First time we'd been to the Fox and Goose on hearing good things about it and a reasonable priced menu. On arrival we were greeted by Captain Charisma himself and ushered to sit on a table in "no mans land" until our table was ready. At this point we assumed that it must be busy and packed out, so we sat and waited a while until we were called through. Eventually we were told our table was ready, so were escorted through to the conservatory, an empty conservatory!! We were the only table in there!! The older waitress was very polite and took our food order. Eventually starters turned up and went down a treat. However I had to get up to tell the staff we'd finished and were ready for mains. Unfortunately this lack of service continued with the younger waiting staff and I had to get up on 3 more occasions to prompt them for table service! The food was very nice overall, but if the management can please ask the younger waiting staff to be a little more attentive, it might save the frustration of future diners having to endure nearly 3 hours of being there like we were! Not sure we'd go back, based on the lack of service.
Went for a Sunday roast, beef, and pork. Really nice meal, lovely surroundings and staff were very welcoming. Highly recommend đź‘Ś
We stopped off at the Fox and Goose yesterday for lunch. The outdoor space has a good sized play area and there was also a bouncy castle which kept our kids happy while we waited for our food. We were warned of a half hour wait because they were busy but it unfortunately took over an hour to arrive. When it came, the kids' meals were very basic and the burger burnt. The fish and chips meal was also pretty basic and not particularly tasty for what we paid. Not recommended. If you carry on a few minutes west, you'll find two other pubs close by which are worth trying instead.
Disappointing I am afraid. My wife and I turned up at just gone 12, thinking it would be quiet. There were no staff to be found when we walked in and a couple sitting at the table. We asked them if it was open. After a few minutes the manager I assume walked in and said hello. He then proceeded to go behind the bar and answer the phone and then stood there. I had to ask him would it be possible to get a table for two and he said yes of course. I briefly looked around, it was not clear if it was tableservice or pay at the bar. I asked him how does it work? He laughed obnoxiously and said “well you find a table and you sit down”. I then asked do we pay at the bar or is it table-service and where are the menus? To which he replied, I will get you a menu. We ordered bruschetta for starter and fish and chips for main. The bruschetta was very small and bland tasting. The fish and chips, the fish was beautiful. However, the chips were soggy and some borderline burnt. They never checked on us to see if the food was alright, they never asked if we wanted to refill our drinks. For supposedly table service it was poor. Staff were hanging around at the bar. The kitchen staff were coming in and pouring themselves a drink. So in general, we did not feel it gave a good impression.
What can I say, apart from a huge thank you. You made my wedding!!! Firstly, Your venue is just so lovely, it is not over fussy. Its just down to earth, friendly and really represents a lovely cosy Derbyshire pub. Except its more than a pub, we had total control of how we wished to decorate, with your light and a bit of extra bunting we turned into into a sparkly, beautiful wedding venue of my dreams. The views are spectacular and we had so much room for everyone, it really catered for everyones needs. Now the food, ... Absolutely delicious. The wedding breakfast was so yummy, we had to the ham hock, beef and the chocolate tart which has got to be one of the tastiest deserts I have ever had. The hog roast was fantastic too, everyone loved that and thank you for providing veggie options. Now the people, thank you Lynne. You worked so hard to make sure it was perfect for me. You are so lovely, easy to contact and just made it feel so relaxed. Everything went so smoothly, not a single hiccup in the day or evening, just thank you. Craig, thank you too, your staff and venue made you proud. I had soooo many compliments from everyone, thank you for being so relaxed and generous. I would recommend this place to anyone, and I will certainly be back in the future for some fantastic food. So much Love, Emily and Phill
