"we thought they might like to know that the fuchs and the hounds were awarded 5 stars on gastrohub. here is our review of the website. another day, a new pub, at least for me, dad has been here before. this beautiful pub in the small village funtington, just wants them to come in. especially on a dreamy winter day, when the dark falls on you from a gray and solemn sky, she entices you through his doors, into the warm, where you can forget the grip of the winter and enjoy a few drinks and a few hot dips. the pub is much bigger than it appears first, with an additional restaurant area behind the bar. despite its size, the pub was warm, a basic area in pub hospitality. we checked the menu, including the special table, and were perhaps impressed. this was certainly one of the better menus that we have, showing a clear flare and imagination. I had expected the half of the prices to reflect the ingredients and dishes, perhaps in the unacceptable clip, but we were pleasantly surprised. the most important meal cuts at £12 £14, which we would consider about the right to a good pub with high quality food. I chose piri piri piri huh with seasoned sweet potatoes and spinat, papa from the special board, put his believe in the drawn steak in a blase and squeaky cake. we have softened the warm and friendly atmosphere, as we have waited for the food and watched the Goldilocks mirrors both temperature and corresponding music. before our meals arrived, and it was immediately obvious that the cook has a wonderful eye for the presentation. both our plates looked stunning, so we quickly sneak in to see if it tasted as good as it looked. that did it. the chicken was juicy, the sweet potato slightly seasoned and delicious, and the spinach was buttery and luxurious. dad's blase and squeakcake were just as perfect so he couldn't make any criticism. if we found a single error, and I notice that this is objectiv, we found the parts a little small. as the pub-geeks we are, we have discussed this to a certain extent. we have decided that as a publican there is a fine line, between which leave their customers feel short changed and leave them with space for a desert so that a few more penny’s collect. we have decided that they have fallen on the right side of the line, and to prove our point, we then ordered a desert. I had white chocolate and orange bread and butter pudding, dad had an individual lemon meringue pipe with Blueberry compot. both of them were delicious. that is undoubtedly a very fine pub. they have looked good and really all the groundboxes. the employees are efficient and friendly, and they have not accused of the overriding policy that is so widespread in many gastro pigs. there is a fine cook in the kitchen, and above all, eating is excellent. we always ask ourselves for every pub visit if we would return with friends and family. the answer in this case is a sounding yes."

"This is not a glamorous restaurant it is a small, family run affair, a bit too brightly lit and in need of a few decorative flourishes, but the reviews are so good because despite the less than perfect surrounding the food is genuinely outstanding....I have eaten a lot of Greek food in Athens and the Islands, have many Greek friends and have visited the country over times. This food is exactly like what I have eaten there and in my friends homes. Tasty, rich without being overbearing, comforting, not greasy and totally fresh: and perfectly cooked. It's also reasonably priced. In my opinion it is much better than many way more expensive and celebrated Greek restaurants that serve greasy and tasteless Greek specialities I took my partner and our two kids and they all loved it. We had perfect deep fried calamari that is possibly the best I've ever had thick rings, fresh and tasty, just the right amount of light batter not those stringy thin frozen things sold in most places; spanakopita (spinach and feta fried pies) that were the perfect consistency and ratio of cheese to spinach; taramasalata that was not too creamy (but perhaps could have had a bit more lemon) and then the mains! A delicious chicken souvlaki and whole seabass, both grilled perfectly plainly fresh as can be and delicately seasoned; and a vegetarian Moussaka that was so authentic it took me right back to Greece, again, avoiding the over-greasy bland offerings of so many Greek places light, fluffy and gorgeous. All in all the meal was excellent I took what we didn't eat home and we had a second dinner tonight and it was just as good second time. I highly recommend this restaurant and have only not given it stars because, quite easily, they could make some significant improvements to the interior (dim the lighting for one) and possibly improve the wine list a little. But for Greek food I now know where I am going, everytime. I should point out that this is the first time I've been moved to write a review.."

"We often come here for Sunday carvery which is very good so thought we would try an evening meal for my Mum's birthday. I am afraid the overall service let down the whole experience. When we arrived, instead of being taken to our table by the waitress, she just pointed and said you are at that table over there. After being to a busy bar area to get our drinks we found out that the 2 waitress standing around did not take orders so we had to go back to the busy bar again and wait to give our food orders. When the food came it was very good, especially my seafood platter. Everyone thought the food was good except for my Mum who had gone for one of the specials. It was so poor especially for being a special. She had one tiny piece of fish with no sauce, 4-5 very small new potato's, a few carrots and a few bits of broccoli. All the veg was hard and there was not enough to satisfy even a person with the smallest appetite. We told the waitress about the hard veg but she just said oh right and there was no apology. When we spoke to the chap at the bar and said why don't the waitress take the orders he said he liked people to come to the bar so the staff could meet them. We all felt this was a lame reason and probably did not trust the teenage waitresses to take the orders. It is a real shame as the place is lovely and the food generally is pretty good but is missing a professional touch. We said we would not return for an evening meal but just stick to the Sunday Carvery."
