The Fox Inn in Epping Forest - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely place, clean and well laid out. With a warm friendly welcome. Food was unreal! Would recommend and go again! 🦊💚

What a lovely place to stay. We were visiting relatives and came across The Fox Inn. The hosts were very welcoming and the staff were friendly . We decided to have an evening meal and it didn’t disappoint. The breakfast was wonderful. Lovely location and although the owners only took over in May it was great to see the changes they have made already. The room we stayed in was spacious and had everything we needed and we would definitely stay again

Stopped off at the Fox for lunch and refreshments during a walk through the beautiful local countryside. The pub has been refurbished but retains a decent charm. Plentiful outside seating in an idyllic setting perfect for a summer’s day. Good quality fish and chips was enjoyed, and my friend rated the halloumi burger. Decent and efficient service from the staff.

The joy of a high quality farmers' market as we left. Beer excellent. Bed mattress a little uncomfortable.

Smashing Pub attached to a small Hotel - with a great & varied menu. Sunday roasts were well presented, generous portions & tasty! Service was great. Everything was done with a smile & friendly local banter that made the visit a pleasure. We really enjoyed eating in the outside garden space today while the weather was so good. Well worth visiting & taking the opportunity to walk around this lovely little 400 year old village.

The Fox Inn is a lovely pub that also has separate accommodation to the rear of the premises in the form of wooden “chalet” type buildings. We stayed there for our nephews wedding at Down Hall, we stayed two nights, as did 7 other members of our family. The rooms are modern and very comfortable. Queen size bed which was very comfortable, bathroom, very clean as were the towels and in the family room, a pull out sofa. We also had THE smallest TV which was frustrating when relaxing and trying to watching the Olympics between drinks, meals and walks, but no big deal. The owners are new and were very friendly as were the rest of the staff. We had lunch snacks which were lovely and were generous portions. The beer garden was really nice and relaxing. It was a beautiful, sunny hot day, so atmosphere was perfect. The evening meal was really nice, i had steak pie and my only moan was that the pastry was puff which broke up into nothing so was like eating air, would have preferred short crust but thats a personal preference. The meat inside was delicious as was the gravy! Everything about our stay was lovely with a few exceptions. Firstly, no one seemed to be expecting us for breakfast at 8.30am. Due to the wedding, we were on a time frame but breakfast ended up taking over an hour and half as only one member of staff was on duty for some of the time we were there so we were pressed for time for getting ready once finished. The price of the orange juice was crazy, £2.70 for a small glass.Most places now do re fill coffee and tea and it would be a good idea for the Fox to think about that as, by the time you get your breakfast your coffee is either cold or already drunk. On the first morning i ordered the Pancakes but they were tasteless and, not hard but very firm, i couldn’t eat them and to try and get something else would have made us even later, so i left it. The main confusion and annoyance for all of us was the “breakfast included” which was suppose to be a Porridge Pot, Muffin and i think a drink but it had been discontinued by the new owners without telling guests. When we booked and then two days before we stayed we had confirmation stating the included breakfast. The breakfast times etc also differ from the confirmation email, so the new owners need to delete and update the website and their emails. It’s usually the small things that annoy people and these can be rectified easily. I would recommend The Fox Inn as a lovely place to stay. The area is lovely with lots to do x

You know what is like when your wife throws your old favourite jumper away and buys you a new one, the new one is very nice but it doesn't quite feel the same. Well that was how I felt after visiting the Fox. The pub is under new management and has been completely refurbished and a good job they have made of it as well but for me it is little too clinical. Much remains the same and the menu has been refreshed but still similar. The food was good but I felt the quantities have been parred back slightly. A good range of beers and wines available. Not sure I would just pop in for a pint but as a restaurant I would give it another go. I hope the new landlord will be given a chance here as too many independent pubs have been closed. If you are an old customer please give try it again. If you have never been before its is worth a visit.

I was a regular for years with the previous owners, so decided to try it with the new ones. The food was very good, ample size portions, and service was attentive. What disappointed me was the lack of atmosphere . Previously, it was a typical old pub, with furnishings in that style, and with many ornaments around the place. Now , with all the walls painted white and the chairs changed for new ones, it seems very clinical and definitely not cosy. Personally, I wont be returning, but only because of the lack of feeling. It’s a pity, but if atmosphere isnt so important to others, then I can recommend the food. Prices have increased condiderably in line with other places, but I’d still say the food was worth it.

