great chef.

Great stay in The Fox. Room was comfortable & food was exceptional. Dan the chef went above and beyond for us at breakfast

Fabulous 1 night stay at The Fox. Lovely pub/ resturant in Chipping Norton,approximately 20 -25 minutes away from Broughton in the Water and all other villages in the Cotswolds area. Our stay was fabulous. All the staff were friendly,helpful and welcoming. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, great room and fabulous freshly cooked breakfast. We would highly recommend this as a place to stay to explore the Cotswolds. They have got everything just right here. Well done to the staff and owners. We will be back.

Excellent pub selling superb Hook Norton real ale.

My father and I enjoyed a Sunday Roast at The Fox and both staff and food were fantastic. The welcome was warm, our waitress was attentive and not overbearing… the roast was scrumptious and Pops enjoyed a pint of Hook Norton lager. Thank you. 🤩

Great pub and hotel. Staff were great.

Wonderful and well managed hotel in Chipping Norton. We had a lovely quaint room overlooking the main high street. Exceptionally good staff here - Luke welcomed us and quickly checked us in very efficiently and professionally. He explained everything and gave us some all the info we asked for. Very pleasant and efficient service and he even personally took us to our room to ensure we were settled in properly. The bar and restaurant serve very good food and wine and was priced very reasonably. We have a great breakfast the following morning which Lauren ensured was a very enjoyable experience and great way to start the day. She is a charming and caring member of The Fox who you can tell genuinely cares and looks after her guests. My wife and I had a very good stay here and really cannot fault any aspect of it. The staff here are extremely good and its worth staying here just for the care you receive from them.

Popped in for food only as we were staying somewhere else I wish we stayed there very friendly staff and great food

Very pleasant atmosphere good food and service

Beautiful set in the heart of chipping Norton, the fox has well mannered staff, delicious drinks and comfortable surroundings. Toilets clean and not overcrowded by dozens of cubicals, air dryer. Seating consists of a restaurant, snug, meeting room and some bar seats. Thoroughly enjoyed my day at pride on the 1st of June as I was able to grab a break from the sun and relax with an ice cold cider. Staff were wonderful and I can't fault the pub itself. Can't comment on the food as I didn't have any but the smells coming from the kitchen were 👌🏻

Very friendly and accommodating staff - good varied menu and food enjoyed by all of our 6 diners

Best roast dinner. Super friendly service and dog friendly too 🙂

Nice pub, good food, big carpark

In the centre of Chipping Norton, my favorite local. The food is amazing, the team are always really friendly and the prices very reasonable in comparison to some of the other pubs.

My wife and I stayed on a Sunday night, and had the most amazing room. very clean, comfy bed, great shower, and some nice little touched like the bottle of beer.. We had the Sunday roast, I had lamb and my wife had Vegetarian, and both were superb, and the breakfast next day was perfect as well. We found all the staff to be lovely, and would have no hesitation about staying again

The smash burger, was absolutely delicious

Great pub to stay for my holiday. Clean rooms, great food, and great service.

The most wonderful pub, excellent friendly staff with one of the best Roasts in town.

Honestly, this is one of the best places I've stayed. From start to finish, the service, food , beers and location were excellent. Ben at the front of house was so friendly and welcoming, aswell as all of the staff and they made our stay so easy and lovely. Highly recommend this place. 10/10

If I could rate this lovely pub as 10-stars I would! Had dinner tonight - what a beautiful venue and the food, service, welcome, ambience - all absolutely first rate. Every single member of the team really is a top class professional. In an age when it sometimes seems as if few people in the hospitality industry actually care, this venue is a shining beacon of excellence.

I had the burger, excellent. Recommended. Service knowledgeable and attentive.

Visited for an evening meal, we have stayed and ate here previously. Food was really lovely, again, we had starters and mains. Service was really good and the staff were very helpful when I mentioned an allergy I have.

I took my mum and daughter here today. As always great food and staff, roast lunch is the nicest in town. Will always come back here

Great food, good choice of beer and wine with a nice atmosphere, service was good too.

Food was appalling tasteless dry. Who ever made the Bakewell tart ought to go back to cooking school! I was sick when I got home! Just awful definitely would not recommend.🤢👎🏻

Friendly staff all round,especially Amy,Ryan and Ben. Great food,great atmosphere, we will definitely visit The Fox again then next time we are in the area. Didn't stay in the rooms maybe next time.

Food was great. Bit on the high price side , but it's Chipping Norton so to be expected I guess , very dog friendly , staff very friendly but service a little slow for a not busy Tuesday lunchtime ....

The Fox is such a lovely traditional Coltwolds location. Manager Ben is friendly and never forgets a face and staff are always there to serve. Sunday lunch is absolutely beautiful. The sirloin beef melts in your mouth and the dogs love it too. Value for money, best to book as tables get booked quickly.

