The Fox & Pelican in East Hampshire

This is great service and good staff

Roomy pub with a beer garden. Garden has childrens play area.

Ate here and all I can say is compliments to the chef, amazing food

Only popped in for a quick pint but this is a must visit place. Really lovely place, set out beautifully. Everything is clean and well kept. The play area outside is enclosed and looks great for kids, so perfect for families. Loads of free parking spaces. Staff are all very welcoming.

I liked everything very much. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great, the prices are reasonable, the service is great😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍 We will definitely visit again. I recommend it to everyone🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Had a lovely mother's day meal here today. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was the best meal I've had out in the last couple of years. Definitely recommend.

OK The service was extremely good 👍

I recently had a disappointing experience at The Fox & Pelican for Sunday lunch. While I had booked a table specifically, upon arrival, I found the designated area overflowing with dogs. Although the staff kindly moved us to the "non-dog" section, the issue persisted as patrons continuously brought their dogs into the public bar, leading to a domino effect of barking throughout the establishment. The overall environment became quite chaotic and frankly, unhygienic for a pub serving food. While I understand some establishments are dog-friendly, the sheer number of dogs (at least 15-20 by my estimation) significantly impacted the dining experience. It goes against the basic hygiene standards expected in a restaurant, especially one that prides itself on its food. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend The Fox & Pelican in its current state, especially for those seeking a peaceful and hygienic dining experience.

Happened upon this place on my way from visiting family and the atmosphere was incredibly fantastic, my server Ellie was kind and helpful and welcoming as I’d never been in the area before. Food and the quality was absolutely exceptional and can’t fault it at all! Value to portion size was great!! Thank you F&P and Ellie for making my visit memorable, will certainly be returning when I get the chance to!!!

The lady supervising during my visit on Sunday was rude, uninterested and should not be allow front of house.

The winner….for the Worst Soup of the UK 2024. “Tomato” soup tasting notes: bland would be a complement, chemically aftertaste with the character of a ex-carpet in a council flat forgotten about for several years. Rush when the chef brings out his first cook book.

Hi we had 2 x haddock peas and chips nice pint and my wife had water today took our dog in to bar area to eat no problem very nice food friendly staff nice clean toilets ,very nice good pub grub if log fire was on would have been great but still enjoyed and we will go here again 100 % Cheers Martin Val and Hype

Nice pub with a good vibe, including sports events showed on TV. Our server Ellie was friendly and helpful. 🙂

Food was OK but three of the 6 or seven mains were not available by 1:45 including the so called special. Seemed pretty poor provisioning for a Saturday lunchtime. I'd just check ahead to see if they have any lunch before booking. The have sport on if that floats your boat.

Such a fantastic local with great food and service. Proud to have it in Grayshot.

The roast dinners were fantastic, the service let the meal down.

After a long day took my daughter for dinner 18:00 on a Tuesday. For me, Chicken pate to start, toast was cold, the main which was beer battered haddock had been fried to death. They did bring gravy for my daughters chips though so forgiven. However, ordering desert at the bar one uses normal manners “may I have the fish please” to which the reply was “that’s ok” I’m pretty sure it’s ok, no one asked how my dinner was or I would of told them what is mentioned here. Can’t say it was very busy. Not very impressed. Wish I’d taken a picture of the nuked fish.

This is a nice pub in a nice area but it didn’t meet the usual Fullers standards. We ordered 4 roasts, the pub wasn’t busy- but they all arrived cold

Lovely meal the other evening with family. Service is always good and bad staff friendly

One man serving too many clients very well. He deserves 5 stars because he couldn't help it that the over-sll service was a little on the slow side.

Out first visit coinsided with the local Christmas lights switch on and Christmas market. This meant it was really busy. Live music and everyone wearing Xmas jumpers. We will visit again when life is less eventful. However, for a fullers, the food and drink were outstanding. If you are in the area give it a try.

Children’s menu was massively overpriced. Daughter had the pizza which looked like the type you can get for about £0.80 in the supermarket with a couple of slices of watery tomato on top. Also very small. Doubt I would take the kids here again to eat again, felt we were ripped off. Atmosphere was nice though so it’s a shame.

We meet family here a few times a year, great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Also dog friendly areas!!! Kids play area.

