Me and my partner are on a cycle tour and booked room for the night, due to some navigation errors on our part we were very late and tired, the owner and the staff went above and beyond for us, staying late to make sure we had a place to stay and some hot food. We had an amazing sleep after a hard day and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. Can't thank the staff enough for really helping us out in our time of need. Great place and even greater people. Thank you so much, I wish I could give more stars.

We returned on Sunday for lunch after a beautiful Christmas dinner, which was the first time we had been since it was taken over. We were mainly served by the assistant manger who was so rude, not only to my husband and I but to my children also, which is why we will not be returning. We sat at our table and had our drinks order taken, we were then asked if we were ordering off the main menu or having carvery, we said carvery and the next minute she was over with 4 tokens and told us she had radioed for the chef to come serve our food. Firstly we hadn't really looked at the menu and we definitely weren't given to choice of having starters or even when to go up for our food for that matter, just rushed over. When we finished our meals she came over to clear the table and told my 6 year old son to pass her his plate? I've never been to a restaurant that has asked a child to pass over his empty plate!! My children had ice cream for dessert, there was chocolate, strawberry and vanilla to choose from. They asked if they could have a mix, she looked disgusted as she told them they were only allowed 2 scoops... I mean I would of paid extra for a spoonful of extra ice-cream, for god sake it wouldnt break the bank. The next bit was what annoyed us the most, I noticed on the menu it said sauce and sprinkles, which they didn't get. My husband took the ice creams back and asked if they could have some sauce. She returned the ice-cream "just so you know, you didn't ordered sauce and sprinkles" I said I didn't know I had to? "Yes, not every child likes it" which is fair enough but why could she not ask the kids if they would like sauce and sprinkles? Her entire attitude from start to finish was just disgusting and she should not be front of house especially dealing with children! My 8 year old discribed her as "ignorant"

Food was worth the wait as they were busy. Had beef curry which was delish an dChristmas Fayre, very filling and reasonably priced. However on looking at the bill once home was charged £2.75 for soda water and 50p for dash of lime and £2.55 for half of coke. Drinks must be most expensive in the area.

Visited here at the weekend with my husband and was amazed at the experience. We've visited here in the past but this was the best yet. We ordered veggie sausages and gravy as we arrived and these didn't take long to be brought to the table. I then had Yorkshire pudding, roasties, mash, mushy peas and carrots. The veggie sausages were soft fresh and the attentive staff were polite. We were served by Tegan, who was extremely helpful, and other staff. I recommended this place to my mam as its only £5 on a Thursday. She's just been tonight and it sounded as lovely as Sunday's for us. We even took some cuttings of meat home for our dog. Thank you staff, we'll visit again soon.

My partners family came to visit and we decided to take them here as we have been on a few occasions for carvery which has been nice , we all ordered our meals when on arrival my steak and ale pie was rock hard so l took it back up to bar and explained l couldn't eat that, the member of staff came over and asked if l wanted another l said if it was going to be in next 10 mins she came back over said yes so l replied OK, it came on 10 mins started eating 3/4 through meal a member of staff asked if others were finished and he started to take away plates he then spilted a drink over table which ending up going over my meal and over my partners mams trousers he did apologise but l couldn't finish my meal as it had spilt drink on it , on that my partner went up to speak to staff to be told l could have moved to finish my meal and also he could have another drink given , but why would he want another drink when others had finished, was offered just 10%, off cost of our meal which was 72 pounds in total which l find absolutely shocking not even offered to give my meal for nothing and my partners drink free either so we will not b returning

Only got round to writing this review , I held my wedding reception at the Retreiver bar in April 2022, having rescheduled it four times (at no extra cost). On every occasion they were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Jordan sat down a couple of times (changed my.mimd a few times) to discuss layout, food, timings , prices , capacity etc. She prepared the room on the day, did absolutely everything for me and it looked perfect. The food was georgous. Jordan and her team were amazing, would certainly hold any special event here. Well done everyone involved.

Visited while staying nearby and were very impressed with the food here. The parmos were amazing, delicious and so huge! They were served with home cooked chips and salad and we all struggled to finish. Our two teenage sons have big appetites and they managed to clear their plates but were so full that they could not manage a pudding. The place seems very popular with the locals which makes for a nice friendly atmosphere. The staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back as we want to try the carvery after seeing how good it looked.

Visited here late on a Sunday afternoon after a walk around Guisborough Woods. They only serve carveries and parmos on a sunday but it was the carvery we were after so this was fine. We ordered with the waitress then were allocated our slot to go up to the serving deck. I had large so had all 3 meats (Turkey, Pork & Beef). These were all amazing cuts and probably the best turkey i've ever tasted! The server loaded my plate up with as little or much as i asked and everything was absolutely spot on. Would highly recommend here for a carvery!

