The Fox Inn in Cherwell

Lovely country pub , friendly helpful staff. Delicious beef ciabatta and chips, the main meals looked very appetising too. Dog friendly with Lovely garden. Will definitely be back

Had a lovely evening meal, Slow Cooked Wrightons’ Belly Pork, Buttered Mashed Potato, Black Pudding, Winter Greens & Bordelaise Jus. which was absolutely delicious. First time I have been to this pub, I found the locals very friendly and the proprietor extremely helpful. I will certainly dine here again.

Excellent old stone-built village pub. Hidden away in a cul-de-sac village, the Fox is a friendly, welcoming pub with good ales and good food. The traditional bar is divided by a wood-burning stove, creating a second, smallish room beyond. Two or three handpumps offer ales, some of which are from local breweries - Loose Canon featured at the time of our visit. To its credit, this place is not a restaurant - it's very much a pub; the sort of place where you are just as likely to see locals sitting and chatting around the bar as people dining. That said, the food is exceptionally good and well worth the detour to come and visit. Not cheap but reasonably priced given the quality, the menu includes such delights as pork belly and pan fried sea bass. We opted for duck, taken from the specials menu and much enjoyed. Highly recommended.

Don’t go. Halloumi sandwich with salad was rubbish! Even had the end of he lettuce in my salad. No interesting leaves just iceberg. Didn’t finish. Fish and chips were uninspiring and had an odd tang. Asked for no salt on chips and came salted.

I have made a review for this restaurant but have put it on the hotel review and cant remove it. Everything here was superb in every way Worth finding EVERYTHING excellent

Needing sustenance we fell upon the Fox Inn by chance and hoped to get a snack. It was paradise, the best pub I have visited for a long time, shame we didn't have time to stop longer. Situated just off the M40 we didn't want to stop at Bicester Services so drove down a lane a short way and found The Fox tucked up a small lane. What a waste. The landlord welcomed us in and was friendly and helpful. The snack we had was delicious and well cooked. The pub regulars made us feel at home, such a shame we live 150 miles away. Lunch is highly recommended but you will need to search for the pub.

This village pub has managed a takeout food service during covid-19 lockdown for the village. Many regular menu items plus specials each week. All with the usual 5 star qaulity and value for money. The specials have been great, and I'm sure most villagers agree that this has kept "normal" going in Souldern during these times. Hats off to the Fox Souldern crew - an asset to the village!

Stayed at the inn for two nights for family wedding. Staff were really friendly, room was clean and breakfast was great. Owner even drove us to the venue for the wedding could not ask for a lovelier couple of days would recommend the fox inn for accommodation,eating and drinking. Very nice people

Wanted a nice friendly pub with good food and service in the countryside halfway between us and my daughter and that is what we found in the fox Inn thank you it was lovely

Came here with friends for a pub lunch and couldn't be happier they chose this place.The owners are friendly and there is a really great atmosphere from the minute you enter.The food is great - good choices and proper pub grub - burgers/ scampi/ steak etc but all beautifully done with the most amazing chips - I shall be dreaming of them for some time! Desserts were also very good - choice of 6 and all large portions at a reasonable price.I think if I lived closer I would be here all the time!

After being let down by 1 local restaurant we saw the sign for The Fox Inn so turned off the ,main road to find this restaurant. We travelled down this country dead end road for quite a distance before we finally found any road signs for the pub. Once in the car park we went inside and asked the question do you do food tonight and the answer to our ears was yes. We ordered our drinks then looked at the menu , we ordered the sea bass and the Fox burger . The food came quite quickly and we were amazed , as said on trip advisor by other people the food is to die for. We ordered the trio of desserts to finish us off. By the time we left the restaurant there were a lot more people eating . Highly recommend this place which once you find it , it’s a treasure. Great staff very friendly and helpful.

Good atmosphere and choice of drinks and food. The rooms are very rundown, could do with an upgrade in all respects. The bed in room 1 like a trampoline !

La cuisine ici est surprenante et bien au-delà de ce que l'on trouve très souvent dans les pubs anglais. L'ambiance est familiale. Les patrons vous accueillent chaleureusement. La note n'st pas salée !

Popped in for a meal. Lovely food. Friendly staff. Nice area. Not too expensive. Would visit again if in area.

