"The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely, and the staff is exceptionally attentive and eager to please. The sea bass had a soft, somewhat wild-looking fillet instead of the crispy skin I was hoping for, although it was delicious when paired with the sauce. I'm not entirely convinced that everything was cooked fresh. My friend enjoyed the roast beef, and while the cauliflower cheese appeared to be reheated, it still tasted good."

The food and service were outstanding. It's a great value for your money. The staff is friendly, parking is convenient, and booking is a breeze. The restaurant wasn't crowded, and there was plenty of space.

The atmosphere wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be, and the menu was rather limited. We were hoping for a salad or something similar, but there was only one option, which was unfortunately quite disappointing.

Over the years weve been quite a supporter of the colney fox . But sadly the last 2 visits have been really disappointing . So much as to say we wont be visiting again which is a great shame to us as we live in the village. Rob and Kathie

Waited ages to be seated. Drinks were warm and flat (pints) didn’t change just poured in a new glass.. food took ages and come out small and Luke warm. Not enough staff and the one person taking orders didn’t have a clue what she was doing on one of the busiest days of the year

Since the change of ownership we have been regular diners at the Fox and everything has been fine today was disappointing with slow service and when the meals arrived some had to be sent back due to the quality of the food or the fact the meal wasn't warm suggesting it had been sitting on the side for a while!

We live very local and have eaten here many times over the years. Unfortunately it is still very hit or miss. Tonight there were 4 if us eating, 2 mwals were ok and 2 were inedible, mainly too cold and I mean cold, and the pizza was just not cooked. Simple things that just should not kerp happening. Turn the oven and wsrming plate up as a minimum. Or actually cook the food so it is all ready at the same time.

"Yammin-Yummy says. ... 5 stars ... also a rarely awarded- 'beezybonus'. . . now, where do I begin to begin with such an amazingly appealing selection of freshly prepared foods that one would naturally expect that, already cooked, sitting, waiting for the next hungry expected customers. this can sometimes cook up to 10-20-50mins before they are placed in front of them. not here. freshly cooked. now this beautiful example of a traditional 'fish chip love affair, established over generations of Friday nights, was beautifully designed to tell their mouth, tonge taste panties, please attach their belts, and then it is about them an incredible arbor ride. ... one who seems to go up just as once they decided what's going in their mouth first (at least the crispy tail end) begins their incredible journey up; as their eyebrows increase during thinking, omg that 's sooo different good, light, crispy teig as I've never tasted in my 37 years since the beginning in the food industry. And then I made the mistake of dipping my squid in the homemade tartaric acid sauce. that is when the 1st massive fear happened, as I thought, oh my days; the better then mean, re-entry, deeper, actually cure my wrist action, to ensure maximum absorption of this sweet/creamy/tart/caper filled taste, as I reached for a chip to accompany, strengthen the excellent experience I thought stupid would be a 'standard thing'. Now I took care of you like this, but I have seen on my chips a few each mouthful was an experience, depending on how I stacked the fork, hahahaha. the fish was so fresh that I was looking on my teller sand. ... to dedicate a joy to each chip. ... the muddy heaps, normally warmed, not microshaft to a mass-hotter-then-the-sun, went a tasty bite, and quickly also, for once. the lemon shattered haddock had to be tied to the plate, because this teig was so light that it almost raised to the deck. but as soon as this handmade tasty tartaric acid sauce meets, any responsible 'handler-of-the-fork', wants to make sure that its only trajectory can be swallowed in their waiting swallow. It was so good, I couldn't stand to leave a single diesel and with this tartaric acid sauce, which even made a bulky chip, was nothing left, I was ashamed to ask the cook the recipe for 'this sauce', as he made such a light oil-free beautiful teig. the staff is very attentive, courteous, with a beautiful large sitting area also. get yourself here quickly bungalows to make an ordinary experience, in an excellent exciting eating expedition into a court that we all know so well, but so different. ... enjoy."
