The Red Fox in The Vale of Glamorgan

Un attentive staff, Luke warm Sunday lunch, didn't feel as if the custom was wanted, over two hours to order and eat one course, including fifteen minutes waiting for a dessert menu which we gave up any chance of ordering and asked for the bill. Had to go to the kitchen twice to ask about our food. Very disappointing.

Terrible place not very well organised, sat to close together we could have had a bigger table. The food was of poor quality, greasy and cold. I will never go there ever again.

We hadn’t been here for a couple of years. Pleasantly surprised at the updating. We had Sunday lunch. Beef and the pork dinners excellent. Good helping of meat and wide range of vegetables all of good quality. Staff pleasant, attentive and made us welcome. Will definitely be back. Book early as it gets very busy from about 2 pm

New to the area so have been trying different places for Sunday lunch. Service - good Atmosphere - good And that’s were it ends. So starters, wife had the mussels and I had pulled pork and smoked cheese rissole . Mussels ok , rissole mostly potato, could hardly taste the cheese and of the four bits of pork in it, one was hard fat. Overall needed seasoning. Mains, I had the beef and the wife had the pork belly. These well ok but thin pieces of beef and hard to chew pork. Strange tasting Yorkshire puddings and roasted potatoes under roasted and tasted cheap. Then to tap it off we paid extra for a very small portion of cauliflower cheese for £4.50 to then see the tables after us getting more than twice as much. Now dont mind paying for good food and service but £70 for two starters and mains, a lager shandy, half a cola and a side of cauliflower cheese is a bit much for just good service, sorry to say.

Our visit today was awful… the food was cold the presentation was dreadful I don’t know how they let it leave the kitchen…… when I spoke to the woman behind the bar which I presume was the manageress and told her there was a problem she didn’t say a word , just gave us the bill …. Nobody asked us if the food was ok not helpful at all , definitely would not recommend this restaurant as the staff were not vey friendly or helpful and the food is not up to a good standard or value for money

I drove past this pub and thought we must try that place It looks stunning from the outside especially at night Inside is cute and exceptionally clean The food didn’t didn’t disappoint and the choice was excellent The staff are a real credit and we can’t wait to visit again

We visited the Red Fox today for the first time and we were bowled over…cannot believe we haven’t been before but we will definitely return! Had a lovely friendly welcome from who we thought might be the landlady who greeted everybody as if they were family….loved the Christmas theme with the lights and I imagine it’s so cosy in winter with the log fire roaring away! We didn’t have starters and thank goodness because the main meals are very generous portions. We have the salmon and the foxy burger…both were delicious. We are both pudding fans and had the crumble and the sticky toffee pudding…again both delicious..the staff were amazing, friendly and helpful….we felt very much at home and can’t wait for a return visit. If you haven’t been, you will not be disappointed

Visited for a meal with our daughter and son in law on Saturday, we were well pleased all round, will be going back for sure, highly recommended. Pleasant staff who couldn't do enough for us. Its just a pity it so far from where we live or we would probably be regulars. WELL DONE RED FOX

I cannot recommend this pub enough! The welcome you get makes you feel like a loved family member! All the staff are amazing and the husband and wife owners are so friendly and kind. You will literally be welcomed with a massive hello shouted from the bar as you walk in! We go once a week and the quality of the food is amazing. The Sunday roast especially! The prices are reasonable for the quality of fresh food served here. The inside is decorated in a cosy “Christmas time” vibe with fairy lights everywhere and even Christmas trees. In the winter there’s a real fire and in the summer there’s a lovely beer garden and also reclining chairs out the front also. Every visit is like coming home! My wife and I absolutely love this place, and you will too. Ideal for a family celebration or a consistently excellent Sunday roast.

decided to try it based on its #1 position for Cowbridge restaurants and the excellent reviews. We were not disappointed, each constituent part of our meals was full of flavour and the portions were substantial. The menu is nicely varied, between us we had chicken (plain and Cajun), Cod and Salmon which were all superb. A mention for the landlady who has a lovely personality and is rightly enthusiastic and proud of her establishment. We will return

Another fantastic sunday meal out.food was lovely as usual and staff are fantastic. Highly recommend

Great country pub. We went for Sunday lunch around 2 weeks ago and the food was great, service was friendly and prompt. Knocking one star off as my dessert (apple and cinnamon crumble) wasn’t to my taste and the cauliflower cheese could be cheesier. However I would certainly come back again

Incredibly friendly staff with a welcoming atmosphere. We attended as a family of four during Early September. The social distancing measures are very good and the staff wore masks - we get very safe. The FoxBurger was amazing !

