The Fox Inn in Dudley

We needed somewhere to stay for a friend's wedding and couldn't have been happier with our stay at The Fox Inn! The staff are super friendly and accommodating, the food and atmosphere were brilliant as well, big portions for decent prices. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed.

Stunning lunch, 8/09/24. The welcome is always great, we came for a light lunch, This place amazes me as It always improves, from the warm decor, who get better each time I visit! and to amazing front of house staff today, extremely professional and attentive to detail, under the eye of the owner who guide them to deliver a beautiful, friendly and professional service. We had , prawn , smoke salmon cocktail and a crevette skillet, in chili and butter starter. Well nice ! We share the main! A stunning dover sole ! Cook to perfection, extremely fresh , and respected by only a light lemon butter sauce. Magic! Can’t wait to go back !

Just celebrated our sons wedding Fantastic night was had by all. and all the staff were brilliant, but a big shout out to Dave and Izzy who were amazing and went above and beyond. Thanks to everyone. Patrick & Liz

We have just celebrated our Ruby Wedding anniversary with a party at The Fox. Vicki, Lara and rest of the staff have all been amazing; nothing has been too much trouble and our party was a joy. The food was superb and our friends all seemed to have an excellent time. Thank you all so much. If you're looking for a venue for that special or certain occasion - look no further! Only 5 minutes from A449, but in the countryside with a fabulous, family friendly beer garden to boot. Absolutely brilliant

We booked a table for 2, we could choose where we sat - bonus , starters were great, prawn cocktails, mains were Chouder and Scallops, the scallop meal was over priced for the amount of food on plate, (5 medium scallops and a small portion of chips) slightly disappointed, decided to have desserts these were lovely - raspberry cheesecake and chocolate brownie 🙂

Zero Is the only points I can give as Motorcycles are appointment only!! Do they not realise that most Bikers are now 50+ and most would spend more than most I realise it is your pub and you can let in who you want. I wonder if some teenager in a souped up Subaru doing doughnuts would need an appointment. Sorry but REALLY outdated perspective.

We walked in for quick lunch. We have been greeted by young female staff member. When we asked for menu we were rudely told ,, no walk in today,, even though place was empty, only few tables taken. We have ordered cup of tea - came half full and luke warm, cappuccino was fine. We have eaten here before and never had such a negative welcome and attitude. If today had been our first visit is likely we would not come back. Having seen recent reviews maybe we won’t, shame. Something has changed there.

The so called fillet steak was nearly inedible and scampi was still swimming in the oil it was deep fried in Miller and Carter prices but very poor standard will never go there again

Thank you so much to all at The Fox. We had the most amazing day and night. Many guests stating it was the best wedding they had ever been to - quite a statement !!. Vikki was amazing, listened to what we wanted, understood our vision and was happy to accommodate all of our requests and suggestions. Nothing was too much trouble. The poor weather became a distant memory and certainly did not spoil our special day. 🥰🤵👰‍♂️ John and Samantha Taylor

Visit recently, orders a pizza they took the money but we got no pizza. Took for ever to fire up the oven by some comedian who would be better suited on the comedy channel than attempting to cook food. When asked a few times we were talked back to quite rudely. Also didn’t seem a very hygienic person. We could not be bothered to keep asking so we left even though we had paid and had not got our money back. You should all be very proud of yourselves. Not. Never will I waste valuable time on this hole again.

Greek night, fabulous evening. A brilliant follow on from the Italian night a couple of weeks ago. Wonderful atmosphere with olive trees, twinkling lights and traditional Greek music playing. Menu choices varied, value for money excellent, food quality excellent as always. Great value for money, can’t wait for the next one! 🥰🙌🏻

Just been to this pub for a two course lunch with my husband and mother-in-law and had the worst meal we’ve had in a long time. The cream of vegetable soup was so salty and creamy it was barely edible. Then had the crab curry and was surprised to discover I was chewing on a whole crab shell!!! The whole baby crabs mixed in with the sickly tomato sauce (not curry sauce at all) was very unappetising especially as there was practically no meat at all on the crabs. After having complained politely about the curry, we received no acknowledgement and then realised we’d been overcharged for the meal! (was supposed to be £17.95 for two courses and they charged us for the starter and main separately). Left feeling slightly sick. Definitely won’t be coming back. Very disappointed.

From having read the other reviews and having both stayed overnight and eaten at the Fox Inn here’s what I’d say. You can’t please everybody, and the small faults I experienced were way outweighed by the welcoming staff, and excellent food. Idiots who ask business owners questions (like, is it locally sourced) are bad patrons and narcissists. Why are you asking people at the restaurant is it local sourced? why not check in advance? Narcissists use issues like ‘local sourced’ to virtue signal. Properly cooked veg should be ‘al dente’, so they (the veg) are crunchy. I hate shoddy reviews. I only stayed one night at the Fox Inn and it wasn’t perfect, but it’s well worth a visit, the food was very very good and the people there were truely what a visitor would want.

