What a farce! I was so looking forward to having a lovely meal with my family, but the incompetence and rudeness of the staff completely ruined my visit! I have a list... 1 , before you give out the menu know what's available and what's not . 2 , have suitable options and if a error has occurred at the least show empathy instead of making the customer feel like they are being awkward. 3, if the customer gives you a dietary requirement, please do not bring out somthing which is not suitable fir them, and if they try and make your job easier by instead of sending the product back handing it to another family member , maybe don't include that item against their order , but allow it for a complimentary option , seeming it was the error of the kitchen. 4, when issuing the bill at least double check that the item which was not available, is not left on the bill . 5 , when the customer lets you know and explains that the meal they had and the service was not what is considered "good service" then the response given is "we are all human and it's a small mistake" 6 , then the staff member takes the bill away and takes forever to return it with not so much as a polite smile , but a real crappy attitude. 7, just maybe Fox and Hounds compensate for your mistakes and work on training a certain female staff member what good customer service looks like????

Went to lunch Sunday and had the roast dinner. We chose the beef, the service was great, the meal was amazing, except the beef was so tough we could not eat it. Such a shame as the rest was amazing, we did mention it at the time but was just shrugged off and not really acknowledge. So we mentioned it again at time of paying, and again was just shrugged off. We have been to lunch here many times and have never faulted it before. Such a shame would think twice now before going back..

After visiting Bath for the weekend, my Wife & I were looking for a place to stay. to extend our lovely sunny weekend. As we were passing the Fox & Hounds, on Booking.Com it showed it had one room left. What a find, the staff were extremely helpful & the room was lovely & perfect. We booked a table for dinner, which was delicious and they also had live music which was brilliant, a lovely unplanned evening. We booked breakfast for the next morning & this was absolutely fabulous too. Thank you to all the staff for making us welcome & for making the perfect end to our wonderful 40th Wedding weekend away.

Really disappointed after a colleague recommended this place. Arrived at 7pm and didn't get mains until around 8:30/8:40 (this was after 1 starter) after raising it with the waitress. She was lovely and said they had a large function on but it would have been good to know this in advance before we ordered so we would have been prepared for a wait. When the meals came out mine was extremely bland and my mum thought hers was too. The waitress apologised and offered to switch it for another meal but I didn't want anything given the wait time we already had so turned down the offer. So the meal was removed and taken off the bill. I feel a supervisor could have come over and had a word given the few times we had to speak to the waiting staff- assuming he was the man wondering around the the white shirt- but no apology was given from the supervisor. Really disappointed and won't be returning which was a shame as the pub is visually lovely and the outside garden looked lovely. Just very poor on the food.

The Foxes were brilliant at helping us plan my father's 80th Birthday surprise party. Every request was met without hesitation. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was excellent and plenty of it. You will not be disappointed with the portion sizes. The function room is warm and cosy and set the atmosphere well. We cannot thank them enough for all they did, a shout out to Nikki who was amazing the past 4 months trying to set things up and of course the chef and his team - there were clean plates at the end. Bar staff insisted on doing whatever they could to support us. Well done Foxes, we will be back soon !

Been here before and it was very good but on this occasion it was a bit of a disaster! We ordered our food the day before. Our meal was 2.30 but the food finally came out at 4.45. No apology or explanation. There was 15 of us and they had a party on so it was busy but nobody approached us. Food was OK. Some of us really enjoyed the food but some of us were disappointed. Then we were hit with a £30 service charge which we didn’t pay. I never write bad reviews but the final straw was receiving a parking ticket for £60! To be fair, that was our mistake but still annoying. As I’ve said, in the past had great meals there. This was poor but we will put it down to them being busy.