Pie and a pint on a Monday night Very welcoming and accommodating

Stopped off for A meal after A family funeral. Great place with great food service and staff. Izzy was fantastic and was chatting to is about her future trip to Thailand. Kariba who we believe to of been in charge was absolutely lovely. The Food was of excellent quality as was the wine and service. We will certainly drive back from Portsmouth to visit this wonderful establishment again. Izzy good luck with the trip to Thailand and we both really hope you have A fantastic time.x

Lovely food and wine and busy atmosphere. Shame that customers are vaping in the indoor areas - probably wouldn’t eat there again on that basis.

Loved my time in UK. This pub has unbelievable atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is good. Wonderful experience .

Lovely family/dog friendly pub, well worth a visit

Beautiful pub that very nice service. I highly recommend

Mate held his 50th there great food child friendly, lovely staff

Nachos consistently good - ratio of toppings very even. Vegan AND non-vegan nachos alike. Good vibes.

Kids food is the most expensive I’ve experienced and charged me £1.50 for cheese on a kids burger! Very disappointing

I went there for food after a long day. What I got was a 9.3/10 meal, with 11/10 service, Ellie should be running the place, out-standing-ing. Shame they wouldn't play the football for us.

Great place with a relaxed atmosphere. Dog friendly . We had a great meal with excellent service.

One would think they would have warm air coming out of the hand dryer in the toilet by now; but that would cost them I suppose. Another poor decision by management but the bar staff are always polite & friendly.

Lovely staff and great food. A bit crowded, but that's to be expected from such a nice pub.

We have always liked this pub, so decided to have a meal on the spur of the moment after walking our dogs nearby. We ordered the trout salad and Ham egg and chips. The latter was lovely, but the salad was terrible! The rocket was limp, as it would be if a few days old and left in the fridge, and very sparse on the plate. The dressing was non existent. The trout had a nice flavour but again was dry and seemed like it had been sitting around in a fridge for a few days. Sorry to write this but for as pubs are struggling to attract customers I feel they need to offer a consistent and decent standard of food. This was around £45 for 2 pretty basic plates of food, a shandy and a beer. We wont be back for a while as we would rather spend the limited amount we have to eat out somewhere where the food is better.

Food was rubbish and over priced. The Ham Hock was chunks of left over ham microwaved, served with McCain style oven cooked chips. The Trout Salad was a bag of rocket with some thin slices of smoked salmon, there is a difference between between trout and salmon !! Over priced rubbish and taking advantage of rich locals. STAY AWAY

Rubbish food, a complete rip off, and over priced. The Ham Hock was chunks of old ham microwaved, with McCain oven cooked chips. The Trout Salad was a bag of rocket with some thin slices of smoked salmon. They are ripping the rich local off, and I would rather go to McDonalds.

Really great pub to go for a drink and hang out, one day I'll try the food too!

Stopped off by chance and found this amazing pub. Great garden. Nice staff. Great food and THE best brownie I have ever eaten. Definitely worth a stop off!

Comfortable lounge with so so play area for youngsters. My meal was bland and expensive- food let my visit down.

Really good food pleasant staff and nice atmosphere would definitely go back

Food was nice enough. Not huge portions. Big downside was the inflexibility of the menu / staff. Along with several other meals, ordered a plant based burger, the menu stated this came with chips. When I asked if I could swap the chips for sweet potato fries ( same price on the sides menu ) was told I could not do that and would have to purchase the sweet potato fries as an additional side. I questioned it and was told in no uncertain terms that this was not negotiable. Pretty penny pinching from this pub chain. Wouldn't recommend if you have any special requirements. Disappointing

The food was okay; if they cooked the burger for longer it would of been very good. (Given the price, I’d expect a bit more.) The pints were delicious and full; nice for a drink on a hot day. Main reason for 3*s was the customer service; waiter had a right attitude on him.

Roast dinner. All the Vegs were undercooked and hard. Meat was fatty. All in all, it's not a good meal.

lovely pub lovely food lovely staff great outside space for children to play but also for adults to sit and enjoy the weather

Pleasant and popular town pub in Grayshott with fair sized car park and both inside and outside seating areas. Did not dine so cannot comment on the food.

The food was not good for the price, with little effort being put into the vegetarian menu items

A really wonderful place. Very friendly staff, good service, great food especially the burger which was the best I’ve ever tasted . Tasted some tartar sauce and it was sublime. I would thoroughly recommend this place

Fabulous Pub. Celebrated our daughter’s 21st here yesterday. Looked after wonderfully .Great food. Great time was had by all !