Disappointed Disappointing attitude towards the question “do you source produce from the local farming community” Couldn’t offer a good choice of gluten free Got the feeling they’re too good to be bothered Won’t go back until there’s a big attitude change

this lunch was nothing but a disasterous meal soup servied without bread main course sheppards pie with bread and butter accompained with under cooked broccoli and peas i will not be returning for such meals

We used this venue for an evening “Wedding Celebration”. WOW … can’t fault the events organiser Vicki . She was so helpful , friendly and went the extra mile with everything . The food , music , decor was just outstanding ! The whole team ( the whole night) were just fantastic …. It felt like an extra bunch of friends had joined us ! They were just doing their job but with such enthusiasm , helpfulness and mega smiles all round . Would advise anyone having a party to really go see this place …. Can’t thank them enough ❤️

Fantastic valentines meal, best steak I've had for a long time. Only feedback is the plates needed warming to keep meal hot they were very cold. Staff excellent, pleasant and helpful

I have to say this is the friendliest, most helpful pub I have ever been to. The staff cannot do enough for you. I'm vegan, and although they don't have anything vegan on the menu they quickly came up with a variety of meal options for me with no complaints. They even had a delicious pudding. The food was all lovely, nice selection of drinks. We were there for four hours and at no point were the staff cleaning around us waiting for us to go. I have never felt so welcomed anywhere. Well worth a visit.

The Fox Inn, Stourton, never fails to deliver. A lovely Sunday lunch. The roast beef was delicious and the vegetables, served separately, so important for me, were delicious with an excellent choice. Compliments to the Chef for the three courses we very much enjoyed. Service was exceptional and we were looked after by pleasant and professional staff members. Happy New Year to you all.

Such a lovely pub Wonderful food and fantastic customer service. Cannot fault this Little Gem. Its also wonderful in the summer with a massive open space beer garden that sees the sun.

An absolutely amazing night we all had, by all off our employees and oursleves for our work's Christmas get together on the 21st December. The effort and work put into the entertainment , decor ,and the food was just phenomenal. Lots of brilliant comments by our guests of the evening, the mouth watering food street selections, english Christmas roast in a homemade yorkie wrap, chicken tikka curry and the tacos too👏We had such a brilliant evening, top atmosphere, food and vibes. The acts were fabulous Thanks to all the staff at the fox. Everyone at QB Roofing wish you all A Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Can't wait to see what next years theme is.

Amazing afternoon tea party for my mom’s 80th birthday. Food, atmosphere, staff and venue were all amazing.

Fab night for our works do,lovely warm christmassey atmosphere,nice food,apple crumble to die for,great mixture of music and entertainment of acrobats to watch while we ate,lovely fun evening. I go to the fox a lot and always happy and looked after,if ever people have a problem they should make staff aware and it would be resolved…. Fab night will always return ….

Well where to start, party of 12 and they squeeze us on a table suitable of 8/10 you couldn’t even get chairs out to sit down.(they did solve that after we complained) Then the buffet from round the world it was NOT a buffet at all you can only have 1 main & one sweet which is just street food served in a cardboard box very disappointing after paying £40 pp. The entertainment was not that good it was only on a short time, disco was ok all types of music played but the room was in big enough for the amount of people there.

Enjoyed an amazing Christmas party night, with my team. Nick Vicki and the team looked after us so well. Great food, drinks and service! Will be back next year.

Today I had lunch at The Fox Inn, along with another 88 other people. We were assembled in a private room which was beautifully decorated, warm and very welcoming. We were to have a three course meal with coffee and we had been asked to choose from the menu the food which we would like to eat. My starter was Tomato soup which was delicious, followed by roast beef and Yorkshire pudding,broadtail potatoes, peas, red cabbage, broccoli in a cream sauce and sliced postales also in a cream sauce. Finally Citron tart served with cream and coffee. The food was excellent, but I should point out that bread rolls and butter were served, but there were no side plates or accompanying knife. The dessert cutlery was incorrectly laid out, and there were no small spoons to use for the mustard and cranberry sauce/jelly. Just a few observations but something quite noticeable.

Soup dishes so shallow, so very little soup, had to ask for a bread roll. Beef so rare it still had a pulse. One small baby carrot, leak in cream, not enough for a table of 8, had to wait for another small dish, dessert of sticky toffee pudding needed cream or ice crea, all in all, a very poor meal and slow service. The waitresses couldn't have cared less. Good job the disco was good and saved the night.