Excellent Sunday roast with generous portions , great value for money. Very attentive staff. Would definitely recommend coming here

Amazing location, food and service.

What a great job on the refit, the garden is lovely. However , we ordered 2 ploughman, easy English classic, the dockers wife that came out shouting 51, for the food order, we did say we was not given a number, she made a point of saying the numbers on the table, 76..... The bread was lovely, the ham had that green stain to it, the cheese was sweatly the coleslaw was cheap and nasty. To top it off I ask for diet coke, not because I am on a diet but I have diabetes, it was normal coke, my bloods are now 26 and I am feeling sick. We did ask the man was I diet, oh yes. No it was not. I only had a little coke and then ordered bottles of diet coke. Its shame about your customer service a d food. Looks like it will be the Chequers next time, it bay be more but then you pay for good food and service

Very handy for Stansted airport for my early flight. Twin bed was small and 'short'. Continental style breakfast provided in room which was much appreciated but if you have time, a full breakfast was available at an extra cost.

I went there with another family member and had a lovely lunch. The place itself is well looked after. The staff make you feel welcomed and the atmosphere is relaxing. We certainly will recommend it.

Bit tired, but staff were good. Usual pub grub.

Popped in for a wonderful Sunday lunch this weekend - food was all delicious, and the staff had just the right balance of humour and banter, but whilst staying professional and friendly. It is a bit in the middle of nowhere, but we will definitely be back in summer!!

Great beers Excellent service Nice food

Had a lovely meal last night for my 30th Birthday. But was disappointed that before we even ordered they gave us a list of food that wasn't available. This is meant to be a well known pub for decent meals, so it should have had everything available. Considering that I had booked this about 5-6 weeks ago, and wanted to try somewhere different. This was not exceptable. Overall the meals came out hot and was enjoyable.

Beautiful country pub/restaurant. Sonia and the team offer great friendly service and the food is outstanding!

Prices are a bit steep, 2 burgers and one draft beer+2coke = £42

Had a great roast at The Fox today! First timers & would highly recommend. No expert, but I know good food/quality when it comes, couldn't fault it in any way, tasty, good sized portion & everything one would expect from a decent roast dinner. As Arnie would say 'I'll be back' 😆

Stayed in this pub that also had accommodation, the staff were very friendly, and very helpful when needed, would definitely recommend this place to stay, as rooms are very clean, tea coffee was topped up on a daily basis, and lovely outside space

We had a really good roast - plenty of meat and very tasty. Pub grub at its best. Highly recommended

Stayed for 2 nights in June when in the area. We really enjoyed our evening meal in the pub, but were slightly disappointed with the chalet accommodation, which appeared fairly basic for the price. Bathroom was fine but a few gripes in the bedroom such as no bedside tables nor bedside lamps. Breakfast was provided in the room but very minimal, being a carton of instant porridge, stodgy muffin and snack bar. If the review had been based on our meal in the pub alone it would have merited 4* but not including the accommodation.

Couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome lovely pub in quiet village arrived late had a couple beers and stayed in comfy spacious room. Even had a take away brekky provided which is a lovely touch. Won’t hesitate to stay again when in area.

Waited over an hour for a sunday roast, when it arrived the beef was tough, overcooked with gristle running through it, the turkey was cold, roast potatoes were hard and barely cooked, the veg was burnt. single roast carrot and a single roast parsnip were overcooked. Not worth the wait !

Stayed here in the chalet rooms behind the pub, for 2 nights. Ate dinner one night and cooked breakfast the morning afterwards. Everything was really good quality. The menu is very traditional English pub food and it is done very well. Cooked breakfast was excellent. Best of all the room was very clean and comfortable no frills accommodation with a large bathroom. Staff were were friendly and couldn't be helpful enough. Only minor grumble (well 2 actually) is that the fridge in the room has got to be the noisiest I have ever heard, and the emergency light in the middle of the room ceiling is a little on the bright side for sleeping. Anyway 2 good nights sleep were had and I would recommend this pub in the pretty little village of Matching Tye to any friend to stay for a night or 2 or a meal.

