About us

Firstly, welcome to The Fox & Duck. If you love the countryside, fine food and the warmest of welcomes; you’ve come to the right place.

When guests, diners, friends or fans walk through the doors of The Fox and Duck, they’re greeted by the comforting aroma, décor and welcome reminiscent of what a local pub should be: friendly, approachable and the kind of place you could while away a day.

Described often as a well-disguised gastropub, the Fox and Duck have evolved to represent, support and enhance its rural surroundings. We’re so lucky to be located on The Green in a beautiful Hertfordshire village called Therfield.

If you’ve walked to us from Royston Heath Nature Reserve or around the area, there’s space for you to pop your wellies in the porch. If your four-legged friend is with you, they will be greeted by water bowls and free treats in the bar area.

Must be the most successful country pub ever! What lovely service! Everyone was so nice and accommodating even though clearly very busy. The food was sublime too and couldn't fault any of it. Would 100% recommend.

This is a lovely country pub. We went for Sunday lunch, and it did not disappoint. It was extremely busy but the service was good and the staff were very friendly. The fish and chips were enormous and piping hot. None of the items on the menu were expensive, but on the downside, the drinks were a bit pricey.

Sadly, very disappointed, having read previous reviews. OH had the Sunday Roast, which was all fresh cooked produce and lovely. I had the Scampi and whilst the Scampi itself was good, the fries were just oven fries and they were drenched in salt. Seriously, I have never been presented a meal with that much salt on it. It made the fries inedible and I actually felt sick. Why put so much salt on when there is salt on the tables? Surely diners season to their own taste? You can’t remove what’s been added in the kitchen but you could add more, if you choose to. As someone else has said, the drinks are pricey-almost £7 for a pint. Service was great-couldn’t fault it. If you’re looking for romantic, or serene, this isn’t for you-really noisy. Sorry to say that I won’t be rushing back.

Good pub in the centre of the village. I had the foxy burger which was nice , but had a very big burger Pattie a bit too big to eat with ur hands but still nice. Service was fairly quick drinks took 10 mins and 30 mins for food. A good pub overall

Lovely food. Very generous portion. Haggis bon bon was lovely. So was the main - venison two ways and fish & chips. Very friendly staff. Noticed it was very popular with locals. Pity that we were too full to go for desserts.