Our first drinks orders were taken by a pleasant waitress, all drinks after that we had to go and stand at the bar to order, mid meal. The food was good but it took so long for the veg to come out, the gravy was cold. We only had one dish of potato dauphinois, one dish of cauliflower cheese and two small bowls of peas and carrots between twelve! there wasn’t nearly enough veg we had to ask for more since some of us had no veg at all. We had one set of salt and pepper pots between us all, no offer of condiments and none asked if the meal was ok. What a shame

Great pub lovely room. Not the warmest of welcomes and a bit disorganised but have given a 5 as the breakfast was outstanding. Noisy above the pub but we were fine with that. Jack who cooked the brekkie was lovely and fab food nothing fried.

We had lovely Sunday roast dinner. When we walked I’d we were told that tables are not available but girl checked again and give us table in the bar area. Our roast dinner pork and beef was very tasty, fresh, loads of vegetables. Friendly atmosphere, tasty food what else you need.

What a fabulous Sunday lunch, freshly made and gravy was delicious 😋 The staff were really lovely too and couldn't do enough to help. Will definitely be returning.

We were seated in the conservatory but the acoustics of the room meant that we were really struggling to hear one another. We had to go looking for staff to order initial drinks. We ordered our food, soup was advertised as tomato but arrived as mushroom, I am told that it was nice but we were told that the specials board had not been updated today, hence the mix up - so not so much specials of today then? Main courses arrived - and special mention to the fish platter as it was fantastic - but the side dishes did not arrive for a good ten minutes after the main dish, we were not offered more drinks, no-one checked that the meal was ok, we were not offered condiments with the meal. Coffees arrived and put on the end of the table with a mumble by the waitress so unsure which was which, then we had to go to the bar to pay - but the bar staff were run off their feet due to a function in the function room, so car park also rammed. The fish dish I could not fault, and if I went back it would have to be in the main pub (not conservatory) and a quiet night - so I agree with others food excellent, to get sides at the same time as main meal could be greatly improved. And service really needs improving as customers would spend more and return.

Stopped here for some lunch as it looked nice. Ordered our food and after a 45min wait our food arrived,and was sent back as it was not what i ordered. Went back came back still wrong. We left and went to another establishment who appreciated our business. Very disappointed with service and intolerable waiting times. Will not be returning.

"Our golf team staying at this award-winning pub was a hole-in-one decision! The rooms were extremley clean and with beautiful decor. We celebrated our win in style with the homemade pizzas and great beer in the garden with live music, but our hosts were the real champions. Thanks for the par-fect hospitality!" ⛳🍻😂

The food was fantastic. The scallops were delightful, and the lasagna and steak were cooked perfectly. However, we were left waiting for over half an hour to pay the bill as they did not have enough card machines to cover the dinner service and the bar. We were told initially someone would be back shortly with the card machine, however, after 30 minutes we went up to the bar ourselves as the staff had clearly forgotten we were still there. No effort was made to fully apologise for keeping us waiting. They were hosting an event that they clearly were not prepared for, with incredibly long queues for the bar and an overcrowded car park. We would usually be keen to go back for a second time due to the quality of the food, but the poor service means we would not recommend this place to anyone.

I was in a party of 16 but still the food and service was great, staff were really friendly. Would definitely come here again.

Great staff, great food and great service. Definitely wont be the last time here. Came with 16 people and were all treated well.

I booked a table for 1pm with my elderly parents and 2 relatives we hadn't met before. My parents and myself arrived at 1pm and were shown to our table and ordered drinks which came straight away, our relatives arrived at 1.15pm , no one came to the table to take a drink order from then or our food order, so i went to the bar at 1.30pm and asked for a waitress to come and take the order. The waitress came in to the room and went to the table of 4 behind us to take there order who had come in after us, so they sent the waitress to our table first and then she took there order. After we had ordered another 2 customers came in and ordered . It got to 2.20pm and we hadn't received any food ,so i went to the bar to enquire where it was and they said they would look into it, 10 minutes later they bought out the food for the table of 4 and 2, so my relatives husband went to the bar to say we were still waiting and had ordered before the other tables , he was told the kitchen shut at 2.30 !!!! , but we had already ordered. Our food then started to arrive in dribs and drabs, the jerk chicken kebab was burnt, then 5 mins later the steak and ale pie came the waitress said i'll just get your peas, which arrived 5 mins later when the food had been half eaten, we then waited another 5 mins for the fish finger sandwhiches and chips, the chips weren't cooked properly there were hard bits in the middle , so we left them ,then the fish and chips arrived with garden peas and not mushy peas, so we had to wait for them to come. Not once during the meal did the waitress come to the table to ask how the food was. My father asked to see the manager after the meal, as we had been very disappointed by the service and the food, when he came to the table it was actually the owner and he was so rude , saying that we had already complained as we sat down !!!!, that they were very busy , there was nothing wrong with the chips and that we were just trying to get out of paying for the food !!!!! , he then said he wasn't interested and walked away from the table , the people on the table of 4 behind us couldn't believe like us how rude he was. He then came back with bill having taken off the jerk chicken and we said we only wanted to tell you what all the problems were and you just didn't give us the chance to speak, he wasn't interested at all, i think he'd already made his mind up when he came to talk to us he wasn't going to listen. I certainly won't be going back there again for him to speak to my elderly parents the way he did, he should be ashamed of himself.

