The Fox House in Sheffield

Visited few years ago and was amazing but recent experience was very disappointing. The staff lacked professionalism and friendliness, giving the impression they weren't happy to be there. There was no clear sign on where to wait to be served ,and the staff did not approach us, so I had to ask where we should go. One staff member rudely told me off, saying it was a check-in area for the hotel without trying to ask if I need any help. The food presentation was decent, but the Sunday roast was bland and very cold, with undercooked potatoes and cold vegetables. We waited far too long to be served and then waited 27 minutes for the food to arrive. I hope management sees this review and takes steps to improve the customer service experience and food quality. I would not recommend this place to others until there are visible improvements.

We had a wonderful meal here for 10 of us. All of the staff but particularly Evie M, our waitress were very friendly, warm and helpful. Food was delicious and good value for money. Will definitely be back when we visit family again.

Called in after a walk in the Peaks and was met by a warm and friendly welcome by the assistant manager Vicky. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was beautiful.

Wow all i can say is i was blow away by the most amazing food ive ever had. Tasted so perfect & portion size was alot there. Manager brandon cudnt fault him, hands on in all areas & happy to help with requests even cocktails to make up that wasnt even on the menu, which hes very good at making also. Restaurant is so relaxed, are waiter Dan that had only been there for 3wks did a fantastic job looking after him he deserves employee of the week :-) , bar man Cal was very helpful. Chef Andy all i can say was wow your food was the best & presentation was fabulous. Enjoyable experience after traveling 58 miles was well worth it. Many thanks Tonya & James 10********** rating 👍

Awful. This used to be a good pub. Arrived after booking a table, stood at the bar for 5 minutes, staff were busy chatting amongst themselves, completely ignored us. Finally got there attention and was shown to a table they said someone would come and take out order. 20 minutes later someone came and took our order. We ordered two drinks and meals. The drinks took a further 10 minutes to arrive and by this point we were fed up and considering walking out. Asked the waitress about our drinks and we finally got them. Another 20 minutes later good arrived, it was okay at best and trying to be something that it isn't. Asked for the bill, a surly looking woman who I assume was the manager said she'd bring over the bill, yet another 5 minutes later she was wandering around and no sign of the bill and again by this point we just wanted to leave. All I can say for the positive is a couple of the younger waiter and waitress seemed to want to be doing a good job, but it felt like no one was actually running the place and complete chaos even though it wasnt busy! Looking at similar reviews unless something changes this place will keep going downhill. Very disappointed and would jot recommend to anyone.

A group of us booked a meal at Fox House for Sunday lunch. The booking wasn't d badly smooth sailing with the table provided not fitting the number of people booked on but we sorted that ourselves. The main issue with our visit was the service, . .absolutely appalling. It was Sunday, it was busy but this isn't unusual for this restaurant and there were lots of staff. Our table ordered Sunday lunch, which the menu boasted came with all the gravy you could want. We also ordered some sides of herb crusted cauliflower cheese. After a long wait for our food'gt arrived, with minimal gravy and without the cauliflower cheese. We asked for more gravy (which the menu encourages you to do) and it never arrived. The cauliflower also never arrived.we'd all pretty much finished, so i went to find a server and they said they'd run out of cauliflower cheese and were just making it, and the gravy was on its way. The cauliflower cheese did eventually come but it had obviously been rushed, it wasn't cooked, the cheese sauce was floury and there was no herb crust. For nearly 5 quid a pop this wasn't acceptable, and we complained and they did take it off the bill. However why not just tell us they'd run out rather than offering a poor version of the dish? The unlimited gravy only materialised in small jugs as we were finishing our dry roast dinners. . . Again not great! The time between being offered dessert menu and taking our orders was along time and to bringing out the deserts was nearly 25 minutes. Overall a really poor experience. The meat itself and roast was good, but the lack of gravy,sides and poor, slow service just put a negative spin on everything. We weren't even offered an apology. Unlikely to returning in a hurry

The waitress and the desserts were good. 3 of the 4 meals ordered were much below standard and that is being generous. The rating would be below one star. The Penang curry was 2 long pieces of tough hard to chew pieces of chicken sitting on the small amount of veg curry. The chicken in breadcrumbs tasted of old oil only and was fried far too long and the chips were dry and shrivelled and almost cold. Very embarrassing and extremely disappointing. We will not be booking a meal there again.

