The Walton Fox in South Ribble

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.

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

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

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

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

Great service and food was amazing

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!

Missed off a main part of the order

Wish this was my local pub/restaurant! Always a pleasure to come here. Staff all lovely and welcoming and nothing too much trouble. Food is lobely especially when Sherif is cooking! My favourite place Keep up the amazing work Team and Happy New Year!

Lovely meal here last Thursday, served by Thea. Delicious hot meal by Serif, we really enjoyed the Seabass, delicious sauce, prawns and well cooked and the Gammon was also enjoyed. Lovely drinks with flapjacks too, all served quickly with a smile from the lovely Thea. Great service, we reserved a table with a highchair, nothing was too much trouble and I asked for particular veggie items for my 18 month old daughter to nibble and all was accommodated, much appreciated, really enjoyed ourselves in a warm and cozy setting, also dog friendly... I'd left the dogs at home on this occasion, but took them two treats from the handily provided jar at the entrance, which they loved!!

Nice staff and inside is lovely and welcoming. Food is ok but average, had alot worse but also had plenty better.

Food was great, Thea was a brilliant waitress and wonderful value for money

Delicious food & excellent & professional service from our server Thea.

Amazing food and fantastic service. 100% return again

Excellent service. Food was high quality. Speedy service

Great lunchtime meal at the Walton Fox. Well looked after by Lisa, Terri & Shona. Tasty food cooked Serif. What a bonus to get 50% off main courses.

Visited for an evening meal with two friends in December. Very pleasant would definitely go back. Good was pretty good for the price, we each had starters mains and desert followed by coffees. The place was quiet when we arrived at half 5 but was ram packed by the time we left around 9. Good value would visit again 😄

We went for our anniversary as we had our first date there a year ago. We had a beautiful meal and they even brought us a dessert with ‘happy anniversary’ written in chocolate. So thoughtful. Great service from Thea too.

Been here twice and always feel very welcomed! The staff are lovely and friendly and the food is brilliant! We were served by Lisa who was very accommodating. There was a slight mix up with the food we ordered but Lisa couldn't have been more apologetic. Fab fab fab! 😊

lovely food with a warm welcome and great service, thanks to Lindsay and Lucy we will certainly be back.

Cosy atmosphere, delicious food (including perfectly cooked steak), friendly service.

Great food, tasty. Good service from Terri 👍

Came in with the family for Xmas dinner. Food was amazing, we were served by Freya who was lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful. Great day, meal and service, thanks to all the team .

My last visit here was 10 months ago, which sadly led to a 2* rating due to food and service quality. Not today!...Such a difference. I was very pleasantly surprised with everything. The pub had a good relaxed atmosphere. A live singer was playing (didn't get the details), he was very good! Food was excellent (chef today was Serif)...as was our table service/waitress Thea. A very different experience from my last one and as this was a family meal, I did decide to give this traditional pub another chance. I am pleased that I did! There are so many food choices, alcohol choices and even dogs are welcome in the bar area and have their own menu (see photos). I can recommend the Calamari starters, Vegetable Wellington and Mini Chocolate Brownie - as all we faultless. The pub also offers a takeaway service as well as home delivery. Following today's experience, I would highly recommend Walton Fox and will definitely return again in the near future, whether that be for a meal or a coffee with my dogs, after a nearby walk either in the grounds of St Catherine's hospice or Cuerden Park valley. Thank you Thea for your professional and friendly service. Also compliments to Serif the chef !

Great food. Great atmosphere. Really welcoming, friendly and attentive staff.

Really enjoyed tonight, thea had been brilliant

I took my grandad here for the Boxing Day menu, nothing was too much to ask, Hannah our server was super friendly and smiley especially considering she was working on Boxing Day!! The food cooked by Ben F was fantastic, not a single fault and I’m fussy with food. Massive thank you. Also fantastic price for such lovely food!!

