Lovely little pub with friendly staff. Decent meal was had by myself and my friend after our walk. Seemed quite busy for a weekday lunch, but I suppose that speaks for itself!

Stopped here after seeing their advert on Facebook for their steak night. Nice large carpark at the side/rear. We were welcomed by Sarah who showed us our table. We ordered 2 sirloins steaks with peppercorn sauce, 2 drinks, 1 dessert and coffees and the cost was only £65. Steaks were cooked perfectly and we were well looked after. If you are looking for a nice night out, give The Fox Inn a try. You will not be disappointed.

My wife and I booked for Sunday lunch and weren't disappointed. The service was excellent and so was the food. The prices are fair too. This is the second time we've eaten here since the new owners have taken over and it won't be the last.

We had a lovely family meal at the Fox Inn yesterday. The menu, the service and the food was exceptional. We had prawns to start which were enormous and very tasty! Our mains were excellent too: plentiful fish and chips, scampi and chips and spare ribs - we would highly recommend all of the dishes. Colin, Emma and their team gave us a very warm welcome and went above and beyond to look after us. We will definitely come and visit you again - with appropriate transport plans next time!

We decided to go for the Sunday lunch which was delicious - the portions are very generous and the chef knows how to make roast potatoes and yorkies :) - the food, service and ambience 5 star -

Just had Sunday lunch here for the fourth time (in two years) We had the same menu items as on previous visits, too. It's nice (to us anyway) to find the menu's the same, and that the quality's just the same, with the same guy producing the food. Consistency's a nice quality in itself. Our grandson had turkey, we had a vegetarian Brie tart. The accompanying vegetables arrived well cooked without being overcooked, and not overly seasoned/salted. My grandson asked for apple sauce with his turkey, and it was provided without fuss or raised eyebrows... What more can you ask for from waiting staff? Highly recommended. Drive carefully in the car park... A mallard drake and his two lady friends were relaxing in the sunshine, look out for them... Part of the character of the place...

Visited on steak night (Thursday, buy one get one free!) We had chilli beef to start and that was lovely. Would fully recommend. It wasn't listed as a starter but happy to serve it. Followed by 2 sirloin steaks cooked to absolute perfection, chips were lovely too. Personally something that I thought should get a mention was a delicious fresh salad! We shared a brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream and that ensured we left thoroughly happy.

This is my go to lasagna place. I’ve never found better anywhere else. Always get a generous portion. Rich and flavoursome. I read one review that says there wasn’t enough. All I can say is they must have a huge appetite. I’m sure if they had mentioned this to the staff they would have happily given them some more. Received a nice warm welcome. Lovely traditional country pub with comfortable seating. Staff very attentive. Will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend.

I was told great things about the lasagne here (which I adore), so this is where I wanted to celebrate my birthday. The setting of the pub is lovely, quite oldie wordlie, staff lovely. However… we were told by lots that the lasagne couldn’t be finished as it was such a generous portion and very rich… This picture was taken after I had eaten the tiniest slither… very disappointed to be honest. More coleslaw than lasagne, where was the rest?

Everything was beautifully presented and the portions were incredible, I did not leave hungry. The landlord of the pub mass is very friendly and welcoming. Not only does he cook amazing food but he also comes out and chats with his customers. Nothing is too much hassle. Had the best evening here. I only wish I lived closer as this is a great local pub for the village they are incredibly lucky to have this gem on the doorstep. Thanks mass for a great night and Jane for always keeping our drinks topped up ☺️ Hopefully will be back soon

Feel really sad writing this review as I’d visited here a few years back and it was excellent.However, last night we visited and today we are all poorly with D&V.My 7 year son was up in the night feeling really poorly, my boyfriend was ill almost straight away and I have also been up most of the night. The food was beyond poor, my boyfriend complained about his chicken tikka kebab and exchanged it for a kids meal as there was nothing else that really stood out for him or that he dare try and what he was first presented with. His “tikka” kebab lacked any colour, the chicken was almost black in places and was of a slimy texture. My meal of chicken and chorizo tagliatelle was edible as it was hidden with lots and lots of paprika, but it didn’t wow, presentation was poor and I’ve felt sick all evening. My sons nuggets and chips were ok, although he didn’t finish it all. We ordered garlic bread on the side which none of us touched, it was like an Asda smart price one, it was a anaemic with absolutely no colour to it! These dine out to help out offers are just not worth it if you still want quality food, pubs are either becoming greedy and are using the cheapest ingredients ever or their so called chefs just can’t keep up with the demand. I feel quite sad that a pub like this has lost its way in terms of the food they are making, it was worse than a chain menu. I would never visit here again

