The Fox Inn in Eden

Excellent meal with family. The food and service is consistently excellent and nothing is ever too much trouble for Sid,Katy and the staff. The pavlova is to die for! The restaurant was very busy but all socially distanced and felt safe due to Covid safety measures in place. We will definitely be back again soon.

Went out for family meal good food and friendly relaxed atmosphere with good car parking Would recommend

I come here every time we stay at the adjoining campsite. The food is always amazing and the beer is good. A family run business with really fun, friendly staff. If you are in this neck of the woods I cannot recommend The Fox Inn, Ousby and its mouth-watering food highly enough.

Staying with friends on Crossfell Caravan Site and this is the local. Great food and drinks with a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Views and surrounding area are simply stunning and the weather is just amazing!

Excellent food more than enough on the plate. Great service and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this place .

really great food if you are really hungry go here you get large potions . roast dinner is lovely . very warming place to be in be aware this pub dont open on tuedays or wednesdays and dont do food on thursdays . everyone welcome x

Excellent food for excellent value! Good and efficient service. Well worth a visit. Also does Outside Catering! Private Partys! Will defenitly visit again very soon.

We have had several evening meals here (It's not our nearest pub) and many beers. Each and every time we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and left feeling stuffed with great food. Friendly, prompt service and very relaxed. Brilliant👍

We had The Fox Inn recommended by friends, so last Sunday we set off to arrive just after the opening time of 6pm. After a warm greeting at the bar we were shown to a table in the dining room with our drinks. Everything about this pub is friendly, we ordered our food and were served very quickly, the waitresses are super - nothing too much trouble. I have to say we both enjoyed a super meal, freshly cooked and piping hot. The portions are large so we couldn't manage a sweet but we will definitely return to rectify this. If you are need feeding and are in the Ousby area go no further, head straight to The Fox. Thanks a lot guys, we'll be back.

We arrived on a busy bank holiday without reservation. They made us feel welcome and squeezed us in. They warned us about a long wait, but in truth there was hardly a wait at all. The food arrived was healthy proportions and very tasty. First class food and service. The ‘Fox Burger’ is a meal and a half. Sirloin Steak was a good cut of meat. Will not hesitate to go again ( most probably tonight!)

Acabamos comimos aquí antes de esta noche y sin duda volveremos. Cálida y limpia. En cuanto a la comida mmm. Mi marido y yo la carne asada absolutamente hermoso el budín de yorkshire era enorme y los vegetales cocinados a la perfección. Después de visitar el distrito de los Lagos para el día que nos volvimos a casa de Durham cuando mi marido vio la señal en el lado izquierdo de la carretera y decidimos oportunidad tan contentos que hicimos. Como he dicho, sin duda volver

Hemos visitado este pub un par de veces, pero ahora que está de vuelta en las manos de Sid y su esposa va de fuerza a la fuerza.Nos alojamos en el turismo de caravanas en la carretera del sitio (para fácil asombrosa distancia) y reservamos una mesa para Nochevieja.Nada de genial es la mejor manera de describir el servicio, la calidad de la comida y el ambiente. Un pub para todo el mundo, familias, parejas, gente y gente de paso.A un precio razonable. Buena selección de cervezas. Preciosa decoración y ambiente. . . Qué más se puede pedir? !

Pasamos una agradable velada en compañía del personal y clientes en el Fox Inn.La comida era fabulosa, el servicio era insuperable y el pub en sí era tan amable y atmosférica. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente. Si estás en la zona y buscando algo de comer, recomiendo encarecidamente el Fox Inn

Nos alojamos cerca del Fox inn para la última semana de las vacaciones escolares, y fuimos a la fox en dos noches diferentes, ambas veces fueron intachables. La comida era deliciosa y el servicio fue excelente! Los precios eran buenos y había una buena selección. Sin duda volveremos cuando estamos alojados allí.

El Fox Inn está de vuelta en manos de los propietarios de nuevo y Katie en la cocina y su marido Sid en el bar y el eficiente y amables camareras están haciendo un excelente trabajo.

Usamos este lugar para nosotros y los visitantes durante años, entonces salí de la hierva... Ahora está burbujeante de nuevo, gran ambiente relajado y comida estupenda para ver.

Lovely county pub with fantastic food. Lovely homemade soup, and we had duck and cod fillet for mains. Desserts were also very good. Great service from staff who couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommended and will be visiting again!