Lovely cosy tradition pub where we enjoyed three courses of deliciously served food. The cheesecake was home made and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for great quality meal out .

We had lunch here as planning to stay in a few weeks time so went there to view and eat . Pleased we did as food and drink all good and accommodation looks ideal as well. Staff all friendly so looking forward to going back .

We have been several times for sunday lunch, and each time we have had a great experience. Food was great (Roast beef) and the service friendly and efficient. A lovely location and a fantastic country pub. Thanks to all the staff - we will be back!

Our meal took an hour to arrive. I ordered a curry and my husband a mixed grill costing £25. When I asked the reason for the delay I was met with an aggressive attitude from the barmaid saying that everything is freshly prepared hence the delay and no sign of an apology. I did wonder how it took 1 hour to cook a mixed grill which was over-cooked and dry and a Chicken Tikka Masala which was a weird mix of fruit and again dry chicken. I would have sent it back but was ravenous and didn’t want to face the wrath of the barmaid. If we didn’t go to the quiz every month I wouldn’t be going back to the Fox unfortunately as it is a lovely old pub.

Just had a lovely meal at the fox inn. friendly staff. Lovely pub and location. Lovely food, piping hot. Sausage and mash, fish and chips, steak burger and falafel and halloumi burger. All went down well. Chocolate brownies and hot crumble and custard to follow. Custard piping hot, lovely. Good, quick, friendly service. Have been before, quite a few years ago, will visit again.

Perfect place if you're looking for comfortable, clean, peaceful accommodation with great food. The room was well appointed with a large bathroom. Everything was well maintained and as well as the food being tasty, the hospitality was spot on.

We have tried quite a number of hotels etc in the Harlow are over the years and The Fox, finally, best meets our requirements.......clean, quiet, well furnished rooms with efficient air conditioning, a fridge (including bottled water and milk), plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space, well lit - natural lighting, and a bathroom with a flexible shower (not fixed) head. Food in the pub was generally of a good standard - some slight inconsistencies, but no serious issues

I took a couple of friends to the Fox last week. They had fish and chips, I had Thai curry. Fish was an optional extra at £7.50. Small portion of rice and sauce, half a tablespoon of white fish, a few green beans and mange tout. It was quite nice but the portion size would have left my 6 year old hungry! I filled up on sandwiches and chrisps when I got home. Shame, as we're local and it's the only pub within walking distance.

This is a very nice Country Pub and they do excellent food, set in lovely surroundings. The perfect place to take guests.

What an amazingly lovely afternoon spent at the Fox for Brunch and unlimited Prosecco. The Prosecco was flowing and the food was on point. Can’t wait to go back for another Brunch.

We enquired about holding a 80th birthday party for around 27 people and got a quick response back from the patrons. We contacted them with reference to menus and were delighted with choice of a two and three course meals. We also booked two rooms for the night one being an accessibility room and the other a double room. We were shown to the rooms and they are both comfy room plenty of space in the accessibility room with walk-in wet room. All rooms are supplied with tea and coffee making facilities a breakfast bag is supplied included in this is a breakfast bar, porridge and a fresh orange juice.The service for the meal was well organised, all that attended the party said the food was great. The only downside WiFi a bit slow, other than that a great stay.

We are frequent visitors to The Fox and always have a lovely meal.Today was such a special day as it is my dads 90th birthday. He chose The Fox for his birthday meal.I took a balloon for the table and the waitress asked whose birthday. I explained it was my dad.All the staff were so attentive to my dad and even though he hadn’t ordered a dessert the 3 waitresses brought out ice cream with a candle on it and they all sung ‘Happy Birthday’ dad felt so special and we all appreciated this lovely touch. Must mention the food. Superb as always. Dad had liver and bacon and said the onion gravy was magnificent. I had chicken curry and mum had sausage and mash To be honest you can’t go wrong with any of the food choices. Add to this the lovely staff - why go anywhere else.

