Sarah and Robin created a wonderful Birthday lunch for our family. Six of us sat down to a three course meal, the highlight being a fabulous Beef Wellington. Nothing was too much trouble and they were marvellous hosts. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Seriously yummy Sunday carvery - I had the nut roast option, with Dorset apple cake for dessert. Would recommend

We have been on a tour of local pubs for roast dinners on Sundays and to date this is the most tastiest meal. Dog friendly, made to feel welcome and lovely setting 😊

New management still upgrading certain parts but same great atmosphere and friendly locals. Pity it's not open at lunchtimes during the week though.

My family and I recently stayed at the Greyhound as we were seeing family in the area. We arrived and were greeted by front of house Mark who immediately made us feel right at home. We were very kindly upgraded unbeknownst to us and so we had two large, spacious rooms. The rooms were tidy, spacious and well provisioned. Lots of tea and biscuits and fresh milk were a lovely touch. We unpacked and proceeded to have dinner at the on site restaurant, the food was tasty and service was, again, spot on. We finished the evening by relaxing in the cozy pub area of the inn, Mark’s humour and the warm fire provided a very nice end to a day of travelling. In the morning, we had breakfast which was included in the room rate, the breakfast was delicious. The produce was very high quality and all local and there were a range of options at service. The next day we required a late checkout due to the late night festivities of new year Eve, again, this was absolutely no trouble. We were made to feel right at home throughout our stay and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. All of the staff are a real credit to this establishment and we will definitely be staying back here when are in the area.

Birthday get together with the family. Visited the Fox years ago and it was great. Not so much today. I had a rare steak and the cut, (not the fault of the chef) was very sinewus, if that is even a word. Cooked and seasoned well but disappointing. Onion rings were great though. Desert however, wasn’t great, the brownie tasted like the chocolate had been burnt and the sticky toffee was very dry. Service was not fluid and brash to say the least. Very defensive when I mentioned about the steak and was interrupted when explaining. This let the experience down. Food was ok, service, very poor and non attentive.

Went for a nice walk and popped in for lunch over easter and the staff where warm and welcoming and we had a great lunch and the food excellent.