Having ordered and paid for our meals at the bar , we waited for an hour before we went back to ask where our meals were...? They arrived straight away but were sent back as they were both cold...! When the second meals arrived we then realised we had no cutlery.. food was warm but bland and over priced. So all in all a very disappointing experience

Family weekend away, 3 family rooms and a double, 14 in our party in total. Great location for a weekend of leisurely walks. I agree with previous reviews, the beds are really hard and the sofa beds are very springy (squeaky whenever our boys moved)so two nights of discomfort, but we were prepared for that. Friday night dinner took an age to arrive, which we were compensated for on the Saturday, however we pre-ordered Saturday night's dinner and it still took a long time to arrive and as with the previous night it was the children's food that came out last. We have a food allergy in our group and when we asked the waiter if it was the vegan option (which is the safest option for his allergies) he just sighed, shrugged and said "no idea" and when asked about a side order of veg he returned with it and launched it across the table. (I'll be fair the pub was busy and we were a large party, he may have been having a bad shift, but unfortunately this let the rest of the waiting staff down). Breakfast on the other hand was dealt with by one chap alone and he was cheery, organised and pleasant to everyone. Shame about the evening meals (this was dealt with whilst we were there) otherwise good food, clean rooms and on the whole friendly staff.

A beautiful spot and atmospheric pub. It was a Bank holiday and we hadn't booked and just managed to find a table outside. The sharing platters took an hour! We weren't warned about the delay. The food was lovely but there wasn't a lot for £20. The mains took another 40 mins and we're not that warm. Food good and young waitress did apologise for the delay. No refund given.

Although I have previously had good service and food here, I was very disappointed with my latest visit. We were booked in for 1.45pm, lunch, and arrived at 1.45pm. Upon arrival, the staff were too busy to talk to us or even greet us, so we stood and waited, feeling a little invisible. Just, "hello, I'll be with you in one minute," would have been enough. We were eventually greeted and shown to our seats after a five minute wait and then waited again, this time for 15 minutes before our server asked us if we were ready to order drinks. We ordered our drinks and food around 2.05pm and our drinks arrived ten minutes later but our starters arrived 25 minutes later at 2.30pm. Another 30 minute wait followed and our main course arrived at 15.02pm, we waited another 30 minutes after our mains for the dessert menus to be brought over, 15.30pm, and after another 15 minutes, asked for our dessert order to be taken, 15.43pm. Half an hour later, our desserts arrived and as we had been there two and three quarters of an hour already, we decided to ask for the bill rather than wait at 16.30pm. Although we had responded with, "yes," when asked if we would be paying by card and needed the machine when the server brought the bill, nothing more happened for 15 minutes. We decided to go to the bar to pay, where we could see our server busy serving drinks to customers at the bar! Another server asked if everything had been alright, and when we responded with, "not really," we did not expect to come for lunch and it be dinnertime before we left, she laughed! The food. The starters were fine, nothing spectacular but nothing to complain about either - although I was a little confused that my pate was sat on top of a spoonful of relish rather than the relish being served in a pot on the side. The main course was also fine, the pie of the day was a good choice and I would recommend. However, the desserts did not live up to expectations. The chocolate bomb shell was not white chocolate, more a blonde chocolate colour, but was tasteless - we all tried it. The creme brulee could not have been served in a shallower dish! All in all, the food was satisfactory, but the service was shocking! It was my birthday celebration and it took 3 hours to serve us lunch. We honestly felt invisible from the start and almost an 'inconvenience' to be requiring attention. Although we did not receive one smile with the service and service was painfully slow, one of the servers seemed to have plenty of time to 'flirt' and chat with two girls on a table nearby rather than be attentive to all customers. Looking around the room, and we had plenty of time to do that, it was evident that they were not 'busy' as half the tables remained empty throughout our three hour stay.

We really enjoyed our roast dinners & appreciated the offer of being moved to a quieter table as a large party was coming in. Overall the service was really friendly, & we would particularly like to mention Vicky who went out of her way to make sure we had a good visit.

Disappointed- not sure what has changed? Service was extremely slow (it wasn’t that busy). Nearly an hour to get starters. We gave up after the main course even though we would have liked to stay for dessert. Serving staff holding a hot plate with a tea towel passed it to one of us to set it down with bare hands (and it was very hot). Food was bland and not the high standard it has been previously. Really difficult to get the meat off the skewer. Please look at what has made things go downhill.

The fish and chips were awful,fish was over battered chips were just warm and tasteless.My granddaughter didn't eat her fish as not good. Waiter was not a great guy. NEVER WILL WE COME BACK.

Friendly service, but had to remind them to come and take our order, so overall it was a bit slow. Food was reasonable, a good selection and was reasonable value for money compared to other options locally. I reserved because the Vintage Inns website offered a £10 time-limited discount on the next visit but only in the small print (you had to click to read) did it say you had to use the code at least six hours after activating it. While not a massive point it was a disappointing end to the visit. M&B should consider removing that time limit.

Popped into The Fox House after a very wet and windy walk. We were made to feel very welcome by Vicky who made us THE best coffee, not to mention the fab flapjack. We soon dried out in front of the open fire. Will definitely return x

Visited with my two dogs after a walk and was welcomed with a smile. Was served by a lady called Michelle who said she had only been working there a couple of weeks but you could not tell! Served me quickly and made friendly conversation - she even provided treats for my dogs. I would definitely recommend for a cold beer after a countryside walk!

