Come here a few times a year for a big family gathering to the extent the owners know and recognise the whole family. Always come for the carvery and it's always exceptional. A lovely small friendly pub with a great choice of drinks behind the bar. Been coming for years and we will continue to do so

Booked for Mother’s Day carvery based on reviews and near family as I’m not local but glad we did. Five choices of meat and plenty of accompaniments. New management since July 2023 so ignore bad reviews before then! The food is traditional pub grub as it used to be, fish and chips, roast, sausage and mash, burgers etc. Honest, home cooked, tasty with good ingredients and reasonably priced. £20 for two courses. It’s not massive and it was full and the beer garden in the summer with a stream running through it looks promising. Car park at back too as lane it’s on at front is narrow. They also have a regular quiz, curry and steak nights and two course meal deal on a Thursday. Parents already planning to go back so would recommend if in area. Lovely walks too in area so would be great stop off if walking. Enjoy!

I've been going to The Fox since I was a teenager 40+ years ago so it holds a special place in my heart. Although I've now moved away from the area, it's always nice to pop in when I can. My most recent visit was typical: a great pint of well-kept ale, a delicious plate of ham, egg and chips and a lovely catch-up with the owners Steve and Alison. It's the perfect village pub if you ask me. Long may it continue!

A beautiful pub that that has a big garden . The garden contains seating,a small river and a skittle ally . The garden also has a small play park that has a fence to separate the play park and the pub garden. Inside they have photos of the local area and the seating is very good .over all i would rate the fox a 5\5

Have eaten at this pub a few times with family and relatives. We have always had a good meal . The carvery had a good selection of meats , pork, beef, chicken and lamb and also a vegetarian dish. There is also a good selection of ales and a nice cosy fireplace. Parking at the rear of the pub offers about 10-15 spaces, and there is a quaint little garden where the stream runs along the back up to the pub itself.

Absolutely shocked at the manner in which me and my family have treated. On arrival we weren’t made to feel welcome, we actually felt like we were more of an inconvenience. We were seated and then told we could go up and get our food, which was mediocre at best. We were a large group of 10 adults and 2 children so we were split over 2 tables. After eating, one tables plates were collected, deserts options were chosen and off they went completely disregarding the second table. I left it 5 minutes and asked the man behind the bar in a very polite manner if we could look at the desert menu to which he replied “we’ll get to your table when we are ready.” I was extremely shocked to have been spoken to in such a manner. I then said to him our plates haven’t even been cleared yet, he replied with the same response in an even ruder tone. As a table we had decided not eat desert. The bloke left the bar and went into kitchen, a lady (and I use this word very loosely) came out to clear the plates and asked why we didn’t want desert as it was included in the price. I calmly explained we had decided not eat desert because of the manner we had been spoken to and that we would not be paying for some of the deserts. Anyway…the lady was extremely rude, sarcastic and was even shouting at me at some points saying we were the rudest family she had ever had in her pub. She lied about a conversation she had with a member of my family the previous day and then proceeded to take away the drinks that we had not yet finished. We would never go back there, it was clear we were not welcome from the start. The food was mediocre and the customer service is absolutely diabolical!!

Went in there today to have a meal with my family for my birthday and we was late and they didn't seem very happy about us being late we apologised that we were late , so we only had the option to have a carvery and nothing else which I didn't mind as the had chicken (over cooked), lamb (very lovey), pork (chewy), beef and everything else you have for a carvery when we finished our meal only half of the table was asked for desserts and half of the table was cleaned and not the other half so one of my family members asked for a dessert menu and the man behind the bar said that they will come to us when they was ready which was came out really rude so in the end half of us didn't have desserts and we was told that we still had to pay for 2 courses when half of us didn't eat dessert and we said that the half that didn't eat dessert shouldn't pay for the dessert only for the 1 course and then the woman (cook) there started being really rude to all of so we paid and left. I DO NOT RECOMMEND GOING TO THIS PUB THEY ARE NOT VERY NICE PEOPLE STAY AWAY. Idont want to put any stars but have to

I was with some friends from India a week or so ago. We went for a walk along the White Cliffs, and then were ravenous for lunch. I had done some research, and saw that The Fox had several vegetarian options (two of us are vegetarians), which is not always the case in country pubs, though it's way better than it was 20 years ago. We had a delightful time in their beautiful garden. The food was very good. The service could not have been more friendly. Thank you for showing my friends what British hospitality used to be and still can be!