Called in for an early dinner before a later engagement and were well catered for by welcoming staff and landlord and very good food. Will make a point of returning again when we have more time to spend

After a dog walk we visited this pub for lunch. We all had the sea bass which was exceptional and perfectly cooked vegetables. The pudding , the trio which consisted of a chocolate brownie, treacle tart and creme brulee. The landlord was very friendly and we enjoyed his company; I just wish we lived nearer, but on the other hand the dog might get walked too much. One of the best meals I have had in a pub or restaurant.

The landlord and staff were very welcoming which was a perfect start to a really good Sunday roast (best crackling ever) and halloumi burger. We were looking for a pretty country pub with good food and scenic walks, and we found it here. We'll be back. Thank you.

We stumbled across this delightful pub on our way home and totally fell on our feet. The landlord was charming and squeezed us in for Sunday lunch. The food was exceptional-beef and pork with the best roast potatoes ever and the quantity and quality was outstanding.

Lovely little pub with good food and real ale. Mid week lunch was very quiet (just the two of us with the barman!). Much enjoyed.

Met all our many requests with professionalism and charm. The warm welcome was fabulous as was the food and the landlord went out of his way to help us with directions at the end of the evening. Lovely ambience and the garden was good too. Gin selection was a nice surprise. Overall a great inn with a real personal touch. A five star experience!

Stopped in here as we were so hungry. Didn't check reviews just needed food. So so glad we did, very cozy place with an interesting English pub menu. We had the haggis special and the sausages of the day which were pork and marmalade... Super delish. Good sized portion served with loads of vegetables. A little on the pricey side but you get your pounds worth of food, well cooked, all homemade and fresh! Eat here

We have had lunch here a couple of times now. Lovely food: starters, main courses, puddings and baguettes (with big thick chips) if you want something smaller. Nice rustic feel, a bit off the beaten track so you kind of have to know where you are going, but in fact only a couple of minutes from j10 of the M40. Table service has been great each time we’ve been.

Food is home made, fresh and tasty and the service was friendly. The menu is pretty straight forward but it’s done well. The pub is cosy, warm and welcoming. Would visit again!

Where to start - the room was horrible, stains on the carpet and walls. Bathroom wasn’t fresh and could be doing with a good clean. On the positive side breakfast was good but it was served at 7:30!

Was recommended here by friends as we were attending a nearby event. So I had booked a table in advance. Luckily we had as it is a very small pub with only a few tables. We arrived half an hour early and was given a very warm welcome and our table was ready for us. It has a limited menu but all the food we had was very good in both quality and quantity, particularly the burger I had ordered from the 'Specials' board. they also served well kept local ales which again was a bonus.

Visited for dinner with friends and everyone was happy with their meal

Although it's a while since we last visited we have dined here many times in the past. It's always been a very pleasant experience, good food and service which we've thoroughly enjoyed.

Stop here yesterday on our way home for lunch, menu was limited as I really fancied a ploughman’s or a sandwich but we settled on scampi and chips. When it arrived it was nice and hot but the side salad looked tired and slightly brown, but I think that’s because it was covered in salad dressing. The chips and scampi tasted of nothing and I think that they were straight out of the freezer into a deep fat fryer for 5 minutes and into our plate.

Delighted with this find, for a mid-way lunch meet up with friends living two hours away from us. We had booked a table just to be safe, but this was probably unnecessary on the quiet Monday we had chosen. Greeted with a friendly welcome from the landlord, who efficiently looked after our needs. There was a good selection of food, which arrived quickly and which was unanimously voted to be delicious. The Fox is an attractive building in a very attractive peaceful village, within easy reach of the M40.

Couldn't have chosen better. Very friendly and welcoming staff provided excellent service. Food was of superior standard, my son said it was definitely worth the drive just for the burger! Only a few minutes from the M40, junction 10 services, set in a quaint village - would recommend the short detour if breaking a journey. Will certainly return.

We dropped in on way from Kent to Cheshire for Sunday lunch- a very quaint little pub but wow! Great food, fab gin and beer options would recommend and go again. Only negative is the parking but that's because we have particularly long car. Would definitely go again!!

Gave this pub a try with the family and it was excellent.

A lovely pub..great beers on tap and the burger was superb...will visit again when next out this way..many thanks to the landlord.

