The Fox House in Sheffield

We had a lovely morning / afternoon walking. To finish our walk we had a lovely lunch in Fox House. The staff were very friendly and welcoming to us and our dog. I asked for a carrot for him (odd request I know) but the girl sorted it. The little things make a big difference. The Food was so good, we enjoyed both the starter and main. Definitely recommend after a good walk.

Had a great experience at the fox house. All the staff were very friendly, specifically the assistant manager lily who catered to all our needs and made sure we had the best time possible

Beautiful meal, really enjoyed our evening Staff were great especially Lilly.

Quaint, very friendly, restaurant in a lovely location, serving nice food at not too bad prices.

We came here last night for a meal and if I’m honest we were very disappointed. First of all my husband orderd a ribeye steak which in our opinion it was NOT a ribeye. It didn’t look like one and looked more like a rump, it was very tough and chewy. When my husband mentioned it the lady who took our bill said it could have been a suppplier issue or a mistake 😳 Secondly I ordered the lamb kebabs which I’ve had before, usually the skewer is really hot keeping the meat warm, last night it wasn’t hot and my lamb was luke warm. Also it comes with a slaw but all I got was a mound of pineapple. Thirdly the restaurant was quiet but we were seated in the dog area which I wasn’t impressed with as we didn’t have a dog, we spent £67 and wasn’t impressed. 😡

Great food and good selection of beers.

Very slow service over 1 hour wait for food. Many tables has not be cleared.

Went for a roast after a lovely walk. Ordered 3 roast dinners at 12.49. First one turned up around half past 1. Second one 14:10 and it’s 14:27 and we are still waiting on the third. Bar staff very unhelpful saying they will go check on it and you hear nothing more. Wouldn’t recommend.

Nice inn situated near the Longshaw estate and the Burbage Valley. Sell a range of food and drinks.

Me and my family came last week and the service was great, fast and so nice. Thank you Fraser for serving us we had the best time, would definitely recommend. 👍

Thanks for helping 5 thirsty climbers out later on yesterday evening.😁

Generally very disappointing, both the food and the service left a lot to be desired It was my daughter’s 40th birthday, no welcome or attempt to make the evening special. The service was exceptionally slow, the food was also incredibly disappointing. One member of our party booked fish and chips, which looked nice, but the chips were cold. I had the king prawn skewer….there were 5 tiny prawns, in their shell and overcooked so difficult to remove from their shells, again accompanying chips were cold. Another member of our party had the chicken burger, which he described as decidedly average and the chicken was overcooked. No one offered us sweets and I stood for 15 minutes waiting to pay the bill, several members of staff walked past me and no one asked if I needed help…I had to practically pin a member of staff down to pay the bill! Lovely location and super for a drink outside, but I wouldn’t recommend dining there, very expensive and not what we expected at all.

Great food and great service from our server Amelia. Highly recommended.

Lovely little place to stop off and chill after hiking

The pub was lovely and the service was great, especially Charlotte, who was so accommodating, professional and very good with a large group of us.

The service was amazingly horrible. We walked-in on Sunday lunch and we had to wait almost two hours for our food💀💀💀 They never serve food. If you are lucky, you will get your food but otherwise you need to fight. It wasn’t only our experience. people seating next table to us also had to go shout at kitchen to get the food. So if you don’t get food in 30min, no matter how the pub is full you should go ask and shout to kitchen for your food. After an hour waiting we go and ask to server but that red hair women just told us our food go to kitchen just 20mins ago and just irresponsibly leave. So i found another male server and asked again and find out that our food was even not in the queue. That 20min food was someone else’s food. Amazing! So we end up waiting around 1 hour and 45 mins. Finding a kind server to look for your food is customer’s another responsibility in this pub. For the highlight the food was cold! But we just eat it and leave the pub. Never go for food in this restaurant. Also beef sunday roast is not good. Rather go for pork. Amazing time wasting for customer who spend over 50£ here.:)

I visited today for Sunday lunch and WOW it was amazing! I was very kindly welcomed into the fox house by a young man called Billy, and although all tables were fully booked (the place was heaving!) Billy managed to help me find a table outside in the lovely sunshine! I had a sunday trio which was absolutely beautiful! the wait for food wasn’t long at all to say how busy the place was! all the new staff were attentive and kept the tables cleaned ready for the next person, a lovely lady called Paige served me at the bar when i ordered my food and drink, she was absolutely delightful and was so helpful explaining the menu items! i just want to add, there was a very rude customer on the next table to me, but the staff handled the situation really well, they’re all credit to the business. i look forward to my next visit!

