The Fox Inn in Breckland

First class selection of splendid cask ale. Lovely atmosphere and charming staff. Good company and a beautiful warm environment. DEFINITELY GETS MY VOTE 🍻❤️🙏

Great pub. Traditional atmosphere and really lovely people. The food is different each week... so it's difficult to rate. So far I've had pizza, burger & Indian. The pizza & burger were exceptional; the Indian not so good.

Beautiful timber framed country pub with live bands frequenting their gorgeous gardens. Theres a huge choice of local cider and beer. A variety of food trucks regularly visit. You really feel at ease in this pub, everyone is so welcoming and chatty, theres a huge sense of community spirit, the locals reopened it and all help to look after and run it, plus its super dog friendly and theres even a pool table.. big bonus!

Paella was lovely cook's were friendly

This is a community run pub and my first visit. Very reasonable prices, the interior is lovely and atmosphere welcoming. I believe it is only open from Friday to Sunday, but you would need to check.

Well kept real ale. Lovely well run village pub.

A wonderful community run pub. Passed it regularly for 10 years & never thought it would reopen. Now when I pass it see it open, it is a wonderful sight, full of customers & volunteers. I did volunteer here for the short term, until work gradually picked up, and as of last week, still a wonderful friendly & active pub. Well worth supporting

I lucked in on Saturday at Garboldisham's community pub 'The Fox', having one of the best evenings of conversation and music I have had in a long time. Run by locals on a voluntary basis, I got the chance to enjoy the truly special atmosphere The Fox offers up, both quietly over a few drinks at lunch as well as later that evening when we had to return because of the promise of the 'pretty good' band who were to be playing. Yield was that in spades, and the pub's conviviality and warmth shone through altogether differently, yet ultimately with the same result; a feeling of being welcomed, looked after and a little bit spoilt, considering that this could be seen as just another English village pub. It isn't, and I will be back.

Community run pub, which gives it a wonderful atmosphere. Good local beers on rotation and a variety of food vans on certain nights. Would highly recommend!!

Went in for social drinks, I was visiting friends in the area, first time I'd been in,it was a friendly good old school pub,no TV on,quiet music,and all you could hear was conversations from different groups of people in the pub,we need more pubs like this, I didn't have food as it was the evening,there was a Thai/Chinese food trailer in the car park,was very popular with the locals,I wasn't hungry so didn't try it,but from looking at what people bought it looked nice ,and plenty regulars bought meals,so I'm guessing it's nice food,if your in the area it's a must to pop in

Love this Norfolk community pub

This in my opinion is one of the very best community pubs I have ever visited and always go back when visiting family in nearby Diss. Very friendly staff, very reasonable prices and always keeps good beer and ciders. Although no daily menu is available (no on site catering) food is often available on selected published evenings (off-site caterers attend) and a lovely Sunday lunch is also available on selected dates through the year (again off-site caterers) This pub has an excellent atmosphere, and is very often busy when they have a "theme" night or at Christmastime - we love it. Check out their face book page for information on events and what beers they have on tap - which is ever changing as they are a free house.

Lovely ambiance, 3 drinks 2 alcoholic for just over a tenner. Serves food generally on a Saturday but we did not partake today.

Lovely pub. Staff are lovely. A good old English pub and good value. Excellent coffee mornings. Sweets for sale as well! Literally everything you need

Went to local beer festival. Good beer, lovely cider and lovely friendly locals. So good to see a community pub doing so well.

What a lovely village pub.. beer well look after, ciders amazing. Staff so warm and friendly. The customers as well!! Will be back... can't wait for the beer festival at the end of the month..👍👍

Ultra friendly and dog friendly pub. Absolute ale heaven. Absolutely love this community run pub.

Dropped in for a beer. Lovely pub. Really cosy and a warm atmosphere. Friendly staff , and a great pint of Broadside on draught. 100% recommendation from me. Thank-you so much.

Lovely community pub, great atmosphere, good food.

Very pleasant atmosphere great beers selection excellent ciders local community owned and run. Still a very welcoming pub lovely atmosphere 😀 👌

Community owned pub, nice atmosphere and friendly volunteer staff

Brilliant community pub Open for Boxing day and serving a good selection of ales and the rest. Warm, cosy and comfortable. Really well done!

It was a Random pub for Christmas Eve. We could not have picked a more welcoming pub. Great beer. Friendly staff & local. Already planning a time to revisit.

