Try the Burger. Really, Whilst it sounds a lazy choice The Fox crew nail it. Perfect service all socially distanced but remains attentative , friendly but descret. Exactly what you want from an evening meal in the pub. Thanks

Five of us came here for dinner in June. Staff were friendly and the food was EXCELLENT. It was the BEST burger I’ve ever had & I am very fussy. My daughter had a Caesar salad & said the same. Service was quick too. Cheesecake for desert also yummy. If we didn’t live 3 hours away we’d visit again.

The Fox was a perfect pub experience. Booking process was easy, they accommodated dietary requirements and the food was definitely the best we’ve had in the area. You HAVE to try their burgers!Friendly staff who really went out of their way to look after all the family especially our little girl and dog!I cannot recommend the Fox highly enough!

Burnt bun, burnt chicken ( there’s a difference between burnt and chargrilled, but I don’t think anyone told the chef ) - I had to pick off mini lumps of coal from the outer layer of my under cooked chicken. Wasted good money on bad food !

Happened upon a sign on the A12 boasting great homemade food served all day. As we’d been let down by other pubs in the area we thought we’d give them a go. Welcoming and friendly staff and a menu offering starters, nibbles and mains awaited and we weren’t disappointed. Generous portions at reasonable prices. The Fox has kitted itself out well for COVID precautions and have extended their outside seating and dining area to reflect this with both covered and open spaces. Enjoyed a grilled chicken and avocado burger with chunky chips and a homemade slaw; honey mustard sausages; halloumi fries; squid and a ploughman’s too. Highly recommend.

This establishment has worked so hard to serve the Public under very difficult conditions.The service and food is so good. There were quite a few people eating outside even in the recent actic conditions we have been experiencing.Excellent staff and Management. Very friendly establishment. Well kept beers Wines and Spirits.My only criticism is the price of the drinks on offer are very expensive compared to other establishment in the area, but worth paying if you are there for a meal as this is probably the best food led pub in the area.

We have had takeaways during Lockdown and have never been disappointed so thought we would try a visit. Rang to book very friendly and helpful, apologising for not being able to accommodate us in the covered area but said if that changed they would slot us in. Arrived and shown to a table with a huge umbrella so could easily shelter from any rain. The weather was on our side though. Amazing food, friendly helpful knowledgeable staff. The lady who served our table was so lovely with our fidgety 6 year old taking time to talk to her which helped us feel relaxed. Enjoyed our first evening out in as long as we could remember and will definitely be back.

There are outside seating and also a marquee with heating. The staff are really friendly and professional and make you feel so welcome.

We collected 4 amazing Mothers Day roasts from here yesterday. It was so nice for a local pub to be offering a set menu for mothers day.We all had roast beef and it was cooked lovely. The honeycomb cheesecake was mouth watering!!Having a meal from a local pub made Mothers Day feel special, which could of been hard to achieve when in a lockdown.We will be returning as we have been recommended to try their burgers. They certainly look good!Thank you for offering a food service whilst in a lockdown, we all definitely appreciated it :)

We booked for a family of 4 in half term. We turned up an hour early (on the off-chance) as it was on our way back - whilst our table wasn't ready, the staff found somewhere for us to grab a drink, and managed to get us seated early.The food was decent - couple of blemishes - mash not great, and burger buns burnt, but the leek and potato soup was excellent, as was the fish and chips - overall the food was decent quality and good value, and the service was welcoming and friendly.

Lovley place and food really good staff and owners very welcomeing although Manager can be a little cold at times.This place has become very popular due to its food and warm welcome, well from most anyway. Obviously Pubs these Days as we all could never survive these Days on Wet Sales and this must be appreciated. However when you go in to a pub especially early doors and enjoying a very well kept point and have to move two or three times to accommodate dinners, you do feel uncomfortable and that perhaps you should not be there. Unfortunately with the winter being here you don't have the option to sit outside and with the limited space inside this establishment and the well deserved reputation for thier food, things can only get worse for the customer that just wants a quite beer without being moved from table to table evey few minuets, worth a visit for the odd beer, but be warned!!

Had the fish and chips. A whopper of a haddock is placed in front of me. To die for. Must have been caught a minute before, so fresh, flakey, moist. I thought... “how can this get better” ... then I had a chip. The chip would’ve brought a tear to Heston Blumenthal’s eye. Triple cooked chips, more like quadruple cooked chips... and to perfection too. Then I had a bit of chip, a bit of fish, a bit of mushy pea and a bit of tartare sauce on one fork. GAME CHANGER.

My earlier review of this pub seems to have dissappeared so here goes again. We had booked a table for 8pm on a very wet evening. Firstly, my beer was "off". This was exchanged but then the food arrived. My wife had the house special, a rump steak (£20) and I had fish and chips. The steak had to returned to the kitchen as it wasn't cooked to our liking and the fish and chips were very greasyand looked like they had been reheated , certainly not freshly cooked. We should have left then but it was getting late and pouring with rain and we were hungry. We ate what we could and was offered one free desert as compensation. We can't understand how this pub had so many good reviews and even more surprised to find our review was not published.

