The Fox Inn in Wyre Forest

Would not recommend this for a meal due to the limited menu (and some of those they had not got) and for hygiene reasons. The crockery used was awful - I had 15 crackers/chips on one bowl for pudding. And the same on all tableware. Are they not aware of germs that you get from chipped crockery ???? Please throw them out ! Health & safety would have a field day. The food was really low standard, a starter consisted of just 3 tiny meatballs thrown into a chipped bowl with some lambs lettuce thrown in the top ??? and due to limited options we had the carvery as a main - which was very nice and so credit to the chef on the carvery. Would not recommend unfortunately ☹️ 15 chips on the pudding bowl attached. Pleeeeease use common sense and throw away before someone becomes ill 🤒

Table of 6, absolutely disappointed tonight the service was slow,it was a good 45 minutes for starters ,didn’t have the salmon, another at least 40 minutes for the main to which there was no steak we didn’t wait for the dessert as people who came in after us got theirs before, didn’t have any crème brûlée either we heard the waitress say Just charged for two courses instead of 3 they were apologetic but for £85 it’s no where near good enough. The burger was awful the rolls were from the garage across the road. Didn’t take any more photos I’m afraid and didn’t get asked if we wanted a receipt.didnt feel like the pub was not that busy to be treated like it. We used to like it here but won’t be returning.

We visited on a cold February Wednesday evening. Thankfully, The Fox is warm and cosy inside. Smoked salmon starter, 3 meat carvery main course, followed by a creme brulee all for just £9.99. Yes, £9.99! No corners cut on the quality of the food, either. Each course was just great. All the staff were friendly and pleasant, even though they were under pressure because it was very busy. Unfortunately, they had run out of HPA, but there's always hope that it'll be available next time! A faultless experience. Will definitely visit again soon.

Really, really nice carvery 👍🍷🍺

Great Sunday carvery and super service. Highly recommended

Great food and even better service, we'll done and thank you for a lovely lunch.

Always great food. Service is hit and miss. It isn't bad, just staff running around like blue arsed flies. Customers are all wrapped up in their own world, so the atmosphere is stale. But It a nice time out with my wife, so I'm happy.

Five family members visited The Fox for a relative's birthday meal. Three of us had the 2-course menu of fish and chips, one had the carvery and one had the burger. All were good quality and served piping hot - just as I like. Dessert was sticky toffee pudding for 4 of us and one had the trio of ice cream. Again, good portions and well presented. Waitress came to take our order as soon as we arrived and had sat down, which we felt was a little too soon - a few minutes were needed to finalise menu choices. Overall, a good experience and we will be going again.

On the 22nd January I have made a booking for the fox at Chaddsley Corbett from the online menu when we arrive at the fox they did not ask for a full name or any booking details when we have then sat down we have recieved a completely different menu then the advertised menu which was on the online website and was drawn to this restaurant from the online menu, we have made our order and was not advised that it was two different menus which if false advertising. We then have ordered our starters and had no issues. On the menu that was given to us on the 22nd January they stated 4 different meat options beef turkey pork and gammon. I ordered this carvery for the pork as I do not eat any other meats when I then went up to the the carvery options there was only beef gammon and turkey which is not advertised on the menu if I knew there was only those 3 options I would of selected a different choice of mains. The other 2 occupants that agreed to come with me from the online menu asked for medium rare and medium steak and we received a well done steak for the both of the to occupants that came with me, one of the meals was half eaten and the other we had to return as we was not happy with the food we received. We then spoke to a member of staff asking for the food to be retuned as this was not we ordered. When the member of staff left to go speak to the chef she then stated I am not dealing with this the chef has then come out with no sympathy or remorse from there mistake he then stated the online menu advertises that it is just a sample menu which is not the case he then agreed with me that the carvery that I received and was advertising was incorrect the attitude of the staff was completely unacceptable. I have then had to pay for 2 of the meals which was incorrect due to not feeling comfortable with how the staff deal with there customer service even though the price of the 2 course and 3 course was the exact same we felt to uncomfortable to even stay for our desserts. I have previously lived in this area and the standards of food and customer service had destroyed the reputation of this local country pub. The only positive I can recommend is the blonde girl who really did try her hardest to make a positive outcome from this situation even though she didn’t not state about the carvery options she did know the full menu in detail. I would not recommend ever going here as the standards of this restaurant has completely changed.