Came with my family for lunch, the staff were friendly, the food was good. Will definitely be coming back

I visited the fox house with a couple of friends after a walk in the peaks. We sat out in the garden which had a beautiful view and although it was busy we got served quickly by Lily who was very friendly! We plan to visit again soon to try out their menu :)

We intend to stay here in the summer. The new staff are all eager to bring this lovely place up to the highest standard, in fact they have already brought so many improvements that it will definitely be our go to venue.

No napkins and sorry…… 1 singular onion ring with the signature burger 🤷🏼 WHAT THE HELLY BERRY

We was a group of 18 people. We have order in forehand. It seems like they were not prepared for us. Confusing about what we have ordered and who have what. We couldn't eat together because of different serving times of the food. You also forgot 1 main course. The food was cold and not well prepared.

Been here a bunch of times over the last year and the qualitys really gone up. Was here today for lunch and the food was as good but my gosh the service was so good. Staff so professional and kind. Charlotte and Lily absolute stars

We came yesterday after a long walk and it was lovely, super friendly!

Been for dinner for the first time at The Fox house. Was quite a drive from my house in Barnsley, but wow was it worth it. Lovely meal and very friendly staff. They were attentive and helpful. Our server was a well presented and well mannered man called Billy and he couldn’t do enough to make our meal enjoyable. Cerys and Emma on the bar were very nice too and the overall ambiance of the place was very chilled. Good food, good choice of drinks and lovely location. Would deffo recommend and will be returning again. Thanks to all ❤️

Really good food and atmosphere walm and cosy pub my server Alex was very helpful and welcoming

Can't complain at all, came here after a walk nearby and I've got nothing to complain about. I did catch one staff members name which was Alex, a couple other staff also served me and made sure my food was good. The food was very nice and the service was perfect. If I'm in the area again I will be sure to come back.

Popped in today for a drink and what a difference! The beer garden is looking so much nicer and all the staff were super friendly! Looking forward to returning for some food in the near future!!

Messy. Smiling service but not to the point.

WOW! After our recent visit last night for our tea I had to write a review on this place (normally don't bother) We decided to dine here due to the setting and how picturesque the Fox House is and we were not disappointed by the food, hospitality and location, will 100% return will provisions to stop the night and enjoy a ramble over the moors!

Lovely food, lovley atmosphere. Beautiful scenery will 100% be returning.

Lovely pub, it was very busy and the queue was really long so it took a while to get drinks with only 2 people serving. Still a nice time though with great nearby walks!

I don't leave negative feedback very often but the staff at The Fox House were a long way from their A game today. Food took a long time to arrive and one of our group didn't even receive their meal. He was given complimentary chips and onion rings. The chips arrived first for which he requested tomato sauce which never arrived. The onion rings arrived a long time later and were burnt. This was amongst a few other service related irritations. I've been a few times before and it's always been great but not today. It's not as if they were too busy either. Disappointed and won't be returning any time soon

Lovely relaxed location. Good selection of beers. Food was excellent and well presented. Will definitely be paying another visit when next in the area.

Booking only for food when we went yesterday, this isn’t the first time and could see other customers also annoyed. The sign isn’t clear as it’s on the left when you walk in not on the bar. The service on the bar is also slow. Hopefully they will sort it out but not very good yesterday.

Just arrived at The Fox House on a lovely Wednesday afternoon for a late lunch only to be told that it's bookings only, we can't have any food. There is barely anybody here, it's a Wednesday afternoon when most people are at work, so it's not busy or booked up. What do you mean I can't order food? What is the point of a countryside pub if you can't sit down and order some food? Defeats the purpose does it not? There was a chef walking about front of house so he obviously wasn't busy. Utterly bizarre policy. I won't be coming back, the only use this place has is as a car park.

