Lovely place and really good food. Only knocked off a star on atmosphere as the bar area is a nicer place to eat than the restaurant if you want a cosy sunday lunch, open fires and quaint setting, restaurant more formal set up. Just a suggestion, could do with better veggie or even vegan options

My wife and I chose the Fox and Hounds to celebrate our Wedding, we invited approx 40 guests (family and friends) and we hired the main dining room. Bianca & James were amazing, right from the initial discussions they were so helpful about helping us to plan the day, and on the day it went so smoothly, they decorated the dining room beautifully and the food and service all day was superb. Every one of our guests said how delicious the food was, we all had a wonderful day. A massive thank you to Bianca, James and all the staff for making our day so special. I would recommend the Fox and Hounds to anyone, we cannot wait to go back very soon.

A huge disappointment! I took a friend for her 80th birthday. The service was almost hostile, the food mediocre and the price through the roof! This has been my favourite restaurant for over 15 years and has never disappointed before. I was very embarrassed!

An extensive menu with well presented dishes and very efficient and friendly service. One of our number had allergy problems and the waitress was exceptionally well informed and able to offer solid guidance. Not to everyone's taste but three of the six of us relished the black pudding with friend egg.

Lovely pub, great staff, food was really good. The chef can really grill squid, it was perfect. The pork escalope was perfectly cooked and crispy, although it was huge, more than I could manage. Best panna cotta I have had in UK for dessert. Sausage roll from the shop was really good too, more sausage than pastry, but great texture and seasoning. I am not a local sadly, if I was this would be a very regular haunt!!

Stopped off for a light lunch on the way to Norfolk as was drawn by the menu online. Everything we had was excellent. The squid off the Josper was delicious, pasta al dente and quail very good. I agree with a previous review about quail not really spatchcocked but it was still excellent and so rare to find on menus for some obscure reason. Service polite and prompt. Would definitely recommend.

Very disappointed with lunch. The cheese souffle was actually not a souffle but more like an omelette, and cold in the centre. The spatchcock quail was left whole, not spatchcock with limp skin, under cooked, and lacking in flavour. The ice cream was good but not made in house. I have been here a few times before and enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. Something has changed, and not for the better.

Past experience good, Today was very disappointing. Cold, under cooked, and over seasoned food. Food is not as described on the menu. Mediocre. I'm not sure if under new management, or new chef, or the chef couldn't cope with a large table of 35 at the same time as our table of 2. Whatever the reason, I won't be back.

We wanted a joyful wedding reception with excellent food and certainly weren't disappointed. We had our wedding reception at The Fox and Hounds after our ceremony at Place House Hall. The room looked fantastic and was very private for the whole afternoon. Bianca was very flexible about our menu; all of the food arrived swiftly and hot so that 28 people where able to eat together. We had so many compliments about the room, food and service. The cheese and hazelnut souffle and venison where huge hits. Thank you Bianca and James for our fun, happy and delicious wedding reception.

I had tagliatelle prawns, belly of pork and the cheeses, all of which were superb. 6 people all thought the same, well cooked homemade food, service on point (even offering the dogs a roast beef treat!) We will defo be back!

What a find! We did not book. Totally spontaneous visit and what a lovely space. Kind staff. Dog friendly and a “pub” menu that would not be out of sorts in somewhere like Clerkenwell. A joy to see. My partner said the fish cakes were the best she ever had. My skate with capers was beautifully cooked. My only quibble - not enough of the monks beard and the Ratte were not Ratte. Top of the night for us- a transcendental panacotta with Yorkshire rhubarb. Exceptional. Truly. Go and enjoy!

Had not eaten here for years but as good as I remembered. Delicious food and friendly helpful service from front of house. One of our party had been delayed and they juggled the starters for the other three and then matched up the mains to coincide with his arrival. Had the terrine, cheese soufflé, and goat’s cheese salad to stat followed by the pork in cider and the rigatoni with lamb. Cheeseboard, pear and almond tart and ice cream to finish. All very delicious.

I found this in the Michelin guide and was pleased to see it was only 15 mins away. I thought it’d be perfect to celebrate by boyfriends birthday, we’re both foodies! But it was a bit of a let down. Some of the food was lovely but not perhaps what I’d expect from somewhere in the Michelin guide. My pork chop was full of flavour but could have done with some sort of gravy, my boyfriend’s quail for fine but the chips really let it down they felt quite cheap and very dry! Both puddings were to be fair really lovely and our starters weren’t too bad. For somewhere that is price slightly higher than your average food pub I would have expected better quality especially on the chips. Service was absolutely lovely and the waitresses were really friendly and gave our pooch lots of fuss. We would come back for a drink but perhaps not again for food

Truly one of the best places to dine in the UK. I started with the minestrone soup, while my husband had the tuna tataki. For our main, we shared a delicious duck dish, followed by profiteroles for dessert. Every dish was fantastic, made with top-notch ingredients. We also grabbed some focaccia to go, which was incredibly tasty. The customer service was friendly and quick. I highly recommend a visit, We’ll definitely be returning!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We were greeted by two lovely ladies and made to feel welcome. Two of us ordered cheese soufflé that did surprise us. It was very stodgy with a dark brown crust on the top. The pork chop was delicious but really needed a lovely pork gravy (so easy to make with the pork juices) and apple sauce. The potatoes accompanying the Dover Sole were very floury and surely Charlotte potatoes or similar would have been more appropriate. I would welcome the chef’s reply to my soufflé query as it baffles us. Probably wouldn’t visit again.