Al haber comido en este establecimiento en el pasado mientras bajo gestión diferente y otros pubs localmente, no esperaba nada aparte de feria estándar de pub. Sin embargo, era malo, muy malo! Éramos una familia de 7 personas y la comida de todo el mundo era excelente (magníficos frescos, preparados con habilidad y comprensión) y a un precio muy razonable. Además de la fantástica comida también tenían una buena selección de cerveza. Estamos deseando volver!

The Fox Inn has been under new management since May 2015 It's well worth a visit now. Great food, superb service lovely selection of beers, wines and spirits Family friendly, dogs welcome The landlord couldn't have been more friendly Bang opposite the pub is a...

Reservado para ir a Penrith para una comida nos decepcionó que el puente langwathy estaba cerrado debido a las inundaciones. Así que comimos en el Fox cerca de nuestra caravana. Dos adultos y dos niños. La comida era precioso. Bien presentado y fresca. Una de...

The Fox Inn is on its way up - new owners are working extremely hard to get this place a name for itself. Stayed over on Saturday night - bed was massive, lovely fresh clean linen and lovely soap, shower gel and shampoo/conditioner (the personal touches you remember). Dinner was lovely - portions are huge and sadly never even got to try a dessert - garlic bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar is just gorgeous. Breakfast was good quality and served on a heated plate - which makes a difference for us slow eaters - Thanks David and Sabrina - if in the area again - will definitely be back. When the bedrooms are fitted with en-suite this would be a 5 star rating without a doubt!!

Lovely warm welcome from the landlady, very cosy pub with woodburner providing warm environment. Friendly vibe from staff and locals and fabulous tasty food at reasonable prices. Definitely to be revisited soon.

Stayed up the road and were not sure this pub was open for business but it definitely is; you have to book on a Friday or Saturday night we came Sunday and ate in the bar with the dog; the food is stunning and the portions generous and the landlord very friendly they only took over in June 2015 so ignore any reviews before then; just be aware restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday which was a big disappointment as we wanted to go back!

My wife and I made a last minute booking to re-visit The Fox and explore the Fells around there. New hosts, Dave and Sabrina, were marvellous. They are very friendly and nothing was too much bother for them. The double room we stayed in, with our Bedlington Terrier, was well equipped, clean and comfortable. The tea, coffee, milk and sugar we had used was replaced in the morning after the room was spruced up. The breakfast was really good and the food in the restaurant was also excellent; we both had steak and both were cooked to perfection. Everything combined, the weather, the hospitality and the walks, made our weekend one to remember. We will definitely be back.

The pub has been taken over. The couple running it have improved the food back to what it was a few years back - i.e Excellent.

We have been visitors to Ousby for many years and our choice of caravan site was because of the pub being a stone throw from site.Having been at The Fox Inn when it was necessary to book to wondering if we would even find the pub open, the last time a year ago, the place was rundown, cigarette ends outside, everywhere (a pet hate of mine) sticky tables and the landlords perched on stools behind the bar we ate and left, can I just say the steaks were excellent.July 2015, we returned after hearing the pub had changed hands and was doing well and also checking out tripadvisor we headed down and was so welcoming to see it had all been cleaned up outside and inside, what a bright cheerful welcome so enjoyed the food, Sirloin Steak was spot on, Gammon and Curry ace. Brownie and ice cream was second choice but will be back for the cheesecake, good to see offering a lighter choice for a meal in baquettes, good pub grub and hearing that Sunday Carvery is value for money so looking forward to having this.Well done and was so nice to see locals enjoying meals and catching up. Will be back.xx

just had another excellent meal at the fox inn, Sunday carvery, plenty of choice ,food piping hot, great service from both Dave and Sabrina, good price ,will defiantly return, puds were excellent too.

Had a fantastic meal 8 adults and 3 children all the meals came together. beautifully presented well cooked different meals more or less for everyone. Empty plates which says it all. Its a must if round that area.

Under New Management! The Fox is serving food again, new landlord/lady Dave and Sabrina are very welcoming and have put food back on. I visit regularly, having a holiday home in Ousby. The pub has been busy the last few times we've been in and it looks like the new couple are really making a go of it. There's a new chef who has put together a decent menu and the food is spot on with portion sizes that would fill the hungriest of people. I had a lovely curry and everyone in my party really enjoyed the food! Another plus point is that the real ale is kept and served well. The restaurant side has had a new carpet and a lick of paint and I believe the bar side is getting a makeover very soon! I'm happy to show my support and help Dave and Sabrina make a go of it! Good luck!