Having recently retired from Pub/Restaurant life I visited The Fox on Friday with a bunch of friends. What a lovely Pub !! Great staff, excellent food, very nice owners. Lot’s of good beers on tap and nothing too much trouble. Many thanks for giving me the job of taking hot sausage rolls around the pub for all to enjoy. The band Lady Present were excellent and we all enjoyed their special blend of music. Will definitely return and likely take advantage of you accomodation in order to enjoy the beers on offer more fully.All in all a most enjoyable evening ! The Steak & Ale pie was superb.Thanks to all and hope to return soon PB

We stayed here for the annual beer festival & was not disappointed.Rooms are spotless-beds super comfy for s good nights sleep. Full English breakfast was appreciated after the fab night!I’m not a beer drinker but so much choice - & entertainment was great. A little gem - highly recommended!

So I’ve been working close to the pub for nearly two weeks now and have had breakfast sandwiches most day’s (bacon & sausage), firstly let me say that I have never eaten a taster sausage sandwich and the bacon was cooked exactly how it should be.We have just been in for a lunch today as we missed our sandwiches this morning and again fantastically well treated, staff are all so friendly and polite.I had the mushrooms for starters (perfectly done with a tasty little side salad) and cheese burger and chips which I’m still stuffed from and was lovely.All in all this is a pub that I believe is over 300 years old and has so much creator it’s amazing, if your looking for a nice meal with some lovely people please book up you won’t be disappointed.I will be completing my works at the end of the week and will be sad to not be working near but defiantly coming for a Sunday roast Thanks guys

A few of us had dinner there the food was very average nothing to talk about but the service was terrible some meals come up and then had to wait for the rest of the party to get there's .Will not hurry back I think they need more staff and a second cook as it was very poor

A large group of us took most of the rooms for the weekend to attend a wedding at nearby Blakehall.We couldn't fault it, it was perfect for what we wanted. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the meals and breakfasts were excellent. All of the staff were super helpful.Highly recommend .

My wife and I took our two grandsons for lunch last Monday and despite ordering four different meals as we did last time we were here, they all arrived freshly cooked within 30 minutes.The food is very reasonably priced and you receive good portions of fresh cooked "proper food", (just as a good pub should do, unlike some others who charge the earth for "pretty food"). The service is always excellent and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely pub to anyone.

Having lived in Harlow for 10 years when we came back for a weekend to catch-up with friends, we stayed here. Only a few miles outside of Harlow it is tranquil and you really do feel like you are deep in the heart of the country. This place was always popular so we knew to book a table for meals well in advance.Our room was great. Plenty of room and had a fridge and air con. WiFi was OK but we suspect some of the connectivity issues we had were down to a recent cable theft in the village. A “ breakfast bag” was provided in the room with porridge pots, muffins, snack bars, orange juice and fresh milk- a really thoughtful extra touch that marks this out as a good place to stay. You can have full breakfast in the pub pre booked the night before.We had all our meals here and loved the food. Top notch pub grub, beautifully cooked and probably over generous portions. All served by really friendly staff.Couldn’t fault it in any way

We arrived an hour early for our booking and felt lucky to be told our table was already prepared for us if we would like to sit there. Result, we thought, unfortunately it took 25 minutes before getting menus, and this was after me going to the bar to remind them we were still waiting. We ordered our roasts but these took a further 40 minutes to arrive. Apart from this though the food was plentiful and very nice. Admittedly they did have a large group of people in the back room which appeared to be taking the attention of all the staff at the expense of other diners getting agitated at the extremely long waiting times. We did consider beforehand that we may order desserts, but decided against it due to the time our meal took to arrive. Would we go again, sadly not, which is a shame because the pub itself is lovely and the staff are friendly and courteous.

Had a fantastic lunch at the Fox Inn. Service rather slow, not from the waitress but the kitchen took a long time to prepare the food even though it was a quiet day, but it was a very good meal and great value for money. I had the beef and ale pie, pastry could have been thicker but never had so much meat in a pie before. It was really tasty, tender and full of flavour. Our other meals were liver and bacon, ham and eggs and grilled chicken breast. All parties said their food was very good. If the service from the kitchen had been quicker I would have rated this 5-star but I would definately highly recommend this pub.

Having lived in and around the area for the best part of six decades the question must be why was this my first visit to the Fox Inn?