Hi, I wanted to take my family out for a special meal to celebrate my 70th birthday. I went there last night 27 January. I booked a chauffeur driven minibus to take us all there from Stevenage and collect us later. I chose this restaurant and knew they had just refurbed their dining room. I was not disappointed- the refurbishment was lovely and classy. I had requested pink champagne for our arrival Billecart Salmon pink rose. As soon as the menus arrived there was a lot of discussion amongst us all as there was such a good choice of starters, mains and deserts. There were also specials available as well as these regulars options. Four of our party chose the lamb specials for mains. They said it was superb. I chose the Portuguese clams for starters - excellent - followed by cod loin on a bed of Indian curry mussels- excellent. Five of our party managed deserts. I and a few others had a coffee/ tea. We then retired to the bar for liqueurs etc until our transport arrived. Thank you for a lovely night with superb food, service and setting.

Interesting and exceptionally busy venue. They welcome dogs, one sat near my feet watching me a lot, but well behaved! Took a little time to order and get my first course, but after that service was well paced. Generally happy with service, any slight glitches were a reflection of how busy it as. Josper squid was delicious with nice leaves too. Well matched with perfect chorizo. Main was a very good quality roast beef, well presented nicely cooked, with very well cooked vegetables. Dessert was on a whole different level… Paris Brest, choux pastry, praline cream, hot chocolate sauce & toasted nuts of exceptional taste and quality, only niggle would like Choux slightly lighter! Lovely staff, clean characterful toilets. Well worth the hours drive just past Harlow.

We visited this pub whilst cycling in glorious sunshine last Saturday. What an absolute gem of a place, immaculate gardens beautifully clean toilets, coffee and freshly made sausage rolls generously filled with quality sausage-meat along with a good selection of fresh pastries. All items were reasonably priced. We seemed to be the only foursome in there at around 10am to 12 noon and I think that’s because even though the pub is situated along a busy cycle route most cyclists don’t know it exists, as there is no mention on the website welcoming cyclists.Plus, the A board outside just has the main menu. It really needs another A board with ‘coffee, sausage rolls, pastries and cyclists welcome’. If this also listed prices, I’m sure the daytime clientele would increase dramatically. My only comment for improvement is a mug of coffee always goes down better than a cup even if there is an additional charge for a large coffee. I will definitely be back and wish this excellent business every success.

I had high hopes after reading reviews for this gastropub but I was sadly underwhelmed. We ate in the back dining room which is OK but lacks the nice atmosphere of the bar area. The food is fine but not amazing, the Frito Misto starter at £15 was tasty but definitely not worth the price. The bill at the end had extra drinks that we had not had and even after pointing this out checking the ticket when we got home we had still been overcharged, one drink had been removed and not the other. I would say I'm not completely disgruntled but I'm not gruntled either. Yes grunted is a word.

My partner and I eat out regularly. We love our food and really appreciate experiencing the way flavours are layered, and coupled together on a plate. We appreciate everything from classic dishes, simple but flavoursome dishes to a fusion of experimentation with ingredients, flavours and textures. We are fortunate enough to be able to be able to dine out in several counties and countries. Our visit to The Fox and Hounds in Hunsdon was nothing more than ordinary, as far as the food goes. But what was extraordinary was the prices for our ordinary food. We eat out in London regularly and expect to pay a premium price for a chefs talent, and training, combined with a lovely setting and a great atmosphere, I’m sure the chef here is talented, but the food was average at best, the atmosphere was sadly lacking and although one waitress was very friendly the service wasn’t great. This was a Saturday evening and for the prices charged we just would have loved to have had a better experience. In fact we were willing it!! It’s really not about the money… it’s more about our precious time, I absolutely love leaving positive reviews, but sadly on this occasion we really shouldn’t be coming away feeling ‘somewhat had over’ and hungry. Disappointing to say the least. Sorry but from the heart!