Food was nice staff where friendly. I would have rated 5 stars, but the wait on food was long. Nearly an hour before, I got my starter

Very poor experience. We arrived for a pre booked table at 6.30pm on a Saturday evening. Ordered drinks and it was only after ordering drinks and asking what the pie of the day was that we were advised the pie was not available or one of the starters. At this point we asked if there was anything else unavailable to be told ‘no’. We continued to select from a very limited menu and then proceeded to order and it was only when we tried to order a steak main we were told no steaks were available. Ended up with a drinks bill when we had to leave and find an alternative restaurant due to the very limited menu. Very poor that we were not advised when seated, before ordering drinks and even when we specifically asked.

Went with a group of 10 people and had a great time. The service was excellent the food was top notch and all at anextremely reasonable price. We where seated and made welcome on arrival our waitress was attentive without being intrusive. Most people opted for the carvery option those of us that chose a different option had our meals delivered as the others collected their carvery. All the food was well presented and hot. Will be returning.

Great food , friendly ,efficient and welcoming staff. Comfortable surroundings and warm on a cold day. Ticked all the boxes ..well done.

Cold room, cold plates, cold food.

Haven’t been here for ages, popped in for a quick drink. Great service and nice pint. Couldn’t fault it, will defo call in again.

Great food good service value for money. Will be backed

Went on New Years Eve with friends had a 3 course festival lunch for £20 and couldn’t fault it Great food, service, atmosphere and most of all great value Highly recommend Simon Goddard

Too expensive not booking £19.95 for one course, March Hare is £10.99 for two courses.

Absolutely beautiful. Lovely setting, food was amazing & the staff were lovely highly recommend

Had a lovely Christmas Eve meal this year! Great service!

We had a Christmas Eve 3 Course Meal as a family of 14 & the food & service was second to none. We would definitely recommend 🎅

All round great pub had our Christmas Eve dinner there the carvery was perfect service was quick and it was a all round good experience.

Havent been for a while. Had the carvery. We thought it was excellent and great value. We arrived early and received great service and a tasty and generous meal. Full Mark's. GreT value. We will be back.

Went here Sunday 15th Dec. My 1st & last visit here. Table of 16 booked for 15.30. Drinks very expensive. £19.95 adult carvery + free dessert, I can live with that except they ran out of venison which Iwas looking forward to, as ive never tried it. Then childs £17.95. Really my grandkids are 3- 5 yr olds & got charged that for one slice of meat & couple of veggies 😡😡 then the free desserts. We had ours nearly half hr before the kids. All they wanted was a simple ice cream. Then they ran out of a flavour my granddaughter wanted so had the strawberry flavour & ran out for the other. How do you explain that to a child. I'd rather they asked us so they could all have the same. Poor service. I know it was busy but that's not a paying customers fault. They're happy to charge you full price tho

Went for Sunday lunch had a table booked for a few weeks had to wait over 30 mins at the bar until the table was actually ready . The bar was rammed we had young Children and a baby . All the table/bar staff were very young was clearly no leadership but they were trying their best . Food was average for £20 a carvery expected better yorkie puddings were defo aunt Bessie’s . All in all massively dissapointed. Shame as used to really enjoy coming here. Still waiting for my deposited of £50 to be refunded over 24 hours after the girl did it behind the bar I have no idea why it couldn’t have just been subtracted from the total bizarre .

Booked a table last week for my 3 of us.utter shambles.. no organization wots so ever.been before never had such bad experience as today.staff didn't know if the were coming or going.the lady with blonde hair who used to take ur booking at door.now seems to be in kitchen.she was so rude she should like some manners!!.when I asked if they were going to refill the carvery.as it was all dried up counter disgusting she rudly replied iam doing it.i said £20 for that .each person.utter disgrace.they did eventually fill up.chef serving the meat hadn't got clue wot he was doing counter needed a wipe.i know they were busy.but that's not the point.few people were saying it's caous today.and it certainly was.when Ben Giles used to do chefing nothing g was too much trouble.also.been on lunch time nice young lady serving carvery then.everthing fresh and hot.sorry but you have lost our custome.i will not be returning to the fox again.need to get organised!! Mrs adams.very expensive and terrible service.😒

Wouldn't recommend. I went for a Monday lunch where the carvery is buy one get one free. We had one child's meal and three carveries, with one Guinness, a squash, and water. The bill came to £87, which I thought was excessive when a normal carvery was stated as £15 on the menu. I was expecting about £40. The meat was nice but the veg was lacking. The service wasn't great; we weren't told we could just go get food whenever. There are better carveries in the area for way cheaper.

