The Fox Inn in Forest of Dean - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Much too salty. Salty bread, salty beans, salty crust on chicken pie. Hake on a sea of red mush unappealing. Pie a bit too dry. No sign of a Manager. Not impressed and will not return. At least the prices were not outrageous but standard of cooking below par. Good beer.

It was our second time coming and we were very appalled with the quality and service. We arrived at 13:15 and had an extremely long wait for our food, which was very underwhelming. We then finally got our food at 15:00 which was cold and the food arrived at different times. Staff were very dismissive of us asking when the food was arriving. The staff couldn’t give us a time for when the food would arrive. The fish was overcooked and the meat was cold. The cauliflower cheese was burnt and the chips were dry. The broccoli was undercooked. Overall the staff were not welcoming and the food was disappointing to say the least. It was overpriced for the experience. And to be honest a waste of my time. I do not recommend.

We came to the Fox last May for Sunday lunch as a family of four and on that occasion we raved about it. The service was friendly and the food was excellent. We have just been back and cannot believe the contrast. We booked for 1.15 pm and the food did not arrive until 2.45 - that is for three of our party. Our son’s food did not arrive until 3pm. No apology, the staff appeared irritated when we asked after an hour how long the food might be. The response was that they were very busy ( we appreciate that but our table was booked in advance ) and that no estimate of when our food might arrive could be given. The food was awful. Chicken and beef was cold, cauliflower cheese was burnt and cold. Our son’s fish was so overcooked it was inedible. Overall really appalling. The first time I have ever been minded to place a review. Appreciate it is hard to run a hospitality business but if you have such a blatant disregard for your customers I’d suggest you do not bother.

Since reading a very positive review of The Fox in The Times I have been for dinner on three separate occasions. My first visit I was solo and I found the food (scotch egg, followed by fish and chips plus dessert) excellent, and the service superb. On my second (again solo) visit I had toad in the hole which was disappointing - the pudding mix was burnt and it was a stodgy meal - to be fair it could have been more about my choice - after all, toad in the hole is quite stodgy! On my most recent visit in November I bought along three family member’s. We all felt somewhat disappointed by starters and main courses. Service was slow and appeared to be under resourced. I know it’s difficult in the hospitality industry to recruit and retain staff and at the same time maintain consistently high standards of food. The Fox Inn is a lovely pub, however, my experience of the quality of the food has been inconsistent. Notwithstanding my experiences so far, I will go to The Fox Inn again.

We really enjoyed our Sunday roast. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and well cooked and it was a cosy atmosphere.

Deserves to do well, excellent staff, top notch service worthy of Hawksmoor. Outstanding food, wish I lived nearer.

Stayed in the village for two nights last week and had lunch and an evening meal on Friday at The Fox Inn as we didn't want to travel elsewhere because of heavy rain etc. We both had the fish soup and deserts for lunch, and for dinner I had the cheeseburger and my partner the partridge. The food tasted good, the servers were pleasant and the atmosphere nice. Unfortunately at 4am next morning I had a touch of food poisoning with the usual symptoms, and felt sicky for the rest of Saturday. I can only assume it was either the fish soup or the burger responsible as we had not eaten elsewhere that day. I was sent an automatic email requesting feedback on our dining experience so I sent the feedback as a private message explaining the above and expected some sort of reply but was disappointed that I was not contacted by the Fox Inn at all. I am sad to have to give such a review as the serving staff were so attentive.

The pub was everything you’d want from a Cotswolds pub- good beer, roaring fire, great food, lovely service and nice decor. Would highly recommend!

Has to be the most inhospitable establishments I've ever encountered. We're not local ( as we were made to feel...) Would never revisit or recommend

We followed Giles Coren's review and found the food mediocre. For £20 I had the ploughmans lunch which consisted of a jacket potato? Cheese mixed to a paste with beer? 2 half slices of ham , bread and lettuce leaves. No sign of a tomato or some decent cheese. the rest of the family were similarly underwhelmed. Will not be going again.

Great food. Great service. But a with a pricy main course, one would expect at least potatoes to be included. Had to pay another fiver for some after having a £26 main course.

The whole experience, from the welcome, to the food was just exceptional. Had my parents visiting and enjoyed a spot of lunch due to them being Father Brown enthusiasts. The ploughmans was spot on and Dad was super happy that they us ham egg and chips on the menu. This place is great, for friends, family, dining or just having a few beers in the garden (great selection of Kay and cask). Service was fantastic, I would highly recommend!