Good spot for a drink after a days walking

Thought it might’ve improved but sadly not. Incompetent, rude bar staff. Don’t bother, try The Grouse close by for a genuine and friendly welcome. @vintageinns, train your staff properly, please!

Amazing pub dinner, really great food and Vicky was great, lovely indoor area, in such a great location for parts of the peaks, will be returning soon!

Myself and 2 others went to The Fox House after a long walk. I am coeliac and have to eat gluten free. They have a very confusing allergen menu, it lists which allergens are in which dish but it also states that you need to check how everything is cooked. I checked how food is cooked and they cook everything in the same fryers and on the same grills so there is no safety for anyone with dietary requirements. It would be better if it said on the menus and on the website that they can't cater for any dietary requirements safely. It would save everyone a lot of time. The service was very mixed. The first woman I spoke to at the bar gave awful service. She was really miserable and unhelpful. I asked for our very dirty Table to be cleaned and no one ever came. Looking around outside all the tables were dirty, all with glasses, cups and plates on, and customers having to push them to the side. A second person I spoke to behind the bar was more helpful and explained that nothing was safe to eat. He is the only reason I am giving the place 2 stars. It's only really suitable to go here for a quick drink. Which is such a shame.

Had a nice pub lunch of fish and chips which was good. Really crispy fried fish and chunky chips with tartare sauce and peas. The service was a little slow towards the end as we didn't want to miss our bus, we were concerned.

We attended today at lunchtime which proved to be a very disappointing visit. We were seen to our table that we’d booked almost immediately and left with menus. Our order was taken around 20/25 minutes later. My husband ordered well done steak but it arrived more rare so he informed a member of staff about it. It arrived identical to the initial steak so we decided to leave and my husband complained to the manager who was very apologetic and he gave my meal (chicken burger which was lovely) for free, including our drinks too which was a nice gesture but the whole experience was disappointing so we will not be returning anytime soon.

Called for lunch after a walk round Longshaw estate. This was a Thursday lunchtime it was not extremely busy but it took just short of 3 hours to get served and eat our meal. We did two courses for a fixed price, 2 of us had a starter and main and 2 had main and desert. It took over an hour to get the starters then another hour for the mains. Then to top it all my wife's chocolate brownie dessert was burnt! Not a great experience at all. Good job we weren't in a rush.

Popped in for a drink and maybe. A bite to eat after a hike. A lovely old quirky pub. They allow dogs and there are water bowls and treats set out for them.

Clean, great atmosphere and freshly made food! Staff is very kind and helpful, we will come back! Special thanks to VIcky and Team, who tried make everything perfect, from the diner reservation next to the fire place to the home alike atmosphere during breakfast!

Pretty dismal service, reservation and arrival at noon, start of taking orders after half an hour, slow, few staff, fairly good dishes but missing products (no more crème fraîche for a dessert, no olives for the aperitif), an impression of amateurism. For an Easter day when we know that attendance will be at its peak. We won't come back.

I visited here one evening for a meal with company. The service was fairly good, not long to wait for meals and such. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious for us all. The pub is in a sensational area with stunning views.

After a very long walk we arrived to the restaurant 20minutes before our booking and sat with our drinks in the beer garden in the sun overlooking the lovely views of the Peak District. Once we sat down we were served by the lovely Vicky and Cal. The service was brilliant given the limited number of staff on shift and the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend!!

What a place perfect to start a million different walks

Brilliant location after a walk in the beautiful peaks...try the route through Whirlow Brook Park..Staff opened main dining area inside. Lovely atmosphere. Work being done outside to extend indoor space 😊

Excellent food - service not too good.

Food was good. Slow service but worth the wait.

We didn’t stay at their room here only popped in for lunch. It’s in a very beautiful countryside. The food be honest is ok, I will say only three stars but the service is not bad.