The beef was tough and the roast potatoes were hard. My sticky toffee pudding was served with lemon ice cream! Carvery and main £20-not value for money. It was below average.

Absolute awful experience.Table booked for 7 given a table.for 6!!! Food awful, service appalling and top it off charged for 11 carveys!!!! Wouldn't visit again ever even if was free!!

Tough beef, hard roast potatoes and sticky toffee pudding served with lemon ice cream. Food all over the floor. Definitely not balue for money.

This place is a absolute JOKE , poor service, food quality very poor and when asked for the bill there were 7 in our party and they try to charge us for 11 carveries another £80 nearly !!!!!!! Absolutely disgusting !!!!😱😱 Don't waste your money here it's shocking !!! There are far better warm & inviting places to eat in the area !!!

Lovely carvery, one of the best we've had in the Midlands. Every thing had loads of flavour and came togevery well. Staff were nice and very friendly. There is a decent car park for patrons. Prices were reasonable for the quality of the food.

Went for their advertised BOGOF carvery on Monday. Sunday price £14.95 so I assumed the Monday price would be £14.95 for 2 carveries. It wasn't they don't do BOGOF deals, they wanted to charge £14.95 x 2. Didn't stay.

The Fox Inn Carvery food was great, freshly cooked and plenty of it. Plates were hot enough to burn. Beware. Carvery included a dessert and our dessert order was limited to 3 of 5 choices. It took so long to come after 2x prompts that the cheesecake was all gone. The person who took the order was addressed directly and couldn’t be bothered about it, she took no ownership of the problem and left it to someone else to correct her mistake. By this time I was getting a bit annoyed and ended up taking a cinnamon roll with ice cream which was dry as chaff. Offered a partial refund didn’t take it. Poor service, rubbish dessert but good carvery. So, I’d go back for the carvery and not the desert, no wonder it’s included. Some staff need a wake-up call.

Very busy, understaffed, great veg and gravy, beef looked good but was inedible. Couldn't get attention as waitress was running round like a blue "R ssed" "fly. Given free deserts as compensation but bill at end was £38. SO! 2 carveries, half pint Guiness an bottle of zero doombar. I puzzled about the price for a while so went back and asked. Web price for carvery was £8.95 BUT, because there was a Christmas Fayre going on it was now £15pp. At least that is what I was told. My wife and I WON'T be going back that's for sure and we won't be recommending it again to friends and family.

Disappointing. We had eaten here many times before and had good experiences, but our visit this time was far from satisfactory. I'm not sure if there's been a change in management, but the overall experience was subpar. The place was overcrowded, and we were seated at a table squeezed into a corner, so much so that the table behind us kept knocking my chair. The restaurant appeared to be understaffed, with only three young women who looked exhausted. The food on the carvery tasted as though it had been cooked days before and reheated. There were no roast potatoes, and we were told to come back in five minutes when they were ready. We dined at 3 p.m., and by that time, they had already run out of two of the four desserts they offered. Several other tables around us were also complaining about their food and overall experience. We won’t be visiting again.

It was our first time at the Fox inn to celebrate a special birthday , we were very disappointed to say the least when we arrived, we were not greeted at the reception desk many staff walked pasted many times and ignored us as we patiently waited , we then made a member of staff aware we had been waiting and had continually been ignored the staff member then took our booking details to then inform us they had lost our booking!! ( not the kind of impression you want especially when it's a birthday meal and we had confirmation the day before to say they were looking forward to seeing us). The atmosphere was dull , staff looked stressed to the point we as customer's we could feel their stress , the service very slow, the restaurant was very busy . We sat near the carvery people bumped into us the chairs were so close to tables behind us and in front of us you continually got bumpt into or had to keep pushing yourself closer into the table to the point it was uncomfortable to allow another party out from their table. The carvery wasn't the best at all lots of seasoning on everything which didn't taste the best especially in the swede and on roast potatoes. Unfortunately it wasn't the place for us it didn't leave a good impression we will not be returning .

7 diners went. None of the meals were satisfactory. Had a partial refund of money, but it was not compensation for poor food.