Wow this place was a suprise. I had not been here for years but they have really up'ed their game. The food was excellant (9 of us), perfectly cooked steak, lamb and burgers! & service was fantastic. Pro's - Great Service - Greak cooking - Nice selection of drinks - Nice atmosphere - Reasonable Prices - Pretty Pub and very nicely done inside - Garden a decent side with what looked liked an outside bar and stage Con's - Could of done without the Balsmic sauce on the steak that overpowered a great cut of meat (this could of been my choice of sauce) - Around 21:00 the Karaoke started which made it diffulcult to talk in the main bar area which prompted us to leave. We would of stayed for another hour or so. - Garden a little tired but has great potential All in all highly recommended and I would definitely revisit but perhaps request a table not in the main bar area to avoid the karaoke!

On Wednesday I booked a table for 5 to arrive at 7pm on Saturday. Having never visited before but passed it many times we were impressed that the car park was busy. Made us think we were in for a good evening if it was this popular. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case. When we opened the car doors the volume of the music was deafening. It was coming from, we found out later, a function for 100 people. After entering the car reg in the entrance to the pub it was obvious that there was something else going on as the pub was heaving. We were told the landlord had a private party going on as well. We were shown to our table which was right opposite a door leading to a function room with more deafening music. I asked if we could move and thankfully the waitress was very accommodating. We were shown to a table by the window only to be deafened by piped music coming from the speaker above our heads. I’m certainly not against music but at least keep it at a level where a conversation can be had. Not a good start. We did talk about leaving then (shame we didn’t) but as we were all hungry we persevered. Eventually we were able to place our food order. Two steak burgers with added cheese, a Southern fried chicken burger, belly pork with roasted vegetables and a chicken breast with a ‘Spanish’ style sauce. Some time after ordering a very apologetic young waitress came and told us the belly pork wasn’t available. So a pork chop was ordered as a replacement. We also placed an order for another round of drinks as we were advised it could be a long wait. And it was. When the food eventually arrived we couldn’t believe what we were being served. All the burgers were over cooked making them very dry. The buns were burnt. The chicken burger could have come from KFC and been better. The steak burgers (not sure where the cheese was) looked like McDonald's rejects and the pork chop couldn’t be cut even after requesting a steak knife. After waiting some time to attract the waitresses attention she said she would speak to someone about the problem. More time passed so the two men in the party started eating their meals. The rest of us picked at our food. Eventually the ‘deputy’ manager came over and agreed to credit the three meals we hadn’t eaten. He explained they were very busy and several staff had phoned in sick. All of which I explained wasn’t our problem and no excuse for poor service and inedible food. The two young girls waiting were run ragged we did tip them as they did their best. It would have been far better to have closed the food service and not taken any bookings than try to make as much money as possible and giving such poor service. What a shambles and never to be repeated by us.

This has been a difficult review to rate as some aspects of the experience were 5 star and others were 3 star (or less). This was our first visit to the pub and initial impressions were excellent. The large gardens appeared very good and the internal decor of the pub was great - there seemed to be a good atmosphere and it was quite friendly. The menu was extensive and the service to begin with was very good. Our mains arrived in a timely fashion, were served politely and the food was superb. After this things seemed to go downhill…….there wasn’t any particular haste to offer us desserts, despite the fact that we’d been told before we were seated that there was a time by which we had to vacate the table. Eventually our dessert order was taken and then we waited……. and waited……. and waited. We enquired as to the whereabouts of our 4 puddings repeatedly and were told - ‘the kitchen’s very busy’…….’they’ll be here soon’……’10 more mins’……’they’re just doing them’……etc etc until finally (after almost 50 minutes of waiting) they arrived. After all this, they were very disappointing - the sticky toffee pudding was particularly uninspiring, dry and hard. The pub was exceptionally busy, with a family event also going on in the function room, however, in our opinion pubs shouldn’t accept bookings if they’re unable to cope with the food orders. The final insult was that as we got up to leave, the table was cleared and wiped down whilst we were still putting on our coats and gathering our bags - making it quite clear they needed the table. This felt very rude given the time they’d made us wait. We’d spent over 2 ½ hours having a 2 course meal which might have been quite pleasant as an evening meal for a couple, but for lunch with a family was certainly not ideal.