Absolutely thrilled with the service and food at the red fox! The sirloin steak was honestly outstanding,filled with flavour and cooked to perfection. Other members of my group had duck and curry and said they were to die for. Rarely review places as I often forget but this was unforgettable, and I have to show my appreciation and support to the red fox for doing so well during these uncertain and stressful times. Staff were so attentive and polite, would 10000% recommend to anyone!!

We stayed in Llysworney last week and had dinner and drinks at the pub on the Wednesday evening and it was lush!!. The pub is clean, serves great food and drinks and the staff are fantastic. The next time we are back in the Vale of Glamorgan we will definitely be making a trip to the Red Fox...

Eat here this evening on the eat out scheme. Nice traditional country pub in a quiet village. We had the Duck Confit, Camembert Wedge and Steak & Chips, steak was cooked to perfection, however not the leanest steak I have every had. Also had a couple of desserts, very nice. Worth a trip off the beaten track.

Fantastic location, very friendly welcome, pretty garden! Phoned ahead to book a table just for drinks. Made to feel very welcome.

Fantastic meal here once again!! Always welcoming staff there who can’t do enough for you!! Great choice of meals and looking forward to coming back in a couple of weeks!!

Fantastic food. Excellent friendly atmosphere and the staff and owners are just great. Always guaranteed a good meal.

Food was lovely.But service very slow.Chef looks very overworked and under payed!place gone downhill

Went here for my father 60th last night, nine of us! I haven’t been to a place that was so inviting and the staff couldn’t do enough for us in such a long time, Rhydian and the team were brilliant such a lovely place! I would highly recommend here to any one. I am fussy but the food was lovely, I didn’t hear one negative thing about the venue or the food. I will be back again keep doing the amazing job guys and girls

We ate at the Red Fox with a group of 5.Welcomed with open arms by Georgie, the night became a superb evening of happy surroundings, superb service and wonderful food.The old pub is a must-go and thoroughly recommend the Beef and Ale Pie.We will absolutely be back to this amazing pub

Lovely fire welcomes you on a cold night and the landlady is a ray of sunshine. You can not ask for a warmer welcome. Staff polite and friendly. There is a bar area which consists of a small area where the locals hang out and an eating area for bar meals. There is a more formal restaurant area but still maintains a homely feel. There is a varied menu on offer and the food excellent and portions generous.

There have been a few people in charge over the decades, as you can expect, but you need to know that the present faces are the very best, and this review is about them, forget the past, its not relevant. They give the warmest welcome in the Vale, probably the universe. Take it with open arms, don't be shy. On the other hand if you want to quietly sup a pint, you can do that too, and there's often a warm fire to settle near to.As for the place, the bar is small and there are just a few tables, but the restaurant can handle a busload of people, so its worth taking a chance on getting in when you've not had the foresight to book ahead. But try to book, it give everyone in the place an idea how many to expect.Its perpetually Christmas here. The twinkling lights are up all year, and as its an exposed-stone building, the dark interior works well in summer and winter. Its old, its not a gastro-pub, or a bistro, or an auberge, its a country pub. Cosy in winter, and cool in the summer.Yes, there is ample parking, yes the plates of food are ample, and yes, there is a good choice without being silly. I've got to admit that the calorie-counters will need a bigger calculator, but some people like to over-indulge when the eat out. And you can always share.I'm not sure a pub could be any better. Its doing absolutely everything well, and long may it do the same. Bravo Fox, bravo Red Fox.

I haven’t been to this place for many many years and returned today with a friend and my young Son. It was lovely to find George and her family still running this traditional, cosy pub. The food was just as good as i remembered but what was better was the service. My 5 month old Son was unwell and crying throughout most of our meal and George and her staff couldn’t do enough to try to help and to make us feel welcome, while some other guest were a little less understanding! I myself would probably have rolled my eyes before I became a Mum but I now know how terrible embarrassing and upsetting it can be when you can’t settle a usually happy and content baby! Thank you George and staff - totally outstanding hospitality. A family run pub that stands out from the rest!x

Visited recently with another couple as our first visit. Staff were very friendly and ambiance was lovely. Excellent food choices. Brie starter was huge and would have been happy with half the portion size. Shame that the fries are frozen - would have been lovely to have homemade chips or sweet potato alternatives. You come to expect frozen chips in the big chains, but the smaller village pubs surely could offer better. The only negative was that we didn't feel the toilets were particularly as clean as they could have been. Hope to revisit again.