He estado probando varios pubs en Oxfordshire con un amigo. El Fox en Souldern fue un viaje sorpresa para nosotros - qué suerte también! El propietario amable que claramente cuidado que estábamos disfrutando de nuestra comida. El chef apareció para ver cómo eran las cosas a pesar de prisa la hora del almuerzo en un día de primavera cálida.

Mi esposa y yo aquí alojados cuando visitamos su madre a llevar a una cita hospital. La reserva fue fácil y el registro fue en el bar. Llegamos demasiado tarde para el restaurante, pero nos dieron la cena que trajeron a nuestra habitación. La habitación era pequeña pero muy bien diseñada, con un baño en-suite. Organizamos un desayuno más temprano que era delicioso. Sin duda me alojaría aquí de nuevo.

Nos alojamos aquí en agosto, muy bonito pueblo con buena comida, las habitaciones eran muy razonables. La única pega es que creo,,,, una mujer toque en el lugar pero en especial las habitaciones lo hace mucho mejor y más acogedor, y un DUSTER DE PLUMAS!

Este pub vino bajo nueva dirección hace un par de años. Ahora es un negocio para eventos de negocios y este se encuentra. Es bonito y bien cuidado en la autenticidad de la superficie el fbut falta "mejorar". Un salto para un almuerzo rápido... y fue más rápido de lo esperado, ya que las porciones tan pequeñas. Un solo filete (muy bien hecha) lubina poner en una porción de nuevo pobre patatas, maíz baby y espárragos era sosa y no digno de £13 +. Un toque de pesto o espolvorear de perejil hubiera levantado. Estaba demasiado salado Scampi para dar a nuestro hijo, y llegó con algunos chips y algunas hojas de lechuga y era sobre los precios en libras 11+. No hay opciones para niños. Así que un poco de un zorro astuto de verdad. Precios, raciones y ejecución deben ser revisadas para competir con otras ofertas pub en la zona. Salvación fue el gerente del bar, que era agradable y acogedor.

After travelling down through the small village we finally found the Inn. No cars outside so we were not sure if it was open so we parked up in car park tried the door and it was open. Very warm welcome by staff withe a...

Un buen pub escondido en el centro del pueblo. Nos detuvimos para comer el domingo, el menú fue reducido de su oferta de semana pero sigue siendo una buena opción disponible. Teníamos la carne asada, carne hamburguesa y gambas, todo excelente, la hamburguesa y asado...

Llevé a mi hija y madre a este pub encantador del pueblo para comer el domingo.

We visited by chance this evening and were incredibly impressed. Extremely friendly landlord, bar and waiting staff. Excellent range of food at very decent prices. Our dinners (steak and camembert pie + confit of duck) were both first class - delicious. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Pretty much perfect.

Stopped here overnight ideal location for bicester and oxford , what a lovely place , warm welcome when we arrived shown to our room by lovely gentleman , room nicely decorated and nice warm , bed very comfortable , we had lovely evening meal , cooked breakfast was very good , also the fresh orange and warm danish pastries lovely , I would recommend stopping at the fox inn its a little gem , Thankyou

We met friends here yesterday with a baby and a small dog in tow and we were very pleased with the place! Very cosy and comfortable bar/restaurant area with log burner and excellent selection of food reasonably priced. We're not local but would definitely return.

We just stayed a night at The Fox Inn after attending a wedding nearby. The staff are without a doubt the friendliest, most welcoming, helpful and lovely people I've ever encountered! They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable, allowed us to check in early and leave late at no extra cost, and let us take food up to our room when we asked. We were even offered a lift to the wedding venue by the lovely man behind the bar! The room was small but cosy, warm and had lots of character. The bed was really comfy and I had a great night's sleep. It's in a beautiful location as well. I wish people were as friendly and accommodating back home! Thanks to the Fox Inn for a wonderful stay- you were absolute stars.

Did'nt get what was ordered on advertised Xmas menu. Asked where it was, was told there was none. Proprietor made a joke of it. Naff cold Xmas family dinner. Cold unwelcoming Pub. Very very dissapointed, 3 generation family

Have never felt so unwelcome or so uncomfortable at a pub before, very disappointing as we had driven all the way from London and were looking forward to a nice lunch with the family. Other customers were unfriendly and openly rude to my family, not allowing my 70 year old mother in law to sit down at an empty table next to them! We left without ordering anything and will not be returning. Beautiful location ruined by the people and atmosphere.

The Fox is a great place to eat with good ambience, delicious food and very good service.

