On arrival you find a few dining tables between the reception and some sofas. Not very inspiring at all. It looks more like a hotel lobby than a restaurant, which in fact is what it is, the hotel lobby. Even if apparently they were fully booked, we were the only people seated to eat. Visibly the staff were more interested in talking between themselves than serving anyone. As I said we were the only occupied table, so having waited for some service I had to go myself to get the menu from the two girls chatting behind the bar. Having got the 'cocktails menu' and took some time to choose, we gave our order (after going to find someone to give it to) and she looked at us and said 'we don't do cocktails ! and then just walked away !, obviously it was beyond her intellectual capacities to tell us that when she gave us the drinks menu. Finally the food arrived - which was a surprise because the food was 'good', it would seem that the chef, who seems to be the only person thats focused on any remote sense of quality. Bravo to the chef ! very well presented and delicious. Conclusion, the chef is probably long gone by now i imagine (to work in a real restaurant, where he belongs), but even if he is still there, there is zero atmosphere and zero service.

Estábamos luchando por encontrar un lugar para una pequeña reunión después del funeral de un padre muy anciano. El Lincoln nos atendió brillantemente ya un precio razonable por un agradable bufé de dedos. Era bastante más de lo que necesitábamos, pero todos recién preparados y nos cuidaron muy bien, ¡en un momento en que necesitábamos eso! Para ser precisos, nos acomodaron en la Sala Verde. Otra cosa: llegamos temprano y fue muy agradable estar afuera. ¡Pensé que sería ruidoso pero fue genial!

food was lovely but rushed by staff that obviously had better things to do, food actually was amazing.... they knew we were going for a romantic meal, but didn't make it special as requested, lovely view of the cathedral, well it would have been if not blocked by closed blinds.!!!!

Amazing food. I was very very pleased with my visit. I was served by a woman called Emma with blonde shoulder length hair and glasses. She was so lovely and welcoming! Gave me exactly what I wanted unlike last time when I was served by Sharon who I found to be quite rude. There was a good selection of food that was reasonably priced. I’m very happy with this service. Thank you. Also love your cream cake!

Poor service, order was not taken until we had been sat for 1hr 30. When food was served, potatoes and veg were cold except where gravy was poured. Starter was not as ordered. Altogether a great disappointment for a Fathers day meal.

Went to the Fox with 5 friends (couples). This pub is close to home however we dont tend to go in there often. The night started well, drinks were flowing and we were having a good time. We overheard one of the bar staff asking for illegal substances, one of the group made a passing comment, and another lady (presumably the owners wife) stormed upto the table stating she'd be "watching us like a hawk". We calmly explained that we thought she was directing her hawk like vision at the wrong group and maybe she should assemble her nest a tad closer to home... She was clearly and unfortunately intoxicated herself (professional for working behind a bar, I know) and demanded that we must leave after our next drink. Despite working behind the bar, she was outside drinking and smoking most the night, one of the group asked her friends for a lighter, to which her and her group said "do not answer"- as if we werent human or present. We are local people and felt personally attacked by the lady's mannerisms . Especially baring in mind she was a senior member of staff (owners wife!) We put plenty of hard earned money in the pub tonight and were left feeling like criminals, we even volunteered to be searched to prove our innocence, which was promptly refused. All we wanted was a few nice drinks at our local pub for a change and were left feeling like outsiders by individuals (staff) who are clearly incapacitated and incapable of deciphering between drug users and young working class persons trying to enjoy a drink. At the end of the night I went to talk to the actual owner about how we'd been treated, expecting some clarity and lord forgive me for asking but perhaps an apology. Baring in mind this man is supposed to own several pubs, he seemed to have absolutely nil sense of customer service and even though he wasnt in the pub most of the night night was talking to me like I was in the wrong, solely due to his intoxicated wife (staff member) giving him an extremely one sided version of events - which were totally incorrect. One of our group didn't appreciate the way he spoke to me, and was rude back - as anyone with a backbone would be after the way we were treated tonight. He raised his voice and declared us all barred, despite me talking to him politely and calmly, all he was worried about was that he'd had a long drive, not that us as a group have lives, problems, and jobs too. Its unfortunate that a pub in such a good location treats its local punters so poorly after spending a small fortune in their unkept pub. Other than us, there were two people in the pub - I now understand why. I appreciate there are two sides to every story, however other bar staff have since said we were treated unfairly and that the owner and wife were extremely rude to us as a group. Its disgusting and people like this should not be running a pub. Until new ownership is found we wouldn't dream of returning even if the man (who'd through no fault of ours had a long drive) thought with a level head for a second and decided to unbar us. We are young couples who felt discriminated against through totally poor judgement tonight and what was supposed to be a great night out with friends for a change has been morphed into a poor display of total incompetence by its own owners. This pub is always closing down/re-opening and with owners as such it would come as no suprise to happen again. Hope new ownership comes and we can make the Fox a proper local.