I usually order burgers in these type of pubs thinking what can you do wrong in a burger. Their burger is sweet as soaked in jam, literally. I sent it back directly and they were not even interested why. What's next? Pepperoni ice cream? 🍦

I'm reviewing based on our experiences with the food. We were charged £85 for two adult meals and two children's meals, including desserts and one alcoholic drink. The food was far below standard of the bill. Far below. After our meal, I asked what in the menu was actually home made and was told that basically none of it was. The signature burger had the quality of reconstituted meat. The chips were uniform oven chips. The beef brisket that should have topped the burger would barely fill a teaspoon. The pork belly was... Fine... But obviously the 'crackling' was from a packet and not from the actual cooked pork. The sticky toffee pudding was bland with a skin of sauce on top. None of this ready-made-mass-produced-reheated garbage is right for the pub. The choice on tap was god awful too, just a range of weak lagers... And Guinness. Mitchell's and Butler, owners of Vintage Inns (owners of FH) also have Toby and Harvester under their umbrella. I have a suspicion that the food here comes from the same factory as those other brands where quality and craftsmanship take a back seat to uniformity and replicability. FH is a hiker's and biker's pub. We've spent hours in the Peak District. We want to be welcomed by a roaring fire and lashings of frothy ale. The food should come out glowing, radiant with love. What you get is small print on a plate. You get a graph of maximised profit. The kitchen serves the headline graphic from M&Bs homepage - its shareprice. It's £2.25 right now. I doubt that Vintage cares what a good British pub should be and wouldn't ever try to return FH to its former glory. A fully staffed, fully equipped kitchen of chefs... Shareprice doesn't need quality. Shareprice doesn't care for your memories of good pubs. Shareprice only needs to reduce operating costs.

Came here for a drink at lunch time. Ordered 2 drinks & a bowl of olives. Wasn't overly busy, but very short staffed, and all staff looked stressed, so gave benefit of the doubt and waited 45 minutes before saying anything about the olives not arriving. Went inside & told staff who apologised and said they would get them shortly. Waited a further 20 minutes & despite waitress passing our table several times to take other people's orders, they didn't bring ours so requested a refund. Wouldn't usually complain about something like this however not the first time I've visited here and this has happened. Been several times and always have a problem with excessive wait times 1.5hrs+ , wrong order or just like this time, no food turning up and having to get a refund. Not really a fault with the staff on that day, more a management failure to staff properly. ALWAYS understaffed! However will probably return to be disappointed yet again due to great location. Only thing going for it as prices are crazy and food (when it comes) just OK.

Staff is an absolute pleasure! They work so hard, with a smile and try to make customers happy! A big shout out to the team from tonight! Food was good and we will be back soon! It is a great place to enjoy the beautiful surrounding!

Very friendly staff and scrumptious food. Stopped in here for lunch after a walk in the vicinity and the main course was so good we couldn't help but order dessert. Mckenzie was our waitress who looked after us both very well. Going to return when next up there.

Lovely place. Gets busy with walkers so make sure you book

Good food and service. Great this pub is fully dog friendly, given location. Food pricey but decent. Pleasant service.

May I preface by saying this has been a pleasant stay and location but it appears management is trying to prevent that... We arrived on our first night to be informed that hot water was unavailable, which is pretty paramount considering we have a wedding to attend the next morning. Thankfully, the amazing Kal was on it and offered an alternative room at The Castle Inn, but before we could decide, the water was fixed post dinner so we were able to resume our stay and the dinner bill was kindly waived - thank you again Kal! The following morning we were perplexed as to the delays in the kitchen for breakfast? Unfortunately, it resulted in us being a little late to the church service, so more Deliver-boo as opposed to Deliveroo then I suppose. This delay in breakfast service sadly continued throughout the day. Fortunately, we were able to use it as an ice breaker when conversing with other guests. On our last day whilst contemplating our review of Fox Inn our mind was made up when we were hounded by a barking German Shepherd on the way back to our room. The owner whom is staff was surprisingly casual despite the constant bounding and barking at us as opposed to apologising for the sudden scare! Thank you for the send off, much appreciated! Silly us for not being familiar with your dogs. Perhaps we should've went straight to The Castle Inn?

