"My husband and I had Sunday lunch last week. I had beef, he had trio of roasts. The food was quite tasty. However it wasn’t quite as warm as it should have been and my husband was disappointed that the roast chicken element of his dinner was a small chicken leg on the bone and very little meat. Our order was taken quickly and we didn’t wait long for our food which was good. Our waitress was pleasant, however nobody checked after we got our food to make sure all was ok. They were very busy though. The main thing that spoiled our visit was this horrible drain smell that came just after we finished our food. Just as well it was after our food, because honestly if it was during our meal, I could not have eaten… and that’s not an exaggeration! I l felt like retching as it was! We mentioned this to our waitress when we paid our bill. She sort of fobbed it off saying that it came from outside and a sewage smell was just one of those things we get in the lovely countryside location!…. Now I want to make it clear that we don’t blame her for saying this. It was probably some rehearsed answer staff were told to give to customers who complained!! Honestly, it’s a silly patronising excuse. That was no “healthy country smell”. I was brought up on a farm in Ireland and I know the various country odours: slurry, dung, silage etc… this was simply a stomach churning blocked drain smell! The management need to be honest with the customers, and not give a silly “countryside” excuse. Most of all they need to sort it out. This is a good restaurant, it’s relatively pricey which isn’t a problem… but please, horrible smells should not be part of the dining experience!"

Service was good, but my meal was poor. I had intended to order the beef roast, however this had run out, so I opted for the lamb instead. Meal arrived and I asked for mint sauce, only to be advised they had also had no...

I stumbled upon this restaurant accidentally while searching for a place to hold a virtual business meeting. I couldn't have been happier with my discovery. Becky was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making me feel right at home. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. I will definitely be returning with my wife and children.

I cannot fault the service here, it was very efficient and friendly. However the food was a bit of a disappointment. The cod was very greasy and the nourish bowl did not contain the listed ingredients so whilst it was tasty it did not have the roasted cauliflower or squash I was expecting, a little bit of broccolini and carrot is not the best alternative. At least give me the choice to choose something else. Sadly the espresso was awful as frequently is in the UK.

I’m actually quite upset about my experience today. The Fox and Hounds has always been a go to of mine for a nice lunch or evening meal. We booked in the bar area so we could take our dog one of the lovely things about this pub is having a area for dogs. We ordered a pizza, a cheeseburger, Lemonade, coffee, and small wine £49.50ish. The food came very quickly. Coffee was nice. Wine as expected. The burger was 100% a frozen processed patty, it had no taste to it and neither did the cheese, the bun had that slightly stale feel … you know when you can’t tell if it’s toasted or stale because it’s soft in the middle but hard at the edges and it feels like stale hard over toasted. They put no sauc...