Having been 4-5 times now, either for a few jars or their food, I have been bowled over by the Fox. As part of the owners growing empire of Cotswolds pubs, combating the 'boujee London' takeover of the area, the Fox lives up to all of Giles' comments. Would eat all of the bar snacks and starters, especially the rarebit every day. The larger than life head chef has added mega new food as the seasons have moved on. The staff are exceptional, especially given the place is always buzzing. Would recommend to a friend or casual acquaintance.

Excellent food and impeccable service. The steak frites were as good as ever and the sole was exceptional, this remains our favourite local dining destination

Well, as far as I’m concerned, The Fox lived up to the press from Giles. Lunching solo, the staff were friendly and attentive. I had the Iberico pork in romesco sauce with grilled scallions and garlic and chilli broccoli as a side. All perfectly cooked and delicious with a pint of Donningtons. Perhaps it helped booking for midday and being the first to arrive. I will be going there again.

We arrived, as per the booking, at 7pm for the special dinner, headlined on The Fox’s Instagram feed. Only thing was, the day’s special menu wasn’t being served until 8.30pm. Which it did not say would be the case on their IG page, neither did it say so on their website, nor that it had to be specially ordered. That was bad enough but then to be told, via a DM from the Fox when we gave feedback privately that I was incorrect that the information was there - it wasn’t - I realised that detail wasn’t their forte and the word sorry was not in their vocabulary. . We stayed nonetheless because we did not want to be a last minute let down for a small business. Also because we were offered a better table. That’s important because to describe the tables in the dining room to be like sardines in a can would be to suggest that said fish enjoy the wide open spaces of eg Wyoming. The food was just ok, my trout very good my husband’s steak tasteless. Table number 2, right next to the door to the garden, was an improvement on the first but only that, which isn’t saying a lot. It’s a shame. We wanted to like this place but they are making that impossible. Competition in this part of the world is now very fierce. It didnt’t used to be. The Fox was packed last night, so they’re obviously doing ok. I don’t get it.

Read into Gile's comments as you want but the current set up has destroyed the Fox as a local village pub & community centre into a DFL Restaurant. Locals are well p*ssed off with this & the landlords (Donnington Brewery) are apparently being informed of their new tenants antics.

Four of us went for Sunday lunch at 2.15 pm. We have known this pub for 40 years but not visited under this management . It was busy. The main menu was available but for roasts they offered chicken belly pork and beef. We were told they had run out of beef!! Not a good start. We had chicken and pork. Very ordinary and pork was poor. Then after an hour a party of 12 arrived and sat very near us. They had beef!!!! Presumably pre booked. When we booked our table we were not offered to pre book beef. It was not a good value eating place.

The food was good and the service was quick and friendly. They have put too many tables in so it was very cramped. It is 'dog friendly' dog overrun would be better. Being next to a black dog which would not sit still and constantly moving about and wagging its tail all over me is neither hygienic or conducive to a relaxed meal. There were at least 8 dogs in the pub. Would not return.

We are lucky enough to live near the Lamb in Shipton and love it. Since the fox opened we have visited twice, the first for lunch a few weeks ago and it was lovely, (the owners were there at the time) but our most recent visit, which was an evening one was far from lovely. We booked last minute for an early supper. There appeared to be a discrepancy with the booking system and their own system which seemed to annoy the waitress and from then on we had the feeling she would rather we weren’t there. The service was slowish with only the one waitress attending to all the tables, it wasn’t packed but appreciate they may have had a busy lunch service, but she seemed harassed and instead of being cool and cheerful she was less than friendly to us, almost sarcastic. The biggest let down was the food. The burger would have passed muster for taste, but the bun was drenched and soggy and the overall presentation unappealing. The other main, the beans and carrots, was the strangest meal with nothing exciting about it all. A lot of liquid and very little substance and all for £19. There was barely any choice of dishes, unlike the lamb where I’m always excited about more than one dish, but here we struggled to get excited about any of it, and absolutely nothing light and summery on offer. There are so many lovely places to choose from around here, I’m afraid we won’t be returning, I’m sure the waitress will be thrilled to hear that.

Contrary to another reviewer, we have followed Giles Coren reviews and will now stop as we have been continually disappointed.He writes well ,his judgement of cuisine not so good .And often the places he reviews appear to be run by people he likes and respects...

Searched out for lunch while driving and exploring the Cotswolds. What a treat! Toad in the hole and chicken/leek pie were great. Enjoyed the Bonnington Best Bitter. Service was outstanding. This was a great dining experience for a group of American travelers who were looking...