The Fox Temple Ewell avoid this place, recently moved and was our local, dad had been in on his own quite a few times for a quiet drink and sat in the garden. Rung them on Sunday to ask to reschedule our meal booking to Wednesday as it’s gonna be loud in there and my dad was worried about it hurting his ears due to his sensitivity and tinnitus! Weather said it was due to rain so I’ll thought can’t sit outside. Never have I been spoke to like that by anyone before! Her response ‘do you know how many people I’ve turned away for today’ I apologised and said it can’t be helped dad has a life changing condition and some days are worse than others, today being a bad one. Her response ‘well you didn’t just wake up today and decide that, I won’t book you in for Wednesday as you’ll probably ring up and do the same thing ’ ended up with me screaming down the phone and then her hanging up. Never felt anger like that, I had to go pace up and down the garden.

Had lunch here today, landlord rude and unhelpful when asking about where to park. Food basic (roast), only meat, peas, carrots broccoli, yorkshires very hard. Puddings small portions.

Me and my family went for the "pub quiz and curry" night last Tuesday and it was fantastic! We couldn't believe that it was only £5, the curry was delicious and they catered for vegans, and we got poppodoms and naan bread with it! the quiz was fun with lots of different rounds. We will definitely come back, hoping every Tuesday! and will pop in for more of the other evenings they have advertised. Such cute interior, really cosy and that classic old country pub feel - please don't ever modernise it inside! thanks :)

This is a nice local feel pub. They sell great pub food, served in reasonable quantity. A couple of ciders on draught that are not the usual brands. They also have a good selection of different lager as well. Certainly worth a visit if you want somewhere different, with a different choice of drinks from the norm. Don't expect anything other than good quality pub grub.

I really cannot understand these good reviews. Visited today as a family of four and the food is probably some of the poorest I have ever been served. Portions were child size, I believe the dried up mash potato was reconstituted or frozen, it was not proper mash, and the onion gravy was watery granules. At £15 this was shockingly bad value. Not what I was expecting at all going by the reviews of this country pub, very disappointed.

Dear Ben, I hope you had a wonderful holiday. Got to give feedback, as I’m very disappointed to hear that the Crown Inn doesn’t want me as a barmaid. I had an impromptu interview with Ella on Monday 4th. I loved the pub the second I walked in. I was totally enchanted by the round table/seating area with the fake grass/plants etc. Been telling my mates re this “Enchanted seating area!” How magical it was and how gorgeous your pub is. Ella asked for my availability. She asked what days I could and couldn’t do. I also told her how flexible I am and that I’m happy to work Christmas, New Year etc. No staff, mates I’ve ever worked with are happy to work BOTH those periods! No one. I have tonnes of previous experience. I have excellent references. I speak French and Spanish, which native tourists have loved! I even had my local Chinese takeaway in New Malden (for 20 years) say; “You bring in more business when you come in Lucinda!” 😊 I stopped my search for work in other pubs as I was so taken by The Crown Inn. I’ve watched your videos, read social media posts and thought you were the best pub in Kent. And incredibly loving, kind humans too. As I thought I felt that energy in the videos. (Being a medium, I’m very sensitive to others’ energy.) I’ve waited all week to hear your thoughts. And I expected an interview with yourself. But Ella’s just said I’m not needed. That was a cold thing to do to someone so keen! To leave them dangling like that for nothing. Ella should have said there and then, on Monday, that you didn’t have any vacancies. To dangle someone’s hopes for a week (Because you were on holiday) isn’t kind or compassionate. I could have been knocking on other doors and been in a job by now, which I need URGENTLY! My car is out of action with a £800 bill that needs paying. :-( I told Ella about my car on Tuesday and she only told me today, Friday 8th, that I didn't get the job, when I rang up for an update. The Burstin hired me on the spot and started me immediately, Christmas Day, so there is no excuse to leave someone dangling if you don't want them. Wishing you well. Kind regards, Lucinda