Really great food, let down by extremely poor service. Service was painfully slow throughout. We’d been there for 1 hour and 45 minutes before I had to flag down a server just to order dessert to go. About 10 minutes later, we were asked to move to the reception area as they needed the table. It’s frustrating, as we’d have happily been in and out much quicker if service had been more efficient. Starters alone took around 40 minutes to arrive. Such a shame, because the food and venue were genuinely excellent.

We love going to The Fox house and amazing walks in that area.

Venue is lovely!. Front of house staff are welcoming and friendly... But for the prices the food or table service just is not too par. Rice was warmed. £25 bougongion was poor. Waited an hour after finishing before seeing another waiter! It's been a long time since We've been to somewhere we positively wouldn't return.

Such attentive staff. Spent a lovely afternoon chilling and grazing.

Ideal for a pint after a walk though the heather

The pub is in a great location for incorporating into a walk in the peaks. The food was really nice.

Went for Sunday lunch with friends. Arrived a little early but we were shown to our table straight away. The waitress attended and took our order and our starters arrived shortly after. We all had the garlic mushrooms, but when they arrived they weren’t very hot, however, Vicky quickly sorted the problem and fresh mushrooms were brought out promptly piping hot with another apology. The rest of our Sunday lunch went without any issues and was absolutely gorgeous. We will definitely be returning Thankyou to Vicky and the team!

Great food and location, served by the lovely young gentleman with silver hair

Excellent Sunday roast! The turkey roast was delicious, with lovely veggies & Yorkshire! The “mini” brownie was excellent, and very sizeable for a small portion! Beautiful location, will definitely be back.

Visited as a larger group for Sunday lunch, lovely meal and friendly service. It’s also based in a fantastic location, which allowed us to have a brilliant walk after and burn off the calories of the indulgent sticky toffee pudding.

Went to The Fox for dinner after a big walk with our dog. Lucky we booked as it was very busy. Food was lovely and staff were nice and friendly and it was great that the pub was dog friendly. I understand that it was a busy Saturday but the service was just very slow, was sat for 15mins before even taking our drink ordered.

Great little Country pub. Food was delicious and service by Josh was second to none. Definitely recommend.

Popped in for lunch. Friendly service and a good range of food available. Beer on tap was Beavertown Neck Oil.

We went to The Fox House for a lunch to celebrate my mum’s 70th birthday. Admittedly, it was busy with the restaurant appearing to be at its capacity when we arrived at 13:00 for our booking. We decided to place our starters, mains and drinks order at the same time as it took around 40 minutes for the waitress to take our order. My wife ordered a rose wine but received a white wine. We decided to not pass comment based on how long it took to receive our drinks order and my wife enjoyed the wine irrespective. The food was very, very good, presented nicely, on lovely crockery. There was a nice sized portion for all dishes ordered. We placed our dessert order following our main course. All but one dessert was served. It took a further 30 minutes and two requests for the Sticky Toffee Pudding to arrive, by which time everyone had eaten and was ready to leave. The restaurant manager kindly reduced the bill by £30 and did not charge us for the late dessert. They had respectfully admitted their shortfall which I find honourable. In summary: Lovely meal which took too long. I’ll definitely return as it is a great pub and restaurant. Unfortunately it just wasn’t as streamlined as I’d have expected. If you’re in no rush, then you’ll enjoy yourself thoroughly.

We have just been for food and it was delicious. We were served by Will and he was brilliant, so friendly and kind. Thank you!

Too busy sort out your car park and take on extra staff on busy days and may consider coming back .

The setting of this venue is of course gorgeous and the building itself was very clean and cosy. What really stood out was the friendliness of the staff and the service. 5 stars throughout

Had the loveliest of stays here at the Fox House. Beautifully located next to the national trust parks for stunning sunset walks. Rooms were neat, pretty and clean. Served at dinner by the charming Will who was so friendly, helpful and efficient! Would definitely return anytime.

Absolutely amazing pub with great food and quick service. Ordered the signature burger and would definitely reccomend! Special thanks to Cal our server, we really enjoyed our visit.