I telephoned the Fox House at 7.30pm on a Sunday evening as the hotel that we were staying in had no food! They were fabulous. We arrived within five minutes and ordered 4 Sunday roasts drinks and followed it by a pudding. Service and food were great. Michelle was lovely. Very accommodating and helpful. 10/10 to the team and 11/10 Michelle. Thank you for making our evening, Michelle. Never change. 🙂

Great place for early family Christmas Meal.Food was excellent.Venue very child friendly with excellent varied children’s menu too.Staff very attentive and helpful, especially Vicky.No complaints !

Great location, Food was delicious . Staff very friendly Adrian was very attentive . Celebrating a birthday meal.

Went out on a damp evening for a meal.. thought we might try the festive menu , but two courses each just felt like too much when we actually looked at the menu .. However, we both enjoyed our main course choices, and we were amiably served by Ryan , and had a couple of drinks and soaked up the easy going atmosphere. We've visited here many times before, and always enjoy the friendly experinece. Thanks to everyone{incl the capable chef], for a nice evening out , and especially to Ryan , who was attentive and fun.

I took my elderly parents for lunch, neither of them have big appetites anymore, they both wanted fish & chips but the portions were much too big so they were allowed to share one between them which we thought was marvellous! All the food was wonderful, I had mushrooms in a garlic sauce & the staff couldn't have done anymore to ensure that we all enjoyed ourselves. We shall certainly be visiting again, thank you!

One of the best pubs in Sheffield. Stopped by after a hike and was welcomed to a beautiful festive interior, warm fire roaring, with great ambience. Drinks are reasonable for the quality you get, and I will return to try their menu. Staff were fab and I wanted to stay longer!

Vicky was very friendly and attentive and made us feel very welcome. The food was great. We will definitely be visiting again!

Kebabs and mini puds with coffee... just right. Friendly helpful staff. Shame the fire wasn't lit in our room though cos there was a cold draught every time someone came in from the rooms outside!

Had a great meal tonight at the Fox House. The Duo of Lamb was splendid. The place has been done up since we last came and it’s lovely, a real country real. We were served by Adrian who was friendly and attentive. Well done all.

Pre-booked dinner for 2 with a dog. Nice atmosphere and environment. Staff friendly. Food is over priced as nothing overly special. Ordered a mini pudding and hot drink and a coffee. Received pudding and coffee and in the end had to cancel the other hot drink as over 20 min wait. Luckily had a voucher for 50% off mains.

Fantastic meal and really attentive service staff (our server was Ryan who was lovely). It was super busy so service was a little slow but we didn’t mind.

Amazing staff, everyone could not have done more for us. We appreciated the lovely Gracie who served and welcomed us to our table. We will be back again. The food was amazing and just a brilliant atmosphere.

Excellent meal and service from Ryan. Fabulous surroundings, roaring fire and great beer and wine too.

My partner and I ordered a sirloin beef roast dinner and this arrived at our table within 5 minutes - a bit too quick for our liking. The food on the plate was not a fair representation of the decription on the menu. The roast...

Amazing place, great to see Owen running the place. The staff and food is to such a high standard. Can’t wait to come back

Great food ,excellent service and ambient surroundings. The menu is varied and portions are substantial but reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and efficient. We were impressed with the decor with particular attention to detail. For example, every table had a lit candle and...

Plenty of service staff who were attentive and friendly. Good, hearty meals. Large portion sizes and good choice of meals - even for vegetarians. Very dog friendly with water bowls and treats available. Just what was needed after a walk.

Called in for lunch after visiting Chatsworth. We hadn’t booked and it was busy, but we were seated straight away. I ordered a Chardonnay which was a bit bitter so I don’t think it was of great quality. Whilst perusing the menu, the people at...

After a short walk around padley and burbage we dropped in for a crafty pint and food! The service was fab, we would definitely recommend!

Great food, good selection of taps, super friendly staff. Much needed after a long walk :) Would recommend

Vicky was amazing, Food was delicious and will be coming back when we travel back up North, Reasonably priced a d Atmosphere is very welcoming.

Great food, great beer, what more can you ask for? We’re lucky enough to live locally but if you’re passing or walking in the area, it’s with a visit ❤️

We cane here after a short walk in the area for a luch and it was great. The food was great as always, service was quick but not too into face, so overall great experience. Bit costly, but worth it.

Really delicious! Lovely food and brilliant service by Vicky. Really good with dogs, they had a great time! Will be back soon!!!!

Delicious meals, goodly sized portions, friendly and helpful staff. Good choice of menu. Pleasant surroundings. Good value.

