The Walton Fox in South Ribble

Enjoyed a beautiful Sunday Roast in the sun. The food came promptly and was served by the lovely staff - very helpful and accommodating. Initially we didn’t receive our Yorkshire pudding but within minutes it had arrived. We also tried the iced chai latte, unique flavour but made well. The portion size is good for one person with accompanies on the side.

Ellie served us our food and drinks and provided phenomenal service - she was very polite and friendly and is a credit to Walton Fox.

We had a lovely evening meal at the Walton Fox. Pleasant, friendly and efficient service from Beth and delicious food cooked by Alisha and Imogen. A relaxed atmosphere and we were never made to feel rushed. Thank you for a very pleasant experience.

Great food, Terri was lovely! Sticky Toffee was yummy.

People were fab food was decent

Grace's customer service was amazing throughout. Portion sizes were so generous and the pan fried lamb was delicious! I was made to feel very welcome whilst eating alone on a work stay, nothing was too much trouble. I don't live in the area, but would definitely return with my family for food again.

This was our second visit and on both occasions it was excellent. The service from Ellie was prompt and polite. Our food was cooked to perfection by Alycia. I had the sea bass and my wife had a chicken burger. A thoroughly enjoyable meal in a pleasant environment. The beer is also good, I had a Wainwright Golden Ale and we both had the house red, a very nice Merlot. I would not hesitate to come back. The price was fair and the service good. Thank you

Lovely pub, great food and Ellie,our waitress, made us laugh and really made it a great evening. Wish we had such great pubs ‘down south’.

Brilliant food, good atmosphere, gets very busy so booking is advisable

Great service by Hannah and Alisha

Lovely meal , thanks Alisha, and well looked after by Thea. Very pleasant evening.

Lovely service and tasty food. Tasteful decor. A stop over at the Prem next door but feels like a country Inn. Thea was friendly and professional. Will use this location again

Ellie looked after us today and was amazing and Paul made us a delicious meal. We would highly recommend.!

2nd visit absolutely delicious again. Ellie was very attentive and Paul makes perfectly crispy roast potatoes and succulent beef. Thoroughly enjoyable and very reasonably priced. Superbly clean and a jolly atmosphere

Fantastic service from Lisa and team xx

Nice atmosphere, served by friendly waitress, Thea, excellent food

Dreadful food. Fries were overdone and cold, the chicken burger was indistinguishable from Aldi frozen burgers, the fish was dry and tasteless, and it was extortionate!

Wonderful lunchtime menu and lovely welcoming staff. Will be back!

Booked a table for Mother’s Day. It was very busy but we were seated straightaway. Took a couple of times to query a drinks order for 2 of the party. I have a garlic allergy which was known to them when booking. It was mentioned to the server as well. Was advised all starters had garlic so I asked for some bread. Wasn’t offered an alternative starter. Was served 2 slices of plain bread with 2 triangles of butter and which I was charged for on the bill! (Was taken off when it was queried). Was told I could have mash potato as the roasts had garlic. Didn’t get the mash! the turkey was thick slices & dry, the carrots were soggy and it was bland with no flavour. This main meal was taken off the bill after I spoke to the waitress. Disappointing meal. Staff were great.

4 of us came for Mother’s Day lunch, the food was great & service was exceptional! Highly recommend & we will be back ☺️

7 of us came for a family meal. Waited 45 mins after ordering then one meal to arrive 15 mins after the rest and undercooked. Requests of omissions from two of the meals ignored. Drinks re order forgotten about and had to be reminded. All desserts served with cold custard. Will never visit again. Staff seem overwhelmed.

We went to the Walton Fox this evening to celebrate Mother’s Day. The food took over 40 minutes to arrive. One of the party ordered the pie is the day when this arrived the pastry was raw and white. Drinks were ordered and they arrived with a 20 minute apart. However the food was cold when served and the only thing that was hot was the coffee. As such we will never return to this venue.

Enjoyed the food, service was great, found menu a little limited. Served by Beth

Great meal , had slight hiccup with one meal, but sorted so so quickly and efficiently, really tasty, just love this place.

Visited midweek and was impressed with the atmosphere, a lot of people in also with a nice setting. The food was ok, had fishcakes and katsu curry, we also had the belgium fries which were excellent. We used a voucher which meant the food was very reasonably priced, however without this probably quite expensive. Would visit again if there was an offer on.

The food is honestly really nice however the prices are of mild extortion, 18.75 for a katsu chicken curry in which the portion size was half more than I would give to a child is unbelievable. Without the discount voucher we had the price would have been close to £100 and it really just doesn’t feel like that kind of place, I could go to Flamin grill and get the same quality meal for half that price. Don’t get me wrong there was nothing physically wrong with the food other than my pizza had cheddar cheese on rather than Mozzerella which I found a bit odd, didn’t bother me but would likely bother anyone who is even 5% Italian. Our server, Terri was brilliant hilarious and lovely I can’t fault the staff for any reason, I just cannot fathom some of the prices. £8.75 for tiramisu that I could get at half the price at an authentic Italian restaurant. Either way I would probably return for a special occasion just not very regularly at all.

