    As usual lovely food and wine. We both had steak and chips. And then ice cream and I had cheese and biscuits. Cooked perfectly. Only compliant, if I can call it a complaint, there were too many chips. Both of us couldn’t eat them all and we don’t like to waste food, but had to. Service was impeccable. Ambience was good too. Nice and busy with great atmosphere. Will be back. Thanks for a great dinner experience.

    Great meal, we were greeted with a smile and the staff were very friendly. Food was wonderful and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. It was our sons birthday so they bought out a happy birthday plate with dessert and also someone else was celebrating their birthday and the whole place sung happy birthday which was great.

    We had dear friends visiting, knew it would be a beautiful sunny day for a walk in the country, and the Fox was nearby to provide them with a delicious lunch. It exceeded our already high expectations. They have an ala carte which was incredibly good value too. Delicious food! Excellent service. Thank you.

    Booked The Fox in the hope of something elevated in terms of a local Sunday Roast but was badly disappointed. One measly slice of pork loin, three roast potatoes, some cabbage and a couple of carrots with some gravy was it. There was so much white space on my plate. The potatoes tasted like they’d been sitting under a heat lamp for an hour. The wine we ordered took an age to arrive. Very poor show. The cheeseboard and desserts were better, hence the two stars but the main event was an embarrassment to the establishment.

    The beef was perfectly cooked, and the Yorkshire pudding was the best I’ve ever had here, ie not overdone, just right! Service was excellent too, and my espresso martini was expertly made!

    Saturday night and we’re seated in the restaurant. Menu looks different to that advertised on the website but we go with it - until we see others being served burgers. Turns out there is a bar menu but unless you ask for it you’re only offered the (more expensive and quite restricted) a la carte. We mixed from both menus. Whipped Stilton starter was bland and didn’t taste of Stilton. Carpaccio was reported to be good. Bream main was bland but the pub choices of burgers and fish pie went down well, as did the pork loin. Service was good and we enjoyed the pre-dinner beers in the bar. All in all, would go back for the bar ambience and food, but probably not the restaurant experience.

    I received an email from the Fox informing me Pie night was 1st and 3rd Thursday each month. I booked a table for 4. When we arrived, there were no pies. It was beaujolais night. So we had fish pie. But please sort out your communications!