This is my local but I don't eat here often, as we tend to cook. The food always looks good and we weren't surprised that it was excellent this evening. I had the baby back ribs and they were perfect. Topped of with charming service and Boltmaker

Amazing food and service. Incredible place. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Superb.

This was an anniversary meal and had heard some mixed reviews from friends but decided to try it out anyway. The atmosphere, I have to admit is great and the décor lovely but the service, food and comfort of the seating needs allot of improvement. The bench seating is very high in comparison to the table height which meant you were not able to relax at all. I have to admit the starters were lovely and we had high hopes for the main dishes; we were however, bitterly disappointed, I am an avid Thai lover, having visited the country many times and eaten in some great Thai restaurants serving authentic dishes. Our main courses, were smothered in heavy thick sauces which quiet frankly were reminiscent of a blue dragon packet sauce you buy from a supermarket rather than the delicate flavours which one expects from a Thai dish. I ordered a fish main and got given beef, the waiter forgot to deliver drinks when ordered and the tables were crammed in so you could hear everyone else's conversations, we had to talk in low voices as we didn't wish for other diners to hear us also. The Fox has such potential, a fantastic setting, very friendly staff if a little flustered when busy and the pricing of the menu good. What a shame they could not deliver on this potential.

Another good evening at The Fox with very tasty food and plenty of it. The Thai food is very tasty and you have the option of choosing the level of spice in the food which is great.

Visited the Fox for the first time recently for lunch. It has real character, the service was great and the quality of beer and food, first rate. It has also rooms, and does B & B, which would make it a good holiday or short-break base. Souldern is a delightful village on the edge of the Cotswolds. There are nice walks to be had from the pub too. We'll be back!

Took my parents for a meal to thank them for having my teenage son for a week, never an easy task! ! Lovely meal, attentive staff and good value.

I have been to this restaurant several times now but it always keeps you on your toes with the specials each month and the various offers throughout the year. The food is top notch, always steaming hot, very flavoursome - always complements for the chef. The service is also excellent, usually served by young college ladies (at a guess) BUT they all have exceptional customer service, always smiling and nothing is too much hassle - the restaurant either takes their hiring seriously or they is a good induction guidance given to the staff - either way full compliments to the serving staff - you do your industry proud! I look forward to my next return.

Visited The Fox for the first time 12/07/2015 after reading online reviews. We were a party of four adults and a 6 year old who chose from the adult menu. We were all very impressed with the menu choice and the food was superb (although two Thai fans struggled with the very spicy duck dish...however there was none left on the plate!!) We usually manage to find fault with most restaurants we visit, but on this occasion we were unable to !.......Says it all really.... will be back...have already recommended you to friends. Thankyou for a wonderful good value lunch with friendly attentive service.

Good quality food , authentic flavours and generous proportions. Staff very attentive but not over so . Excellent family birthday treat venue.

This was my 2nd visit and the Fox didn't disappoint. Fabulous food, beautifully presented, tasty & fresh. The ice-cream is outstanding too! Very yummy!

Good food, another real gem in our area! Always made to feel welcome here with a lovely country setting and atmosphere. Well worth a trip!

In need of a meal after long day National Trusting we spotted a brown sign and decided to investigate. The village pub look doesn't prepare you for the level of food available inside. The welcoming staff made us feel comfortable and the new menu made selection a pleasurable experience. The food was very attractively presented and fabulously cooked. If you want a great gastronomy experience try this Inn.

This is locals local pub, not a restaurant. We visited very early evening on a recommendation from our daughter who lives locally. She has visited before and likes the place. Lady H and I were not disappointed with her opinion. It`s exactly our sort of pub. The car park is small but on street parking is ok. Quite small bar area with some tables but does have a separate dining room. Mine host and staff are very welcoming and helpful. There`s a nice outside area and garden where ` littleies` can play. The food selection is good, from a few old favourite dishes to specials. The quality of the food is good and I can recommend the venison pie if it`s available. I`d say pricing is slightly above average but I like the quality and the ambience of the Fox. If you like beer then `Hooky` or `Grail` is for you.There is accommodation available, all en suite. Check out the web page, key in " the fox at souldern".Beware, this may be a small village pub but it does get very busy very quickly, because the locals love it. `Phone and check table/room availability.

An excellent meal with very good service, we'll be back.