Superb 3 course lunch, highly recommended

Came for the first time today. Had high hopes. Nice pub. Carvery was really nice. Ordered dessert twice. Still came out wrong I had the crumble but I wanted custard instead of ice cream came out with ice cream so took it back then brought out a thimble of stone cold custard we just left. Was so disappointing. Told a member of staff who just said ok. No apology. All the staff are children. Girl on the bar was miserable. Really thought we had found a great place but won’t be returning

Well where do I start = we have been to the Fox several times before and it has always been a bit hit and miss = but the food has always been edible. Sadly this was not so on our recent visit. The Carvery ~ both the turkey & beef was very dry and had been overcooked or kept warm for far too long. Veg - cauliflower cheese was rock hard and you could not get the spoon in, Dauphinoise potatoes were absolutely solid in the dish ~ again you could not get the spoon in - after a struggle got the spoon in and it was just a solid mass and looked disgusting so passed on that. Stuffing was another disaster - again just stogie and you could not even get it off the spoon. Roast potatoes and parsnips were dry and hard - personally I think they may have been from the night before - they were disgusting and all 3 in our party left them. In a word all of the food I mentioned above was only fit for the bin. One member had the pie of the day. It was NO PIE. A round piece of puff pastry placed on top of some vegetables "off the carvery" on top of the pastry was 4 small chunks of potatoe and 3 chunks of lamb in a gravy and then another round piece of puff pasty placed on top. Basically it was a "puff pastry sandwich" how they can call it a pie is beyond belief. No to desserts - two of the 4 desserts were sold out so we were offered as alternatives "eaton mess with strawberries or fruit cake - yes fruit cake" I passed on dessert. One had the eaton mess - the fresh strawberries were straight out of the fridge and very cold - they had been cut in half - fine - but they could not even be bothered to take out the green stalk - shocking. If there was a real Chef in the Kitchen how did any of that food even get past him or her to get into the Restaurant. Well we will NEVER EVER BE GOING BACK.

First time trying this pub. Best carvery I've had in decades, superb choice and quality of food fantastic. Flavour and tenderness of meats really first class. Friendly staff too. Can't wait to go back. Make sure you book.

Disapointing ,tough beef and tiramisu was the worst id ever had ! And the2 for 1 fish was 1 normal size and one small. Shall not be rushing back.

Absolutely the best carvery around. The plates are nice and hot so is the food. I am now recommending this delicious carvery to all I know. Staff are amazing.

We booked our table but still had to wait half hour for our table to be ready , carvery was lovely, but the experience was let down waiting for 1 hour for desserts ! Then told half the orders were no longer available! No management in place , young staff members looking stressed we felt so sorry for them , put more staff on , a lot of other people were complaining too !!

Me and my partner waited 1 hour for our starter to come out. The staff were extremely rushed off their feet to the point they were stressed. There was 1 waitress and 1 bar lady and it was quite busy. We opted for the 3 course menu and had to walk after the starters ( i have never had to walk out during a meal). The carvery had no meat on it and the veg/sides were all crusty and nearly empty. I felt sorry for the waitresses as I can imagine they get a lot of agro off the customers for the slow/bad service. There should be way more staff on when it’s busy. I know it’s not high end dining, but I do expect edible food and decent service. Unfortunately we won’t ever be returning to the fox after this awful experience.

Visited on Friday just gone, didn’t eat, however the food looked amazing. Atmosphere was electric, the whole short lived experience was amazing, will return. ENOC

We booked a table for Sunday 27th October at 3:30pm, we arrived early and was told they had a table they just needed to clear it and asked us to get a drink at the bar and then they would seat us. We ordered at the bar and I was told I would have to have my pint in 2 half glasses as they never had any pint glasses available and then proceeded to serve in pint glasses for the next people ordering drinks. Whilst waiting 25 minutes another couple then came in and was seated straight away, after this an older couple came and again were seated. We left and came to The Dog in Harvington, they said they didn’t have anything available as they were very busy but after I explained our situation they spoke to the manager and found us a table. We are very disappointed with The Fox and wouldn’t recommend their Sunday service, they had 3 staff members on, they all looked about 20 and totally exhausted, there didn't seem to be anyone in charge, tables were not being cleared or cleaned and there were glasses covering one end of the bar and piled up on a table.

The food and service is 5 stars you wouldn't go home hungry the staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble x

Thought we would try the Fox again & give them another chance after previous poor visits Nothing has changed. On this occasion the waitress was clearly not interested in serving us. We waited a long time for drinks & the meat on the carvery was not good at all. It was tough & chewy. This will be our last visit & cannot recommend

I had fish chips, and mush peas fish was a little over cooked for me, making it a bit dry

6 family members got together for lunch today and we all had a very happy reunion in a relaxed atmosphere with great food and service was excellent from when we arrived to table service being served with food through to paying the bill And what fantastic value for money we will go again very soon 10/10

Excellent food served by highly professional staff hence 5* rating.

