The best restaurant to eat at!!! The Fox had the best menu out of all the places we went to and we actually visited twice! I would recommend the dirty fries/Asian cauliflower and chicken wing starters-Pan fried chicken supreme and the Fox Inn burger! The service was excellent and the food amazing!!

Corfe Castle anytime of day is worth visiting, and also the Fox Inn, a bit more restaurant than pub?, also with a garden at rear.

What a lovely find whilst visiting Corfe Castle! Friendly and inviting. Good food and drinks. The steak and ale pie with a true shortcrust pastry topping was amazing!

This is a relatively expensive place to eat and I am not sure the prices reflect the quality of food or service. The olives with our starter were obviously from a jar and smothered in vinegar. My £30 bland tasting steak was served with few accompaniments - not sure what the point of water cress is? The server didn't ask me how I wanted my steak cooked, no-one asked us during our meal if all was ok, nor when we paid if everything had been satistactory. Drinks service during our meal was fine. We won't be rushing back.

First impressions count. The table was sticky, the menu was a crumpled up piece of A 4 paper and the chairs were marked. Not a great start. The menu was ok with a fair variety but the food was disappointing, the burger was cooked to within an inch of its life and my parter had the steak frites which was a bit tasteless and lacked flavour. My pudding was decent but the overall dining experience was quite poor and vastly over priced. It was such a shame as the pub is situated in the most beautiful village with a great garden and we expected more, much more.

A lovely little pub with really friendly staff. The garden out the back is really nice with plenty of tables to choose from. The menu is quite limited. I had steak and ale pie and the pastry was probably the worst pastry I’ve ever had. I’m not sure if it was old, over rolled or what but it was not pleasant at all. 2 pies and chips for £34 no peas, garnish or anything was quite a disappointment.

During our walk, we wanted to stop for a rest and a coffee. This atypic restaurant is very nice, full-length, it proposes multiples patios. The service is very friendly with always smiles. We love this kind of place. In summary, I recommend this nice restaurant.

We were camping in Corfe last weekend and as soon as we arrived the sun came out! So while we were waiting for friends to arrive we walked into the village and discovered this fantastic little pub. Tiny inside but they have a fantastic long beer garden out the back (you'd never know!). Enjoyed a pint sat in the beer garden on a Friday afternoon. Once our friends arrived on the campsite we told them all about the Fox Inn and we all agreed to have lunch there on the Sunday. Not a massive choice on Sundays but enough for us. They cook burgers on the BBQ at the end of the garden and they are massive and delicious. The chips are slightly over priced @ £4 for a small portion but good! 3 of us had a burger with chips and the other one had the roast beef which looked fantastic. Have already recommended to camping friends, who live fairly locally but didn't know about the Fox Inn. All young staff, really efficient and could not have been friendlier. Lovely choice of real ales and ciders too. We will definitely be back when next in Corfe.

Stopped in for a coffee/pint after getting off the bus late morning. Lovely, quaint place with a very friendly landlord. We so enjoyed our first visit we returned for another drink before getting the bus back to Swanage! Fabulous lemon drizzle cake and wonderful freshly made chips. Other diners were thoroughly enjoying their meals including fish n chips, all food piping hot. If you’re in Corfe it’s well worth ignoring the big pubs at the beginning and following the road round past the model village to The Fox if you want great drinks, great food and a great atmosphere. Brendon the landlord/owner is a top bloke running a little gem of a place and if we’re in Corfe again, there’s no question of where we’ll be heading for refreshments! Thanks for your hospitality Brendon.

Very nice Sunday roasts and a lovely view of the castle from the garden eating area. The home-made Yorkshire pudding was excellent (only with roast beef) but the roast potatoes would have been better had they been cut up smaller. Overall, though, very enjoyable with great, friendly service.

A very pleasant local pub with very friendly and engaging staff. Whilst a limited menu when we dined there were enough choices to ensure you had sufficient options. The food was very fresh, well presented and did not disappoint the taste buds. A place that must be booked in the height of the season. The Inn also provide some gluten free options.

Looking for a pint and a sandwich after visiting the castle, we first tried The Greyhound. “Please wait to be seated”, not what I want to see in a pub. While waiting we saw the prices on the menu and went straight out. The Bankes Arms across the road seemed more promising, but said it was too late for a sandwich. To be fair it was about 1445. So on to The Fox. Gabriel was extremely welcoming and helpful, went above and beyond to give us two sandwiches between the four of us, and four cracking pints of beer. Brendan produced the superb sandwiches and our only complaint was that we couldn’t pick up the entire pub and take it back to our own village.