We were looking for somewhere that was close to the M40, but not in the thick of it, and the Fox Inn was exactly right. Beautiful secluded courtyard in the full spring sunshine, and a wonderful sunny window seat inside when we wanted our lunch. The food was good, tasty and well presented and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Excellent place to meet and a really good excuse to meet for another birthday.

Set in the heart of this little village between Bicester and Banbury. Tiny car park, but on road parking easily available.Restaurant is also tiny - you are eating in the bar ... with (when I was there) quite a few people enjoying a drink at the bar .... so more a 'pub' meal than a' restaurant' meal.Vegetarian choice was very limited and all cheese based - so we had two starters instead of starter and main courseNot cheap considering the environment.With so much choice available locally, not sure I'd go again.

Walking into the Fox Inn, it felt as though we were stepping into someone's front room. The bounce was charming and cozy. Our dinner was absolutely gorgeous. We had three different dishes, one which was shared between my two young children. All dishes had completely different but delicious flavors. We finished off the meal with several different flavors of New Forest ice cream and sherbet, which absolutely gorgeous. Service was attentive, speedy and friendly. When we got the bill, we were sure there was a mistake - excellent value for money too. Wonderful place!!

This was a 2nd visit in 6 weeks. The food was good although the main course with king prawns was a little bland but the weeping tiger came sizzling and lots of beef. The only disappointment with the restaurant is that they are just too quick so it feels very rushed with little breathing space between courses. So I wouldn't recommend for those who want to linger all evening.

We were looking for a last minute place to eat and decided that driving 10 miles to this highly rated pub would be worth it. And how right that decision was. They had a roaring fire, superb bitters on tap and a fantastic menu of Thai food. We ordered, settled down to our pints and soon afterwards the food arrived. Great flavours, good looking food that tasted authentic and interesting. We loved their food so much that we made the 20 mile round trip again the next night!

The Thai restaurant at the Fox was very good - tasty food and good sized portion, friendly waiting staff and good price. It can be tricky to find this pub if you come from the A343 but easy through Charlton..

Had lunch in here during the week with a work colleague. It was OK, not expensive, not flashy, agree with the previous reviewer that the place was a bit cold and could use a spruce up.The food was fine, typical pub grub, definitely not gastro (that is sometimes a relief) staff were pleasant.Nothing to rave about, but nothing really to criticise ether. I am sure it is lovely in the summer.

The Fox is a wonderful out of the way rural pub. However, it serves excellent quality Thai food cooked by genuine Thai chefs. The staff were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The bill did not come as a nasty surprise - pretty good value. Table was by a roaring log fire on a cold January evening. Perfect. We have already recommended to friends and will definitely go again.

Well run pub offering Thai food. Ambience wins you over, the food is good and the beer excellent!. Not gourmet but a nice change from the same old menus in rural pubs these days!!

Stopped here on a Monday Lunchtime whikst passing through. We spotted the signs on the main road. Instantly made to feel very welcome. Lovely menu. Ordered Tart, soup and Fish and Chips. Came quickly, hot and generous portions and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. If you're passing, or live locally, make sure to go here! Delightful! May need to book! This is only going to get more popular!!:D

Quite shocked by the last review, we were there yesterday where they managed to fit in extra people in at the last minute (we were a party of 9). Helpful staff and very nice sunday lunch, would go there again anytime.Thanks for making my birthday lunch very enjoyable.

Went to eat there but felt very uncomfortable with chairs in the resturant. The place looks dirty and cold. We ended having just a drink and got out very quickly.

The food, ambiance and service are quite simply outstanding :)

To be honest, this was the third place I phoned to try to book a table for Sunday lunch for 9 people... It was our third choice, as the other places we phoned could not accommodate us, but we had had good service here, previously... I was initially, a bit disappointed as we were told where our table was but we weren't taken to it. We sat down and had no menus. We were asked if we wanted drinks but I had to ask for a wine list. I went to the bar to ask for menus. The menu was limited but was adequate for our requirements. There was no children's menu but small potions were provided, for children.Some of our party found the room we were seated in a bit chilly, initially... The oil lamps hadn't been lit and the lighting was just about good enough for most of us to see but one of our party was partially sighted and the entrance (down two steps) was very gloomy.I did not like the Merlot, on the wine list. Things did improve, as the meal progressed, and I was very pleased to have gluten-free Yorkshire puddings provided. (I would have gone for the beef if I'd have known this) but the lamb was very nice, anyway.The gents' loos are outside but the ladies' loo (there is only one) is inside. I don't think there is anywhere to nappy-change a baby and I didn't see any disabled toilets.The layout of the inn was difficult for someone with little sight but we managed, by guiding the partially-sighted person, by the hand.

