"Went here for a meal last night with my inlaws. Hadn't been before, I purely picked this pub because it was half way between our house and my inlaws house and it seem to have really good reviews! But......I'm sorry to say that we were really disappointed! The staff were lovely and accommodating, so kudos to them for that! But the food was shocking! First of all, they had run out of most things on the menu. There was absolutely no vegetarian options, as they had run out of both vegetarian options on the menu. So I asked them to make me the pasta dish without the meatballs and bulk it out with veg instead. The pasta came out, as for the veg they were supposed to bulk it out with, I ended up with 2 solitary pieces of stemmed brocoli on the top of pasta in tomato sauce! My mother inlaw's lamb came out, and it was as tough as leather and looked so small and unappetising! My husband's steak which he asked for medium well, was rare (although they did send out some cheese and biscuits as way of an apology and took some money off of this dish). The food didn't seem like it was cooked by a chef at all. It tasted and looked like half reasonable home cooking. The sticky toffee pudding seemed to have come out of a tin and had been microwaved! The portions were tiny for the the prices we paid! Burger buns were very small! They had run out of the peppercorn sauce, the beef cheek, both vegetarian dishes, mushrooms (which was supposed to come with the steak). Given the fact the menu is fairly small, there was a large percentage missing, which just caused disappointment and regret for choosing here to eat! I have to be honest and say I probably wouldn't come back here with how things are right now. I think there is a lot to be worked on. It says online that this is a gastro pub, but the food quality and options were nowhere close to being gastro I'm afraid! The staff were lovely, so the foundations are good. But everything else needs huge improvement! One last thing I must mention is the fact we booked a table, but ended up outside on bench seats. My inlaws are fairly old with my father inlaw having alot of osteo problems, my husband also has back problems. The seats were incredibly uncomfortable and we all had to keep getting up! The bench table we had was also uneven, so didn't meet the floor properly and was rocking all evening. It wasn't what you'd expect from a booked table. I don't mind sitting outside, as space inside is limited, but you need to have tables with proper wooden chairs with backs on them for the booked tables."

We had the most amazing experience at this restaurant! After not visiting for 2 years due to the previous owner's rudeness, we decided to give it another chance under new management. We were greeted by friendly and accommodating staff, and the food and drink were fantastic. Thank you, we will definitely be returning in the future!

I have been frequenting this pub for 40 years and have never experienced such poor service, food, and decor. Ever since Phil and Tina left in the mid-2000s, the brewery has allowed couples with no personality for the license trade to take over. It's not difficult to see why the pub has declined. Now, there are a group of teenage girls behind the bar who are more interested in their phones than serving customers. The lack of a capable supervisor has transformed this once great community pub into a lifeless, soulless establishment.

Came here as where we tried to go wanted a pre order for a party of 6. Not The Fox though. And glad we came. Its a lovely little homely pub, quirky and welcoming. Decent choice of beers including no alcohol options. Starter was great. Excellent portions and fairly priced. I had been over heard saying I'd have liked whitebait, it was only on a sharing platter, however it was made as a solo portion especially for me which was a great start. And superb it was! Nice pie of the day, fish and chips also looked awesome. Overall a wonderful welcoming experience. Not the first time I've eaten in here but I will 100% go back again. A great food pub with a lovely atmosphere and superb service. Went the...

No Roast Lamb by 1:30pm when service started at 12:00, Chicken on the menu was actually Turkey, no cherry pie when it came to dessert, Chocolate Brownie was served without ice cream Sticky Toffee Pudding had no sauce despite what was stated on menu. Waiting staff didn't seem to know what was going on and what was or wasn't available on the menu. All our drink orders delivered wrong during our meal. Service was very chaotic and disorganised, admittedly not helped by a kitchen plumbing issue but not excusable. We were given free desserts and drinks when it came to pay the bill, but then automatically had 10% added as a service charge which is not stated on the menu but I couldn't be bothered t...

During a visit before Christmas in 2023, I ordered the bruschetta and was met with a stale slice of bread topped with half a plum tomato and a few red onions. The Christmas dinner menu was also lackluster and poorly presented. Despite giving them the benefit of the doubt due to potential business, our recent Valentine's visit proved to be the worst yet. We ordered the tapas for two, priced at nearly £39 per person, and were shocked by the poor quality. The food looked bland, tasted bland, and was not worth the steep bill of almost £90 in total. I have decided to never eat here again and urge the owners to invest in a skilled chef, use better ingredients, and put in more effort. I did not br...

Sadly this was not as hoped for, I booked for Fathers Day. First they couldn't find my booking, then after 3 attempts and 1/2 hour we got our correct drinks order. We then had to grab a waitress to take our food order and when she arrived the items on the menu were either incorrect or unavailable because there were alot of bar orders for food taken so insufficient product was accounted for. After a further wait, the kitchen then flooded due to the rain. Another mucked up drinks order. Stock levels for pudding options was limited or not available. The Sticky Toffee pudding did not have butterscotch sauce but ice cream and we were rudely told that this is how it comes from the waitress and the...