Friends and I had dinner last evening at the Fox Inn. The staff were welcoming and attentive, but the big let down is the food and prices. Minuscule portions for a very over-priced menu.

Another of the places around here reviewed by Giles Coren - who has a property in the area. The “Coren Effect” seems to work wonders for the places reviewed and this was no exception being very busy. Let me say, I cannot fault Mr Coren’s...

Our first visit yesterday at the suggestion of a family member familiar with their out outlets. Park at the back, beware of those whose parking at the front may lead to problems. Inside it was busy, the volume of noise increased as more customers arrived...

Quite possibly the rudest and worst service I've ever experienced in a restaurant. They won't last long at this rate.

First visit since new ownership. Nice use of traditional pub decor but bar and where we ate was lacking in a bit of cosiness. Loved all of the food: Bread and olive oil, really fresh and fab quality; Scampi to start - yum; Toad in...

Restaurant prices for pub grub. Looked ansd tasted like frozen fish and chips. Off putting decor (taxidermy) and menu for vegetarians/vegans - obvious this is not its target market.

Under experienced friendly new management. Traditional pub with open fire and a good bar. Blackboard of delicious looking bar snacks. Very local Donnington beer, expertly cared for in the cellar, and an extensive wine list. We enjoyed every mouthful of our delicious dinner. It was...

We had lunch on opening day last Friday and it was amazing. We shared ploughman’s platters which were so beautifully presented, unlike any ploughman’s we’d had before. Everything so fresh and delicious. Great atmosphere and the guys were all so welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

The atmosphere was amazing, the staff were so helpful and polite. They made us feel very welcome. The food was amazing full of flavour.

Booked a table for lunch whilst staying in the area - many of the other local pubs had what our teenager described as 'arty farty' menus. Not so here. She had the fish and chips and cleared her plate. Four mains and three desserts later...

We stopped here for a drink on our way back from a family day out. The staff were welcoming and friendly and we enjoyed some drinks in the rear pub garden. The inside of the pub was lovely too and we will be back!

We walked from Stow to the Fox for lunch one day and had fish and chips and a BLT that were lovely. It was quiet and service was attentive.

We stayed at The Smithy nearby and only managed 2 meals here as it was so busy, didn’t know before leaving home to pre-book. The staff were all lovely and the meals were delicious. A must go for anyone holidaying in that area. Dog friendly...

We had a table for 9 at a pub that I know is always busy and you would expect as it's a great place, service fantastic, food fantastic, staff excellent and kept up well with demands. Don't expect to moan about the local beer if...

Stopped here in our campervans overnight on a Saturday as we were running an errand in the area and could not have been made to feel more welcome! Every single member of staff was lovely from the start and the food is first class! Even...

What can I say, nothing bad to say about this place. We were staying a few miles away from this pub, so with it being the nearest pub we struggled to get a taxi. The landlord actually had a member of staff ( Becky) pick...

Booked this pub for the first evening of a 2 night stay in lovely Broadwell. A buzzing little pub with an open fire and so quintessentially untouched English Cotswolds. We had a warm greeting from the lady behind the bar and although we were a...

A great Cotswold pub with excellent tasting food and good menu. A lovely meal on a Friday evening with a very welcoming host and fine tasting Rioja wine A short distance from Stow on the Wold but well worth the visit - the best compliment...

We saw the 2022 Sloe Gin Competition advertised on social media and thought that would be a good evening. We were not disappointed, we received a friendly welcome from staff and locals, we had a fabulous evening sampling and voting for the gins and fruit...

Staying in Stow and did a lovely walk to Broadwell and booked The Fox for Sunday lunch. Fantastic service and made to feel very welcome. Food was great and very good value. Would go again.

What a find whilst on holiday. Gorgeous pub in a beautiful location. Food is superb, friendly and very efficient staff, great atmosphere. Highly recommended. Can't wait for a return visit when next in the area.

We visited Broadwell for a long weekend away with friends. A beautiful quaint Cotswold village that was perfectly quiet. We booked the Fox for a meal on the Friday as it was within walking distance and menu looked lovely for a small village pub. On...

Village pub in a lovely setting, quaint and welcoming, serving real ale. We both enjoyed tasty meals having chosen The Fox for it’s menu highlighting gluten-free options. What a shame, my wife who is coeliac had contaminated food, either a major problem in the kitchen...