Mixed feelings about the Fox, the food was good and waiting staff friendly. However, while we had booked 2 weeks in advance, we were shown to a table in the coldest room, right next to the door in an empty part of the restaurant that got no more than half full for the whole of the lunchtime service (28 Dec 14). Staff were happy that we moved table, but they continued to show customers to the tables v close to the door - Why? This left such a poor first impression that was almost impossible to recover.....Please think of your customers comfort - I wrapped a big scarf around myself for the duration of the meal.

Spent 2 nights here to fit around a hospital appointment.The room was clean if on the small side (fine for 2 nights), though plenty of cupboard space and large bathroom.The landlord and staff were helpful and flexible, including doing a late breakfast on Saturday.The food was excellent, home made, and very good value, good wine list. Lovely local pub atmosphere in the bar. Some lovely walks nearby, either into the woods above the village, or along the canal. Would be a great base for Oxford or Bicester trips.

Go to The Fox about once a month - always fab food and great service.

A very enjoyable meal, with friends, good food & generous portions. Good real ale too. Only a small oddity to comment on, we were initially given our main course with only saucers to eat off, this was quickly remedied, just a little strange!

From the minute we entered and sat down it was a lovely evening. The ambience in the place is welcoming, the customer service is friendly and attentive and the food was amazing.Potted duck, tiger prawns, sirloin steak, and rump of lamb (Moroccan style) followed by Eton mess and an excellent cheeseboard, all were very good and had brilliant flavour and were really professionally cooked. We'll be back.Best wishes and all the best of luck to the team at the Fox Inn, Souldern.

Small, cosy village pub, with excellent food and good service. Staff friendly and eager to please. A very enjoyable evening meal.

Due to the unforeseen closure of a popular restaurant on Monday evening we travelled to Souldern near Bicester and enjoyed an excellent meal at The Fox Inn.From the warm welcome on arrival the hosts were attentive and made our evening most enjoyable.The food was excellent - both the pork belly and the Moroccan spiced rump of lamb were as delicious as they looked. The house wines were excellent and inexpensive.We were advised that the pub had changed hands earlier this year and the new owners are obviously doing something right.We wish them well and we will return.

Popped in here with a colleague on the long drive back from a business trip (it isn't far from the motorway) and I'm extremely glad I did. The food is very well priced, both for the sheer quality and also the lovely atmosphere inside the pub whilst you eat. I had the Moroccan spiced lamb and found it impeccably cooked whilst my colleague had the burger and found the portion of the burger excellent - it easily set him up for the 4 hour drive back north.Added to that, the owner of the pub was extremely friendly and had a chat with us about our food and what we'd been doing during the day. It doesn't sound like much, but it was a wonderful touch that both myself and my colleague were very impressed with.Needless to say, if we were on the same route again, we wouldn't hesitate to come back. 5/5!

Last Saturday my wife and I attended a family get-together and lunch at a halfway point common to us all. It was a pin-in-the-map kind of arrangement and none of the thirteen of us had visited The Fox in Bicester before.From the moment we all arrived, the proprietor and staff looked after our various needs admirably.The lunch was a pure delight. Choices to suit everyone, hot food WAS hot and the quality excellent.We shall most certainly return - Thank you The Fox !

Very nice pub set in a very pretty part of Oxfordshire. Nice relaxed atmosphere where you can really unwind with family and friends. However, the best thing about this place is the staff! So friendly and accommodating. We arrived with two very noisy children and they made sure we had everything we needed and went out of there way to make sure we had a good time. Food is reasonably priced and tasty. Simple but good menu. Its not very big so I would advise you make a booking.

We were at odds and staying in the local area so decided to try this pub out based on previous reviews and we were not disappointed. Great service, very friendly and food was really nice. We were a little let down with the children's meals and almost wished we had bought adults course as the price was actually only a couple of pounds different but this didn't spoil the evening. Would recommend it.

Traditional country inn with nice food . Prices a bit on the high side for what we had & wine left on table unopened,for us to do.Nevertheless an enjoyable evening & a little oasis from the crowds of The Geand Prix weeken

This pub is under new management and it is now fantastic. The menu changes regularly, the specials are varied and good, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back!

