Review of Fox and Hounds, New Millerdam, Wakefield Our visit to the Fox and Hounds on Boxing Day was an absolute disaster. Despite the car park being unusually empty, it became clear why this place wasn’t busy. From the start, things were concerning—witnessing the chef picking his nose in the restaurant was beyond unhygienic. Despite this, we were seated after a 10-minute wait and hoped for a decent meal. Unfortunately, that hope was misplaced. The service was slow, but the real issues started with the mains. Two steak and ale pies turned out to be mislabeled chicken pies—dry and completely sauceless. My granddaughter’s chicken nuggets came with thick, dry potato wedges instead of chips, (anpparent their wedges are chips ) and my niece’s plain chicken burger arrived loaded with salad and dressings that she had requested not to put on . When we raised the issue with the waitress, she apologized but offered no real resolution. One pie was taken back, leaving my son-in-law without a meal. The landlord’s attitude was shocking—rude, dismissive, and argumentative. He outright denied the error, claimed we should be satisfied with a small deduction, and made no effort to rectify the situation. As we prepared to leave, the landlord told us to use the back door, an insult we refused. To make matters worse, the chef reappeared, mocking us by laughing, blowing kisses, and telling us to “get out.” For a family meal costing £114, we received subpar food, appalling service, and a level of hostility that was completely unacceptable. Avoid this place at all costs. The poor hygiene, unprofessional staff, and outright rudeness make it clear this is not an establishment that values its customers.