I had wonderful weekend, dinner was excellent just fantastic food, service was brilliant. The rooms were modern, clearly newly decorated and I slept in THE most comfortable bed. Breakfast was served in the small conservatory with a warming log burner. The food and service were once again first class. I will definitely be returning for another stay

Attended The Fox for an evening meal with a group of friends. Food and service overall excellent. I had a fillet steak and it was the best steak I have had in years! The steak was of a good size and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Great food credit to the chefs. Sadly the front of house let our dinner down. 90 mins for 2 courses then wasnt offered desert, waited 30 mins for before giving up and flagging staff down for the bill. Really nice setting and pub.

A very Special "Thank You." To Vicki, Stef and all the Team. We just couldn't have managed all the arrangements without you. After a stressful year of lockdowns, cancellations, rearrangements and furloughs, my wife and I were able to get married on the 28th May 2021. We held our intimate family wedding lunch on the 28th May, at The Fox. The food was exquisite and the service was first class. Our evening reception was held the 20th August 2021, once again at The Fox. The room, atmosphere, decorations, food and service were once again exquisite and first class. Throughout the past year, and then again during our celebrations Vicki and all her team went above and beyond there duties to ensure that we had everything we wanted. My wife and I and all of our guests had a wonderful time.

Me and my husband Jake got married at The Fox on Saturday 24th July this year after the date changing twice, which was not a problem for them at all! We had the most amazing day, everyone said how beautiful the venue and the food was and Vicky never stopped running around all day to make sure everything run smoothly. All the staff were lovely and very helpful! So myself and Jake would like to say a big thank you for making our day perfect!

A group of us came today from a local school about 20 to have a catch up from past and present staff. We were so pleased to meet up and was made all the better to have waiting and bar staff past students. Lovely they were too those of us who ordered food were impressed We are going to make this a half term event Thanks for making us welcome

Outstanding room. Very comfortable and modern. The bed was outstandingly comfortable - Room 2. Lovely coffee machine, tasty breakfast and lunch. Friendly and approachable bar staff and staff in general. Highly recommended.

We needed somewhere local for my moms 82nd birthday - we hadn’t been to the Fox for some time ( I did have my wedding reception there many years ago!) but had heard the food was really great . We were not disappointed! Although the menu was lovely Mom just fancied an omelette but this wasn’t on the menu ! So we asked and the kind chef delivered - it was absolutely gorgeous . She loved it .My daughter had the chicken skewers and I had the lamb chops -both were delicious . We took our own birthday cake and the people in the restaurant and staff sang happy birthday . It was perfect in every way - they had a big lovely covered area for outside too . Thank you Steff - still a great host !

We had our wedding at the Fox Inn. Where do i begin what an amazing venue, the food was gorgeous everyone had so many compliments to give about the food! The staff worked so hard all night to make sure everything was perfect and did an excellent job. Vicki organised everything and made our day so special and perfect i cant thank her enough for all she did, she went above and beyond! The rooms were amazing so clean and very comfortable. Breakfast the next morning was out of this world.Many thanks lauren and ben

Many thanks to Vicki and her team for making the wedding reception for our daughter and her new husband such a fantastic and memorable day and evening.The food and drink were just as we had planned.The service and care we received from everyone involved was excellent...but special mention must go to Vicki for her care, professionalism and attention to detail.We stayed overnight in the rooms at the pub and they were fantastic too.Thanks again to everyone for giving all of our guests a fantastic time.

We visited yesterday at 15.00 for a couple of drinks.We arrived and made our way to the garden. A waitress walked over and explained to orrder we had to use the QR code which we could find on the table and walked off.We both tried tried for 10 mins to use it without luck.As we were did this a man came out and appoligised but we would have to move as there were 5 tables that had been booked and he had forgoton.So we decided to leave.As we did i counted 16 empty tables.Before i left i went into the pub to part with my experience with the staff.The man i spoke to just said tables were booked.I asked if those exact table numbers had been booked.He replied it was his fault.As i was talking i heard a waitress say to another member of staff we are not taking that food out yet.Such a shame as we looked forward to the visit.But we went to the The Manor House at Whittinghm and had. far better experience.

