The Little Shefford in West Berkshire

Great for having a drink when you’ve got kids in tow.

Three of us lunched here on a Wednesday. I enjoyed ox cheek with salad, others had a Cajun chicken and bacon sandwich and an omelette. All were delicious. Service was excellent. We’ll happily return.

Excellent food and ambience... Lovely staff

Absolutely lovely Afternoon Tea box that was delivered to my door! What a wonderful treat and great service. Everything was so delicious and freshly made. Very professional and Colline is friendly and lovely! Highly recommended.

I arranged to meet family & friends here to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. I'd checked out several places that would offer easy access from the motorway for people coming from both north & south, had great reviews for food and service, and an overall attractive appearance. The Fox & Hounds ticked every box and more. Without realising at the time of booking, we arrived for 1 p.m. on Easter Sunday. Our food orders had been requested a week before at the latest, which saved time when we were seated, especially as a couple of people were late. I'd also had a late addition to our party just as I'd sent over our orders via email and although they were fully booked, the staff were good enough to add a place to the end of the table. The communication and accommodation of the staff was excellent. Upon arrival, we were made to feel very welcome with smiles and friendly chat. Despite the place being completely packed, none of our party of 11 could fault the food or service. The ambience was just right; no having to shout at each other to be heard. Everyone commented on how delicious their food was, from the kids fish & chips to pork loin, burgers, lamb and more. A variety of desserts were also enjoyed by all. The level of service was top notch, which was impressive considering how busy they were. As some of us were smokers, we spent time outside, which was beautifully presented with lots of tables and seating. The Fox & Hounds is a dog friendly pub, it's worth noting. I always rate pubs and restaurants by their toilets! In this case, they were nicely decorated and well kept, with hand wash and lotion, and good mirrors. There was a good selection of lagers and ales available at the bar, as well as wine by the glass or bottle and plenty of none alcoholic drinks. We also had jugs of water with our meals. We would all highly recommend a visit here.