Yorkshire pudding wrap, chicken with bubble and squeak cake, and parmo. I am Yorkshire born, but I'd never heard of parmo (I had to Google it. Fascinating!)I am back home now, thinking how I could replicate those lovely meals.Gill

On holiday at Howla Hay Farm Guisborough we were going to Whitby but once there it was mobbed so decided to come home for something to eat. On the way we passed The Fox & Hounds & decided to turn back & have lunch there. Iam really glad we did the staff were so friendly & welcoming & even our dog was welcome.They did tell us it was a 45min wait for food which we didn't mind so had a few drinks while waiting. I had the gammon steak which was delicious with either a double yoked egg or 2 separate eggs which were cooked perfect as was the unusual mushrooms & the chips were home mademy partner had the hunters chicken which he also said was delicious.Well worth the wait, value for money & big portions, we will definitely go back again before we go home.

Walked in with a dog, dogs are allowed in a separate indoor area, ordered our meals and advised of a 45 minute delay, but ordered anyway. We had no objection to waiting, if it proved to be worth the wait. Hunter's chicken and a gammon, both were absolutely excellent, home made and truly well worth the wait. Both of us were outfaced by the meals. We'll be making a point of going back there again.

Booked a table for the Sunday carvery for my daughter’s birthday treat which was lovely and couldn’t fault it . We then waited 25 for our table to be cleared and was wanting a dessert menu after this wait I believe it to be the manger came over, when I explained we had waited 25mins for the dessert menu she said she was sorry but short staff and it had been busy it was 3pm the room was near empty . There were 3 waitresses who were there cleaning and re setting the tables they aware of us sat but not one attempted to come over and see to us or other customers. When we were finally approached for the dessert menu we had at this point decided we’d waited long enough now 30 minutes. Went to pay waited another 5 minutes to be told the card machine wasn’t working did we have cash ,No ,I was then asked to give my bank details for later payment but my daughter insisted it was an unsecured request I left my number for them to contact me,The lady then asked for me to check our order it was wrong ,they had got the drink order wrong which had put the cost of the bill up. I’m appalled at how unprofessional the whole service was and I willl not be recommending this place again very very unhappy customer. Beautiful food appalling service

Been a few times lately, fab carvery but this time opted for the bar menu. Everyone else picked a parmo, which there's plenty of variety for toppings. Spicy meatball, steak and onion and a fajitas one was ordered. All 3 looked and tasted amazing. Chips were nice but prefer a bit chunkier, that's just personal preference though. I ordered the toad in the hole. Unfortunately it wasn't toad in the hole when it came but just sausages sat in a giant Yorkshire pudding. The sausages were lovely but the Yorkshire was far to overdone and crispy on the edges. Slightly disappointing as I'd been looking forward to it for days. Proper toad in the hole sausages should be cooked in the Yorkshire. Service was good and staff friendly so will definately go back. Would recommend this place for value and definately parmos.

Thread bare grubby carpetsand shower cubicle door off the runners, got it back in but didn't use it.Retreiver bar had badly stained seating, god knows from what but it is dog friendly, even though signs saying no animals on seats.NYE buffet very poor and unfortunately the entertainment proved disappointing as well with a badly rehearsed singer badly out of sync with young man on the decks. Feedback galore and false starts proved very embarrassing.Had an early night as we couldn't handle it anymore.Breakfast not too bad but decided not to stay for second night even though we had paid for it.Put keys into reception box as no one readily available to speak to about our concerns.Put it down to experience but it was pretty dire, had far better rooms at Premier Inn for less than half the price.So overall i would not recommend this place as it has gone downhill so much since our last stay.

Went for lunch on the spur of the moment Friday 15th Feb, with my husband, son and two grandchildren. Really pleased to see some nice, different dishes on a gluten free menu, they also do vegan. I opted for the gluten free Parmo, it was explained that as it was cooked fresh I may have a little wait, it was worth it, delicious. I swapped chips for jacket potato and the meal was served with a lovely salad and coleslaw, very generous portions. My husband had the homemade corned beef pie from the specials board, he said there was plenty of corned beef in it and it was served with salad, coleslaw and homemade chips. Son had gammon steak, a lovely thick piece served with salad, coleslaw, fried egg and pineapple and chips, he had also ordered onion rings which were homemade too. Had he realised how generous the meal portions were he may not have ordered the onion rings, he was so full he was unable to eat all his chips which he said were really good. The grandchildren chose from the children's meal deal. They each chose one of about five mains dishes, then one each of potatoes, chips, pasta or garlic bread and one of five or six vegetables, this was accompanied by a carton of squash and followed by ice cream for £4.95 each. We were served by Jordan Gibson, she was very helpful, she also brought crayons and pictures for the children to colour in while we were waiting, a big thank you. We'll definitely be back.