Lovely pub with a buzzy atmosphere. Great food. Great garden with plenty to keep the kids occupied while you relax with a refreshing pint

Good food great staff. Brilliant looking building .

Staff were lovely, and the roast dinners are the best in the area!

Nice pub, with good selection of drinks

Really nice pub, had a meal in there with my daughter, it was delicious, the staff were very friendly and the prices were excellent!, I would definitely recommend this place 🙂

Always great service and warm atmosphere

Really good food and excellent service by all the staff that arranged our joint 60th Birthday celebrations .

A very friendly atmosphere, very clean, we went for lunch after walking round waggoners wells

Roast Pork was delicious, generous size portion

I was visiting family in the area and was over from France. We stopped for lunch and had the fish & chips with minted peas. The batter was crispy and the fish tasty, also the chips were great.The staff were friendly and helpful and the lady at the bar brought our drinks to the table Overall a great Pub and would recommend eatin there.

Painfully disappointing roast. The pork came without crackling despite being listed on the menu. Yorkshire puddings were so overdone they were like stale bread. The mains and the starters came at the same time despite us asking to come separately. Mains came out after 5 minutes which was a bit strange. I'm all for speedy service, but that's a bit much. Turkey was unusually dry. Which is saying something, becuase turkey is dry anyway. Stuffing wasn't nice to be honest. They got it all wrong, way too many herbs, tasted like soap. Other than that... Decor is nice and staff friendly. Lovely fire place. But wouldn't get food again there

Unexpected sweetness. First pub we could find as we were working locally and the food was really good and staff super friendly.

Popped in for the first time after a very long walk. The staff member serving us was a delight. We ordered from the sandwich menu (sausage and onion ciabatta and filtered coffee) which arrived quickly and was very good quality. Would definitely return for something more substantiak food wise. The atmosphere was very conducive, cosy but not cramped. The front bar next to the fire would be ideal for a quiet drink contemplation.

Lovely quiet luncheon today. Fish and chips delicious...

Food and service are usually amazing here which is why travel out to grayshott on special occasions. Everything was lovely and freshly cooked but drinks took a long while to be served and mains came out straight after appetisers and starter . Did not stop us enjoying our food although the Mushroom bourgignon contained more carrots than mushroom on this occasion.

We stopped for a pint of Guinness after a lovely Sunday walk. We were told we could go outside as tables all reserved! One of the tables was reserved for an hour and a half away. I am sorry we thought this was disgusting, it was a freezing cold day and we just wanted a quick pint. Could we not have even sat at the bar. We will not return to this pub sadly.

Busy country pub selling quality fare. Efficiently served our large group and a lot of others too.

Pleasant staff,nice surroundings

Been here before but don't remember a ridiculous online booking system. I booked a table a week ahead no problem, but had to wait for confirmation. I did this 3 hrs before closing and I needed a response by closing. Needless to say I never got one so had to cancel.....what a pretentious system.

Great staff, good beer selection, nice atmosphere

Staff were great, really attentive and dealt with an allergy enquiry well.

Great pub! We love the menu and bar snacks. Christmas menu looks super enticing 😋

Large friendly clean pub, amazing food, Tues eve was busy but they accommodated us, even when our booking for 9 people changed to 19! Nothing was too much trouble, very happy, will go again.

To start, I would like to be fair and say that I have eaten at The Fox & Pelican many times, and have always been impressed with the food and service, which made my recent experience all the more disappointing. My wife, son and I went for Sunday lunch yesterday, and my eye was taken by Crispy Pork, which was described as containing soy and chilli. I therefore expected to get some pork that was crispy, with some fairly punchy and aromatic vegetables as an accompaniment. Well, the pork may have been crispy at some point in the past, but when it reached my table it appeared to be coated with some sort of soggy flour and breadcrumb mixture. The accompanying vegetables were over cooked, retaining no crispness whatsoever, and so bland that they appeared to have been boiled for several hours in unsalted water. Chillis or soy had clearly never been anywhere near the dish. I ate the meal because I was hungry and it wasn’t actually inedible. I made my disappointment known to the staff, who apologised, saying that they had many trainees working there. A great pity that the author of my lunch fell into that category. I didn’t expect not to pay, as I had eaten it, more fool me, but I did think a complimentary pint would have made amends. However, nothing was forthcoming, and unfortunately my previous certainty of being able to go to the Fox & Pelican for a very good meal has now been lost.