We are locals who with friends, visit pubs, cafes and restaurants on a very regular basis (at least once a fortnight) in the area. Having been disappointed some time ago at The Fox, it was with some trepidation we visited again but was encouraged in...

Easily booked on their website for an evening meal during one night stop in Stow on the Wold Chosen based on reviews, location and menu. Good Welcome, friendly service and good food. We enjoyed the Crab Ravioli and Beer Battered Fish and Chips, followed by...

After a couple of very good previous visits in recent years, we went with high hopes to the Fox . We were a little worried that the place was deserted, after previous visits being absolutely full (both on Friday lunchtimes too). Everything seemed to go...

Nice country pub which serves good quality food. The service was good and polite. Food quality high, starters and deserts a little expensive but mains reasonably priced.

A small and straightforward menu - but a delicious meal in an atmospheric setting. A really relaxing night out without any of the 'gastro silliness' (and prices) that affect some other pubs in the area. The crab ravioli is delicious - as are the mixed...

What a gem of a pub, from the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. A lovely country pub. The landlord and staff couldn't do enough for us. The food was exceptional, served with a smile and piping hot. Can't wait to go...

Popped in for lunch having sought out somewhere out of the way to avoid the large numbers of tourists in Bourton on the water. A lovely pub in a lovely setting, the staff were friendly and explained that the children’s menu were smaller potions of...

Food good but when requesting something to be omitted chef needs to look at client's wishes. I was offered a complimentary drink but didn't want one but the offer was given which was very kind. We did all enjoy our meals and all had different...

Stopped here with a motorhome to use the camping field for the night. Popped in to the inn for a drink and decided to stay for Sunday lunch. Roast beef was excellent and all the trimmings hot and tasty! The staff are so friendly, nothing...

The Cotswolds is booming with properties selling well to city dwellers who have decided to work more at home. This has led to the old fashioned local pubs being bought up and made more attractive to the wealthy newcomers i.e. prices up and food size...

A massive thanks to the Fox Inn for our recent stopover, we had a lovely meal & drinks the staff were very good & the service was excellent 😊👍

We love this pub.we visited last year in our campervan on way to Cornwall so this year again was a must. Camped in the carpark for free. We had a warm friendly welcome from the landlord and staff. They had a power cut so eyeing...

Spent a lovely couple of hours in such a quaint pub garden. Staff were very attentive and friendly even though it was scorching. Cold beers and hot food served quickly and efficiently. Although the garden was full with a mixed bunch of clientele, it wasn’t...

We booked for a Sunday lunch from the start the service was poor menus just put in front of us nothing explained and completely different prices to the website page we waited a while for drinks then the soup was bought out plonked in front...

Sunday Lunch - we had the roast beef - outstanding, rare just how we like it. And a generous portion too. The Yorkshire pudding was excellent light and crispy. The roast potatoes and veg were also very good. The menu was very limited possibly due...

Excellent pub and really nice staff who kindly loaned us some prosecco glasses for the duration of our stay nearby. Good beer on tap and a really nice beer garden. All in all a very pleasant place for a quiet drink and will definitely go...

I don't leave many reviews and certainly not negative ones but extremely disappointed with our visit to the fox. and certainly won't be returning. On arrival we made our way to the rear of the pub and inadvertently entered the wrong way and was screamed...

If you’re looking for a weekend getaway to the Cotswolds you must stop here. The area is so quiet and beautiful and we ended up in this pub after finding out about them online. We were on a campervan and parked outside for a whole...

We met here with our family a week past Sunday. The food was great and served promptly and courteously. Nothing was too much trouble including variations to the dishes for our grandchildren. The inn is in a lovely quiet setting by the extensive village green...

We booked by phone knowing that at Saturday early evening could be busy. What a good idea that was,we got there to see only 2 cars out the front, but inside all but 1 table was occupied, there was a loud buz from a kids...