Decided to give The Fox another go, after vowing to never visit again 4 years ago. The previous time we came for food, ordered drinks at the bar and then asked to order food. To which we were told the kitchen was closed, only for a local to come to the bar around 5 mins later and order a meal! This aside, I decided perhaps time for another try. We visited in July 2021 and sat outside. The 3 pizza's took around 1 hour 20 to arrive. We had to order drinks via the app, which is fair dos. However, the second drinks we paid for, and 25 minutes later nothing had come. I chased with one of the members of staff (who was very polite and apologetic) who then went away to check. 5 minutes later, the lady returned and I was asked to show my receipt and that once they'd seen proof they could organise the drinks. This instruction must have been given by a manager, and it wasn't the lady's fault. If you've paid for drinks, you don't expect to be questioned after a 25 minute wait!

The Fox has always been our ‘go to’ place and we have had many celebrations here, including my daughters wedding which was fabulous. As a party of six we had a fantastic meal on Saturday, everything cooked to perfection and some good choices on the menu. The seafood platter is a definite winner. Will see you soon

The food was excellent. However the service and wait time were very disappointing. The server was really apologetic and explained as soon as we ordered drinks that due to having a wedding on the go she would not take our food order straight away as the wedding food was just about to be served. We were quite shocked that they would take a booking for 6.45pm and expect people to wait until 7.30pm to order. We were lucky as the table who arrived 15 minutes after us did not get any food until we were leaving at around 8.40pm. Definitely bad management. Poor staff were constantly apologising. They certainly managed to sell a lot more drinks and several people were slightly drunk before getting fed. There was no offer of a free drink or reduced bill. Appalling! I suggest checking if there is a wedding on the day you book and avoid it if there is. That said the food was really good and we will go again but not on a wedding day.

Husband and I just been back to the Fox for our 5th wedding anniversary. We had an amazing wedding here back in 2016, and every visit since has been fantastic. Jack, the current chef, has done amazing job taking over from Nick in the kitchen, and kept the standards to the highest level! Can't praise the food and service enough. Can't wait to be back again soon, think I'll go for the sea food sharing platter all to myself and a double helping of trifle! Yes it's that good!

Visited 6 July (today) as it was our Pearl Anniversary, had our reception here 30 years ago so thought it would be nice to reminisce as we had been into Kinver earlier and visited the church to take photos of our special day. I booked through open table and it asked if it was a special occasion, I put it was. Got there, wasn’t sure which door to go in, went in through lounge to ask where we were to sit, sat opposite bar. Didn’t have lasagne that we wanted to order, service poor, no atmosphere in there only staff walking in our out, waitresses couldn’t crack a smile, no mention of Anniversary, food was ok. When we came to pay I mentioned our reason for booking and got no response from waitress. All very flat. Won’t be booking again.

Planned a Sunday lunch for the wife’s birthday, waited an hour for food even know we were the only ones in the pub ordered 6 adult meals and the veg wasn’t even enough for 4 unless you like peas all this with a couple of kids meals and a glass of Pepsi each for over £125, save the extra you’d spend here by going you local weather spoons you’ll have a better experience

Service time was hurendous When did get seeved Food didnt come for over hr and half Very disappointed

looking forward to cod and chips only to find the fish full of bones when i told them they asked if there was something else i would like so i said what my wife has had,, waiting and waiting by this time my wife had finished her meal and still waiting , we told the waitress to forget it and she said oh its done now....... told her we had come out for a meal together ,,,,, shame really will not visit again

haven't been to The Fox since pandemic started and was impressed at how good the food quality was . more limited menu than i remember but three of our party had fish n chips - better than the chip shop ! excellent service was slow i would say and had to catch the eye of waiting staff , however, they were serving inside and out V good - would recommend

We booked to eat here on Bank Holiday Monday. On arrival the pub was packed outside with drinkers enjoying the glorious weather. We were seated inside (which was fine) which was largely empty when we arrived. The first disappointment was the menu. Already quite limited (6 dishes) we were informed that their fish supplier had not arrived and that there was no seabass or turbot. They did have cod fillet or dressed crab however. We then waited over 15 minutes for someone to take a drink order and eventually had to go up to the bar and ask if we could be served.Finally, we then waited for 75 minutes for the food to arrive. The food was good and enjoyable, although their were some odd choices: the spiced honeyed duck came with an English salad for example All the while staff were rushing in and out taking drinks outside. It felt largely like the pub was focussed on serving it’s beery clientele outside. That’s fine and totally understandable but I’d actually have preferred it if they had refused our booking on the basis that they wanted to focus on drinkers outside rather than diners inside.Not somewhere we’ll be rushing back to sadly. A shame as we’ve recently moved just down the road from The Fox