Usually pretty decent. This time, a bunch of people at a nearby table were very loud with constant profanity’s. They were at a Reserved table but move when asked, about 7 feet away. Thee is no need for this in a restaurant. The Waiter to us was excellent though.

Who would had thought this beautiful market town nestled in Oxfordshire would be hosting a local business networking event. What a great idea, working in partnership with #BusinessBuzz allowing local businesses and entrepreneurs to meet and discuss all thing bright and beautiful in their hectic work life balance. Great venue, and amazing staff

Great fun venue, especially on DJ and pizza night. The Fox has quite a buzzy fun atmosphere and the pizzas were excellent!

Lunchtime Meal for four plus two dogs. Lovely large window table. Water offered for dogs. Food excellent. Special dietary request catered for. Only negative - quite a wait for food.

Long weekend in the Cotswolds and could not have asked for anything more from The Fox. Great pub , incredible breakfast , great staff and perfect hosts. So helpful and friendly. Thanks very much Ben and your team , including Lennon!! Will be visiting again!!

Really nice friendly pub.Food was excellent. Highly recommend the rice pudding,delicious..great chef, really friendly staff.

My partner and I had an excellent stay here for 2 nights! The room was lovely and cosy with a very comfy bed and great sized shower. The food was lovely and fresh and breakfast both mornings was fresh to order from the menu with plenty of vegetarian options. Staff were attentive and very knowledgeable of the local area. Special shout out to Aidan who spent some time letting us know about the local area and things to see and do. Excellent stay, lovely staff and we will definitely be back :) And we loved the extra welcome from the local gentleman with the tartan tie ! Many thanks, Ross & Rebecca, Glasgow

We stayed here for a few days as a treat for hubs birthday and could not have been happier with our stay. We had a warm welcome and after a drink was shown to our room. It was beautiful, spacious and very clean and fresh. The facilities were brilliant and the extras just added to the treat. The staff are so friendly and cannot do enough to make your stay a good one. We ate here too and both breakfast and evening meals were to a very high standard, delicious and beautifully served. I honestly cannot fault any aspect of our stay here, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had no issues with parking either. We would happily stay again and I am more than happy to recommend. Thank you so much, you helped to make our break really enjoyable and very comfortable.😊

Excellent Sunday roast! Beef was tender and came with large Yorkshire pudding and veg cooked to perfection. Really friendly staff and excellent value for money

Long wait (3/4 hour) for cold inedible overcooked chips with our meals. They are billed as triple cooked chips but were so hard they must have been cooking all day. We were not charged for the one meal but whole experience disappointing. Service poor too. No one came to apologise for the delay - we had to chase up our meals. I’m sure there must be better places to eat in Chipping Norton.

Myself and my husband have had a fantastic few days staying at The Fox amazing room, staff and food. Lovely dog friendly place. Breakfast really good and fantastic variety the same with dinner. Thank you

Popped in for a light lunch. Clean and welcoming. Good food and very pleasant staff. Menu was varied.

Wow! What a wonderful place, stayed for 2 nights our room was lovely, comfortable and clean! We had an evening meal which was really nice! Breakfast was included both mornings and was lovely and hot, it included cereal, juices tea coffee etc.

From the minute we walked through the door we felt welcomed by the staff. We were shown to our table in a very nice area of the restaurant and the service was faultless throughout our whole visit. Superb quality food with generous portion sizes. Best gammon I have ever had. Would reccomend a visit if in the area.

We had dinner at The Fox recently and were really impressed. We had a risotto and fish and chips, then sticky toffee and a lemon meringue dish and all of it was fab. They had lots of gluten free options which is refreshing to see and the staff were really friendly. Great location in the centre with lots of parking nearby. Prices were reasonable for in the area and service was quick.

Connor and Ant are just amazing!! They went above and beyond and I are the warmest, kindest most welcoming hosts you can ask for. Just the loveliest humans!!

We ate here last night whilst staying in the area. After an hour we asked where our food was to be told the waiter forgot to put our order through, my partner was ‘hangry’ and ready for for leaving to the nearest takeaway but after seeing the tables around us eat the food looked really good and I wanted to stay and wait. Food arrived shortly after, we had the lamb meatballs specials and the burger and they were both brilliant, what a good choice it was to stay. I was a hotel and restaurant manager for 5 years in in my younger years and appreciate whilst not ideal, these things happen and it certainly hasn’t put me off returning. Our drinks were taken off the bill as an apology but we still left a tip as the staff and food were brilliant

The staff were pleasant and attentive to us when we went for dinner. My parter had the whitebait which was more like sardines than white bait and the fish and chips which was ok but bland. I had the burger which was nice and a couple of pints. Dinner was ok no frills pub food

Visited on bank holiday Monday very busy . Lovely meal - recommend the burger very friendly staff will definitely return Thank you

Really lovely staff, dog friendly and delicious food. Would really recommend this cute little pub and it’s great location. We had the smashed burger and the chicken and mushroom risotto - both plates left very empty by the time we left. The kids menu is also fab and had loads of GF options for our little one!