What a lovely pub, the bar staff and locals are so friendly. Plenty of seating room and a lovely atmosphere. I will certainly call in again.

Great service. Simple pub food, Just like a pub should be.

Best thing about pub is friendly faces behind bar and variety of drinks, beers and ciders on offer. However seats uncomfortable if your having a meal and not much space to move around those seats to get around table as other tables close by. Also could hear everyones conversation so perhaps some background music would help this. We had Sunday lunch provided by the Field Kitchen an outside catering company and at £15.25 was disappointed by the temperature of the food and therefore some food items reflected this (the roast potatoes were not crispy) There was more slow roasted beef than topside on my plate and the pork belly again did not have the fat crispy so no crackling. It reminded me of how my grandmother would cook it not much seasoning in the gravy more flour based and no wine. I did however enjoy the butternut squash and parsnip puree, cauliflower cheese, yorkshire pudding and unusual stuffing with feta, leek, prune and sage. We looked at the desserts at £6 each that came to another table but it didnt excite us, perhaps some garnish with the chocolate torte instead of just cream i.e. some berries and the portions looked quite small (we were not sure if these were homemade or shop brought as it is not mentioned on their menu?) Also I did not rate the paper cartons for the apple, mustard and horseradish sauce as I am actually sitting down at a table with a knife and fork and paying those prices rather than at a food festival setting.

Have always loved this place hadn't been since before covid so we went gor a drink and a curry...its looking amazing, lots of work done since last visit, will certainly be going back

Great to be back in a favourite pub. Lovely people everywhere. Thank you.❤️

Great atmosphere lovely little local pub with a helpful and friendly staff

Great night.our first time to the Fox but won't be out last.

Nice pub with a good choice of beers. There is also a large beer garden.

Great little pub, run by the community.

Great locally run pub. The beers are always fresh and usually local, and the food they put on is always lovely

A pub from my youth which I had not visited since the 1990s, I had the pleasure of rediscovering on a recent trip back to my home county of Norfolk. Warm, welcoming and beautifully refurbished, with fireplaces crackling, a fine selection of real ales from among the best independent brewers locally and across the East of England, community run, it's a must-see if you're in the area or passing on the A1066.

Went for a wake.. lovelybpub with a lovely atmosphere. Staff were friendly. Would recommend

absolutly amazing village pub, community run, with a warm wlecome. Beers are varied and 1st class, a lovely place to frequent on a lazy day off.....

Friendly staff, amazing Sunday roast

Lovely place to have a drink, the Beer festival is second to none.

Just had the one as we were passing. Lovely beer garden where dogs are welcome. Landlord is friendly and helpful. They sell a decent wine and don't charge the earth. Well worth a visit

Lovely teas and great homemade cakes. That are similar to the ones that can be had in Devon.

This is one of the best pubs in the area. We have been lucky to watch it grow from a derelict building to the welcoming pub it is now, and hope to see it continue to flourish. Beer is well kept. And there is always a great selection from local breweries. Staff are charming and hard working. Pop-up food is a brilliant addition. The welcome you get here, even if you are not local ( and we aren't) is unsurpassable. Check out the opening hours and special events, it's a gem not to be missed.

Always so happy when pubs get a new lease of life, and this is exactly what has happened here! A team of dedicated community volunteers run a fantastic pub here, with well kept local ale, and visiting food stalls throughout the year. Service was quick, staff very welcoming, pet friendly too! Will come back again.

Community run pub, great service, lovely to sit inside or outside. Plenty of parking. Street food served sometimes.

Really nice place friendly staff.

This is a truly great pub and for real ale lovers you won’t be disappointed. I have been to 100’s of pubs across the country and the beer in this pub is as good as any pub I have ever been into. Everyone is really friendly and there is a lovely dog friendly beer garden. On Saturdays they do a variety of street food as well. A beer lovers paradise with ever changing local ales.

What a fantastic pub. The garden is huge and beautifully laid out. Lots of room so easy for us with out dogs. Super friendly staff and patrons. We'll be going back.

We stopped off for a well deserved pint one Saturday afternoon. It was my first visit but my partner had been before. The ale was excellent. The garden is lovely and the tables are well spaced. Good for social distancing and when your lockdown dog is still learning how to behave at the pub. The staff were friendly and I was amazed to learn how hard the locals have worked to keep the pub. Community spirit is alive and well at The Fox and I look forward to visiting again soon.