I didn't stay in the hotel, we went for lunch with two dogs on Sunday. Food was brilliant. It was very busy, would have benefitted to having more staff on. Josh was polite and welcoming, can't fault him.

Just enjoyed a hearty breakfast before a walk in the glorious countryside that is all around the Fox House. I was warmly greeted by Josh who had got the real fire ablaze in the hearth providing a cosy atmosphere and warmth

Stopped off this morning for a break during our weekly walk and a coffee. We were impressed by the friendliness of the place and Josh was very polite and professional and made us feel very welcome. He spent time chatting with us about Vintage Inns and we will definitely be returning to the Fox and also try the Castle Inn at Castleton. An excellent ambassador for the Vintage Inns brand.

Popped in to see if there was any tables available. Waited at the sign "wait to be seated" Person (Think manager) behind the bar made eye contact but ignored us for a while. Sure he's proberbly busy. Though he didn't seem welcoming. Then when someone finally came we asked if theres a table available and the manager / person who was there all along just shook his head. This isn't an issue but why not politely just say we are full up etc rather than leaving you standing there. Overall unwelcoming and won't be returning.

We were so excited for our dinner at The Fox House, and it absolutely lived up to our expectations! We loved the atmosphere, the service, and, of course, the food. We ordered the steak, which was cooked to perfection according to each person’s preference. The meat was impeccable—tender, flavorful, and freshly prepared. The Signature burger was also very juicy. The mac and cheese and Monterey Jack cheese sauce were the highlights—absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely come back!

We booked a table for 5 adults and a child and were served by Vicky. The Sunday menu was really delicious, freshly cooked, lovely fresh veg and generous portions. Service was friendly and attentive.

Great location and great food, if you have plenty of time to eat it!

A saving grace of a pit stop during our hike. The fireplace was lovely and the service was very quick. Staff were so friendly as well! Highly recommend!

Visited this evening for some dinner with my partner after a walk. Staff were all friendly from the moment we arrived, we were served by a very poilte young man named Will. The food was lovely, and also the pudding. Will definitely be stopping in again.

Regularly book Sunday lunch here after a good walk always great food can get busy so best to book to avoid disappointment special mention to Vicky always smiling and attentive with service nothing is too much trouble (extra gravy) yum. Have booked Feb 14th( so quiet table please Vicky) 20.00.

Six old friends met up for a lovely long leisurely lunch today. Been visiting this place for well over fifty years, an amazing place in a lovely location. Great food and drink all delivered to the table by our lovely waitress Jesse who was a delight to meet. Till the next time.

I stayed here for three nights with my partner, overall the stay in the hotel room was nice it was clean the bed was comfy except the pillows a bit hard for our liking and we had neck pain every morning, unfortunately the service and food was just not great. The service overall was disappointing and throughout the stay we felt it got worse and put a bit of a damper on our holiday, the food service was very slow throughout, the only time we had decent service was at the start of our stay as we got our food quite quick but it was because we were the only people there for breakfast, the full English was okay but you couldn’t even get a knife through the croissants they were rock hard, in the evening the service was fast when we sat near the bar and just ordered the food and drink by going up to the bar but when sat in the restaurant the service was very slow one night we sat for almost an hour waiting to have our empty plates taken and dessert order taken it then took over half an hour for dessert which was just a brownie and ice cream the next night was a bit quicker but when we arrived the server at the front desk appeared annoyed there was little greeting and when ever she was serving us it just wasn’t very polite. we asked for dessert menus we seemed to be forgotten the person we asked walk past us twice, after we still hadn’t had any menus in the end we decided to skip dessert and just go back to the room, when we asked for the bill for the dinner, I explained I had a voucher without asking the server took my phone from my hand and walked off with it to scan the code she didn’t ask or say she would need to scan the phone at the till. The last morning we had a different server who was lovely and very attentive breakfast was quicker with service but again we were the only people. It was shame it was our last morning that we felt we finally had good service at breakfast. I think I was stay here again I would pay to have food included I the stay would eat else where

Booked a table for 9 of us for lunch on Saturday, and it couldn’t have gone better. Vicki took my booking and helped me update it seamlessly, even accommodating very particular dietary requirements with ease. Welcoming to muddy boots and dogs as-well! Fantastic place, staff and food and the most amazing smells of wood fires.

