"Everything in the White Heart is disorganised. On arrival you are just ignored. When you do manage to get attention they have no idea on what to do. Drinks are not offered you have to go to the bar as no waiter available. The revamped tapas menu and build your own meal are a good change to the offering. However the staff have no clue of what the dishes include so you are left to work it out. From ordering to meals arriving 45 mins. Just plonked on the table by waitress and left. No offer of sauces etc or maybe a second drink. No check is the food OK. So back to bar to queue and carry your own.drinks back. Then when you get your bill from the bar they add 12.5% service charge to everything. What a joke as there is no service. They were unfriendly throughout. We live local and really like how the hotel is laid out. Whenever we visit we struggle so it's no fun. This hotel and restaurant needs a manager who knows their job. Staff need training."

"We had an excellent and cozy lunch with family. The service was friendly and attentive, and each dish was beautifully presented. The sauces that accompanied the fish were exceptional. I started with the whitebait, which was a very generous portion and cooked to perfection. For my main course, I chose the pork belly served with a delicious red wine sauce. My only minor observation was that it was a bit crispy for my taste, but I know many people enjoy it that way. I found it beautifully seasoned, and the sweetness paired perfectly. It was surprisingly quiet for a Friday afternoon, but overall, it was a great experience. We will definitely be coming back!"

"Went to try toward the end of the first week following the reopening. The place looks so much better and the idea of taking away the small bar and increasing the dining area was a great idea. Food was nice, longish wait for it, tasty...enough and hot. The main bar has been redecorated but suffers the problem of the old Barley Mow, where the ‘hard drinking locals’ set themselves up at the bar and make it impossible for anyone else to get served. In fact they just wave their glasses and you get ignored. As I said, nice enough but until they sort out the bar, we will not be rushing back."

The food was quite good, earning a solid rating of 4 out of 5. The service was attentive and met my expectations, also receiving a 4 out of 5. However, the atmosphere slightly fell short, with a rating of 3 out of 5. While the meal was enjoyable, the ambience could use some improvement."

"The pub has a classic feel, with a separate public bar and restaurant. Although we were not initially directed towards the restaurant, we were able to enjoy the unseasonably warm October weather by sitting in the garden. Surrounded by traditional pub benches and the sounds of the countryside, it was a delightful setting. I was a bit underwhelmed when we first entered the public bar, as we had come out for a rare child-free lunch and I was unsure about the food quality. However, I was pleasantly surprised when our meals exceeded our expectations. I enjoyed the Brie and BBQ ribs, while my partner had the haggis and burger - both dishes were delicious and generously portioned. The atmosphere at The Fox was welcoming, with friendly locals and staff. It reminded me not to judge a place by its appearance. I would highly recommend dining at this traditional pub, which still maintains its charm despite the losses faced by many similar establishments."
