Excellent range of gluten and dairy free food, it was fantastic to have a choice of food! The staff were really accommodating and very helpful. Portion sizes were generous. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next night!

We came for Sunday Lunch with friends. The food is amazing. The men had starters, soup & a very large prawn cocktail. Then we all had the mixed meat roast dinner which was delicious. Loads of lovely fresh vegetables & bowl of cauliflower cheese. The young waiting staff were very helpful & polite. We will definitely visit again.

Called on the off chance of a table n managed to get one . We had a mixed sunday lunch ( beef n pork ) and it was the best roast dinner that we have had in ages . Real roast potatoes and Yorkshire puds , massive portion size and the girls that serve are friendly and efficient in their roles , nothing was too much trouble. And to top it all its a free house so had lots of good beers to choose from .... look forward to our next visit

Great place! Proper cosy pub with "pub classics" menu done VERY well. We had the recommended steak and ale pie and it was sensational. The meals that arrived at the next table looked pretty good too! There's a lot of attention to detail in flavours as well as the presentation of the food. Restaurant quality pub food. Thank you 🙂

Nice food at a good price and the atmosphere was decent, the only mistake we made was sitting next to the door that people were in and out of. Also just go and sit down at a table as we were standing there like a couple of lemons waiting to be seated.

This is a family friendly place with excellent beer at a reasonable price, and good pub food served by friendly staff. Outside there is an excellent beer garden and play area for kids. If you are expecting much line starred food you will be disappointed, but their pies with their signature pastry fox on top are excellent and there is a reasonable vegetarian choice. It is a big favourite with my grandchildren.

Ordered and had the dish in under 10 minutes, with garlic toast that was fresh and hot. Amazing staff, beautiful venue, but dear damn the Lasagna was better than back home.

The menu gives good choice so for most people they will find something that they like.

We went for Sunday roast lunch which is advertised on their website. Once seated we asked what roasts were on and were told no roasts now as Summer menu is on. If we hadn't already ordered our drinks we would have probably left as the reason we went was for a roast dinner. The summer menu was underwhelming. Staff were pleasant and polite. Tables are packed in and hardly room to get by in some places.

Very friendly staff, very reasonably priced food. The food is not far off being excellent pub food, the Pie was decent,however I'm not a fan of a pastry lid although it did have a brilliant pastry fox on top! The Triple cooked chips that accompanied were plain bizarre. The wedges looked and tasted like they had started the triple cooking process some days ago. Very dry with a slightly black tinge and definitely not crispy. Fries accompanying mac n cheese were spot on however the mac n cheese needs plenty of work to make it onto a decent dish. So place the fries with the pie and you have an excellent pie dish and delete the mac n cheese off the menu. Curry was fine along with the accompliments, no check back, Desserts were excellent. Not too far off being a really nice place to visit for a bite to eat just a few tweeks required. Outside area looked great for warmer evenings

My wife and I had lunch here yesterday. Very pleasant and friendly staff. Good beer and food. We both went for the filled baguette. They were huge and well filled. I plumped for the sausage and onion. My wife went for the prawns. They came very quickly and with salad and chips. Thoroughly enjoyed! The pub and toilets were spotless. We noticed they had a large beer garden and field with children’s play equipment. I’m sure it’s very popular with families on warm sunny days. A proper pub in a delightful village.

Family gathering, pre-booked. Food an hour late; Luke warm roast meals, warmed up roasted potatoes, vegetables arrived as an afterthought; puddings likewise late to the table and not what was pre-ordered.

A lot of money for what you get, service very poor, no cutlery when served food which went cold when waiting, no alternatives for food couldn't eat just left off plate but charged the same, turkey very hard and tough so inedible, seemed as if it was overcooked in a microwave, custard portion minuscule with dessert, and left off takeaway one. Went home hungry and cold. No way good enough when it is costing £300 for the meal.

We ate at The Fox when visiting family nearby. And boy we were not disappointed in the slightest! The welcoming atmosphere was great and very friendly. The food was great, good portion sizes, and very good value for money. We were a mixed bunch of adults, children, vegans, vegetarians and big meat eaters - and all were very pleased with the choices! In fact it was so good we went back two weekends running!! The second time of visiting they had the BBQ going. Lots of choice for all again. Order your meat/Veggie/vegan choices, all cooked fresh for you, and help yourself to lots of different salad choices. They even had steaks (with a small extra charge) which was perfectly cooked! Couldn't of been happier! Lots of outside space/tables. A play area for the children and lots of space for them to safely run around! And not forgetting a very large choice of Gin and different flavoured tonics!!! Couldn't recommend this beautiful pub more!

Worst meal I have eaten for a long time. My chicken was inedible, so hard I couldn’t cut it. When I asked for French dressing the waitress looked confused and said they didn’t have any. The halloumi was horrid, small lumps of burnt stuff on a bed of lettuce with an unpleasant sauce. Seemed everything had been cooked in a deep fat fryer and left in too long. The Panna Cotta was not Panna Cotta but a lemon tart, but at least it was edible. Don’t think the cook knows what Panna Cotta is. Horrible.