Lovely country pub with weekend street food , open fires which was a warm welcome on a cold May evening!! , professionally run by volunteers of the community very friendly

Still limited by current restrictions but this community owned pub has made great efforts to provide outdoor covered areas and still serves great beers.

Lovely pub nice garden hog roast baps where very nice people were very friendly when ordering drinks

We came here for a Sunday roast a couple of weeks ago while in the area for a weekend and were very glad we did. The food was excellent, and the service was great.

My friend and l live 45 miles away from each other. The Fox is about half way, so that's where we met for lunch. Good food. Good beer. Friendly and efficient people running the place. Safe 'COVID' systems in place. So, I have no doubt we'll be repeating the experience.

Great community pub doing a grand job under Covid 19 regulations. Good street food on Saturdays.

Friendly and good food. Humane prices.

Fabulous local community run pub with a great selection guess ales

Fantastic pub, friendly, good prices, doing their best during this awful time.

Great community pub.... so glad it is open and welcoming ;)

Carvery is misleading as you don't serve yourself. Choice of 3 veg - carrot mash, leek in sauce and peas. Limited to 2 small roast potatoes. Meat was ok. Small portion and will be honest and say wasn't worth £11.75 nor was the pudding at £3.75. Do appreciate it's a community run pub which is lovely however this can't be used as an excuse for charging high prices for child size portions.

Great locally run pub, with a friendly atmosphere.

Lovely little pub great classic atmosphere and the building has amazing history would 100% rec

Community run great service and different beers. A super day out.

A great welcome and good beer, as ever!

Really great place and really friendly people would recommend if you are looking for nice freindly pub

Fantastic beer festival! Floydy'n'Slips stopped by and had a brew.

A great pub, great beers and ciders. The staff go the extra mile to make your visit a pleasure. Will be back again when next in the area and will recommend to our friends.

A wonderful little pub run by the community. What a great effort they are making. We'll done!

Great to see the Fox flourishing after 10 years of decay with great ales, bites, street food and lovely new developments each time we visit. I love the Fox and atmosphere but please please retain that welcoming feel. Some "locals" look down on others not from the village, please please don't let this continue as you will drive away passers by and those from nearby villages who love it and only want it to thrive.

Amazing transformation of a country pub. This pub has been taken over by the community. It is gradually being renovated. The bar is run by volunteers and it has a great range of local beers as well as several ciders. Occasional special events and regular themed food evenings.

Hadn't been for a while they've refurbished the dining area with the addition of a lovely log burner. Bar staff as usual very friendly and helpful. We went for the pop up carvery and although the food was tasty the portions were child size wouldn't bother again which is a shame. Will use The Fox for drinks though.

Well impressed with my first visit here, looking forward to the next time, food and service excellent

Lovely welcoming pub with Street Food on a Saturday

Great Pub, Owned and Run by the Village

Having seen the publicity about the community owned pub, we decided to call in for a drink. Rarely have I felt so welcome at a pub. The staff were brilliant and on the bar was a choice of 5 beers, four of which I reckon were from the best four local breweries in Norfolk/Suffolk. There was draught cider and Simnel Cake for Easter. It is clear that the pub is at the heart of the community and it was a pity we were there at lunchtime and not evening when Lebanese street food was on offer. A tremendous village local.

Friendly staff great street food!! Highly recommend to anyone.

Great to see it doing well , drinks priced to sell , décor definitely getting there ! A pub with a future !!

We all love the fox pub since the village have taken it over! The pub come alive once more and is still work in progress. It is very clear that it has given the village a new lease of life and has become united once again. It has a great atmosphere, everyone is happy and definitely worth a visit, with a large range of Ale, and beer. All the achievements to date have been done is by hard working volunteers who give up their time to renovate, and work in the pub. At present they do not serve in-house food but at weekends local pop up cuisine is set up outside and can be eaten along with a beverage inside. This changes weekly so look out for the signs on what is on offer!

My wife and I are local to the Fox and have been there many times, we have watched it grow from being closed and falling down to last night having a pub full of happy, chatting, drinking and eating customers that many of the pubs in the local area would be happy to have on a sat night. The range of cask ale is always varied and the team look after the beer really well and quality is always excellent. One thing that has been a real hit is the pop up food offering on Sat nights. What a fantastic idea, Pizza, Souvlaki, Thai, Pies, Paella to name but a few. If other local pubs tried this hard to keep their customers coming back with variety and quality maybe we wouldn't see the decline we have over the last few years. Cheers to the Fox and the team that work so bloody hard to keep it real.