Tiny frontage belies the long depth of this pub! Side alley great for taking bikes right into garden, no need to leave out front. Good food and dog friendly. Long beer garden. No car park - as per all pubs in Corfe, but 1hr free stay on road outside (traffic wardens are hot in Corfe according to staff at several pubs) and car park in West St a few minutes walk (£2.20/3hrs, £1.10/2hrs). In photo, the red in centre is the big red table umbrellas in the pub, viewed from the castle.

We were looking forward to our Sunday lunch at the Fox Inn having booked ahead. As it was a gorgeous sunny day we elected to eat in the garden. There is plenty of seating in the garden providing shade for those who wanted it and sun for others. We ordered the Sunday beef roast but they had run out of cauliflower cheese which we wanted as an extra. The roast came and was quite sizeable. Two large thick slices of beef along with a giant Yorkshire pudding. Unfortunately the vegetable selection was disappointing. The leeks and cabbage were boiled/ steamed but I felt the leeks were undercooked. The roasted potatoes and parsnip were not well roasted at all soft and not crispy. A very small mistake but affected my enjoyment of the meal as the crispy well roasted potatoes and caramelised parsnips provide an important contrast of both texture and taste. I’m surprised the chef did not think it was necessary to cook both parsnips and potatoes for longer. The Yorkshire pudding was well cooked so I assume there is someone who works in the kitchen that can do the same for the roast potatoes and parsnips.

Couldn’t fault this place. Absolutely incredible food, beautifully presented and tastes just as good as it looks. Great ale also. The staff were polite and friendly and got the balance between being attentive but leaving you in peace just right. My husband has been newly Diagnosed coeliac and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and knowledgeable about the importance of ensuring no contamination of gluten. Not the cheapest meal But worth every penny and when you compare it to the touristy pub in the main village centre the difference in atmosphere and quality is huge. Retuning asap!

We recently had a lunchtime meal and drinks and were very impressed by the pub. Very welcoming, nice setting, great food, varied selection of beers and great staff.

High praise for the dinner we had at The Fox, Corfe Castle. We both had the special Chicken Supreme followed by baked plums. And were not disappointed. It was refreshing to have a meal that wasn't smothered in chips.

Visited on a Saturday evening having booked a table. About 8 or so tables all of which were occupied. On a postive note the pub is quaint and the young man and young woman who served us where both very pleasant. I ordered a bavette...

Just off the main square but well worth looking for. Dates back to the reign of Elizabeth I and has some delightful stories. Food is absolutely terrific, beer and wine selection excellent and the staff lovely. Cannot rate highly enough. Will definitely be going back...

I had the most delicious Fish Stew last night. It had so much in it and would have it again. The staff were superb. Thank you.

We were staying at Hunters Moon campsite next door with friends and just called in. Sunday roast was great, lovely meat and plenty of food. Billy's quiz was such fun, we really enjoyed the whole atmosphere. We enjoyed it all so much we went back in on Monday with more friends and had the same great experience. Billy and Maddie are such great hosts, we will definitely be back. Keep doing what you do guys

A great atmosphere on a Friday evening. We ate in the restaurant. Hake and Double Cheeseburger both absolutely excellent. Very swift and attentive service. Highly recommended.

We were a walk in couple and seated by a very pleasant lady. Her colleague served us drinks quite promptly, and we ordered our food. My wife chose the braised beef, which she enjoyed, but the portion size was small. I ordered the vegetable tart with rosemary and garlic potatoes with a side salad. Whilst the tart was superb, the potatoes had been re-heated and were inedible. I mentioned this to the server but no allowance was made on the bill, and there was a 10% service charge, which we paid. It is in a lovely location but really needs to do better food wise. I could not recommend on this visit.

Lovely food, some very good priced light lunch meals and cooked kid meals. The rest couldn’t comment as didn’t see how much you get for your money but average price for a main meal was £15-£19. Nitpicking here but couldn’t help but notice not all the chairs were matching. For the price of the meals it makes it seem more classy if things like that are standard. Good choice of drinks, great location near station.