On our 2nd and final night in Suffolk, we had so many pubs to choose from for a meal, and as it happens, we only ended up visiting here because it was the first one to answer the phone from the shortlisted restaurants we came up with. Luck was on our side for sure. The pub itself is a lovely quaint building with really nice decor. The staff were all polite and attentive (mainly the young chap), and the food came out in good time. The menu felt a bit different to other places somehow with perhaps a little less choice than other place too, BUT there was still enough to keep us happy and pick something. Without detailing all of the dishes we had, the food was delicious the portions were spot on -neither too big or too small. I had the beef burger and it was sublime. Really well constructed. Was lovely to see it so busy and it really added to the atmosphere. Thanks so much for a great evening!!

Fantastic pub, New owners took over in June, although you wouldn't notice. I don't know if the Current Management have been in this line of business before, but they certainly know what they are doing.Even during these very uncertain times they have managed to turn this lovely village Establishment around. No Mean Feat during these times.All running very smoothly although behind the scene's the team probably would not agree, but as professionals they are certainly not letting that show!! I was in the licensing trade for 18 years, now retired. I have also lived in this area for for the same number of years. I have seen good licensees come and go and many close down, i hope this will not happen to the Fox and its New Team.If you want to see how a good Village Pub is successfully run and operated, you need look no further. Food excellent, Beer top very good and well kept, CAMRAMEMBERS please note!The Fox has very quickly become my first choice when it comes to spending my money on beer etc and having had my first meal there with my wife it will no doubt be our regular place to eat. Service and the whole team, cant do enough for the customer.I am currently writing a book about the industry on how it has changed over the years the effect of Big Breweries on the small individual operation.

This is not an a la carte menu - this is very simple pub grub, mostly executed really well. The thing that makes the Fox such a great place to visit is the staff. From a wonderful initial welcome through to the check back and general friendliness and obvious cleaning procedures in the wake of COVID19, this little free house is working flat out to deliver the best experience they can right now. Very enjoyable, look forward to returning and definitely one to put on your ‘must visit’ list for a chilled out burger and a couple of beers. Thanks, Fox!

Dropped by as we saw the signpost off the A12. We ordered fish and chips and the chicken / bacon brioche. My partner queried the price when he paid due to the current drop in vat but was told there isn't any price reduction. No vat receipt was offered. Food arrived and the landlady came to check all ok, I queried the vat issue and she said (quite rudely) that he was under no obligation to pass the savings on to customers. We're on a day out so I don't really want a debate in the pub garden. They don't HAVE to pass on the savings but isn't it a pity to take that attitude when we are all trying to support the local businesses AND get people back out as customers. My brioche bun was burnt, as was the bacon and our triple cooked chips had seen way more than 3 rounds in the fryer I think. Perhaps they were just having a bad day but we wouldn't recommend or return.

Very pleased with an evening meal, having booked a few hours earlier from a nearby B&B.Small, cosy very traditional pub, landlady running the bar, and we believe husband is the chef? Our meal was excellent value, good quaily food, and presented with care, which showed. Could have been home cooked (by someone who can cook, not reheat!)The menu was quite varied for a small pub, again showing some thought, and the biggest problem was choosing which of the several temptations to go for! We look forward to a return visit.

Good choice on the menu. My husband had prawn cocktail followed by fish and chips. I had salt and pepper squid followed by steak and kidney pudding. Really speedy service , food was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The meal couldn’t be faulted and we would have tried their desserts but just too full ! It’s rare to find a proper pub serving such good ‘home cooked ‘ food. Well done to the team at the Fox Inn . You should be very proud.

We stayed in nearby Darsham Old Hall in May this year and had dinner at the Fox Inn on two occasions. We have also dined there in the past when on holiday in Suffolk. We really like this pub. It may be small and unpretentious but is all the better for it. It really does feel like a genuine local pub used by local people as well as holidaymakers. We have thoroughly enjoyed all our meals here. Everything we have eaten has been cooked to perfection using high quality ingredients and we have always been made to feel that our custom is genuinely appreciated. Hopefully this welcoming little pub continues to thrive for many years to come.

A small pub with a big heart. A very warm welcome from Nell and the blazing log fire on a cold night with a lazy wind. There may only be about 8 tables here but there is plenty of dining space and the food is excellent. I had my favourite steak and kidney pudding with a great selection of lively fresh vegetables and new potatoes. The white bait to start was very tasty and fresh. The ale (Adnan’s best) was beautifully kept and a great compliment to the meal. To finish I had a nice bowl of rum and raisin ice cream and passion fruit sorbet. My only observation would be that the coffee was a little strong. A tasty meal and a lovely evening. We will be back.