Our best friends, got married at The Fox recently and we had the best time! All of the staff were so friendly and helpful, thank you to Vicky who helped us with all the set up the day before. Jack for the Tech help and the young lady and gentleman who served the bar on the Saturday evening. Nothing was too much trouble, everyone was really great. The food was beautiful too! One of the best brownies we have ever tasted!Our Bride and Groom has a fabulous day! Everything was perfect! We will defiantly be returning for a Sunday roast! Thank you also to lovely lady who served our breakfast for the wedding party the following morning - again superb food for breakfast and all our requirements were met. Overall, really fantastic place! x

My friends and I hadn't been out for a meal out for some time, we were really looking forward to our night out and it didn't disappoint.It was quite chilly outside, but were each given a blanket to keep warm which was a lovely touch.Service was excellent, a big thanks to Nick who looked after us and Ellie Mae who was a good waitress.Will definitely be back soon.Nicola Guise

I can’t even put into words how amazing Vicki made our wedding day! It was perfect from the planning to the finish. The decor / setting was fabulous, in addition to the service and food. They even had blankets as it was a little bit cool later on and had a fire for us! Sharon and I want to say a huge, huge thank you to Vicki, Stef & Nick and all the amazing, friendly and helpful staff for making our day one that we will never forget! We even had a cheer when we arrived from people who there were which was so lovely!!! It was so professionally planned and they every little detail covered and even let us play our own music. Everything was just so perfect, so thank you, thank you so much. Vicki was absolutely amazing and had everything covered from the word go!!! Thank you, Sharon and Craig Jones xxxxxxx

Waited an hour and half for a pizza, we were the 2nd in line to place order, tables wasn’t cleaned between service, ashtrays full, other people complaining food was cold etc, no management about only young staff who were waitressing, don’t waste your money here nothing nice about the place, disappointed after waiting for us to be able to go here after lockdown, Won’t be returning

Awful, Aweful, Aweful.Booked a lunch table for Bank Holiday Monday and despite poor weather decided to brave it. When we arrived we were offered a table with a full ashtray on it - had to ask for it to be removed and had to ask for napkins to dry the benches. We were then "treated" to a group of 10+ roudy men all in one group singing football songs and swearing (despite their being a child present). Staff seemed oblivious to the 6 people restrictions and took no notice of the roudiness. Didnt even finish our drinks and left without ordering food.Not what we expected and definitely not going back.

It was terrible I will never go again. I have eaten all over the world from 5 stars to africa Street food. They broke the law and the swearing was atrocious. No human being should go

Having seen the pub on four in a bed, thought it would be a great place to go for a meal. This was the first time we had eaten out since the easing of Covid restrictions with family members. Covid guidelines were not followed, tables were not cleaned between clients and more than six people in one group were,present. There was a group of approx eight people standing around a table, their language was offensive, we had a 12 year old with us and they were singing rugby type songs, this was at two in the afternoon. We did not order food and left. The menu was restricted and the price of everything was £14, fish and chips, burger and chips and similar. We will not be returning.

This is my second review because I love this place soooo much! Our first visit post lockdown and we haven’t been disappointed. New measures have been implemented perfectly, staff although super busy are as lovely and polite as ever and the wine glasses are still large :) So happy to be able to visit again! Kirsty xx

We’ve just had another superb take away. Brilliant delivery, warm and top quality food. From the fish and chips, Crispy duck pancakes and my very favourite delicious huge prawns in garlic sauce! Really recommend it!

collected pizzas on Saturday night chosen from the new pizza menu, cooked in a wood fired oven, ready to collect on time, had Peking Duck with Hoisin Sauce, Tandoori chicken, and ham and pineapple,all tasted amazing, still hot when out the box. Will definitely be having again.

First time we have used the takeaway service, excellent service and the food was superb. Highly recommend

We attended The Fox Inn one Sunday afternoon, it was busy and crowded. Very little chance of keeping a distance from others, I was pretty uncomfortable with the whole setup. There was a one way system but it wasn't shown on the outside of the doors so we unwittingly went in what we soon realised was the exit, it didn't cause any problems but we do like to obey the rules whenever possible! I didn't see any hand sanitiser for use, there was none by the doors nor on the tables. So for COVID safety I would award minimum brownie points.The food however was pretty good, it was served efficiently, hot and was tasty, decent vegetables, the meat was good. They were running out of puddings/sweets and the choice anyway was poor. It has been many years since we have been here and it has good reviews, if it wasn't for their management of the building during this awful pandemic I would give a better rating but it pains me to lower it.Would I come again? Probably.