We visited The Red Fox Inn for a meal on 5th November as a party of 8 golfers and had a brilliant evening.Very warmly welcomed by George who looked after us superbly all evening.Excellent choice of good quality meals and particularly impressed with smaller portions option for main meals.That way you can manage 3 courses!!!!Good choice of beer and lovely homely ambience.Got talking to the locals who made us feel very comfortable in their company.Our first visit to The Red Fox but definitely not the last.Hope to see you soon.Thank you very much.Diolch.

......warm and comfy, with good pub grub. Nice happy staff, popular with the locals too. Big car park, wood burner so cosy. Good portions and tasty food. Well run. Recommend!

Though The Red Fox is sort of the local pub being in the nearby village for various reasons we don't get to go in there very often but we popped in for a meal yesterday evening . You could say it was to celebrate England's victory over the All Blacks but really it was to have meal out at a reliable pub and we were not disappointed . Good welcome , busy but not overcrowded , and good food . We eat in the restaurant part rather than out in the bar but it's all the same menue We shared the mackerel pate which worked well . Lasagne was lovely and my sirloin steak was just right . I made the mistake ? of ordering a peppercorn sauce and to be honest didn't need it there was plenty of flavour there already . But don't let that stop you having peppercorn sauce if you want it . Sticky toffee pud and cheese cake followed , if there is a criticism the cheese cake could have been larger . Overall a lovely meal and good to reacquaint ourselves with The Red Fox

beautiful pub lunch with a friend. very cozy, couldnt do enough for us. the ham and parsley was stunning. and who wouldnt order from the huge selection of desserts. loved it

Just had a gorgeous roast beef Sunday lunch with the OH. This is a rare treat as he is out fishing nearly ever Sunday throughout the year. There was lamb, pork, turkey also on offer plus a veggie option or fish and chips (had that before, also great). Nice selection if desserts, it has to be Sub Zero Icecream for me every time. OH had chocolate brownie, I pinched a but it was lovely.

Made an impromptu visit to the Red Fox after some shopping. It was somewhere I’ve always wanted to try.

I can't compliment this place enough. A Great welsh pub, just the place to pop in for a midweek meal out. Always a warm welcome, lovely atmosphere and great food. Theres a great menu choice with lovely homemade curry, pies, salads and the most amazing faggots not forgetting the cheesecake.

I drove past the Red Fox whilst delivering for my work and thought it looked interesting. I searched and found it on the internet and made a reservation for 5 via email with no problems - a quick response too.

Visited once 34 yrs ago. Returned this weekend whilst out shopping

We've been visiting the Red Fox for years and have had countless great family meals there. The menu is varied, there's always a couple of guest real ales to sample and the value for money is excellent.

After a very warm welcome from Georgie, we were shown to our table. Everything lovely and clean. Food was lovely with no complaints from any of our party of Seven. Enjoyed drinks in the garden afterwards. Lovely pub and friendly staff. Home made gravy and light crispy Yorkshire puddings would have been a five stars. We will visit again even if it is a forty minute drive. Thanks again.

The pub looks the business and has a good car park. Our experience was: MARKS OUT OF 10 Welcome 9 Menu 8 Ambiance 6 Service 8 Food 8 Value 8 Total out of 60/ 47 So all in all well worth a visit

Excellent food, wonderful welcome, special service. I can't think of more than two places that MIGHT be better.

Absolutely great little bar/Restraunt. Small bar but also lounge. Great selection of food and would recommend the specials as they are something else. Very large portions also, wife had to have small portion. Wide selection of drinks including some real ales. Highly recommended.

We had supper here for the first time on Wednesday this week. The staff were really pleasant and friendly. The food was excellent! Chef cooked everything we ordered to perfection. What a gem! We're coming back next week!

Invited by friends whom I recommended we went elsewhere due to poor service and food experienced last couple of times we had been to The Fox. Well where do I start..Booked table of eight for 1.15, arrived at 1pm, sorry table not ready, finally sat at 2pm, drinks order wrong, starters wrong, mains can only be described as 'cr@p' undercooked, cr@p chips, dirty glasses, Very apologetic Red haired lady, when bill came we had been overcharged, smelly toilets! Don't bother!

