    This was my first but not last visit. It was Nutcracker themed afternoon tea. All tables were in themed booths, the deco was outstanding (says the art student) and gave a really great feel. Food was plentiful and really imaginative (think pigs in blanket hot dog in brioche canapé) and good quality. Music obvs was Nutcracker (think Dad would’ve ben disappointed not ELP) and loads of Xmas favs. Just a truly brilliant experience

    This is the second year running that my friend and I have been to the Fancy Fox for our Christmas afternoon tea. The venue is beautiful and is especially magical at Christmas. The food is absolutely fantastic and they were brilliant at catering for vegetarians/food allergies. The service can't be faulted and I would say that overall it is great value for money. Infact, there was so much food that we both had to take home leftovers.

    We visited with our baby to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Our waiter went above and beyond to give us a memorable experience, and was incredibly accommodating to meet all of our needs. His knowledge of the menu, and recommendations were spot on. The food was delicious, service was impeccable, nothing was too much trouble. Service from entry to leaving was wonderful from every member of staff we encountered.