We stopped here while on holiday in the village; it is the only pub in the village, and was very busy. We booked table (make sure that you book at the right Fox Inn as there is another one in a nearby village). The staff were friendly and attentive. I had excellent pipping hot lasagna, followed by tasty brownie with ice cream. I would definitely recommend and will likely return before we leave. Very nice place

We came here with our family today (3 adults 1 pre teen and a set of 18 month old twins) couldn’t fault the service, the food was amazing a good roast is hard to find these days but we found it here! They catered brilliantly for all ages with high chairs for the babies and plenty of outdoor room for them to stretch their legs and plenty of meat on the plate. They have a seamless corona virus system that doesn’t hamper your time spent and yet still makes you feel safe. Thanks to the chef and staff for making our visit enjoyable. Would definitely recommend anyone to go here, we will 100% be back for another Sunday dinner soon! Thanks willow & clemmie and our parents

A must visit!! For atmosphere, food & a roaring fire. My friend and I booked to have a meal Friday and Saturday and take our campervans to stay overnight. We were spoilt from the moment we arrived Friday evening to the moment we left Sunday morning. The Fox Inn is beautiful, set in pretty Broadwell. Ed and his team were all very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was absolutely delicious and my friend loved the local cider. We can’t fault anything, we were sad to leave but we will definitely be returning!!! Thank you Ed for a truly wonderful stay!

Recently found this wonderful place during a stay in the cotswolds out of the blue. What a great find it was . The pub host was very welcoming and the pub had a great atmosphere , would be lovely to stay during the winter as it had a proper open We both had the lasagna which was very meaty yum yum . Definitely visiting again .

Very disappointing arrived at 8 pm on a Friday evening to have a meal outside which we have done in the past, only to be turned away and advised they stop doing food , yet we overheard a member of staff taking a food order , what more can I say.....

This pub is in a lovely setting and has a nice atmosphere with friendly staff. We had a pork belly main course which was tasty. Unfortunately the desserts we had were pretty bad both the bakewell cake and sticky toffee pudding were bland and seemed stale it put a bit of a downer on the experience which is a shame because it has the potential to be really nice

A warm friendly welcome. We were staying in our camper in their back field. They accommodated us at short notice and even managed to squeeze us in inside. Pizza was fantastic as was the beer and all at good prices. We would recommend and will definitely be back in we’re in the area.

We visited The Fox With friends one evening, despite being busy the food and service was superb - can highly recommend the pizzas. The pub has taken plenty of measures regarding COVID and social distancing was in place. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back in the future.

We stayed in the camping field at the back, which had plenty of room. The service was welcoming, friendly and the staff regularly checked to see if we were okay. Our food came out quickly and was very good. I’m surprised to read someone stating the decor looked tired, as they obviously didn’t go inside. It was very nicely decorated, felt like a proper English pub and I look forward to our next visit.

Excellent people very friendly and well mannered attention to detail very kind & very helpful. We were camping there. It was a little chilly went into the pub the fire was on. Lovely atmosphere the food was first rate. We booked again for the following night. We will return. Thanks so much Tom Ed for making our break a great one.

The Fox is enviably situated on the green in the lovely hamlet of Broadwell. We visited for dinner on a Thursday in mid August. It was busy, but due to Covid was only serving drinks and food in the garden, although a marquee had been set up to provide some protection from the elements. From what we could see of the inside, the place looked rather tired.Food was mediocre pub stuff - Piri piri chicken, scampi, lasagne etc. all served with chips. Perfectly edible, but you’d hope for better nowadays. Service was efficient and friendly. For a pub in such a lovely setting and in such an affluent and touristy area, the Fox could be a great pub - just a bit of investment required by the brewery!

To say our experience was disappointing is an understatement. It was our first time there and we booked on the strength of previous reviews, but we must have caught the chef/kitchen on a bad night. Alarm bells rang when our food arrived in 5 mins! It’s not a fast food joint after all. I wonder if some food was pre-cooked as the staff were expecting a busy night. Pizza bases were as crispy as poppadoms. Everything lacked seasoning. Staff were friendly if not attentive. We had to call someone over to order drinks, food and ask for the bill. We fed back to staff that the pizzas in particular were dry and tasteless, but they only apologised and offered nothing more.

Stopped here and had a great lunch. Very well organised for COVID-19. We had an excellent bacon & Brie baguette, bacon nicely well done, delicious molten Brie and all piping hot. Great place for walkers’ stop-off.

We visited in our Moho and stayed in the field behind the pub as we are britstoppers. What an amazing welcome we had from Ed and Dominique, such lovely people. The food was amazing, friendly service, they really have this covid safety thing off to a tee. All tables cleaned in between customers with text ordering, lovely marquee and setting. Highly recommend!!!!

Lovely food in the beer garden. We had a stone baked Napoli pizza and a portion of chips. Great service and lovely for relax in the large garden.

Had Sunday lunch here which was very nice. standing room only so popular! we booked ahead otherwise don't think we would have got a table. I liked how the roast was served with hidden veg under the meat! extra gravy on the side was a nice touch. chocolate font was excellent. good friendly service food came out quickly. I would say very slightly over priced, but all in all very good. No wow factor hence a well deserved 4 stars.