Very disappointing will not be returning. Had prawns as a starter which were plentiful and enjoyable, no bread though which I thought was strange as usually when I have this as a starter I always have a small amount of bread. The main course arrived after quite a delay and was not hot enough although the new potatoes and cauliflower cheese were boiling. Plenty of meat if you could chew your way through it, under cooked carrots and red cabbage came with the meal, the cauliflower cheese was just enough for two people not the four of us, didn't bother with a desert.

My wife and I went here and had a great Sunday lunch, I had Lamb , my wife had pork. The vegetables were great plenty of them and plenty of gravy, atmosphere was great and the landlady is happy to see everyone, well done all at the Red Fox .

Gorgeous pub. Inside is festooned with fairy lights and has the essential log burner.

We visited this establishment back last year and had the most wonderful meal that we’ve ate out in a long time so hence we went back for a second time recently.

went for sunday lunch last sunday i had the lamb dinner,it was terrible the lamb was all grissle could not eat it. the pub has gone down hill big time with standard of food and cleanliness.shall not be going there again

Booked one Sunday for a late roast and had a nice relaxing experience. Greeted warmly by the hosts and seated in the bar even though we would have preferred the restaurant area on the side (maybe I should have said something but my fault I didn't). We all enjoyed a good roast and I was glad the nice cauliflower cheese was included as opposed to being an extra! They serve roasts much later on a Sunday which suits us as not everyone wants to eat early and I did notice a lot of people were coming in even later than us.

It was very busy but they managed to squeeze us in at the back. Unfortunately it was quite drafty and we both got colds that evening but cannot fault the food nor the service. Just make sure you sit somewhere warm!

We came across this place by accident last weekend and we were blown away by the generosity of the food quality, quantity and the overall hospitality of the owners. A few tables away a group of ladies were enjoying a birthday lunch and they were treated so well and with real spirit.

We've just been for lunch at the Red Fox Inn near Cowbridge. Had two courses (main and pud). It was quiet at lunchtime. People were coming in after 2.30pm expecting food still to be served (states on the website food all day on Saturday so I under stand their disappointment).

We called in the Red Fox after being recommended by a friend. We were greeted right away by a lovely lady who was very cheery and friendly.

The Red Fox is in an idyllic pretty village close to where I live. We only called in for a glass or two of Prosecco following Christmas shopping. The restaurant was busy of what looked like happy customers. There were friendly warm staff who were attentive and service was good. The atmosphere was warm and cosy and it was lovely to see staff friendly towards each other. Easy to park as ample parking, I will definitely visit again and try the menu.

We have been there several times for Sunday lunch, we always have a good meal, friendly staff, and the service is great.

Pub had about 16 covers so there was atmosphere. Landlady managed to get our small order in before a large party of 8 otherwise we would have to have a long wait. Fish good, best part was the beer. Lovely fire. Xmas decorations up!

Good food, warm welcome, convenient parking, on outskirts of Cowbridge and close to A48 road. It is best to book as the restaurant is very popular, especially at times such as Christmas.

A wonderful, family friendly, pub in the quaint village of Penllyn. Superb, friendly service. Great food. Really good beer selection. Space out the back for mini football kick about for the kids. Well worth a visit!

I love this country pub & the landlady is absolutely fabulous. The food there is lovely & plentiful. My only criticism is that the menu hasn’t much choice for vegetarians & no vegan choices. If there were a better choice & vegan options I would take my vegan friends there

Sat out in the sunshine in this little tucked away pub in Penllyn Nr Cowbridge. Really worth a visit for both the food and the ale.

We were looking for a place to eat in the Vale, following a matinee show in Cardiff. We had all but forgotten about the Red Fox, and decided to book it at the last moment.

Visited pub for meal following walk in the lovely surrounding countryside. Visit started so well, great beer, decent food and exceptionally welcoming landlady. Then took dog outside for a stroll and was confronted by a gentleman who described himself as the landord.He took exception to me walking dog in the pub garden. He was both rude and agressive. Fair enough if the dog is not wanted in the garden however there are ways to talk to people.I won't be visiting this pub again.

Enjoyed a 2 course lunch there recently and it was delightful .Good food and service and wecoming hosts .I shall return soon .

My husband and I had a delightful meal at the Red Fox. We were greeted by a lovely lady who was bubbly, polite and nothing was too much trouble. We ate the steak and ale pie and chicken curry which came out piping hot and generous portions. They certainly didn’t skimp on the meat, lovely!!! The atmosphere was warm and cozy with fairy lights above us.