Thank you for a fantastic Sunday Lunch yesterday. Great service. Nick and the team did an excellent job.

This is our second visit in recent weeks and on both occasions it’s been fabulous. Service has been excellent, all of the staff very attentive and informative. The food has been superb and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed every minute. We will definitely come back. Thank you!

We came to visit as a another local venue was closed. Our host and barman Dave was an absolute touch of magic. He was friendly and efficient to no measure! The building itself is so beautiful but it’s always the staff who make the experience and Dave was truly wonderful. Covid measures were visible and adhered to and we felt very safe. Thank you for looking after us. Kirsty and Mike xx

Visited last night to meet friends for dinner. decor & sorroundings are very nice. Clearly doing what they can to be Covid proof. Had a very nice prawn cocktail & rib-eye steak & my wifes dover sole looked lovely too.... we would both have appreciated on option of side order of veggies but still enjoyed it. Will go again.

We had a lovely meal last night for a friends birthday the food was amazing as usual! Service was also great. It’s one of our favourite places and we always get looked after well by the staff. Highly recommend the fox If you like steak you won’t beat The Fox cooked to perfection every time

Hubby had the ribs and I had the duo of lamb. Both meals were superb! Staff were friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Would defiantly recommend! Looking forward to our next visit!

Following playing golf our team decided to have lunch at the Fox Inn. We had a very warm welcome from the staff who were polite and helpful.lunch was served quickly and was delicious.The landlord/owner made us very welcome . We are planning to stay at the Fox Inn in their beautiful rooms and then play golf at the local club. Thanks very much ❤️

our experience was brilliant, all the staff were really attentive, despite how busy the pub was inside and outside which created a good atmosphere. They were well laid out to deal with Covid and we felt safe at the location. They do gorgeous pizzas in an outside oven and the fillet steak was cooked to perfection . The bedroom was very comfortable with a decent capsule coffee maker , modern bathroom and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order too. If we ever return to the area for golf we will definitely return and encourage our friends too. doing a great job!!

We visited on 20th August the bar staff wasn't very happy or friendly. Sorry if we disturb your quiet day. Won't be returning.

We came here after visiting some antique centres, we were quickly seated and our taken we both ordered the steak. The meals arrived both steaks were excellent and the service was really good. Would we eat here again yes.

We have been eating out twice a week since lockdown eased and were looking forward to going here as the menu looked great.We’d booked about 3 weeks in advance to make sure we got in as it was a Saturday.When we arrived the garden was packed, but that was ok as we were eating inside. Hand sanitizer was supplied at the ‘wait here to be seated’ area so all looked good.We were then directed to our table which seemed to be in the function suite. It was very busy with some large parties. We were given menus and ordered our drinks. The music was very loud and the atmosphere was like being at a wedding reception of someone you’ve never met, screens had been placed in between tables to offer more protection, but actually resulted in people having to walk very close to us as they walked to the bar. At the bar there were a number people standing talking, there seemed to be lots of people coming in and out of the room, walking around and going out again. When a guy walked past our table for the third time and rested his hand on the back of my wife’s chair, we decided to go, we just didn’t feel safe, we paid for our drinks and left.This experience won’t put us off going out as we’ve been to so many restaurants who have got it sorted and offer a comfortable experience in these difficult times.

My daughter and I were en route to Bridgnorth, but decided to stop here for lunch.We hadn't booked, but the helpful staff showed us to an available outside table.We were served with drinks while we decided what to have. We both opted for fish and chips. I had mushy peas and my daughter had garden peas.We loved the shallow bowls they came in. I can honestly say that it was one of the best fish and chips I've had in a pub. The batter on the fish was thin and crisp and not oily. Once you had eaten it, you didn't get a fatty taste in your mouth. The oil it was fried in was at the right temperature and was fresh.The chips were the best I have tasted, crispy, home made, fluffy in the middle. Delicious mushy peas and homemade tartare sauce completed the meal.I love my food as you can probably tell, so when a place does traditional fare exactly right, it's commendable.Well done The Fox at Stourton!Also well done on pleasant staff, background music not too intrusive and excellent organisation.All in all, a good lunch, and no, we never got to Bridgnorth!

After the lockdown, it was good to go out for a meal again, we have been using the takeaway ( fox on the run ) service waiting for the time to go back into the restaurant. I must say that Stef and the staff were fantastic and the meal was nothing less that perfect. Stef is a complete gentleman and its a pleasure to eat there, will be back next week !!!