Very friendly and helpful service. Lovely local atmosphere.

Great night, fun place best pizza I've ever tasted.

Firstly let’s just congratulate the efforts of all involved bringing this pub back from the unfortunate demise and years of neglect. Well done and may it continue, I’m sure it will and the public will be the say of that by repeat calling and support in return for the service and pleasant atmosphere. While I can see the infrastructure being developed it’s a long way off being a cosy pub yet however always warm at the moment with well stocked fires ....simple things like a pork pie work well if you aren’t vegetarian, which I’m not and goes well with a real ale. Talking of ale it all seems good and a nice selection. Now hear lies the issue,,, I’m tired with having to sit around a number of people discussing their interest in the shares and who dose what and who should do this and that . The place seems to attract people who have an interest that seem to want tell everyone loudly about how it should be run, all well and good having volunteers but every time you go in known one seems to know how the cash register works as it’s been changed , then people rush around not knowing we’re anything is on a shelf , running a bar is not as simple as an outside bar at the church fate, trust me you need regular faces behind a bar who can have the time to chat about everything from cricket to daily life and pass the time of day , not thank you here’s your beer . The contact with staff behind a bar is very hard to adopt if your day job is a doctor, solicitor, farmer , builder or plumber ,,, you either have it or you don’t , next time anyone of you share holders visit an old pub ,, think about how your served , take a look at The Red Lion Kenninghall or anywhere .... you either have it or you don’t ,,,at the moment you don’t have it... you need someone with a flare for it regular,,,,,you would see a return in the till and in the foot fall... stop trying to all be the boss, One last thing how difficult is it for someone to provide soup and a roll. And please not tomato,,,,

Lovely pub, dog friendly, lovely open fire. Will be back

Opened for a family wake for us outstanding service by the volunteers we know after 12 years of being closed and vandalised it will take time and customers support and contributions to get this pub back to its original condition. Thank you Anne , Eddie and Peter.

AWFUL! WHOLE VENUE NEEDS AN OVERHAUL! TOILETS DISGUSTING. However good drink prices!

Excellent pub. Not to be missed.

Community run pub reopened a while ago after a long closure. A good job is being done of gradually reopening more and more of it. They serve good ales, and have regular food nights and events. Check first of you're traveling far because I don't think it is open every session.

This pub is gradually being renovated as a community pub and I am sure will be really lovely when it’s finished but don’t let that put you off; the beer is local and the lager is ice cold. They put on regular events and it is run by locals too. Make this a stop off, you won’t regret it

..really friendly place..Excellent well kept choice of beer..and amazing Thai food on the evening we went..very probably my new local...

Excellent beers, excellent Thai food on the night

A 'community-run' pub, so take your hat off to local people for reopening a historic building and re-establishing a community facility. The most recent annual weekend beer festival (with good music) in June/July had more than 50 beers on offer and was well attended, so I hope they made shed-loads of money to keep the place running. The building still needs serious work after being run down, closed and empty for years, so all these efforts deserve support - and it's a great place (albeit rather shabby at present) to spend some time. Go!

A very nice little local pub, ideal for all.

Slow development, but a good group effort is getting it going.

Great pub , was the 2018 beer festival this weekend lots of great ales , beers and ciders on , would highly recommend a visit .

Beerfest 2018. Nearly 50 types of beers and ciders with half pints at good prices. Three food trucks. Live music. Building still being fixed up after it was bought by the community. We'd go again.

Nice atmosphere and worth a visit. Limited opening hours as I believe village syndicate run but lots of thought & effort put into the process - deserves success.

Community Pub run by volunteers, serving local real ales Food outlets every Saturday Open Fri, Sat and Sun

This is what a 21st country pub should be like: A warm welcome; classless; truly family and dog friendly; hot and cold alcohol-free refreshments for young and old; And, of course, an imaginative range of superb local beers. A big "Thank you" to the many generous volunteers who have brought back to the village a valuable social asset.

Great little volunteer run pub with good selection of ales.

Always a friendly pub and all the volunteers make you feel welcome. Food every Saturday by outside catering vans. Dogs welcome. You can even bring your own food into pub.

A great place for local beer and locals

Great place to have a drink and socialise. Whether you are local or just popping in on your way through, it's a great place to be. Regular events and quiz nights plus dogs are welcome.... they even have beers (0%) for dogs x