Typical English country pub on the outskirts of Preston close the the M65 Motorway. Was packed out when we called on a Wednesday around 6pm, thank goodness we booked. Food nice but several items not available on the menu, well it was busy. Lovely large battered fish and crispy chips. Very disappointed with the dessert of passion fruit & mango Eaton Mess as it was really just a plate of whipped cream with a couple of white chocolate buttons a couple of pieces of meringue and a drizzle of mango & passion fruit coulis. I would have preferred it in a glass dish, more meringue & white chocolate, with some fresh mango pieces with the passion fruit coulis. Very poor vegetarian options; chickpea burger, tomato pizza, lentil cottage pie or salad.

Delicious hot food, decent amount. Swift delivery thanks.

3rd time here - food was divine. One of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. 5 star service from Natalie and food cooked by Alisha & Luke. Will deffo be back

Have been many times before but was very disappointed with our recent visit. Staff ignored us as we came in, not even any acknowledgment, a quick” hello, won’t be a minute” would’ve been sufficient. Food was awful, cold and inedible. Scallop, king prawn & crab starter was tasteless mush, katsu chicken curry was over cooked and rubbery. However the steak was good 😊 Sadly not a great experience all round so won’t be returning.

Ellie was lovely gave us recommendations for food, the pie was amazing. She served us with a smile and couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommend and will be coming back for the fish and chips (her other recommendation) soon!

Served by Lauren, really great food and fantastic service. Thank you

the bread was soggy on the bottom bun, maybe an idea would be to assemble the burger ourselves with the bread separate

Great food and service was excellent by Lauren.

Lovely food by Alisha and great service from Lauren. Thank you

Excellent food, excellent service. A warm friendly atmosphere and a good selection of drinks/food available.

This was the first time I've visited The Walton Fox, the food was amazing and the staff are amazing here (big shout out to Tiele!) Will definitely be returning 😊❤️

Nice meal, very good service from Ellie, nice atmosphere. Fish cakes not available on menu so slightly disappointed but enjoyed everything none the less

Good food and there's no rush to get you out when you've finished eating. Decent prices as well

Very attentive staff, food was good and service excellent. The place was very quiet but that was due to an accident on the M6 area .

Called yesterday without booking but the Manager was able to accommodate a table for six of us without any fuss. The food was lovely and service was first class. It was our first visit but we'll definitely be back.

Lovely building, great service, thanks to Ellie our server and Alisha in the kitchen.

Great family meal, food was served quickly, hot and tasty. Service was friendly and spot on. Impressed. Will definitely call again if I’m passing.

Food by Alisha was great. Service from Ellie too was brilliant

Ellie our server was so lovely and accommodating. No request was too much for her. Great night, great food, highly recommend.

Fantastic meal and great service

Wonderful meal cooked by Serif and the service by Thea was perfect. Lovely evening with fabulous friends. Really recommend.

Food was great! Thea, who served us, was lovely & provided fabulous service!

Very disappointed with the quality of my order and the lack of it. What's happened? Its not the cheapest of meals which is why I have it on Sundays. Last week's serving was minimal but this week really was sad looking . I'm a good, loyal customer but feel like I've been treated very poorly. What a huge shame.

Fantastic food, excellent service from Thea :) reasonably priced for the food we had. Overall a lovely experience :)

We had a meal here on Saturday night and the food was lovely, cooked by Shyia. We were served by Thea and received brilliant service, very polite and friendly. We will be back again.

Good service and a nice place for a drink. Good staff very helpful.

A very enjoyable evening at The Walton Fox celebrating a friends 50th Birthday. Our waitress Terri was very helpful and friendly. The food was lovely and although it was busy the service was spot on.

Great local with tasty food and very friendly staff.

Brilliant service from Terri - and food was delicious (thanks Alycia). Very good value courtesy of welcome discount too!

Fantastic food and wonderful service from Terri. We hadn't booked but they accommodated us at a busy time. The drinks and food service were fast. The food was delicious and hot. Really friendly staff. Will be back soon.

Lovely food, service is friendly and quick. Great for when staying in the nearby premier inn

Ellie was really helpful , really appreciated

Alycia was lovely and helpful - very funny and friendly too

Lovely food as always and great service from Ellie

Beef was a little overcooked for my liking but nevertheless it was tasty

Lovely food. Great service from Ellie.

Very good, we had the steak pie which was tasty and hot with lots of gravy. Would definitely recommend. Ellie our server was lovely

Ellie was an amazing waitress and very attentive. Thank you again.

Lovely place, kind and friendly staff, very tasty food! Well done Louise and Paul the chef, beautifully cooked sea bass fillet.

Delicious hot food and delivered swiftly.

Great lunch spot, seated really quickly even though it was the height of the Fri lunch rush, served quickly and really good food.

Excellent service and food today. We were served by Terri and Shona. The food cooked be Serif was delicious and service was quick. Really friendly and bubbly, looking forward to returning :)

Great pub grub in a nice environment and very friendly service

Had a small family meal, can't fault the food or service.