Waited an age to be served a drink. Then called “darling” every second word. Bar staff spent more time chatting than assisting. Meal was fine (only fine not great) when it eventually arrived.

It's been a while since we've been back here & the food & service has remained the same, EXCELLENT.

What a find, shame I have to share it with you all, great food, friendly staff, a real gem will bring friends alone soon, will visit again soon.

We love this place and go out of our way to have Sunday lunch there on our way home from Norwich. The food is freshly cooked and plentiful - really flavoursome. The staff are lovely and extremely helpful/friendly and the place has a lovely warm atmosphere. It is the type of place you could easily wittle away the whole afternoon. The pub welcomes dogs which is a great bonus for us as we have two large Poodles. We have been several times now on a Sunday and not yet disappointed. Worth a visit.

A menu that ‘satisfies’ a hungry stomach intent on savouring good old pub staples... Nothing posh and a nod to old fashioned favourites. Well cooked and tasty. Friendly and proactive service...in an environment that is ‘local’ and with more than a hint of character.

We enjoyed celebrating a birthday at The Fox last month. We appreciated the welcoming atmosphere good beer and pub food.

A family meal out, good food, good service and excellent beer, what more could you ask for.There is a good choice of items on the menu as well as a specials board. 3 good beers on tap

I had a delicious wild mushroom risotto and a plum tart and coffee for £8.95. We liked the flavour of the pie but would have preferred it to be a piece cut from a pie and not top and bottomed with the filling.Very friendly service and we will return.

Ate at the pub great tasting food. The menu offers a wide range of pub food and the quality is great. The service was excellent. The staff very friendly.

This is such a lovely, friendly pub and the staff are always so welcoming and friendly. Food is decent pub grub but the people in there really make it. We enjoyed pie and chips, plus sticky toffee pud. It isn't gourmet but is fresh, well cooked, tasty and without a doubt we would return. Very dog friendly too!

I ate at the Fox in mid November 2018 on a Saturday having booked through a web-based service.

Stayed at the Fox for four nights whilst working nearby.Good home cooked food,clean,comfortable accommodation in their courtyard hotel,well kept selection of real ales and very competitively priced.Staff friendly and helpful.

Stayed 1 night following a wedding at nearby Blake Hall - very friendly, rooms spacious and had everything needed for a 1 night stay. FEB was excellent - freshly cooked and clearly local ingredients. Menu for lunch and dinner looked very good.

A beautiful Olde Worlde pub with plenty of parking space. Very friendly staff who were also very attentive. Food is excellent. I have been three times recently and had a different dish each time and all were delicious

Very good pub food in an old country pub with plenty of oak beams. The service was friendly and good and all at a reasonable price.

This as always one of top places to visit when out for A drive or bike ride amazing food and we'll looked after ales

We were staying near by and had booked a table for 4 but more people wanted to come with us so there was 10 in total the staff were very helpful and accomadating and managed to swap tables around to fit us all in the selection of beers on offer were exceptional. The orders were taken swiftly .but we had a bit of a wait for the food to arrive but the pub was busy and ours was a big order. When the food arrive the portions were big. The food itself was great very tasty and you could tell,freshly cooked and not bought in.the food came all at one time so no one waited to be eating .very impressed.i would thoroughly recommend this pub great food good prices fantastic staff.

Visited on A hot sunny day to enjoy a cold drink in the garden and a spot of lunch.

My first visit to the Fox. Its lovely inside, and I went there with friends. The menu is a classic pub menu, with lots of choice for everyone. I ordered the Chicken Curry which came with rice and a poppadum. The curry was lovely, very tasty but I thought the amount of Chicken curry that was on my plate was quite small and disappointing. The deserts were lovely, as was the real ales. I also noticed that when the meals were given to us, the plates were nearly dropped onto our table in front of us. I know that the staff had obviously been very busy but it really was noticeable by all of us!.....

Went for a drink and a meal during the Belgium v Japan match after work. The pub area was a typical low ceiling, sticky carpet affair with a medium sized garden area. We had steak at £20 served with chips and onion rings and £15 for fish and chips and mushy peas. It filled up the tummy as they say but nothing much to talk about. Is it value for money? I think not.