For this reason, what the The Fox and in particular Maz are doing in providing take away food and drink is 100% appreciated by ourselves and others to provide food and drink over these very challenging times. Furthermore, Maz extremely kindly and generously has not charged for my wife's meal as she is a worker in the NHS.

We booked a table at the Fox to celebrate my husbands birthday along with our two sons. We were shown to our table straight away and were quickly supplied with menus and drinks. Our order was taken fairly quickly, but there were three tables who had ordered ahead of us, so we had a little wait for our food to arrive. When it came it was plentiful, hot and very delicious. The sweet menu was not extensive but we all ordered different things and all were well presented and again no complaints and four empty dishes.There were four menus to choose from including a roast menu that is only available on Wednesdays.We will definitely visit again.

A lovely village but the pub is not as exciting as you’d hope. It’s a bit spit and sawdust inside but incredibly popular for Sunday Lunch. The portions are enormous with a good choice of meats.

Where to begin... We were recommended to visit for Sunday Lunch by some good people we met in Market Harborough. Thank You! Good choice! In the first instance its a proper pub with a hard working landlord and staff that still find time to make new customers very welcome. The atmosphere is great and instantly you relax and begin to enjoy the experience. Good beer and sensible selection of ales. The food! Did I mention the food... Quality and quantity! Plenty of meat choices for the Sunday roasts and you can opt to some of everything... When I say some, I mean my plate was heaped with beautifully cooked meat, gravy and a substantial yorkshire pudding. The rest of the vegetables came out on separate serving plates (no room on the main plate). It was delicious. I was defeated but the young person serving us automatically offered to wrap up the leftover meat for us to take away. Top marks to a all concerned. Great food, great pub. I wish it was my local because I would be in there pretty much everyday.

We have eaten here before and always enjoyed it so we took 7 family members. Starters were lovely and generous and the puddings yummy. However we were so disappointed with the Sunday roast as it was very very salty. We decided it was the gravy and possibly the roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese also. It ruined the meal and we could not eat much of it. We advised the waitress who apologised and said the chef said it must be the gravy as he uses meat juices. However he needs to taste it. There was no offer to replace the meals although I do think we would of had to wait a long time for that as they were full and busy. I think the salty gravy only affected us as others were happily tucking in. Bitterly disappointed especially after spending £160. Can I suggest to please put gravy in jug and not all over the dinner Incase there is an issue.

The Spanish omelette my friend had looked huge and was enjoyed. All around the pub are objects for sale as they own a shop in Uppingham, some really nice quirky objects.

I visited as part of a large group for a family birthday, despite the fact the pub was busy (it was sunday) the food and service was fantastic, obviously all home made (no frozen yorkshire puddings here!) and the portions were massive. I am vegan and they were able to accomodate me. Also worth mentioning I contacted the pub in advance to ask if they did vegan food, they replied and were super helpful. It was well worth the 49 mile drive!

Met up for Sunday lunch. Pretty picture postcard village. The Fox Inn is next to the village pond so lovely location. The pub is lovely inside and we were given a warm welcome. Food is cheap and plentiful. I had the veggie options which were not to my taste however everyone else enjoyed theirs so could have just been my choices. I had parsnip soup which was very thin and had a strange taste and for mains I had a veggie risole again, not to my taste. Apparently the beer was very nice! Would go again and choose something else. Pudding was fab. Service was attentive.

The food is always exelent, and there's relaxed and fun atmosphere. It's my favorite place to go for dinner, and I can always come here to cheer up, whether it be to eat or a quick drink. Thank you!

We came here as a family of four having been given recommendation on a new style menu. We arrived on a Tuesday night with the restaurant busy and a lovely atmosphere. What was good to see was the excellent choice of beer from Timothy Taylor to IPA. To eat, my daughters had chicken and chorizo tagliatelle and my wife had the most flavoursome Asian style Tuna as a healthy option. I had lamb skewers also as a healthy option with a lovely fresh side salad. Thank you to the chef and the landlord for a great night and will be returning very soon.