My husband and I stayed at The Fox for two nights in July. We have stayed here before and liked it so much that we came back!!The manager Ben and all his lovely staff were so friendly and made us feel so welcome!We will certainly look forward to coming back again Thankyou!!

Told fully booked for food, so had a pint, four lads walked in told the same, a couple walked in asked for a table , told yes they could find them a table….. shortly after , another guy came in , told sorry fully booked...

To a person the staff couldn't be nicer! The room was lovely but a fan that stayed on indefinitely would be a help when it is hot. The pub food was very good as were the breakfast! It is our favorite place in the Cotswolds

Popped in on the off chance to eat. Table readily available. Hot meal. But no condiments on the table. Very helpful and friendly staff

Fabulous Meal and really friendly staff from the moment we walked in. Fantastic pint of off the hook I must say. Ryan on the bar looked after us very well all evening. Will be coming back when next in town

Met five business associates for a meal at the Fox. Waiting 50 minutes was slightly disappointing, however, when the meal arrived it was cold. Cold chips, if you could call them chips, cold meat, and I mean cold. Fellow colleague tried my meal and refused...

An absolute shambles of a place. Having reserved a table for six, arrived and seated in a half full pub by 7 pm and served our ordered drinks. Meals ordered and over 45 minutes later still waiting for them. When they eventually arrived two were...

I booked this pub for a relaxing leaving lunch for a colleague, I looked and the menu and prices and thought it looked delicious. I couldn't have been more wrong. The waitress we had initially was great, friendly and warm. Three of us ordered the...

Friendly pub, staff were super helpful. Nice choice on the menu. Whole family had roast dinner. Generous portions very tasty! Only suggestion is to offer smaller portion roast as it’s a large plate.

Absolutely lovely dinner last night. Beautiful food. Mackerel pate was huge. Generous portions for both mains. Staff serving food were amazing, really friendly - especially Arnold

The food was so good we went back the second night. Amazing place great staff. Special mention to Laura very friendly “Relentless” approach to customer service. Very friendly and helpful.

From arriving to leaving, the staff could not have been more welcoming, pleasant and helpful during our stay. The pub is in a centuries old building, not great for those with disabilities sadly, but great fun with its nooks, crannies, low beams and sprawling space,...

As our first trip to the area, we picked the Fox for dinner as it was well placed in the centre of town with great parking outside. We arrived about half past five on a Sunday and there was a nice atmosphere inside. The staff...

We stayed here for an impromptu night away, and booked for B&B. Nestled in the heart of Chipping Norton , a beautiful Oxfordshire village, it exceeded our expectations. We arrived and parked directly behind the pub, and were able to check in early as the...

Good service: they allowed us to sit and have drinks before the restaurant opened. Good beer (old hooky). Food was good but not great. Had the pork tenderloin. I liked it but my wife was not as fond of it. Triple cooked chips were not...

We stopped in Chipping Norton on our way from Blenheim to Stratford-upon-Avon and this pub was near the Bus stop. The staff was fabulous and the food was fantastic! Great pub with lots of hidden gem areas to sit and enjoy a pint.

Best Sunday lunch ever amazing gravy staff customer service faultless if I lived here I would go every Sunday for a lunch like that just like grandma used to make when I was little highly recommended

Super friendly and welcoming! Lauren and the other lady were very attentive and we really enjoyed the whole experience ( including our evening meal).

Saturday lunch for the two of us . Food was delicious. Service was good . Very busy place. You do not go to a bar you go to your table and have them serve your drinks at the tables as well which is very different.

There was a reason rhe roast lamb was served "rollled', it was a thin layer of lean meat wrapped around a large mass of gelatinous gristle and fat. When I showed the waitress, she told me I was unlucky to get the end of the...

Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. We rang in advance to make sure they were dog friendly (they are, only in the bar) and they reserved us a table next to a small nook where the dog had space to lie down and...

We stayed overnight as a motorbike stop. We were able to park our bike safely overnight just under the CCTV which was very reassuring . The building is beautiful, and the double room was comfortable, clean and warm. The bar/restaurant was as formal/casual as you...

Having frequented this establishment several times it still amazes us how poor the standard of cleaning is throughout the building. On our last visit I was shocked at the unacceptable hygiene of the floors under our table and ladies room. My male colleague correlated this...

This place is very good. Rooms and restaurant are worthy of a great review. We stayed for several nights, and we were not disappointed at all. Breakfast is an excellent selection and freshly cooked with good choice. Rooms are lovely and cosy. We had one...

Some lovely touches to be had and all very clean and good. Good sized portions and decent service. Very friendly staff.

Visiting from north wales and went for a meal here. Food was faultless, probably one of the best Sunday roast dinners we’ve ever had. And the ice cream and cheesecake for pudding topped off a great visit, will definitely be returning. Thank you for the...