The best pie Ive ever had! And my husbands lamb was equally incredible. I usual soak my veg in gravy-no need here. The veg alone were delicious enough alone, no extra gravy needed. We are both very big food fans and can highly recommend the food AND service here.

Good range of beers. Friendly staff..Nice outdoor seating

Our favorite pub in the area, Loads of outdoor seating, it has a great country pub vibe inside and there is a wide selection of beers and other drinks. Food has always been great too, the roasts are decent.

A fine pub with excellent staff.

Staff are always polite & friendly but are obviously instructed by management to say ‘ card only payment as it is Fullers policy’. Fullers say it is not their policy and never has been. If other businesses in the village take cash payments why can’t this pub? Very annoying if you are just buying one drink or packet of crisps on a trip to the bar.

Nice pub with car park and garden. Warm welcome on arrival with friendly and helpful staff. Two had fish and chips which was delicious but the two that had the chicken schnitzel didn’t eat it as it was horrible. We had a nice time just a shame about the food

Nice local pub with great seating indoors and outdoors. I was there on a Sunday and the menu is slightly different, essentially more Sunday roast options. I had the vegan options, they only had 1 starter/sharer and one main, which was a burger. There are a few side options, which were fine. Service was good and food arrived in a timely fashion. Side note, mobile reception is bad in this area which may be a blessing but they do provide WiFi. My friend enjoyed his roast and my vegan meal was fine but nothing exceptional.

Great pub. Food was amazing. Just didn't tell us the some of the menu wasn't available.

Great little find on our trip, food was delicious lovely atmosphere and friendly staff 😊

Lovely decor, nice staff, really nice food (perfect chips!). Only let down by the portion sizes that were too small considering the higher price. Dessert lacked an item which they had run out of, but they served it anyway and only told me about the shortage after I queried it. There was no offer to substitute the item, or discount the bill which was a shame. Sometime I will try the pub again but not before visiting the other options in Hindhead.

Food good. But not all items on the menu was available and as there wasn't much on the menu that was a shame

Very fancy pub :) nice food and I like my ale:)

We visited today for a family lunch. Friendly waitress and all seemed well. However 2 of our group had roast lunches....really not good at all. Turkey was a tough slab of tastelessness, potatoes tough and chewy, and stuffing had 3 shards of bone in which...

Passing through and decided to stop for a drink and a bite to eat. Wife had a burger which was a little on the small side compared to many of the gastro pubs we know, but very tasty and probably quite sufficient for most. I had a pizza which was on an ultra thin base and therefore not too bready and bloating. In summary, food was good quality and fairly priced. Portions were perfect for a moderately active middle-aged couple but if you have a large appetite then you might want to over-order.

Had a nice lunch in the beer garden, and there's a climbing frame and slide for the kids.

Very good selection of beers and plenty of places to sit

Typical British pub has great big garden.

Clearly from some other reviews “ recollections may differ” however for us all good. You order from the bar with your table number. It’s a pleasant setting with decent outside seating including some covered ( ie sun proof) areas. Not an exhaustive menu but enough...

Food was over priced and below expectation. Service was average. A disappointment compared to other Fullers pubs that I have visited.

I haven't visited Grayshott in years..but had to find a place to suspend time ahead of a 'sad' service at nearby church. Staff were switched on and attentive...impressive..Having personally had to shield in previous pandemic..I sat outside with NO concerns. Toilets clean and surfaces clean..Food and Beer prices realistic.. If you find space challenging post covid..or want safe and considerate hospitality..this is a place that ticked every box..Well done..

Nice place to spend an afternoon

Took the family for some lunch and drinks. The food was really good even the kids are it. The size of the meal was good slightly on the expensive side but you are paying for the location aswell which made it completely worth it. Drinks...

Really nice place to go to an friendly staff that couldnt do enough for us I would highly recommend

Went there for a table booked for 18 people, friendly team and amazing food!! Catered for the whole party and I know where I’ll be eating next time I’m in Area brilliant service.

Food was OK. I had a burger which was average. Disappointed that the waiting staff didn't offer any sauces.