Been for a meal tonight, absolutely delicious food and fantastic service. Been back tonight and it was still fab! Terri was an excellent server, and the food was lovely thank you Shyla!

The service by Terri was superb!! And the food was excellent and cooked by Shyla . Great night x

Food was amazing, I had the sticky chicken to start followed by the lasagne. Cannot describe how nice and rich the lasagne is! Definitely worth a try. Staff were lovely, our server Terri was friendly and always checking how we were. The chef Sherif did an amazing job. Will absolutely be returning

The food is always superb here, served by Terri who is always a ray of sunshine. Food cooked by Serif was fresh and extremely good. Recommended dish is the lasagna.

Wonderful meal out with the family. I had the fish and chips with mushy peas, the fish was fresh and cooked to perfection also the chips were crispy, just how I like them. Followed by a banoffee desert. Everyone else enjoyed their chosen meals, even the children and one of those is very picky with what she has. The staff were warm and welcoming, a lovely atmosphere all round.

Freezing cold steak and chips terrible

Excellent service, enjoyed by all

Megan was absolutely brilliant - the food was gorgeous and the service was fab!

had a lovely meal here! Louise was so lovely and helpful:) thanks all

Nice,historic building.Cosy places,stylish interior. We tried steak and aubergine, it was so yummy ☺️ The staff members really kind and helpful,highly recommended for couples,families.

Lovely place to eat and service was amazing. Was served by Terri, lovely lady will definitely return.

The food is excellent with very nice friendly staff, good selection of food and drink with table service in the restaurant side. Easy access to motorway. Only draw back is slightly small car park but there is more room close by. Not sure if dogs are allowed but they have a bowl outside which they'll fill, outdoor seating pond view. 10mth since last visit. Refurbishment finished. Glad it's kept the rustic charm for a big place it's surprising intimate. Food was excellent and I got a heart shaped steak! Pure fluke I believe. Thanks for a nice peaceful and unrushed meal. The Walton Fox has become our go-to restaurant for the last 6yrs including having my wedding meal. We have several family members get-together here each year plus 2 anniversaries, and occasionally pop in with the dog. The food is A* along with the service. Today LISA was her wonderful self (true customer service), and I want to thank TERRI for some of the best sea bass I've ever had. Thank you all again, and see you at Easter 🐣

Arrived as a walk-in & was seated. After 40 mins the food arrived, but 1 meal was almost cold, so was sent back. Once heated, both meals were quite palatable. However, from that point attention was zero. We were never asked if everything was fine, and once finished the empty plates were left on the table. We had to stop a waitress to ask for another drink. When that was not forthcoming another waitress was stopped, and I pointed out our drink which we saw sat on the bar. At no time were we asked if we'd like anything further. It was only when I requested the bill did they remove the empty plates! Food reasonable, service poor!

We had a very pleasant midweek lunch here. The atmosphere was relaxed while the service from Terri and Natalie was efficient and friendly. Delicious food cooked by Serif. An all round a lovely experience,

Came here for a Sunday Roast. Absolutely tip notch, the food was delicious. The service was great, staff friendly. Trying to find an excuse to return

Excellent experience today, service was perfect, just the right amount of attention without being intrusive. My only comment is regarding food portions, as I don’t eat huge amount, I’d very much appreciate an option of a smaller portion size. The staff were fantastic regarding food allergies and reassuring of their processes. Will be returning soon.

Lovely meal was greeted by a lovely host, great menu Shona served me was very pleasant and helpful Meal arrived and was very tasty thanks Shula and Abi 5* all round 🙌🏻🥂

Great food and service. Have visited a few times and all staff are always accommodating and welcoming.

Great food and service whilst having lunch with family. Thanks to Terri, Serif and Shona.

It's a lovely looking pub but it's more of a restaurant with a pub attached. The beer is expensive so are the soft drinks but the decor and seating are comfortable. I find the staff efficient but a little gloomy like they work for a soul sucking corporation rather than a friendly local pub. The food is fine but also expensive. Great for a meet up but last couple of times Timothy Taylor and a couple of other draft beers not available due to beer cleaning it's a pub you should have more than one beer on.

absolutely beautiful and delicious

My first visit but not my last. I was greeted with a smile and shown to my table without having a reservation. The food was delicious and presented perfectly. The service was friendly and Hannah was very helpful taking the time to consider my hearing loss and explained everything clearly. The slow cooked belly pork was "Special" indeed.

A very pleasant place to have a meal

Had a lovely Sunday roast today & lovely staff Abbie serving us today. Always a lovely atmosphere here. Will be back soon.

Lisa was polite, attentive and informative. A pleasure to eat here.

Great service and food was amazing

Lisa was great. Very helpful and friendly. We’ll be back again

Excellent food, ambience and customer service. Thank you.😊

Beautiful food, lovely staff, great atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you so much!

Needed to stay in the area as I couldn’t get home with the storms in Scotland. I was warmly welcomed to the Walton Fox by Lisa, who was a fantastic host, really friendly. The delicious Aubergine Gratin cooked by the chef Shyla went down a treat with a great Malbec. A really lovely meal, in a great atmosphere. A great find!