Passing the pretty pub and decided to pop in for food as we were travelling home after visiting family-we ended up staying the night! The triple roast dinner was excellent and the hotel rooms were clean and tidy too. We had our dog with us and he was also made very welcome! Would definitely stay again in the future.

Went for an evening meal one night and ended going back for a second time as the food was cooked and served as it should be, would recommend this as a small friendly pub.

This little pub is not part of a big chain where everything is done within company rules and decor. This is a traditional pub in a small village, no gaming machines, big screen sports or rowdy customers

This is a super little pub for good, honest home cooking! Clearly a favourite with the locals, it has a simple decor , but is dog-friendly and serves generous portions of great food. We had local pork steak in cider and steak, ale and mushroom pudding that was one of the most delicious I have ever had in a pub. It reminded me of the ones my grandmother used to make! And do find room to try the Baileys and cream cheese cake for dessert. Heaven on a plate!

Splendid Sunday roast beef lunch followed by rhubarb and blueberry crumble with cream! Quality and quantity! Good ale and friendly accommodating staff in a busy but well run restaurant pub! Will be back, hopefully!

It's a dog friendly pub/restaurant which was good for us as we had our pooch with us that day. There were quite a few choices on a blackboard menu and the restaurant was quite busy which appeared to be a good sign but we were disappointed with the main meal of sirloin steaks. The steaks were certainly not hung for a decent amount of time which would account for them being quite tough and grisly. Very poor as were the greasy onion rings. A good steak meal should be delicious with a thick steak, some interesting vegetables instead of just peas, mushrooms of a reasonable size and not tiny little things with no flavour. Sorry to have to be negative but it was so disappointing. I would rather pay more and get a decent steak. Service was very good and the young man who served us was very pleasant.

Lovely meal, friendly staff. Old style pub with lovely food. Stayed in the Garden Room and was ideal for us to have a pub next door that serves perfect food.

No atmosphere, felt like had to sit in silence with staff staring, food was average, our children wanted to leave ASAP. Staff really unwelcoming and made everyone feel uncomfortable.

Traditional pub menu but not convinced it can be described as “home cooking”. We heard the lasagne going in the microwave, and the chips had been reheated/refried. Not great quality, but a cosy pub to go to if you just need hot food and not too fussed.

Staying locally and walked to the pub for something to eat and a good drink. Places like this are being taken out by the big chains, obviously they can’t compete on price but PLEASE we need to support the local communities, don’t let these places shut down.

We had a wonderful evening here, the staff were enthusiastic and very welcoming. The menu was appealing and offered a great choice, for veggies, fish and meat eaters. A very tradditional country pub, with real ale, a great selection of wine and spirits, no wonder they are busy. Dog friendly too. The prices were very reasonable, and you felt sattisfied.

We were staying in our touring caravan nearby and decided to book a table for an evening meal. The quality of the food was excellent - the roast rump of lamb was superb - very generous portions that just melted in the mouth. We decided to make a another visit the following night and was equally rewarded with a great dish of red snapper. We can highly recommend The Fox Inn.

On holiday at high lodge round the corner, the fox is the nearest pub near there. We have used the establishment on several occasions while on holiday in the area and always been well looked after by Nel and Brian the chef. We had three meal there and as usual we're not disappointed. He certainly knows a good sirloin steak and how to cook it (perfect)

Just back from a wonderful lunch at Darsham Fox. Food was excellent delicious curry followed by an amazing chocolate torte. Nice welcome on arrival and really friendly efficient service. Located in the beautiful village the whole experience was excellent - thoroughly recommended

We visited The Fox twice whilst holidaying in Suffolk. Both times we found it closed. Upon asking a local, we were told that the owner opens as and when they feel like it. Shame as it looked quaint. I recommend the White Horse in nearby Westleton where we ate a fine meal and were warmly welcomed.

We came here for lunch last Tuesday, the first time in around 17 years since I worked in Darsham. For a small village pub the menu was very good with plenty of choice and very well priced. We decided upon the chicken,ham and leek pie with veg and boiled potato's. A very good portion, lovely pastry and plenty of filling. Just a shame we were both so full up we could not fit a puddy in after. Service was good. Menu written on a blackboard suggesting some daily changes depending on availability Would recommend.

Went there today for lunch (second time) with my wife and in laws. I have to say that the food is excellent, so tasty and far above the sort of standard that you would expect from your typical country pub. I think it's run by a husband and wife with the former doing the cooking. He's obviously a talented chef. Not a huge menu but we eat out a lot and I think he Fox is a real gem.

A real gem of a local village pub! Clearly the heart of the community but really welcoming to visitors too. Fantastic range of local beers kept to perfection. Had eaten before we went but menu looked