We have just eaten in your restaurant it was amazing food out of this world staff so friendly and helpful this place is a hidden gem cannot praise it enough thank you for amazing time you should be so proud

Had lunch today carvery meat nice , vegetables some tasted if they had been reheated from day before, I ate very little service very slow waited 40mins for pudding the crumble tasted uncooked the apple filling was fair custard only just warm ,

Excellent night out. Nice bright restaurant and very clean tables. Excellent food great staff. Best carvery in a long time.

Popped in on the off chance there was a table. Food was fresh, tasty and very hot. The meat just fell apart we had pork and beef. The staff was extremely polite and helpful and very quick will definitely return

Beer quite nice. Service terrible took 20 minutes to be served. The ‘crusty roll’ from the soup was half a burger bun. The ‘butter’ served with it was vegan spread that was 2 years out of date! One less chicken wing than we recived last week and what feels like less sauce as well. My family have been multiple times before and the service is inconsistant. Last week they couldn’t fault it this week it was terrible. What makes it worse the table next to us, who had already finished there meal were rude to us for ‘making to much noise’ in a reaturant full of people. Quite frankly was a poor expereince all around, paid and left before making it to the cavery as the poor quality serivce and starters left a sour taste in our mouths.

Great food, service was very efficient and staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a visit

Waitresses who seemed not wanting to be there

Carvery was very disappointing, beef was tough, yorkshires were not home made, gravy was runny with not much flavour & roast potatoes & parsnips were undercooked so hard. Chocolate fudge cake was very dry & hard.

Excellent Sunday carvery but no Apple Sauce to have with pork, no Cranberry to have with Turkey and lamb had gone by 3pm but there was mint sauce also slow waiting for sweets which were nice.

My partner and I booked over the phone at 11.50am Thursday 5th September and requested a table for 12.30pm, a staff member granted our request, the carvery today was outstanding, the meat choices were an excellent selection of beef, pork and turkey, the vegetables cooked to perfection and best of all……the gravy, cooked the ‘proper’ way with the meat juices! Thus causing a taste explosion, the staff are both welcoming and accommodating, allowing us to enjoy the hospitality experience at a very high standard, this is not our first visit, as the experience has been of equal delivery on each visit, it ensures it brings us back regularly. Many thanks to all at the Fox Inn at Caddersley Corbett, Mark and Michelle Stanley xx

Good pub, pint of Guinness £7.50 bit expensive, but the main carvery was not too bad at £9 98 or £10 carvery with a desert! Lots of old people, and does get busy, on the up side food wise on the best carverys I have ever tasted wanted to eat more,but did not have any room in my belly for more! My brother eats a large plate normally, but he had a standard plate and he was full! They get a few young and middle age people like me and my bro! Place kept clean and tidy! But if you decide to go to the fox at chaddsley Corbett book as they do get full, me and my bro were lucky to just walk in and get a place!

We had booked Sunday lunch at the fox Inn, only to be served the smallest portions of meat possible 1/2 a slice of beef & 1/2 a slice of lamb when I asked for a tiny cut off piece of meat the server said NO I cannot give you that piece !!!!!! There was a time when the server asked you was that enough meat or would you like another piece! After spending over £70.00 this is a absolutely disgrace we will not be returning back again Even the cutlery had not been cleaned properly & I took 3 forks back to the bar to show them !!!! The service & hospitality has certainly gone down since we last attended , as soon as we walked in the receptionist looked at myself then looked at my husband (who’s Jamaica) & stuck us in a corner out of the way from the restaurant/ dining area , considering there were tables in the dining area & restaurant !!!! Absolutely fuming & disappointed with the reception service & food from the Fox Inn !!!!

Waited too long for the food to be served. Some of the Food came cold and 1 starter never came. Was booked for 1230 order taken at 1245 and still waiting for mains at 1430. Not enough staff on .

celebrated our sons birthday at the fox very impressed with the service and the quality of the food. Nice family atmosphere and the lay out of the restaurant. Will definitely be going again quiet a little gem👍

Excellent food and service! Great value for money too! We stopped off on the way home and was pleasantly surprised to find the menu served 3 courses for £12.95. Was really impressed with the food quality and presentation- absolutely great value for money - will definitely be back