Went for a Sunday Roast. Food was excellent, compliments to the chef. Front of house staff unfriendly, and proper grumpy which let it down.. kind of ruined the overall experience so only 3 out of 5.

Booked a table in advance were given a secluded table with broken heating in 3 degree weather, the fire door was constantly left open right next to table. Despite asking for a resolution or just to be somewhere warmer, no solution or meaningful apology was granted. The food was nice and we enjoyed all the dishes, however even accepting the busy nature of the venue, the service was very poor and we had to chase waiters around to be served…from sitting down, it took nearly three hours to receive mains and desserts. One of our friends was labelled a problem by management despite only asking for a proper answer to these glaring service issues which is frankly unacceptable in a dining environment.

Have come here for years, used to be the perfect place for a post climb pint. But in the last few years, the quality of pretty much everything has massively dropped. Food coming out cold, drinks over priced, managers blatantly not caring. This isn’t due to the bar staff or the chefs, this is clearly shoddy management making quick money grabs rather than maintaining quality control. We’d left it the first few times the poor service started happening, thinking it was just a once off. It is not. It is consistently poor from all aspects. Think it’s time, unfortunately to find a new pub. I will no longer be recommending, I will now in fact recommend not going. This pub has been ruined by bad management. Good luck to the rest of the staff on this sinking ship.

We came today for Sunday lunch. It was one of the best roasts I've had in a really long time and i'm very picky when it comes to Sunday lunches! The staff were all really friendly and helpful even though the pub was packed and they were very busy. I wouldnt hesitate to rerturn. Highly recommend!

Disappointed would be an understatement! Having booked in advance for a table of 8, we arrived promptly to be seated a cold annexe of the building. There was nothing done to make our experience more pleasurable apart from the duty manager saying "we can cancel your food if you don't want to sit here". Totally unacceptable that they would rather turn away 8 customers than try and find a solution. When we asked if there was any alternative heating solution the answer was a straight no. Throughout the meal, she inconsiderately kept leaving the back door open causing the temperature to drop even further. Having sat down for 15 mins, no drinks order was taken and we were forgotten about in this cold, dingy part of the pub. Only when I managed to get the attention of the manager, she came to take our order. Her demeanour was off from the beginning, bad energy and a face to match. She took our drinks order, whilst telling one member of the party to speak up. The drinks arrived after a long period, whilst forgetting a simple glass of water. The food arrived at different times for the party, which I guess is understandable as it was a busy Saturday lunchtime. Apart from not having certain items on the menu, when I made enquiries she seemed annoyed to be asked, which was later confirmed in a conversation after the meal. I believe this woman needs some serious customer service training if she is going to be working the public and should understand that a customer is able to ask questions and shouldn't feel put out by doing so. The meal was mediocre at best, nothing that reflects the prices that they charge. Following our meal we ordered desserts and coffee together. They too came out separately, and at this point we were ready to leave. I went to speak to the duty manager to tell her to cancel the desserts, where she decided it was a good idea to rudely insult me. I quote " I could tell from when you walked in, that you were going to be a problem". Not referring to any member of the party but me, she mentioned that I asked too many questions, I explained to her I'm entitled to ask questions, I'm not being funny but if she can't answer basic questions to a customer without feeling aggrieved then she should not managing anything. I felt her comment was rude and inappropriate, I felt that she targeted me based on my skin colour and that she be spoken to about her actions as this is totally unacceptable. She then provided me with £30 off the meal as a way of shutting me up. At this point we were all fed up and ready to leave. Please avoid this place if you value your self respect and your hard earned money. We will not be returning.

I took shelter here on a stormy walk through Padley, and the staff were incredibly accommodating on a busy night and served us great meals and drinks. Especially our server Jess, and the manager that managed to squeeze us in.

Had a lovely evening at the Fox house. Our waiting staff were Cal and Jess, great friendly service will definitely be back. Excellent food and drink.