This is a lovely place to stay, the rooms are all in a modern block behind the main pub and the rooms are very nice and modern. My room had a large workspace area and a fridge and an AC unit. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom very spacious with plenty of hot water. The fridge contains fresh milk, orange an water but has plenty of room for anything you want to add. The WIFI is very good and I was able to work and listen to music at the same time.

This is one of th best hotels I have ever stayed in, the staff are friendly & the food is divine! Stayed here twice on business and had room 2 both times.. the room has everything you need including a blueberry muffin!

Nice atmosphere and very filling food. Nice oldey worldly pub in Matching Tye. Very welcoming and huge choice menu.

Just off the village green this is what village pubs should be like with quaint decor and good service backed up by good portions of tasty food. Well worth a visit

I have taken a lunch party a couple of times to this pub. They know how to fill their pub at lunch times with good meals at very reasonable prices. Always very welcomiing and service excellent.

After wanting a sunday lunch on the way home from Norwich, we first stopped at a pub advertised on the side of the road - one of thise 'big' sign pubs but unfortunately our two dogs were not welcome. We travelled a little further and came acrss the Fox Inn. Not only were we welcomed but also the dogs but the best was the absolutely superb Sunday lunch!! Well cooked, fresh and copious amounts! So much so our dogs enjoyed the meat which we couldnt squash in! Friendly and welcoming. Will be making it a regular on our trips home. THank you staff at Fox Inn.

Lovely lunch today, even though we arrived quite late the staff couldn't be more inviting. Free pudding...free coffee...very decent-sized portions. Can't remember the name of the draught cider but that was excellent too - not too sweet or dry. We visited here a few months ago and it was just as good as last time. Not far from Harlow. As I say, great value for money, excellent service, friendly. We will be visiting again soon!

Ho cenato in questo caratteristico pub di campagna, come da titolo ho optato per il famoso fish and chips inglese, porzioni generose e buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Visited with family for a tasty meal - friendly, prompt service at lunch time (even though a large party were being served at the same time!) Food very good and reasonably priced. Would definitely return.

We met at the The Fox Inn on Sunday this week for lunch with my sister and her husband as we do not live around Essex it was a great find on Trip Adviser last week. Great meal and service. The food was lovely and service very good. Even though there was a party in a private room service was not affected. Will use again when meeting my sister for lunch.

Went here with my partner and her friend. Been here twice before during this year and always had a nice meal. Normally nice and quiet mid-week but there was a large group, of what I would guess, were retired gentlemen on a night out. Bit noisy but that was probably not the norm for a Tuesday evening. Anyway, all in all it was a pleasant night, good service and reasonably priced.

We have been twice now for dinner, on the first occasion our table wasn't ready so was given a complimentary drink, I have to say it's not often I don't clear my plate, but I had a starter followed by the steak and ale pie, ( delicious ) but couldn't clear the plate. Only minor critisism is service was a bit slow, but it wouldn't stop us going back.

If you know that Sundays are always busy and you have a group of 16 booked in

My family and I went there on a Tuesday evening for my birthday. The food was absolutely fantastic far better than a lot of other restaurants that I have visited. The staff were very friendly and polite, everything was clean and the food was hot.

Vale la pena explorar porque la comida era excelente, a un precio muy razonable (con ofertas todo el tiempo, por ejemplo, gratis ya que teníamos - budín especialmente para pensionistas). Personal muy amable, que siempre es una ventaja. Pequeño pueblo un poco fuera del circuito turístico, pero vale la pena buscar (la zona) corroboró - N/NE Essex es tan bajo!

Un gran pub, bonito jardín de cerveza, zona preciosa. Tradicionalmente dirigido, menú es muy básico, que no es tan malo como todo el mundo tratando de mantenerse al día con las tendencias actuales, pero la calidad es muy buena, unas cenas asado patatas bueno - sándwiches abundante y ensaladas. No es demasiado caro - buenas cervezas.

He visitado este Pub varias veces he tenido que venir a la zona con regularidad en los últimos años.

What more can I add... Loverly food, surroundings and staff... Already planning our next lunch as so much to choose from, just have to return and work our way through the scrumptious menu😉

Had a mid week lunch here with my mum. Excellent portion sizes with good value for money . free dessert for pensioner's so that was nice. Looking forward to a return visit.