My family often go to this pub and I thought that it wouldn’t be suitable for me. But I can honestly say that the chef was amazing. I had a lovely 3 course meal with my family also enjoying theirs. The food was actually better than some restaurants I have been to with an actual Vegan menu. Very highly recommended to all. It’s also really nice to see the animals in the field. Great for kids.

Went with group of friends and enjoyed great food. Most of us only had two courses as the portions were so generous. The serving staff were friendly and very hospitable. Would highly recommend. We will be back

Love the fox, been several times now, portions are if anything, too big, but better than leaving hungry! Floor staff could be a little more service focused at times, but generally exceptable, the food makes up for this!

Our second trip for lunch to this lovely cozy and welcoming pub/ restaurant. Set in a lovely position next to a green and duck pond it was lovely to watch horses and dog walkers travel past as we ordered lunch. Fabulous extensive menu, with something for every taste and pocket , we had superb service , our well behaved dog was welcomed to join us and the food which was clearly freshly cooked from scratch was absolutely excellent , worthy of the highest class of restaurant. Atmosphere was lovely and it was an all round enjoyable experience! Highly recommended .

Badly managed. Slow service even when not very busy. Unmanaged wasp nests. Rude staff. We have been very disappointed with our experience here after a recommendation. Only positive is that it is based in a really nice setting and good for kids.

Popped into the fox inn just by chance during lunchtime and was very pleasantly surprised. Excellent choice on the lunchtime menu and very reasonably priced. Couldn’t fault the service and the food was delicious. Looking forward to a return visit.

After arriving 15 minutes we waited for a drink at the bar. A customer who had eaten was having problems paying her bill after being charged for drinks she had not had, she left with this unresolved. We were then served by the one member of staff behind the bar who was very helpful gave us a drink, took us to our table and gave us some menus. We waited for 30 minutes and no one came to take our order. Whilst we were waiting another party who had been seated before us came to the bar to place their order they were asked to take a seat. There were only two waiting staff and the restaurant was really busy. By 9pm we were hungry and not happy as we knew if we left we would struggle to get a table somewhere else. Ruined the night really and wont be returning. Just clearly not enough staff! The food that came out of the kitchen looked ok just a pity that we never got to try any. Wont be returning we live about 10 miles away, used Tripadvisor reviews to chose somewhere to eat. Its too far to travel to take the risk that we wont get fed, Saturday nights are too precious for this type of experience.

Hi we visited here today with a large booking of 12. Waited for over half hour for our table, despite asking if it was ready a few times, continuously being told 5 mins! Once finally sat, we waited for at least another 45 minutes, despite requesting if we could order. Until I finally found who was suppose to be head of service. If you are vegetarian take care, as I called to check early today to check carvery less meat was possible, apparently for a quid less!. Told yes, low and behold, the menu said duck fat roasties so, I asked and a lovely young girl checked and returned very apologetic, saying yes they are cooked in duck fat. Finally, once again after finding a lady who was supposed to be leading the afternoon, which by now was evening, came to our table. I asked about the mix up re carvery, she offered no apology for the time we had waited. I asked again how much longer, suggested an apology to our parties B' day girl. That did result in a bottle of processco! I do not tend to do reviews, but this head or service proceeded to tell me the potatoes were okay for a vegan! I explained theyre are not so, she disappears again and returns saying they're not! So, then my choice from the vegan meant we all had to wait again! 20mins pass, I find her again. Finally the party were able to start to queue! Yes queue! Unbelievable! If you have any allergies take care eating here is all I have to say. Credit to the young team keeping her afloat, shame they all looked so, stressed. To The Shires I recommend you book less people in and provide a better service. With head of service that has some people skills keeping customers waiting informed.

Family have just had a fantastic Sunday meal. 7 adults, 2 children. The staff were lovely attentive yet unobtrusive. The food was lovely, plentiful and served hot. Good value. The menu was a Sunday lunch /Dinner range. A much larger menu is available through out the week. Thanks to all the staff and Maz.