Appalling meal, food quality consists of for the carvery meal ....... ......cold Carvery meat, dried food from Carvery ( ie that was virtually out of stock for most items or shrivelled up in the corners and hard to get to places. On other non-carvery items the was mixed feelings on quality and availability. To be honest we used to visit frequently but last 3 months quality and service dropped to unacceptable levels. One waitress busy trying to please everyone. The younger one seeing and hearing things of negativity must have put her off working as she moped around most of the night and preffered to walk past dirty plates and tables or say to customers speak to the chef and then walk off

I'm really disappointed.. came here for the inlaws 70th bday with all the family. We was sat on 2 separate tables instead of together. Then it took 30mins for anyone to take our order. Some of us had carvery so we went up and got ours but the kids and 3 adults waited over a hour for there food. As u can imagine young kids were hungry n getting upset with the wait. We then started the wait for desserts. Another 45mins went past and after constantly asking for progress still bo puddings. We eventually all left without puddings as 3 n half hours for a meal out is a piss take. ( with no dessert). Blonde girl was amazing and didn't stop running around the whole time we was there. Constantly getting grief off other people who were waiting also. That girl deserves a raise. We didn't get to see her before we left but 100% we would of tipped her. We felt so sorry for her. Beer prices were £6 a pint 😂 its not London.. defo will not be returning here. Not even a discount. Lucky we paid at all tbh.. fuming.

Ordered 3 course meal for 2 people, only received the first starts and mains. Waited for over half hour for our desserts and asked how long they would be. Staff were useless and half soaked. Wouldn’t recommend.

Fabulous....food was lovely and I can't get over the value for money! Girl serving us was lovely too, great customer service from a younger bar person. We'll definitely be returning

Delicious food, friendly service and delightful decor topped off with modest prices. An excellent all round package.

Such a lovely pub to eat & drink in.

We held my dad's 90th birthday here in July and apologies for the delay for this review. The party was organised by Ben the manager. Ben was brilliant he met with me and my Dad and he listened to what my dad wanted for his 90th birthday celebration meal. Ben helped us choose what starters, mains and desserts we wanted and nothing was too much trouble. Ben gave us a very good price too. On the actual evening everything was perfect. The staff were all amazing. They took pride in everything they did. The chef cooked food which was fresh, delicious and hot . The presentation was perfect The staff were so friendly and lovely and they made my Dads 90th birthday meal perfect. All our food came our together and that is so hard when there are nearly 50 people eating at the same time I wanted to personally say thanks to Aleesa who managed the event on the evening. She set all the tables up and rearranged the furniture and took control of everything for the night. We are so happy with everything that we are going back for our Christmas lunch! Thanks again everyone couldn't have asked for a better evening for my Dads 90th Birthday .

The value for money and quality of the food is quite unrivalled. Service a little slow but friendly nevertheless. Only downside are beverage prices, which given the value of the meals was acceptable.

I've been going to the Fox for a while now, but unfortunately, we attended today for a Sunday carvery, we were met with a very dirty and stained main carpet, not much selection of vegetables the place seems to be going down hill 😕 won't be returning

staff makes u wait 10 minutes at the bar when it was empty charged me 7.00 for 2 cokes out a bottle no draft waste of time

BEWARE their allergy notes on the menu is incorrect so be carful I was in today 7th Aug 2024 with my Father for a meal, we did let the staff know he must be only Gluten free more than once, they said all was on the menu , except carvery items, the chef on the carvery seemed vague and needed to check the recipe of some carvery items but he did check. BUT...... the menu is wrong the crumble had Gluten, we were saved a little because the lady serving us did query it and came back to us before my father had consumed too much, my father is a celiac so Gluten free is not a diet choice its a health issue the wrong facts on the menu has made my elderly father ill for past few of hours? But when I phoned the Fox this evening to discuss it there wasn't a manager, there wasn't an owner and the next in line wasn't available to speak to me they were too busy?? This is a serious health issue and the pub should be more careful on allergy? I was told James would call me back in 10 mins but its 40 mins so that is how seriously they take the customers wellbeing!

Food was great service was great only moan is not much choice on menu

We were at the fox Inn today . The food was

Was very pleased and always have been . Great staff. Enjoyed my anniversary. Thank you very much and will be back 😁👍

First and last time visiting unfortunately. Not what i expected.

Not good at all, service was very slow waited over 40 minutes for the dessert. No boiled potatoes at the carvery, do not recommend this at all.