Visited this pub yesterday evening with 3 friends for a catch up meal. It’s a very tidily presented and cosy sort of pub and well set up to cater for diners. The 4 of us selected different choices from a menu that certainly looked to include something for all appetites. There is also a ‘specials board’ which definitely enhances and supplements the regular menu.The food is freshly prepared and when ours arrived I don’t think anyone was disappointed with either the quality or the quantity. It is also worth mentioning the staff who were attentive, friendly and very helpful. Overall this can only be judged as a very positive and enjoyable experience - I would recommend the Fox and Hounds to others.

It has a very interesting menu, not run of the mill like many other pubs of this type. I had the three bean smoky chilli, which was delicious - just the right amount of spice. The lady serving us was extremely friendly, cheerful and helpful. We came away resolving that we would come here again.

We were staying at the Holiday Inn Express a few miles away and were looking for somewhere to have dinner when we came across the Fox & Hounds. The bar staff were great and made us feel really welcome (as did the waitress later). As it was early so we booked a table then spent an hour enjoying drinks in the sun in the well maintained garden, it was nice to find clean painted trestle table rather than the more usual mildew.Inside it looks newly refurbished and the decor could be best described as 'quirky' but it is a nice comfortable environment to enjoy a meal.The menu doesn't offer an extensive choice which I always take as a good sign - better to cook some things well rather than try to cook everything possible. There were also some specials on offer. We all enjoyed our food, in my case I had calamari followed by a pork chop in a delicious sauce with fresh cooked vegetables (too many, I couldn't eat them all) and mash. I don't hesitate to recommend this as a pub to either enjoy a meal or just a drink. At weekend I think it would be advisable to book in advance because it was very busy.(This is the second time I've submitted this review because the fox & Hounds is also in Tripadvisor as an attraction for some reason)

We have stayed here for numerous weeks and continue to come back whilst my husband works in Swindon. We absolutely love this pub it is a real gem. The food is always freshly cooked and of a high standard for a great price with a varied menu and special board. If you are around on a Sunday then you would be mad not to have the Sunday roast it's a real treat especially the Yorkshire pudding. The accommodation is spotless and stylish with lovely decked patios onto some of the rooms. The staff and owners could not be more helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble. Together they have created such a fabulous public house which is simply the best you could hope to find ( and we have stayed at many!). Highly, highly recommended.

Lovely clean pub, newly decorated, standard pub menu. Rooms were spotless and of very good size! Very quiet and is far enough away from pub and entrance. Stayed in family room (with wet room) - had 2 balconies. Would recommend.

We went here for my friends birthday on Saturday, we booked to stay the night and booked in for dinner. I'm not one to usually write a review but was so impressed with this place I felt I had too. The service we received was simply lovely, nothing was too much for these gracious hosts, The food was simply outstanding, we all ordered the fillet steak, everyone asked for it to be done to their liking, which it was, my mum notoriously doesn't like any kind of vegetables , only pea's, which weren't on the menu but they went out of their way and gave her pea's with an extra pot of gravy on the side! the quality of the bedrooms are fab, the small touches, like having bottles of water in the room, TV's and shower gel in the shower (something I always forget) the rooms are all spacious, some with a lovely balcony area over looking the paddock where I enjoyed a cup of tea watching the sun rise. The breakfast the next day was exceptional, they catered to everyone's needs, offering a continental breakfast with pastries to a good old English breakfast, adapted to your own requirements. The staff were all so friendly and helpful I genuinely couldn't have asked for more on this special day. We have already booked for the fire work celebrations in November! Cant wait to return here!

