Traditional, family-friendly and dog-friendly pub.
We chose to host our wedding reception at the Fox and Hounds as the food is so fantastic and we’ve had always had a great dining experience there. The process was stress free and simple and the staff worked with us every step of the way. We met with the head chef Brett who curated a menu with us for exactly what we wanted. He gave creative suggestions to make the menu as delicious as possible. The front of house manager Ricky helped us with sorting out all the fine details of the day including table plans, decorations, timings, and speeches. He always communicated with us and made things so simple and stress free. We couldn’t have been happier with the food on the day, it was incredible. Many of our guests commented it was the best food they had ever had. And the service was excellent. The staff went above and beyond. The space of the pub worked really well for our wedding. The overall effect with the decorations gave a cosy and atmospheric ambiance. There was also space for the DJ to set up with a dance floor area. Everyone had such a good time. I can’t thank the staff enough. If you are looking to host a wedding or event I absolutely recommend the fox and hounds.
I've wanted to visit for a feed for a while so we decided to drive up and head in on a whim just as the kitchen opened on Saturday evening. Served with fresh ale and sat immediately, we were. What a treat. The pork chop and steak were delectable, as were the sides of tenderstem and carrots. Managed to squeeze in a wedge of the spiced plum tart, which, I reckon, I could eat endlessly. The service, too, was excellent, and the atmosphere relaxed. I could have sat and sipped and nibbled all night, but we had to get home to the mutt. What a beautiful pub and dinner. I look forward to returning.
We were very much looking forward to our celebratory dinner but were unfortunately let down by the very underwhelming lamb main : consisting of just one bitesize lamb cutlet on top of extremely salty and rich lamb shoulder and puy lentil stew for £27. The crab starter and orange mousse hazelnut cake were lovely though. Maybe we have ordered the wrong main as we got very food envied by the tomahawk on another table. They did take in our feedback, apologise and deduct a bit from the bill but I don't think we will return.
One of my favourite restaurants in the local area. The atmosphere is so cozy and warm, service friendly and wholesome, and food incredible. Great to see the open kitchen. We’ve been multiple times and each time the food has been delicious consistently. Great drinks selection too.
Delicious food and great service in a beautiful pub.