Me and my partner went for Sunday lunch on a whim. Had a very warm welcome and chat with the lovely landlady. Service was great, the food was very good (juicy chicken and perfect veg). Great atmosphere with a lovely country feel. Looking forward to returning!

Decided at the last minute to call in at the red fox and was not disappointed, it was very busy but a great atmosphere, the lady that served us was so bubbly and had lots of extra info about the food and wine , would definitely go again.

Came back here last week . Have not been here for a couple of years . The Pub is still fantastic . lovely landlady . The food is cooked just right . It was very busy lunchtime . It is a lovely country Pub in beautiful village. We will come back time and again . Well done to all .

Have visited The Red Fox several times for dinner and have always had fabulous service and food. The menu is good and there are specials. The french onion soup was delicious. Always get a great welcome and will keep going back.

I want a bucket full of what the landlady is on! So infectious, couldn't have been any more helpful even at the last moment increase in numbers for our table. My wife and I had the Sunday lunch meat platter, beef, lamb, pork and Turkey, all cooked just as we like, beef a little red in the middle, stunning. Plenty of vegetables and loads of very tasty gravy, and more if you wanted it. Really good menu with choice of roasts and the likes of fish and chips, and plenty for all types of tastes. Well recommended

Great food, always consistent, great people, lovely atmosphere, good idea to book ahead...we have always enjoyed it here...

Excellent pub, always made to feel welcome. Fabulous food and drink. Travel 40 mins each month to attend the quiz and have food. Owners are hospitable, very friendly pub.

Nice gentle atmosphere. Nice and relaxed. Pleasant country pub. Nice food. Obliging staff. Good value. Could do with more vegetarian choice though.

Visited early evening mid week and had a really great meal and experience.

We had gorgeous salads and fantastic service and atmosphere with a few girlfriends and very reasonable for a mid week tea!

We are aiming to try different pubs in the vale 1 a month and this was the first one we decided to try. I had never been here before and was not sure what to expect. We pulled into the carpark which is around the back and saw a very welcoming beer garden which would be great for those with children. out the front of the pub is another very good sitting area which is welcoming on a hot day. The pub inside is very good plenty of good seating clean and tidy. The landlord and landlady are extremely welcoming friendly funny and make you feel at home straight away. The food is excellent of very good quality and portion size is very good. I had the pie which was packed full of meat my son had the curry which looked good. My sister in law had the fish and chips which could only be described as enormous in both length and thickness of fish. We will be back

Lovely new menu. Great welcome, staff are attentive. Great specials boards too. Portion size is perfect. Desserts are tempting. I can recommend the specialist ice cream. Well worth a visit.

Always liked this place for good service,good ales and usually good food,had a bad experience a few months ago so would try again and give a chance,unfortunately nothing has changed,wanted gammon..not available,second choice steak and ale pie..not available.. ffs! Do they want anyone to return obviously not,asked for a pint of ale....run out...nice lady serving who was very apologetic.

We were recommended to go for a meal at the red fox, we went for the Sunday Roast Dinner, was not good as expected. Very sparing on the meat, one tiny new potato cut in half,2 small roast potatoes, a small cube of stuffing, small shop Yorkshire pudding, only small amount of vegetables,carrots,red cabbage & cauliflower cheese.

My family, friends and I regularly attend the quiz night at The Red Fox. We look forward to the monthly meet up. The menu used to only be curries but now includes other pub favourites which is great. The quiz is included in the price of the curry and there is a good atmosphere. I have never seen anyone attempt to use their phone to find out answers which makes it so much more enjoyable! We havr found the quiz has been starting later than it used to so it would be great if it could start a bit earlier again. Booking for the quiz night is essential!

We stopped here for lunch while out on our cycle ride. We have stopped here before and never been disappointed. Excellent friendly service and superb food. Definitely recommend the cod in batter. I even forgot my card and they let me pay when I returned home. A public house I always recommend to friends

I came home from Uni the other weekend and brought my boyfriend home with me. It was all a bit rushed owing to a family emergency. So I phoned George who was able to squeeze in a table for two. The pub was glorious as ever - very warm welcome, lovely ambience and super food. My boyfriend was so impressed with both the food and the friendliness of all the Fox staff. Thanks so much to you all xxx

Two for lunch in Feb. The landlady/hostess/waitress couldn't have been more friendly, pleasant and helpful.

Started eating out every Sunday for lunch and this was first visit here. Lovely welcome, very friendly staff. Food served...