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch at the Fox and Hounds Hunsdon. They managed to accomodate us on Easter Sunday at the last minute with no issues. The roast beef was cooked to perfection and the cut tasted delicious. The Yorkshire pudding was light and fluffy. The vegetables were perfectly cooked and the gravy was rich and flavorful. We finished our meal with a delicious scoop of ice cream and an espresso. The service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, and she made sure that we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The restaurant is located in a beautiful old building, and the interior is decorated in a traditional style. The restaurant was busy, but it didn't feel crowded. We felt like we were dining in someone's home. We highly recommend the Fox and Hounds Hunsdon to anyone looking for a delicious Sunday roast and excellent service. The bill was more expensive than what we would normally pay but it reflected well in the experience.

This was our first visit to the "Fox and Hounds" since Lockdown. Put simply it is as good as ever it was if not even better. I wanted to say "thank you" to three ezceptional women in my life - an osteopath, a doctor and my wife. All four of us had a splendind meal, with time to savour each course, with time to talk and enjoy each other's company, with no feeling of being rushed. All three courses that I had (Prawn Tagliatelli, Venison Pie and Honeycomb ice-cream, all of which I thoroughly recommend) were excellent I really applaud the genius who had the idea of serving the very palatable house in in half litre carafes. I really hope to return before too long.

My stuffed pork came with perfect crackling and smooth buttery mash and turnip top greens and a gorgeous jus. Just sipping my dessert wine while waiting for sticky toffee pudding which i know will be as delicious as the rest Amazing place. Love it. Will come again.

Absolutely fantastic pre Christmas lunch. Only popped in to pick up my ‘at home’ Christmas order but had to stay for lunch after seeing the menu. It was very hard to choose, I could have gone for anything on the menu really as it all looked so good. The burrata salad was fab and quite unusual, but it really worked well. The venison main was immense, perfectly cooked and full of flavour with a little kick from the pepper. If you ever get the time I’d highly recommend the F&H, well worth a drive.

I had the Cod Cheeks to start. Deep fried to panko bread crumb perfection. My main was a Venison haunch. Beautifully presented and super tasty. The meat was a bit on the chewy side but little can be done about that. All the table were happy with the quality, taste and presentation of the food. Very glad we visited and will definitely look to visit again.

I'm sad to say the Fox and Hounds didn't quite meet expectations. Our Sunday lunch was ok but the price for a 2 course Sunday lunch was not very good value. Our group of 4 were seated in a simple dining area at the back of the pub - wooden floors and tables create a rustic feel - and there was a real fire at one end which was nice. One of our group had the roast beef (supplement of £6) and very much enjoyed it but the huge Yorkshire pud with it was definitely almost burnt. Venison mains were enjoyed. Unfortunately my pheasant was tough, dry and tasteless. Perhaps I was just unlucky. Starters of salds (goats cheese, burrata) were good and portions very generous. Mains were accompanied by a nice selection of fresh veg, served in a dish and placed in the middle of the table. A £30 bottle of red wine was disappointing. There were a lot of families (some with well behaved children, some not) which didn't make for the most relaxing ambiance. All in a all an ok lunch, but wouldn't rush back.

Service and atmosphere was nonetheless good. If the food quality was better, will definitely recommend and return to the restaurant.

It is a gastropub with a decent reputation, as a "local", it is a bit limited.

This pub restaurant looks small from the outside, but all the spaces were perfect for a small wedding party. The outside spaces were very pleasant with plenty of comfortable searing and interesting plants and shrubs giving a homely touch. Inside a buffet was served and another area housed the disco near the bar. Food was lovely, good taste, good variety served swiftly, the bar had a great choice of both alcoholic and soft drinks plus excellent coffee. Staff were attentive, friendly and helpful.

On the way to the Henry Moore foundation we stopped at this little pop in and quite a yummy lunch. Some traditional dishes and some with a twist, served by the owner with her cockapoo Horace trailing behind.

We had our wedding here in June and cannot fault it! From the planning/organisation down to the very last detail was exceptional! The pub owners and staff really went above and beyond for us and made our wedding day absolutely amazing and unforgettable! We didn't want the night to end. The food was flawless! Positive comments all round and all our guests still speak of it to this day. The hospitality was extremely welcoming and attentive, always there to help and serve. Thank you Bianca and to your wonderful team for all your help and making our wedding day so so so special! Can't wait to visit for a lovely lunch xxx

We came for our wedding anniversary. Really delicious and fresh food. Spotlessly clean. Nice vibe. However we were quite offended by the poster in the mens toilets. It was blasphemous and crude and unnecessary. And not even particularly amusing. We mentioned this in a courteous manner at the end but there was no apology. If it was blasphemous to the Muslim faith it would be taken down in a trice. It marred an otherwise wonderful time. Many thanks

Saw the inviting treats in the window and the VG on some of the labels, so went in to confirm if it meant vegan, which I was happy to learn it did. Ordered the cinnamon whirl and blueberry bakewell. The cinnamon whirl was really tasty and filling and my friend really enjoyed the bakewell slice. Will definitely visit again if we return to the area.