We have been going to the Fox for about 7 years and am sorry to say I don't think we will go back. Their signature dish (the Fox Sandwich) has gone, one which we have taken countless friends to try as was so amazing. The rest of the menu reads like any other pub which is fine. The roast is not a patch on how it was previously and it all just feels a bit like an epic cost cutting exercise.But to top it all off, we arrived (5 people) at 2.01pm on a Saturday for lunch and asked if we could have a table. The bar tender went off into the kitchen, arrived back 5 mins later and told us they stopped serving at 2pm. There were 2 tables still eating so had potential of a dessert order and there were 3 tables free in the bar area (out of 7). Clearly not really interested in the business which is a shame as have really enjoyed visiting this pub over the years.

What a change. We came back after a disappointing visit to find warm and genuinely friendly staff. The burger and ribeye steak we had were so good we have been back twice! Fabulous country pub well worth the visit!!!!!

Out to lunch with my 90 year old mother, lovely surroundings, attentive staff, the food was beautifully presented & tasted divine. It has got my mas seal of approval so we will definitely be coming back! Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

The Fox is under new management, they have big plans and the food is absolutely delicious, service prompt and polite and the welcome very warm. Would definitely return!

Really worth a visit, I went with some friends for a relaxed Friday night catch up. Food was really good, the pasta main course was a little bit bland but nothing a little bit of chilli and some more seafood wouldn't sort out. Burger was lovely and the creme brulee pudding was excellent.Services was also great, despite our host being very new she made us feel very welcome and gave us just the right amount of attention.Give it a try for yourself!

The food was delicious. The menu is small, but of really high quality. We've eaten in some of the best places in Cheshire, but the food we had here was actually better. In terms of value for money, it's exceptional.The inn, like the village, is packed full of character and is filled with lovely, friendly people. We'd love to visit again the next time we are in the area.

A beautiful country pub with a menus that reads well. Whilst the food was a little disappointing we would have ventured back there for the venue. The service from the land lady was atrocious. Far from being made to feel welcome, we were made to feel like an inconvenience! However we have heard that the pub will soon be changing hands and will visit again then.

I live locally but not been in the pub before, so met up with some friends there and now i know why i hadn't been there. The menu looked quite exciting but the food itself is distinctly average, i had one of the fox specials which was ham and eggs and was served reasonable quickly but my friends who came in a few minutes after me had to wait ages for the food and again the best we could say was it was average. The landlady (poor women) was rushing around like a headless chicken and when i went to the bar to order another pint the landlord was more in love with his tablet computer and chatting to his mates rather than serving me and ignored me up until the landlady appeared at the bar area where he jumped to it. I for one won't be coming back in a hurry nor will my friends. Shame as it has the potential to be a gem...

It was my first visit to the Fox Inn which had been organised by my wife. We were greeted on arrival got our drinks and were shown to our table. The staff were very friendly and our order was taken very quickly. The food arrived and it was fantastic. My kids were a bit surprised when the pulled beef burger arrived, it was not what the were expecting but the soon made short work of them. The beef was melt in the mouth and the portion was more than ample. My wife had a wonderful tender steak and my beef stroganoff was lovely and creamy and full of flavour. Great selection of veg and salad. I will be recommending the Fox Inn to all my friends.

having eaten here many times over the years and been more than happy we decided to return to celebrate a family birthday with a lunch one Saturday recently. How disappointed we were. One of the party ordered from the specials board which was pasta with garlic bread and I ordered beer battered fish. Sadly this was not what we were served. The pasta came without garlic bread and when we told the waiter he said" I will let the chef know" but no garlic bread appeared. My beer battered cod was a flat piece of fish in breadcrumbs that appeared to have come out of the freezer and was not as described. Overall a disappointing lunch which wasn't cheap either, although we were prepared for the prices if only they had delivered as per the menu. Afraid I will need some convincing to return which is a shame.

As a part of five, including a 5-year old, we all enjoyed the food and two of us the cask ale.I had the fish & chips - really enjoyed it. Friendly service and pleasant 'country' atmosphere. Outside eating area looked pleasant (too cold for us!).

The Food was lovely, well cooked and presented, by friendly staff, who were very welcoming, This is lovely old fashioned , village pub