Visited here with members of my family for a mid-week early evening meal and get together. One of my grand-daughters has a restricted diet and we made a simple request for something that was not on the menu (there was nothing listed on the very restricted menu that she could eat). Staff so un-helpful that we walked out and went to another pub just down the hill (on the opposite side of the road) where they could not have been kinder or more helpful. So for the sake of good customer relations and kindness to a child they lost out on 9 meals and drinks. One mark for the hanging baskets. I will not go there again

New owner extremely rude! Roast lamb ordered, Roast Beef delivered. Even though we were told it was lamb, three of us tried and it was definitely beef! Waitresses lovely though, couldn’t do enough to help! Sediment in the wine and a lot more Gluten free options needed.

Today we as a family had lunch at the Fox and it didn't disappoint, our waitress was new to the job but was very helpful, the food was very good and the bill was reasonable, what more can you ask for. We will be returning soon.

Visited for lunch on a Wednesday. Was busy but well managed. Lovely welcome from lady behind bar who assured me it was fine to take our dog in the beer garden. Couldn't fault the food,drinks or service. We live in Swindon but have never heard of the pub. I call it a hidden gem in wroughton and well worth a visit. Didn't know the name of the lady behind the bar but she deserves an award for excellent customer service. Will definitely return

The food was of the highest quality, good portions and well presented. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. No request was too much of an obstacle.

Stayed for one week working in the local area. The bar area is fantastic and very up to date. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are absolutely amazing and a few even have a private decking terrace. I would recommend to anyone.

We booked the Fox & Hounds for Sunday lunch after a walk in the area. The owners have done a great job of refurbishing the pub; it has a light, yet cosy feel to it. The Sunday roasts were great, & the meals were excellent value. My only problem (& this was the same when I had eaten at the pub before) was with the waiting staff. They were not rude, but it felt as though they had never served food or drink before.

Dropped in to check out the Fox and Hounds. Seemed to have been refurbished recently and looked very smart. Plenty of seating. Arkells beer not our favourite but still two nice beers here. Need to try the food next time.

Stayed here on business after recommendations from colleagues but sadly disappointed. The accommodation is basic and honestly poor and dirty. The pub is ok but overpriced food and poor beer let it down.

I'm not sure why this restaurant is still showing 4.5 stars. I live in the village and badly want to support all local pubs and eateries however having been to the fox 3 times now, nothing has changed. The environment and staff are fine however the length of wait for food is unacceptable! If the pub is busy of quiet, you still have to wait between 40 min and an hour.

Sunday Roast and a pudding for £13.50. Can't really complain at that. Food was plentiful and well cooked. Pleasant surroundings and a good atmosphere. Burgers, Curries etc offered Monday to Wednesday also look like good deals. Would happily return.

We had a great lunch here Saturday lunchtime. The staff were friendly and the decor is great. There was lots to choose from on the menu and the food was really good. Great fish and chips with nice chunky chips and a really delicious fish pie. The puds were good too. Nice kids menu as well. I would recommend this pub.

We were lucky enough o be able to visit here on two occasions. First time for a traditional delicious Fish and Chip supper. Then, on Sunday, although quite late in the afternoon they served us with a superb Sunday Lunch. The Staff were extremely friendly and did all they could to make our visit one to remember. Hope we can go there again sometime.

I normally have a lovely experience,i am used to the lovely focused staff and incredible drinks however, the staff that was serving on the 4th of june were unfocused, chatting to each other which left me and other customers waiting for about 10 mins, took them ages to make as they were chatting and gossiping! i normally don’t like writing reviews but felt this was necessary:/ photo is supposed to be a mint choc chip frostino 🤦‍♀️

We fancied a change from the hotel restaurant and the menu the Freke Arms offered had plenty of gluten-free options as well. We booked and received a message back quickly confirming the booking. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table promptly. Menu options were explained clearly and there were several specials on offer. The food we received was plentiful and very tasty indeed and the beer and wine were delicious. All the staff were friendly and we had a good chat about the pub as it had a bit of history. Karen and her staff went above and beyond and the service we received was first class. If we are ever in the area again we would certainly stop by the Freke Arms for a meal.