We now have a couple running this pub who actually want to be there. Good food Coming this week. Give it a try. Pub is çlean and Sabrina and Dave are very friendly

Recently had a holiday in Memberby and this pub was recommended by our cottage owner. We also saw advertisements on local roads advertising food. Imagine our disappointment then when we turned up on a Sunday evening to find one person in the Pub and were informed that "we only serve food on a Friday and Saturday" and this was despite the board outside saying that food was available. Talk about false advertising! Perhaps the food is good but we wouldn't know.

The Fox Inn is only serving food Friday & Saturday nights at the moment but is obviously doing something right as it was packed both nights. We got in just before 9pm on the Friday and the landlady was very forgiving and squeezed us in. One steak and one beef lasagna ordered and we sat down with a nice pint and a decent red wine. The steak was divine - my other half was well impressed and the lasagna was delicious...both served with a pile of chips and salad, onion rings etc. The landlady, Denise, was very chatty and friendly and made sure we were happy and our drinks were filled up. We liked it so much we booked again for the Saturday night and boy, were we pleased we had! It was absolutely filled to the rafters. Steak again (once he likes something that's it) and a chicken and choriza lasagna for me this time....delicious. Full marks to the staff for keeping it all running smoothly when very busy and for still finding time to chat with the customers. We really hope they succeed as they've just had the pub from the beginning of this year so have had to work hard at bringing custom back. If they continue like this, they will get there!And yes, we will return!

The Fox is back! A good menu, a selection of real ales and a friendly atmosphere! Since Peter and Denise have been at the fox it has gone from strength to strength. Definitely worth a visit. Good campsite over the road too!

I stayed at the camp site opposite (www.crossfellcaravanpark.co.uk) and called in to the Fox for an evening meal. The beer was great and I had a bar meal, which was spot on. They also have a small restaurant which is open Friday to Sunday. I will be going back next week!

I Camped in the camp site which is just opposite. Good food and beer. And not too far to walk back to your accommodation.

The Fox has changed hands over the past few months and the new landlords are certainly making a go of it. The real ales are back with a new Head Chef and a new enthusiasm to make this remote country pub the success it should be. We ate here for Sunday lunch with a few glasses of wine. We had massive portions of roast beef, homemade yorkies and a huge selection of veg. All of the wine was priced at £9.95 per bottle, regular household bottles of Lindemans Merlot and similar. If you've been here before and didn't like it, give the new guys a chance. Great little pub with a clever chef and a nice relaxing atmosphere. What's not to like, less formal and more authentic than some of it's local rivals.

Ate with friends and our dogs, new owners very friendly and welcoming, we had steaks and fish and chips and a lovely pineapple tart....

Had a meal at the Fox 2 years ago and it was great. However the return visit 2 years later was far from great. We booked a table for 5 for an evening meal. Good job we did. Not that it was busy with diners but it was busy. The landlord seemed to have invited his whole family & friends and they just took the pub overs. Kids everywhere and all running riot. The parents were as bad. The noise was terrible. You couldn't even hear the champions league final which was on in the next room. The landlord seemed to do everything and completely lost his way with the tickets. Over an hour for the food, and we are talking things with chips so not rocked science! They even served a noisy bunch on the next table first when we had come in before them!!! Food was cheap and ok when it came and he knocked some off the bill. But that is not the point! We came for a quiet meal at a country pub whilst on holiday. The signs at the beginning were not great. Ages to get a drink over his mates. Staff were up and down feeding their kids in the lounge which was a mess with bags and toys. He forgot what I had ordered. Tickets all over the place. They didnt even know how to work the TV. I had to do this myself. The lad has a lot of work to do!

A warm welcome awaits you at The Fox Inn - well that's what the sign says , but in reality it's quite a different scenario . We used to frequent this pub a lot in the past especially when Sid and Katy had it then over the years it has changed hands and the results have been variable but none quite as bad as now . We arrived on a cold night to find a very mediocre burning in the grate and no heating on at all !!! The story was that the heating oil had frozen-- if this was the case then why not deploy a few electric heaters ??? Anyway there was worse to come - no real ale and no red wine !!! Yes can you believe it a pub with no red wine ? Had the pub been very busy ? No only about 6 locals huddled round the fire and none of them drinking red wine . Just what are they playing at . I think it's definitely time to say Gavin and Michelle you are the weakest links GOODBYE !!!