I visited The Chase quite late in the day yesterday at about 4.30 when out with a family member. The place was due to close at 5 and we were unsure if we would be rushed. Can honestly say that it was absolutely amazing and fantastic. I had been recommended this by a friend. The owner Julie was the person serving us. We ordered the afternoon tea for £10 per person. It was amazing. A fantastic choice of sandwiches. There were 3 sandwiches each, a lovely little salad dish each, a slice of quiche some crisps with the sandwiches and a wrap. Then for the sweet there was a slice of cheesecake and a scone with jam and cream. Also as much tea or coffee that you could drink. If that was not enough there were additional cakes as well.

We visited for a midweek lunch just in passing, and the staff on duty were friendly and inviting. Draught beer was well kept. For lunch we shared their homemade chicken pate to start and it was lovely (and definitely plenty for two)! We then shared a chicken parmo (cos we'd seen this talked about on the programme "Redcar" and wondered what this was). Well it was delicious! And huge! And just to say (re earlier reviews of the previous owners) the place was beautifully clean. We fully recommend this bar. We aren't local but we will be back!

We stayed in the Fox & Hound on Saturday evening, 14 July, and had dinner in the restaurant. The waitress took our drinks order and advised that there was a 25 minute delay in main meals which didn't bother us as we were able to chat and enjoy our drinks before our meals. I had the stroganoff and my partner ordered the mixed grill and his portion was huge. He didn't manage to finish it but said it was excellent. Both meals were delicious.

Tried the carvery today. First time since the restaurant has changed ownership. Very impressed. Good size portions of meat. Real home made Yorkshire puddings. A really good choice of veg including cauliflower cheese & also mushy peas. A nice homely feel to the venue. Will be back again, maybe on a week day as it is slightly cheaper than a Sunday.

I visited the restaurant for a lunch with seven friends and we were placed in the Dining Room around a big round table. This place used to be so popular but negative hygiene and food reports had caused problems. I must stress that it is now under new ownership and we were pleased with the cleanliness of the pub and the value for money. Apart from one of us we all had the carvery, the food was hot and we were served by pleasant, friendly members of staff. The carvery is only £5.99 during the week so for just over £10 I had a meal, a medium glass of wine and an americano. We all thought it was good and will return at some point.

went with family for a carvery last week and i have to say it was delicious. staff were very friendly, and welcoming. carvery was hot, tasty and to our liking, with varied vegetables, roast and mashed potatoes, and the best yorkshire puds we have had in a pub yet!!!!!! overall I would recommend a visit if you have not yet tried it. It was about six pound each, which is decent value. We will certainly be going back soon.

Called in at 5.30pm on a Saturday evening for a quick bite to eat. We were seated in the restaurant which was freezing cold. Cobwebs adorned the shelving above our table (5).

Don’t confuse the restaurant with the hotel of the same name in the same building, the food was hot and tasty and the drinks reasonably priced, the staff seemed to care too, somewhere I’d revisit but not somewhere luxurious!

We came upon the Fox and Hounds Hotel after a days outing and what a delight. Although walking into the bar, which is basic, we received a lovely welcome from the staff. We had 2 dogs with us, which were welcome too. There were 6 of us in total and we ordered the buffet carvery meal, which was on the menu that evening. The hotel also offer a carvery on Wednesdays and Sundays, price £7.95 and on Thursday for £5.95. The bar also offers a varied menu.

Visited Sunday 22nd Oct, four adults. We all had the carvery, it was great value, there was plenty of variety of fresh vegetables which were nicely cooked & hot. There was a choice of three meats which were lean & tasty, they'd no crackling left out but staff went to the kitchen & brought me a lovely crunchy good sized piece. Staff were pleasant & helpful. We had three different puddings which were all nice & good size. Will be back in the future.

Heard had changed hands recently and not for the better Meal was between terrible and very poor according to the majority of us who ate there recently so shall we call it terribly poor!!!!Carvery was served at the table as where you usually serve yourself for the carvery was being used for a serve yourself Indian buffet The vegetables weren't brought to the table in tureens It looked as if they had just been thrown on the plate Meat was very much in short supply Yorkshire puddings were as hard as bullets and seemingly cooked in old fat There were no roast potatoes to be had Vegetables served consisted of mashed potato turnip carrots and cabbageGammon steaks appeared to be the 2 for a fiver you get in a supermarket and not very good Service was slow to the extremeBar staff sat in bar while you stood at bar waiting to be served