I came to the Resteraunt last night 24 th December after travelling from Majorca tired and hungry I was staying at the premier inn next door to the Walton fox Bamber bridge it was 8.30 pm I was informed by a staff member they had stopped serving food although they advertise food is served until 9.00 there were plenty of people still eating in the restaurant I had to leave and go without food big disappointment I would not go back after such a bad experience

Excellent burger, friendly but not intrusive service.

Just had a lovely meal out with my wife. Been coming here years . Never had a bad meal. Except for today definitely not the chefs fault. Had the camembert every visit. But tonight just didn't taste like it used to. Didn't eat it all. Tho this didn't ruin our night as the rest of the food was very tasty as usual. And the staff so friendly. Much thank you to Megan for your service tonight. Could not fault.

Nice pub. Good beer and bar snacks.

We both had the Sunday Lunch Turkey which was excellent. Our waitress Lucy was very helpful and charming... Great service as always in the Walton Fox....

Came in today with family and had great service by Lucy. We ordered off the festive menu and the chef paul, cooked us a delicious meal!

Just a Fabulous Festive lunch with the family excenent service and atmosphere thank you all Joe Fearon

We were served today by Thea, who was attentive and jovial. I had the calamari to start, which was okay, and the Mac & cheese with brisket which was great. I recommend it for the food options and the atmosphere especially.

Great service by Beth. Lovely food by Serif &Shyla

Had a great meal with granddaughter excellent service from Lisa and Natalie with lovely meals cooked by Serif many thanks Ray

Spent a delightful afternoon with family at The Walton Fox. Lisa and Shona provided outstanding front of house service. Nothing was too much ask! Enjoyed a Hunters Chicken dish and Turkey. The cosy, dog friendly atmosphere topped off a fantastic visit. Chef Shyla exceeded our expectations and the food was superbly presented and delicious. Would highly recommend a visit to anyone.

Great service by Lisa and Shona

Great service by Lisa and Shona, really good country style pub

Several requests at table were overlooked. However, they were soon dealt with efficiently. Everything else was enjoyable in the dining area. Unfortunately, toilets were not presented well, with signs of inattentive cleaning routines.

We had a meal from the festive menu. We were absolutely thrilled with the quality, the fresh vegetables were to die for. The meat was so tender. The starter of mushrooms and brie i could have eaten twice. Amazing food thank you Sherif! As for the service we couldn't have had better. Especially Grace. She was just so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Overall a fantastic Saturday lunch and cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you to all the staff and happy Christmas!

Lovely food, amazing service and friendly staff.

Lovely dining area. Food was average. Service a little slow.

Abbie was my server, she was really friendly and took care of all my needs. Great food aswell

Lovely homely place with good food

Lindsay and the team are absolutely fabulous!!!

We visited today with a party of 5 and very much enjoyed our visit. The food was very enjoyable, and the service from Terri was very welcoming and friendly. We would happily visit again.

The buttermilk Chicken burger might be the best chicken burger I’ve had. Lovely service and quick too!

Top quality home cooked food by Terri, great service from Lisa and the team and a relaxing festive atmosphere.

What a great pub. Atmosphere was great and on a cold wet evening it was Perfect. Service from Lisa and Natalie was perfect and food cooked by Shyla was lovely. Will be back.

Great meal and good atmosphere. Lovely staff. No cheese cake photo it wrnt too fast lol x

Terri was fab :-) and great food (thanks Shyla)

Had a lovely evening at the Walton Fox on 2/12/24. Excellent service and made to feel very welcome. Lindsay really looked after us. Especially enjoyed the children singing Christmas carols it really put us in the spirit. Will definitely return 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We popped into the Walton Fox for a quick drink and were pleasantly surprised by the lovely atmosphere. The pub had such a warm, festive vibe, and to our delight, a group of kids was singing Christmas songs, which made the experience even more special. The manager clearly does a fantastic job of creating a welcoming environment. The food looked delicious, and we’re already planning to come back to try it. Highly recommend this place for a great experience!