Fantastic food. Nice customer service with warm environment. A very good option for a drink or some food.

We visited the Fox today for a group lunch and had a fantastic time. Warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food. Definitely pop in for a pint or for lunch if you're in the local area

Very happy to adapt menu to suit my husband’s medical dietary requirements. Generous portions. Good pub menu. Real open fire. Great position overlooking a large village green. Easy car parking at front or rear. Wcs were a bit tired looking but perfectly clean.

We came as a group of six with one dog over the new year period. A very warm welcome and great food awaited us. Celebrated new year's eve here too because the staff and locals had been so friendly. A great night was had by all. Many thanks to Ed for keeping us entertained! We'll definitely return.

Four of us had lunch today and it was so good. The pub has a lovely atmosphere and the service was friendly and welcoming. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back.

Stopped in here for dinner on our first evening staying in Broadwell. A nice small village pub. Got a couple of local beers. My wife had Fish & Chips which was pretty ordinary. I had a Gnocchi dish that was really very flavorful. If you find your self in this small town give this place a go.

Four of us dined at a cosy table near the fire and bar. I must say I was not expecting such well presented and prepared food. The menu was somewhat limiting but what we chose were very nice dishes of whole trout, chicken supreme, a burger, mussels, soup and a ham hock terrine. The mussels were very fresh and a nice portion for hungry guys. The ham hock terrine was absolutely delicious. The ambience is a no frills pub, not in any way a jewel box inside like many gastro pubs in the area, however the service was efficient and we were very happy with our delicious meals. It is a local favorite evidenced by all of the diners who were there on a Monday night! We will be back!

The Fox Inn is not a gourmet pub, it is a modernized pub serving average traditional food with nice and friendly but not very service minded staff.

We had a lovely time yesterday, cosy friendly pub with real fire on village green, we had fish and lamb, both delicious. Was very busy with locals, glad we booked eatlier in the day. Thoroughly recommended.

last sunday8/9/19 we had a lovely HOT from start to finish sunday lunch,we really enjoyed the atmosphere & food, my only gripe is we were sat at a table right in the walkway of customers & staff which was abit uncomfortable & really shouldn't be used in that space,but we will deffinately be back but ask for a much better table,but i can honestly say my dinner was still pipping hot to the last mouthfull(brilliant)!!today sadly we ate somewhere else & it was terrible, so we will be back for roasts & evening menu,thankyou to all involved.

Everything you could possibly wish for from an English pub on the green in a perfectly quiet village with amazingly hospitable hosts and locals.

We wanted to find a cosy local pub offering good home cooked food. After researching nearby places, we booked The Fox Inn and it was a great choice. A few spaces are available for parking in front of the pub, with more in the car park behind. Bookings can be taken by phone or email. My email received a very swift reply.

Old Donningtons pub with newish landlord. Food was above average quality and reasonable cost. Nice people running it.

We rambled to Broadwell from Stow-on-the-Wold via Donnington. Picturesque little pub / inn in a little village. The food was very good, the people were kind, and all-in-all... one of those places you would go back to if you were a local. I am a stingy reviewer so 4-stars is recommended for me.

We were very impressed with the quality of the food and a good Pub menu. Very friendly staff extremely helpful, we sat outside because we have a wheelchair user in our party, A very nice experience in a traditional country pub. We will definitely return when we are in that area again.Highly recommend this pub.

Since my last visit, the landlord has moved on and his successor, Ed and his team bring a breathe of fresh air to this traditional, off the beaten track, Cotswold Inn.

Stopped by for a perfect pub lunch last Sunday. Fantastic food and what a great location. The village green across the road has a little playground and the pub has a big garden. Good service, local ales, well priced what's not to like.

If It is a genuine, local Cotswold pub experience you are after, come to The Fox Inn. Get away from the predictable touristy Cotswolds and live like a local. Ed, Dominique and their staff make you feel like part of the extended village family with a warm welcome, the obligatory ale and brilliant meal. We opted for the Sunday roast and after 7 weeks on the road sampling roasts around the UK, this one tops the rankings from the beautifully cooked beef and veggies to the crispy yorky and the best gravy of the lot! Set amongst a quiet peaceful village, experience the real Cotswolds right at The Fox Inn. Brilliant!

This was a great choice for Sunday lunch. We were in a large group, and we found the service friendly and helpful, the food delicious and the prices very reasonable. Excellent.
