Fox & Hounds

We wanted to have a catch up over a drink and a bite to eat on a Saturday evening, Fox and Hounds was our chosen venue as we have been there a few times before. We enjoy going there as the venue is full of character with low beams, rustic tables, good lighting (love the candles :D) and friendly staff. There is outside seating with parasol umbrellas for good weather and a fire place inside creating an ambiance all round, the fire was not on yesterday because it was a warm day, however we have been there in the winter too, and it is lovely. The food was great and the prices were reasonable. The menu has a great selection and not overwhelming either, which we like. The food was dished elegantly and tasted delicious. Although the restaurant was fairly busy, the service was prompt. When we asked for the bill, we didn't have to wait long either. We left feeling like we had a great treat and didn't feel like it cost us the earth either.

I actually don’t understand any review with less than 5 stars! I went today and the staff were SO kind, very funny and checked on us often! All the food was amazing, the decor was beautiful and again, the staff were the BEST! Also, much cheaper than most restaurants , which you can never complain about when there’s SUCH GREAT STAFF!?! Also, great for kids! Portion sizes and options are great for them!

We Had a lovely meal here, food was really good

Had to wait 35 minutes for a portion of chips & onion rings,chips where cold & for £3.49 8 onion rings is ridiculous. I shall not be coming back anytime soon. Hurd others complaining about their food aswell. So disappointed.

Disappointed is an understatement. The food was late arriving and that was after the waiting staff forgot what was actually ordered. The chicken tasted like it had been pre-cooked, frozen then reheated and arrived at probably the barely legal temperature, either that or as it was again, so late in arriving, it had been sat waiting to leave the kitchen for a while. Staff while friendly, were preoccupied with their 'friends' who had popped in and this was at the expense the paying guest. To end on a positive the ice in my drink was great though!!

Popped in for lunch with my son, unfortunately his burger was not cooked and although we mentioned it to the waitress and she was apologetic, nothing came back from the kitchen in way of an apology. I won't be going back anytime soon.

Been here previously, last time was around 3-4months ago with the wife on a Sunday and everything was lovely on that previous occasion. This time, also a Sunday, visited with the wife and in-laws and the food was still good but there was not enough staff (only two for our entire area of the pub) and you could tell those working were trying to keep up with an impossible task. Main course (4x roasts) came within a reasonable time but once we finished we were waiting over half an hour for the plates to be taken. We asked for dessert menus and when we ordered our desserts they still hadn’t come after nearly an hours wait. When one of the party got up to get an update (because the staff were so busy and so few we couldn’t get attention from the table). We found out that the kitchen had not processed the tickets still. We ended up skipping the dessert and paying at the till due to disappointment in the length of waiting. I felt so sorry for the staff who were there taking the brunt of customer angst (you could overhear the same conversations from other patrons) and from reading the vast majority of the recent reviews this appears to be a regular problem with staffing. Won’t be returning for the foreseeable.

Food was delicious, and very hot when served, but the service was terrible, the staff were very friendly, but so slow in clearing plates away and providing us with the bill, we only had a main course each (two of us) at 4.30pm in the afternoon and we did not get to walk out of the pub until 6.15pm, 1 hour and 3/4's to be served and finish with one course for two people. Shocking. ALSO, OUR CAR GOT STUCK IN THE SHINGLE CAR PARK AS A HUGE HOLE CAVITY HAD BEEN COVERED OVER WITH SHINGLE so we could not see where were driving in to a covered hole. No warning to avoid that particular area of the car park.

Absolutely lovely food, they seemed to be short staffed but the staff they had were working really hard trying to make up for the issue, they were polite and friendly, even if service wasn’t the quickest. 5 star food with great service. Will definitely be returning to this pub in future and i highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