Great place , served perfectly by Hannah and food cooked by Paul , couldn’t fault a single thing , will look forward to me next visit

Good food, nice surroundings can be a little slow to get the bill at the end.

What an unwelcoming place, walk in & round to the restaurant area bypassing a group at the bar and got shouted at from a Scottish woman working behind the bar "are you joining a group" no, "well then wait back there" should have just left at that point. Atmosphere was terrible, same women kept on nagging staff to "go & get more drinks orders, take the pudding menus, sort the table" repeatedly as if they were recalcitrant 5 yr old not perfectly lovely & competant young women. When we dared to walk to the toilets got growled at by the same women whilst she charged towards us. They were also turning people away despite empty tables. Food was pretty awful, the smallest child's portion I've ever seen, if you child is over the age of 5 they'll need an adult meal. Other meals not great & puddings poor quality. Not cheap either, would be better off going to the hunters or yew tree, much friendlier places with better food. Never again!

burgers fries and onion rings were great, but flatbread was rock solid and unedible

very expensive for the tiniest slivers of meat!! 1 small chunk of beef and 1 pathetic sliver of turkey for £27. I'll stick to the farmers arms in whitestakes in the future. save your money and don't bother!!

Great meal at a good value price

Awful food at expensive restaurant prices with very slow service. It took half an hour to get the starters, which were tepid and fairly bland. Took almost another half an hour to get the mains. Had steak which was not grilled properly, alot of gristle and fat on the side, clearly the chef didn't bother to grill the steak on the sides as well. This came with a watery so-called bearnaise sauce, a handful of lukewarm tasteless chips, and three (!) cherry tomatoes with a salad leaf. The whole dish had probably been laying around for half an hour. Very poor when you're paying over £20 for it. If you want food avoid this place and go to a restaurant where they have a clue about cooking.

Nice cosy atmosphere. Natalie and Tiele were very friendly and professional. Didn’t see Alisha as she was busy in the kitchen but the food was delicious..

We came for a family meal for 8 people for my sons 21st birthday. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing and the meal was delicious everyone enjoyed it a lot, thank you

Beautiful charming pub, been here many times, food has always been amazing, disappointed this time round. Waited 35 minutes for our food, asked at the bar to ensure they had received our order, via online, was told yes, it is just coming, after waiting that long, I was looking forward to lovely hot food. It was a mixed bag of hot and cold food. Then waited another 5 minutes for the rest of the order to come out. I think just disappointed comes to mind

Cannot praise enough, we had a family meal and everything was absolutely perfect, thank you so much. Would very happily recommend

Thankyou Hannah and Thankyou for a lovely meal and service

Food was nice and great value really, drinks nice, Estrella was bang on. Warm and welcoming. Not sure what the cleaners do for a living though because it's not cleaning, disabled toilet looks like it was on the set of trainspotting, was unfortunately grim, bars not very clean when you look at it properly, and where our table was (near fire place ish) there's a window fram against the table into other half of the resturant there's more food remnants on that sill than the red cross doled out in the 90s Clean it and it would be bang on

Great food great company.Great service by Hannah and Klaudia

Superb, delicious food, excellent service and pleasant atmosphere.

Extremely efficient staff, comfortable area and excellent food - good choice too

Great food, lovely atmosphere. Bethany was so attentive and good to deal with. 5⭐️

Lovely early evening meal after a long Our waitress Thea provided excellent service

Terri was the perfect host and very friendly .. Serif cooked the most amazing lamb shank and the veggies were delicious

Cosy and peaceful setting with a real fire

Just called in for a drink, served by Lisa, very smiley, courteous and extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Not visited for quite a while, went in last night. I made a point to staff of how well the real ale is kept. It's a shame that it's a tied pub.

Very friendly, great food, excellent service

A first class experience. Our waitress lisa was polite and friendly and made you feel at home while serving good quality food with little waiting. I would highly recommend visiting this pub.