Fantastic carvery and very delicious dessert and everything for only 10 pounds. Incredible experience, highly recommend

Excellent regular never had a bad meal very good value for money would recommend 100%

I wanted to give an honest review, whilst also being aware it was the euro final and maybe the place wasn’t on its A game. Meat very good. Accompaniments non existent. No yorkies left. No potato gratin left. No pigs in blankets left. If these are listed on the menu but not available, you shouldn’t be charged full price. The young waitress was lovely, as was her blonde colleague who grafted throughout. Young lad on the bar who has zero customer service skills. Served us the cream for our puddings and easily could’ve soured it. He was not happy to be there 🤣 but totally get he probably wanted to get home to watch the match. Has potential to be a really good carvery, but missing the option of new potatoes and replenishing core items after 5.30. Perhaps we were late and got the dregs? But personally i think if you have customers booked in, you should cater for them and would expect dregs if I was a walk in at 6.30pm. Overall, sad to say I wouldn’t return and I wouldn’t recommend to friends either. Have reviewed to offer constructive critisism as I appreciate it’s not easy in the restaurant business and you have a great location etc and with some small tweaks would be a really good option to get people travelling far and wide

Booked a table for 2pm on Sunday 7th for myself and partner. We arrived a little earlier than expected but were promptly shown to our table. The place was fairly busy, but lacked any buzz (no music or atmosphere). Once sat, we were told someone will be with us shortly to take our order. The two tables sat next to us had gone to get their carvery and had nearly finished their food and I noticed not one of them had drinks... 15mins or so went by before we had an order taken. The two tables sat next to us reminded the waitress about their drinks, even though they had all finished their meals at this point. My partner and I waited abit before going to the carvery as I was thirsty, however they didnt arrive. Got to the carvery and it looked like a good selection. We chose our meats and were handed our plate, the plates were extremely hot and to give paper napkins to hold is not acceptable as the heat still comes through. Most of the vegetables needed to be topped up and the roast potatoes were below par at best. The meal wasn't very hot which let it down massively! We got to our table and still no drinks, the two tables near us still had their dirty plates but at least had drinks but were waiting on dessert orders. The lad behind the bar looked very bored and seemed to be on his own, making the drinks, cleaning glasses and taking payments... the waitresses didn't seem to be very customer friendly and lacked any service skills which is a shame as that is not their fault. We reminded the waitress about our drinks and when they arrrived the one was wrong, so sent it back and waited even longer for it to be corrected and without an apology. No food check back and no atmosphere. We overheard the guy in the carvery complaining about a table of 50 people that arrived the day before, so everyone is really tired etc. Why would you moan about business infront of guests?! I am so sorry but I have worked in hospitality for years and whilst the food was ok, the service from the staff in general was totally unacceptable. The couple next to us ordered their desserts (special of the day: Eton Mess) it arrived and looked awful, the woman who ordered laughed as she saw it and didnt even touch it.. no fruit and artificial strawberry sauce and no cream. Yes its free but that was just embarassing! It was enough to put us off ordering a dessert anyway! We went to pay and as we were waiting the lad behind the bar said "he was leaving as the place was a joke". The older waitress stepped in with another girl with pink hair... the girl with pink said she didnt mind covering the bar, however the older waitress shouted at her and spoke to her so poorly and told her "no you won't I will do the bar you get back on the floor". I felt sorry for her as that is no way to talk to staff! The card machine then went down and a guy from the kitchen came and sorted it... by this point I had to leave as the atmosphere was making me feel very uncomfortable, so my partner stayed and waited to pay. He stated that the older waitress again spoke to the guy from the kitchen very rudely. As I left there was a queue out the door and I felt sorry for them having to endure what we experienced. The whole situation could have been avoided, if at the point of arrival someone explained that the service may be a bit slower today due to XYZ please bare with us. That way we could have the opportunity to stay or leave. Not keep letting people through the door and make the situation worse for yourselves and guests. We were there an hour total .. half hour waiting for service...20mins waiting for drinks and 10mins of us eating our meal. Such a shame as the place has great potential but sadly I won't be returning. Better staff training needed to ensure guest experince is paramount... number 1 rule in hospitality, so sort it out.