I had lunch as part of a group of 9 U3A walkers, and we all went for the Lucnh menu, advertised as £18.95 for two courses, which we all selected from. The food was good, but when we went to pay, we were told that...

Brilliant food served in excellent time and wonderful service from our waitresses Juniper and Vicky!

Sunday lunch, great looking menu, high expectations at £21.50. The reality was a trio of meat all perfectly cooked but rather tepid at best with a plate of overcooked vegetables. The service was very poor though. Basics like serving drinks but placed on table for...

This is a really lovely pub that I used to enjoy coming to. Until, that is, they decided to hike the prices and drop the portion size. Now the meals are extremely expensive for pretty meagre portions. We had a burger for £17.95 that had...

Great food, location and service. Particularly want to thank our waitress Vicky who set us all up outside and then found us a quiet table inside when it started raining. She was really friendly and helpful.

Fabulous lunchtime meal with family over from Australia. Service was excellent, food was absolutely gorgeous, especially the belly pork. Atmosphere was warm and friendly. Shout outs to Emily, the Manager, Vicki and Luke who looked after our table wonderfully.

This place is really nice but I think you really need to book on busy days. This weekend the staff seemed quite overwhelmed. The number of people coming and going seems to fluctuate a lot. So obviously if you have a 20 people walking in...

I stopped by here with a group after going on a hike. It took me 15 minutes to get served. This is because there was only one person working the bar. The person in question was lovely, and I can't fault her for her efforts...

Stopped in for Sunday dinner on one of the hottest and busiest weekends of the summer season. It was packed, the staff were hot and run ragged, items run out on the menu and the bar was organised chaos, to put it mildly. The service...

The Fox House is a fairly standard Vintage Inn, unpretentious but with good food and service, the kind of place you’d feel just as at ease going for a meal, or just popping in for a drink. A beautiful old building, on a junction where...

Great customer service from John, Molly and Juniper, especially for the cutlery. I’ll be back again soon with the family. Thanks.

A cracking meal had here with friends, the food is exceptional while still being reasonably priced with mains, puddings and drinks for coming in at £115 which I thought was very good. Service and the staff were great. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

Superb value. Excellent service. Lovely environment. Really great meal and my whole family loved it. Looking forward to our next visit. 10/10.

Had a lovely warm welcome from both Emily & Vicky who were both very attentive & made sure everything was ok. Emily made us the most tastiest & loveliest coffees we have had in a long time. There is a really good selection for breakfast...

Love this pub, lovely food, dog friendly and staff are so friendly, always a warm welcome and very knowledgeable about the menu.

After a walk around Longshaw called at Fox house for lunch and was not disappointed. Good food, lovely staff, will be back next week.

The location is beautiful, service is fantastic and food is lovely. Can’t wait to come back with my family

We stopped off for lunch between a couple of hikes and had a fantastic meal. Everything was fresh and piping hot with great care put into the meals! I had the brisket sandwich and the beef dripping sauce was delightful!

Excellent lunch at fox house, we had the lamb skewer and prawn skewer, both were very good. Service was prompt too.

Really enjoyed this trip out to the Fox House. Food was excellent and staff friendly and attentive, especially Vicky who looked after us very well indeed. Will definitely recommend and return.

Had a party of 18 booked. Totally understandable we had to pre order before for the size of the party but starters arrived half an hour after our booking time. Surely it shouldn’t be that long after knowing what we wanted. Maybe inform people of...

Disappointed. My meal wasn’t available so had to choose. Ordered a pizza with « pulled chicken » and « roasted mushrooms ». £2 for thé Chicken £1.50 for the mushroom. The chicken was chunks of chicken not pulled and not much maybe 1/8 of a chicken portion and I’d...

Great food and friendly service. Sat in the cosy restaurant area catching up with a friend all afternoon. Couldn’t have asked for a better setting.

We had the best afternoon with great service from Vicky. It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon in the sun with great food and amazing views.

Called in for a birthday lunch since we had visited peak District for the day. Absolutely amazing food, great service and clean, appealing surroundings. They had an extensive menu and I would love to go back and try their evening menu some time.

Clean and stylish Good menu and choice Service was very good Food was excellent very tasty A little over priced but not bad in todays market Definitely go back

Petit dejeuner pris au coin du feu, vraiment délicieux, typiquement anglais, avec un service très agréable.

Visited with a party of friends and had the roast beef Sunday lunch after a short walk to build up an appetite. All very nice. Service was prompt and pretty friendly. Expensive for what was served although they have to make a profit, naturally.

We visited as a group of 2 families having a post-hike meal. We live very near, but hadn’t visited for a long time due to mixed reviews from other people. We needn’t have worried. The food was great and we were well looked after by...

The rooms are dilapidated with dirty and stained carpets, holes in bedding and hanging clothes space unsafe and dangerous. Over all the standard is poor