Not been for about 12 months due to working away,have been before on many occasions with both family and friends...

Visited the red fox tonight to celebrate mum's birthday, the staff were warm and welcoming and gave great service. The...

Been here a few times now for Sunday dinner it’s always perfectly cooked and a perfect sized portion. Always have...

found this pub by searching for pubs online near llancarfen where were staying for 3 nights with our miniature schnauzer....

We attend every last Thursday of the month to the pub quiz. Great atmosphere, food very well priced and always a nice beer or glass of wine. Very friendly staff and fellow customers.

When your initial greeting (?) is just “are you booked?” accompanied by “we’re going to be very busy in 15-20 minutes” maybe you should just go, which is what I started to do but “Mine” yarded me back.

Advertising lunch service 12.00-14.30. Despite our constant customer support,on two recent visits we were told that the kitchen had “switched everything off,”” at 14.00 and on the second occasion, 13.45, the landlady said she couldn’t cope as she was serving on her own!! Julie, the helper has served on her own , on other occasions,and with many more customers. We won’t return. Competition is keen and there is an excellent list of local eateries to choose from.

Had Sunday lunch with the family to celebrate my birthday. We have dined here previously and this visit did not disappoint. Starters are generous and varied. When the main courses arrived the staff stated that extra vegetables were available. Service was prompt, polite and unobtrusive. We will be going back in the future and have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

This pub used to be fantastic but for some unknown reason standards have dropped. Our last three meals have not been very good at all. Fish and chips awful, fish watery and chips soggy. Thai green curry was absolutely appalling. One roast dinner meat was so dry it was just left. What’s going on?

Curry special that was not spice hot or hot enough.Recommended to try this after not having been for a few years but there are far better and cheaper places to eat locally.Sorry it will be a while before we are tempted back.

It was lovely to make a return visit to this restaurant with friends , We were shown our table seated and our drinks served without any delays as the restaurant was quite busy at the time.we had time to have a good chat between our selves while our starters was served we all chose the cheese brie and they were quite large portions, we all ordered different main meals which were also very nice I ordered a salad with my steak but I wish it was a little smaller as it seemed to take over the plate , we all had a lovely time here and the ambiance was relaxing and calm the staff were also really helpful and pleasant during our visit , the meals are all priced very reasonable and I would recommend this restaurant every time it is worth a visit , we will return soon,,,,

A traditional pub serving excellent ales and good pub food ....all at sensible prices.We had a good evening enhanced by the welcoming people involved in running the place.

Great for family dinners. We love the whitebait and the brie cheese starter.The meal sizes are perfect for pub dinners and are really delicious. My dad says their Grolsch is always a winner for him, never been served a bad pint. I would thoroughly recommend it here, the staff are lovely and attentive.

Been here a few times over the years. This visit was not great. The menu is limited to start with, but they were out of the thai green curry and lasagne which further limited the choice. Service was average and the place was empty. Won't rush back.

We visited this pub a couple of days ago . Lovely welcome by landlady . Food . Very good . cosy country pub in the most beautiful village . Would recommend it . Will definitely be coming back .

Visited this very welcoming pub last night with friends. We ordered a mixture of meals, some steaks, some fish and one special. All were nicely presented and all plates were emptied.The atmosphere was warm and friendly with a fire crackling away in the log burner.

We re-visited this pub after decades. On entering you are immediately standing at the bar. The welcome from the landlady is warm and hearty. Other staff are also friendly. They have a good range of beers. The pub is nicely decorated and kept. There is a restaurant through a doorway off the bar perhaps for evening meals. We both ate ham, egg and chips. Standard pub food. It was good but it was time for the chip oil to be changed. There lies the reason for the average marking. We will return in the future sometime and try again but it's not on our 'must do' list

The Red Fox is situated in a lovely little village which is just a little too far from us for a regular visit but is somewhere we enjoy for special occasions. We booked a table in the bar to celebrate a family birthday and as usual the food was fantastic. We enjoyed a range of starters but the deep fried brie with redcurrant jelly is delicious. For mains we had steaks, pie, Thai green curry and chicken nuggets for the little one. Each meal was perfect and served in a real country pub environment. The welcome is great with a fun loving landlady who goes out of her way to please. The food was washed down with very well kept ale and wine. If you are looking for a beautiful, well presented country pub serving top quality, often locally sourced food then the Fox is well worth a visit. They even provide colouring books and pencils to keep the restless little ones entertained.