Have eaten here about 6 months ago and was really impressed by the food and the service hence why I returned and brought one of my friends here….. don’t think I’d visit again after today. Unfortunately today I could not have been left more disappointed. The most lacklustre service I have ever received. It took around 15 mins to get to order our drinks and carvery which was okay as we were chatting but it only got worse from here. We went up for the carvery and there was a bit of a queue which is normal, less meat choice than the last time we came but it was still tasty apart from the turkey which I avoided as it looked to be the ends left. We returned to our table to no drinks but we thought they must be busy so it won’t take long. We didn’t get our drinks at all and managed to finish our food and then had to ask a member of staff where they were. The younger staff just didn’t seem to be bothered at all and didn’t even do the simple things like take dessert orders or even clear plates. We had to wait and ask a passing waitress to take our dessert order after waiting for 15 mins. The couple next to us gave up and actually left without ordering theirs as they couldn’t be bothered waiting anymore. There was a middle aged blonde woman that was lovely and was working really hard but other than that it was a poor show. No one asked us how the food was. I found it okay but there was no stuffing, no pigs in blankets and the carrot and swede mash was very mustardy. Which is a stark change from the last time we visited where it was so plentiful and tasty. The till system had crashed or broken so this caused a massive queue to pay which just added to the whole experience.

Cleanliness of one of the waiting staff was disgusting, coughing into a stack of menus from table to till point and putting them straight into the holder then handing them to the next customer s through the door. Not giving us the menu for puddings again, missing options off the menu we probably would of chosen and enjoyed more, Cola was bottled and flat, not much in the way of friendly service. We weren't told what we do once ordered the carvery, we just sat at the table and waited until we had to ask. Normal procedure is being told when ordering ro go straight up or getting a ticket. The puddings weren't great the ice cream was gritty, the muffin was warm but wasn't great, and there was a hair in it so I didn't finish it. The carvery was the only saviour, it was brilliant, generous helping of meat, yorkies were fab food on offer was great, didn't order off the menu so can't comment on it. I've heard good things about the fox and wanted to try it but won't be going again. Not worth the money we paid for the carvery in our opinion unfortunately, over priced for options, service and food offered.

The Sunday carvery is not as cheep as Mon-Sat deal but included a free dessert. We had quite a wait before being shown to our table. The few staff on duty were all extremely busy & were rushing around, clearing tables, serving drinks etc. We waited for at least 15mins for someone to return to table to take drinks orders, no one came so we decided to get our carvery meals rather than sit waiting any longer. Carvery had a great choice of meats & vegetable s. Our group of 6 all said that the carvery meal was super tasty but was let down as nothing was quite hot enough & this, really let the meal down & question whether to return for a Sunday carvery in the future. Maybe we were just unlucky, but being 1pm I don't think the food had been sitting on the servery for long. We eventually got a drink order sorted during the meal. Deserts were acceptable, nothing outstanding. Felt sorry for staff who were obviously rushed off their feet & needed more colleagues on a busy Sunday lunch time service.

Went in this evening 02/07/2024 for a carvery which was lovely . A massive well done to the young girl front of house doing absolutely everything from welcoming customers , serving behind the bar to waitressing she stayed calm and professional you are an asset to the pub . Considering the pub was very busy she single handed ran the front of house on her own she needs a pay rise.

Rather ordinary, acceptable but tepid carvery. Young staff, nearly devoid of conversational skills, never asked if we were enjoying our meal either. ( poor training?) price fair though. Atmosphere bland with jangly Pop music in background. Expected better of a pub in Chaddersley. Will go elsewhere next time.

Me and my wife have been going here for a long time now and wow hasnt it got worse and worse each time! Frozen yorkies which were rank complained about them saying they were overcooked awful service rank carvery well over seasoned and too salty tasted like sea water. Our two year old has got the runs now!! Chef needs sacking can't cook for the life of toffee the staff can't be arsed waste of money and time never going back again very frustrated and disappointed shambles

Used to eat here a good few years ago when living in the area. We returned here today with friends and were really disappointed at the service we received. Waited for about 20 minutes to be served then had to ask where our drinks were after another 15 minutes. Our friends ordered from the main menu and we ordered the carvery. One meal came out and was the correct order, the other meal wasn’t what had been ordered. There was nobody serving the carvery so we had to wait, by this time our friend had nearly finished his meal. We noticed staff standing around and talking for quite some time and when we asked to be served with our carvery we were told that they were in the middle of cleaning the kitchen (at lunchtime) When we finally got served the person serving said he was sorry but they had a lot of people to serve. They were busy but not overly and if they were busy why were they standing around/cleaning the kitchen? All in all this place appears to have gone downhill since our last visit and it’s put us off returning. When we eventually got our meals they were very nice.

£71 for two of us for calvery Meat not all that good Nearly £7 a pint First and last time Toby and Stonehouse better quality and value

Fab carvery, good choice of food.

Food was not very warm, not a brilliant choice of meat, not much left . Vegetables had been left out too long. Not planning on returning any time soon.
