"However, my second visit was pleasant but lacked a good atmosphere, similar to the warm welcome I had before. It seemed like the host was on his own that evening, which might have contributed to the tired vibe—it was a Monday around 8:30 PM, after all. We ended up leaving around 10 PM. This time, I ordered the chocolate fudge cake, and unfortunately, it was a disappointment. It was quite dry and didn't come warm, even though the plate was heated. The portion of ice cream was minimal—just a tiny spoonful—which felt like the staff was not really making an effort since it was near the end of their shift. As for parking, it's quite dim, so I recommend bringing a flashlight. There’s also a building between the restaurant and the parking area."

"Visited this lunchtime to see what this old favourite was doing these days. I dropped in for a quick drink and stopped for what I can only describe as the best treat that my taste buds have had in a long time. Exquisite Thai food, beautiful presentation served by people who truly care about what they do. I would eat here every day if I could and can't wait to bring my family and friends to eat here. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. So glad that I took a little detour on the way home. My sincere thanks to you for fantastic service and the best lunch that I have had in a long time and at a very reasonable price!. Been back here and it just gets better. Everyone here really cares about what they do."

"NEW OWNERS NOW RUN THIS PUB FROM 1ST-June-2023. (Kazik Sonja) I recently had the pleasure of visiting my local pub, and I must say that it exceeded all my expectations. (Kazik Sonja) have done a fantastic job in getting this up and running. Passing by of my neighborhood, The Fat Fox Inn has become a spot for locals and visitors alike. From a nice ambiance to the impeccable service and delightful offerings, this place has truly won me over as a local. In the passed The Fat Fox Inn has gone through a couple of landlords in the past 4 to 5yrs and great to hear someone has taken the reins to point this pub in the right with real pub grub food. In July 2023 this pub will also be offering B B let 's, however these rooms are still being renovated and 'YES their is Parking available too directly behind the pub on site. Walking into The Fat Fox Inn, I was immediately greeted by a friendly and attentive staff and the owners.(Kazik Sonja). The atmosphere was inviting, with its dimly lit space, rustic décor, and comfortable seating arrangements. Whether you 're looking for a lively gathering or a quiet evening with friends, this pub caters to all moods and occasions I found. The pub 's drink selection is okay for me, but it is a personal decision when it comes to selection of drinks and it 's Wines, featuring a range of beers, a good-curated wine list, and an array of spirits. The bar staff 's local knowledge is great too, because these staff are local to the area which helps. When it comes to the food, The Fat Fox Inn truly shines. The menu offers a delightful mix of classic pub fare and innovative dishes that are sure to please any palate. (See my photos) From the juicy burgers and perfectly seasoned fries. Even to the flavorful on every dish which is prepared with care and presented beautifully. The quality and freshness of the ingredients are evident, and the portions are generous too. What truly sets The Fat Fox Inn apart is its commitment is to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment (Wheelchair accessible front and back) 2x Front doors and Garden rear Door) Another aspect worth mentioning is the friendly service. The staff members at The Fat Fox Inn are incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable like I said earlier. They go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels valued and leaves with a smile. Whether you need recommendations from the menu or want to know more about the drink offerings or anything local, the staff is always ready to assist. Overall, The Fat Fox Inn is going to be a gem back to the village that has everything you could want in a neighborhood town pub. It combines a cozy atmosphere, a diverse drink selection, delectable food, and exceptional service to create a great experience. If you 're looking for a place to unwind after a long day or drive, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy good pub grub food and drinks in a welcoming atmosphere, I wholeheartedly recommend The Fat Fox Inn. It 's a true local, and yes it 's my local and a place that hopefully keep you coming back for more of their great food. Sorry for the long review! Please check out my photos most recently taken 8th-June-2023. Service: 5 Location: 4 Hotel highlights: Great value"

"Visited today intending to have lunch. It wasn’t initially very busy. Twice we asked a waitress if we could order food. The first time we were told she would get our drinks then return to take our food order. When the drinks arrived we again asked if we could place our order. She said she would go get a note pad pen. She didn’t return. Soon after that a large group of walkers arrived. Most went into the pub to get drinks before sitting down outside. Very soon a waitress appeared proceeded to take their food orders. Seeing this we decided not to order food as we would have a very long time to wait while their food was prepared! We often have lunch here after a dog walk have always found it very friendly were intending to return next week for lunch with a friend but are now going to try to find an alternative venue. Shame!"
