The Fox Inn in St Edmundsbury

Warm welcome and a homely traditional county pub. Great people on both sides of the bar.

Real pub, real people, real ale!

Great for lunch, sensible price, nice atmosphere

An absolute gem of a pub. The food is exceptional and precisely what you’re looking for; the proprietors are absolutely charming people and pleasantly engaged and willing to make your visit perfect; the atmosphere is exactly as you’d want in a rural pub. 10/10.

I didn't stop for food or drink. They weren't serving food, thank God. We walked into the pub, and immediately, the 'locals' stopped and stared at us. This is definitely a local pub for local people. If you enjoy feeling super uncomfortable, then this is the place for you. It might do nice food and drink, I can't really comment on that, but the atmosphere absolutely sucks.

Worst pub I’ve ever been to. Within 1 minute of going in I was told off for (a) going into a room I shouldn’t go into (b) having my shoelaces undone and (c) parking in the wrong place. That last one, I was told twice and then laughed at for it by the whole pub, full of local community people all staring at me and intimidating me because I was a stranger. The barmaid was nice at least. I had never been to the pub before, never even been to the area, I left within one minute and will never go back.

Great little place, very friendly and welcoming. Did not eat this time but will be back. Large car park ,bar ,restaurant and pool table. Unlike so many pub it is open 7 days a week 🙄 😀 with food from Wensday to Sunday (but please check yourself) Looking forward to a return visit 😀 😊

A excellent traditional pub with friendly staff and locals (open every day!!) Food from wednesdays, have not eaten here yet but will soon all in a lovely location nowoved near so will be returning soon.

The best pint of beer in the area. Patrick and Sue are super friendly, open all hours, a must visit to one of the last surviving proper pubs !!

Sunday roast - beef or pork - was the only offer for a main course on that day, but it was very nice! We felt like we are back to our childhood having Sunday lunch from our mums! Also, the very friendly staff made our afternoon enjoyable.

Great pub Great people even better than it was

Great food, great service, great beer.

What a lovely pub! Husband used to come here with his parents as a teenager and our daughter asked where he would like to go for father days and he just said The Fox Inn, she called and booked a table which we were lucky to get a short notice on Father’s Day. Arrived, warmly welcomed and then got straight into food! The lady in charge was lovely, so accommodating to our fussy daughter, food was proper home cooked English pub grub! Garden perfect to bring our dog too, desserts were lovely. Thank you, we will definitely be coming back and bringing the grandparents! X

What can I say, The most Perfect Bub to ever to Visit Period 👌👍

Your proper local pub. Sue, landlady, and other staff, always there to greet you with sincere smiles and greetings. Wonderful place at any time - all welcome, including dogs. Gather to sit in the bar area and catch up with friends by the log burner, watch the rugby, play a game of pool, or sit at a table out front or in the garden and enjoy the fresh air and countryside with your pint. Great stop off point for walkers and cyclists who need a rest and refreshment. Hearty food served too. Would recommend.

Beautiful place. Fantastic food. Lovely owner

Excellent range of Real Ales in Excellent condition.

Amazing food and staff were very helpful

Friendly team who will always go out of their way to give you excellent service. Lovely Sunday roast!

Very nice meal, and lovely friendly staff and great atmosphere, will be going again !!!

A gem of a pub, lovely people, good beer, and simple but satisfying food.

We were in the area and looking for someone to eat. A limited menu but very good traditional home cooked food. Friendly staff and local clientele.

Cannot recommend them enough. Great old fashioned pub with great home cooked food, good selection of beers and a great landlady. Definitely be back.

Friendly and reasonably priced.. lovely garden and country village location

First visit the other evening, very welcoming, a real old fashioned pub in the best way! Haven't sampled the menu but will definitely return to do so. A small selection of real ales, the best Timothy Taylor Landlord I've had outside Yorkshire. Very much recommended if you are a fan of real pubs!

Real old school pub that has no right to still exist, prove me wrong and stop for a pint and some pork scratchings

We visited with my sister Julie after the pub had held a vitual wake for her husband Johnny. We recieved a very accommodating welcome and really enjoyed our time there with julies friends. A really welcoming atmosphere Made even better by Patrick and Sue.

I think its the best pub , probably in the world. ..we regularly drive the 18 miles from home ..its what a pub should be ..Good food. Good beer and good company ..banter is free..

Welcoming friendly and lovely garden

We've just had a lovely Sunday roast here. There was a choice of chicken or pork (or both if you wanted), 4 different vegetables, roast potatoes, stuffing ball, massive Yorkshire pudding & gravy. We were both stuffed so couldnt manage a pudding! We will definately be going back so will try one of those next time ;) The couple running it were both very friendly and we were made to feel very welcome. Nice traditional pub, good pint and lovely log burner.

Traditional country pub..friendly cheerful landlady..great food...xx

A local village pub with a roaring fire which on a wet damp evening was welcome. A choice of 4 real ales and a good wine list Has a daily card and dominoes school and does an op special lunch on Thursdays. Sue is always accommodating and does good food.

Visiting the area for the weekend. Some places make you feel exluded when not local to the area or a new face but this place was lovely. Fellow patrons and owners were very friendly and we were warmly welcomed. Would definately visit again and again if in the area

Homely food and a very warm welcome, a great spot for lunch on a country walk.

Good beer, Timothy Taylor good food, good company

My niece had her wedding garden party in the really pretty garden at The Fox, despite the fact it rained on and off all day it was a wonderful wedding. The staff were fantastic , really friendly and couldn't do enough to make the day run smooth, its such a lovely pub .

Traveling from America most of the day, we were famished and tired! We tried a closerpub first, but we're turned away. Sue was so very welcoming. A lovely pub and the delicious hot food was just what we needed. You won't be disappointed!

Good food, nice people & dog friendly. Perfect place to stop after a walk around Ousden.

Very nice food and friendly staff

Friendly welcoming staff and chatty locals. Still a traditional country pub.

Fresh clean pub with the woodburner pumping out some cosy warmth friendly people darts and pool on offer

Wonderful friendly pub, defo go again

I'm GF intolerant and they went the extra mile to provide me a good lunch. I recommend it. Perhaps it would be a good idea, if going during 'Peak' times to phone ahead. 👍👍👍

Traditional old pubs are becoming more and more rare. This is the kind of pub you can walk into not knowing anyone and people will chat or leave you alone if that's what you prefer. Don't expect fancy decoration or big screen TVs just a nice selection of well managed beers and a genuine welcoming atmosphere.

Nice friendly folk . Will be back again

The Fox is our new local, wasn’t sure what to expect being new to the area but what can I say, we have been back every Sunday this year and it’s now April! Sue, Patrick and Jamie are beyond amazing. Patrick pours a great pint and enjoys welcoming you into the Fox, instantly feel welcomed. Sue is amazing, especially with my daughter and the large group we seam to being every weekend from extras to individuals requests, while Jamie cooks without doubt the best Sunday roast in town.... and I like a homely Sunday roast. The servings are massive, taste amazing, all for under £10!!!!! Highly recommend, if you don’t enjoy the staff, locals and food, find me and I’ll pay your bill :) Thanks all and see you next Sunday :) Sam, Ella and Bonni

Proper old village pub and rèsteraunt.Well worth a visit.

Very very friendly pub. Came in as strangers and left as friends. We have been back many times and are always made welcome. Food is fantastic and cooked fresh to order.

Recently taken over. Major improvements under way

Nice food, nice beer, lovely staff.

Stopped here for a pint when walking (didn't try the food). Nicely kept ale and friendly bar staff. Not the most beautiful of pubs and it was fairly basic, but a reasonable place to stop for a pint.