Absolutely fab time here. We came for lunch at about half past 12, me and my mum are both vegetarians so we asked about what veggie options are available and there was lots for us to choose from. I had battered halloumi with chips and my mum had a halloumi salad with balsamic vinegar. The meals came out in good time and were absolutely delicious, easily the best vegetarian food I've had at a restaurant in a while. The two ladies who served us were both polite and helpful, as was the lad on the bar. I would definitely recommend a visit soon :)

What a brilliant place to visit during these COVID troubled times.Very busy when our party ate Sunday lunch, the quality of food far outweighed the time we had to wait to order. The staff were good and the viral precautions far exceeded government guide lines.Would I return? Damn right I would.

We recently stayed for one night, just the 2nd guests after lockdown. Everything was very new to the staff and they were trying their hardest to make sure everything was right. We arrived on a sunny sunday afternoon and were given our own table in the garden with g&t,s brought to us, the bar manager couldn't be more attentive. We had a good roast dinner with wine in the garden whilst a decent chill out DJ played next to the outdoor pizza oven and then retreated to room 4 which was spotlessly clean with very modern furnishings. Breakfast was served at a time to suit us and was delicious. We had chosen to stay there because we had watched it on 4 in a bed and it looked just what we wanted to split our drive from Edinburgh to Kent, it was a perfect stopover, I would recommend and how lucky if you live in the area for family sunday lunches.

Meals delivered hot and on time during Lockdown. Over the last 4/5 months we have taken advantage of the meals being delivered by The Fox. Every single one has been delivered on time and piping hot and delicious. From Sunday roasts to Friday night pizza. We have been very impressed at their efforts to keep their business going and us fed! It is a wonderful family establishment and they deserve to give themselves a pat on the back. I am so pleased to live close enough to have the meals delivered.

Thought I would write this after being to other establishments recently that were not trying too hard to be COVID safe . Arrived and was greeted by a nice young lady who explained procedures and took contact details for trac and trace . We then had a lovely family meal under the marquee, order via app and drinks bought to your table . We had freshly made stone baked pizzas which were lovely- in fact it’s the first time my youngest child has eaten a whole pizza as she liked it so much ! Well done and appreciate your efforts to keep everyone safe . Will Look forward to visiting again

Just had lunch here, 4 of us celebrating my partners sons birthday. The food came out lukewarm, by the time the waitress came over and asked us how it was, the food was cold, she asked us if we wanted it warmed up in the microwave.... no we didn't!! Then a guy came over and offered to change all 4 meals. It was to late, so we told him so, we didnt fancy waiting another half hour!!! We had 2 drinks, a meal and a desert each £104, terribly overpriced and no gesture of goodwill knocked off the bill. I do not recommend this place for food. We will not be returning!

came out for a drink after the lockdown, very spacious table lay out. Music with dj chilled and relaxing. Staff all wearing correct ppe. Fast service for drinks and food from a table layout app. Stone baked Pizza was delicious, one suggestion place pizza menu on table with other menus. Very impressed will come again. Thank you the fox.

Fantastic Sunday roast takeaway service, the pick up service was efficient and followed social distancing guidelines really well. The food was brilliant and there was plenty of it!

Just wanted to say, that the afternoon tea takeaway was such a nice thing to do for my first face to face meet up with my girl friends last week( we were sat in my garden and we were 2 metres apart)since lockdown. It feels like life is starting to get back to some sort of normality.Well done to The Fox once again!!!

Thank you to all at The Fox who provided our 30th Wedding Anniversary meal. Delivered on time, good quality hot food, well packed and a varied choice on the menu. Very much appreciated ...thank you

I have found ordering a Sunday lunch an excellent means of discovering which day it is during lockdown! An extra bonus has been the quality of the food delivered which has always contained generous amounts of well cooked meats and vegetables with a tasty gravy. Amongst this my favourite flavour comes from the leeks. A little extra touch. Always delivered on time and ready to eat. This has been a useful discovery.

We have always loved the food from The Fox, great atmosphere too.Due to the coronavirus we’ve ordered our first Takeaway.WOW, far far better than expected. (Takeaways are not our favourite )Dressed Crab Salad. What a treat! All the extras, including the most wonderful, warm fresh bread.Will defiantly be ordering a takeaway from there again.

Excellent sunday lunch delivered to our door, nice and hot and on time. Would definitely recommend to anyone. If lockdown continues we will be calling them again no doubt.

We enjoyed delicious fish and chips, beautifully packed, piping hot and delivered to our door. Thank you for a lovely night off from lockdown cooking!

Just had a take away delivery from the Fox as we do weekly. We have always been really please but this week was a excellent. I am reluctant to say how delicious mine was as I don’t want anyone else to get it and there would be none left ! I’ve already reserved it for next week!!!

Excellent meal delivered hot , beef as good as we have tasted , thank you Stef and the gang we shall be ordering again.
