Once known as Little Walton and rising 150 feet above the surrounding area, Bamber Bridge has been the scene of many battles throughout history. Most famous of all, a great battle was fought in 1648 between the Duke of Hamilton and the Parliamentarians, led by Oliver Cromwell. The area, full of heritage provides the ideal location for our rustic, traditional pub.
A country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character, our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.
Whether you are planning dinner with friends or Sunday lunch with family, book a table online and enjoy some quality time with those you love the most.

Very expensive. £5.10p a pint. I tried to order food at the bar. "Sorry we don't have a bar snack menu. Ok I'll go online and order. Asked for a mixed Grill. From the online menu. Sorry we don't do that..... Very rude staff. I know I'm only a visiting lorry driver in my overalls and you are busy because it's Friday night . But when I was in her last Wednesday night and it was empty I was treated with respect and had common people food.
I have had two meals at the Walton fox now...I love the friendly and welcoming atmosphere in the pub! I had the cheesy Garlic bread to start on both visits which was a good size and delicious! My only criticism is the portion size with the main courses.. On the first visit I had the Duo of Lamb.. The Lamb rump was cooked to perfection and melt in your mouth! However the shepherds pie which accompanied it was an Extremely small and downright stingy portion! AND EXTREMLY SALTY!! On the second visit, I had the sausage and onion gravy on a bed of mash... when this main course arrived at my table I immediately thought was it a child's portion? And the bed of mash was more a Cot of mash than a bed! The food was delicious! But the portion size was extremely stingy! On both occasions the mains portion size left me extremely disappointed and feeling hungry and short changed! On both visits I had the apple, blackcurrant and cherry crumble with custard for dessert... Which I can honestly say as someone who loves my desserts is the most delicious and best dessert I have ever had! 😋 My criticism about the mains portion size could be easily fixed by peeling and using some extra potatoes in the mains... That I had chosen! Besides from the extremely small and stingy main course portion size! *** WARNING! *** Do not leave a critical review of this pub if there is any possibility of you returning! As *some* of the staff will be unable to control their urge to... Have a dig= by making you wait, state food is unavailable when in fact it is available! Put extra salt in your food!...( Despite it previously being mentioned! ) Very unprofessional & Childish! Goodbye Walton Fox!! 🖐️
We came here for Sunday lunch. We both had a trio of roasts which was really nice but the roast potatoes were over cooked so we’re like rubber. The pubs is nice and quaint and they had the log fire on which was nice in the cold weather. The staff were really nice too.
We’ve been a few times and every time has been great. The roast and the pie are delicious. Great atmosphere. Spotlessly clean, friendly staff. Definitely recommend to anyone!
What a find! We stopped here on our way up to the north as it was the only option serving food at the time. Our expectations were not high due to the motorway/travel lodge location but the moment we got in what a surprise!! The place is lovely and well decorated! Cozy atmosphere and lovely service and staff. Would totally recommend.
