"We are lucky enough to live near the Lamb in Shipton and love it. Since the fox opened we have visited twice, the first for lunch a few weeks ago and it was lovely, (the owners were there at the time) but our most recent visit, which was an evening one was far from lovely. We booked last minute for an early supper. There appeared to be a discrepancy with the booking system and their own system which seemed to annoy the waitress and from then on we had the feeling she would rather we weren’t there. The service was slowish with only the one waitress attending to all the tables, it wasn’t packed but appreciate they may have had a busy lunch service, but she seemed harassed and instead of being cool and cheerful she was less than friendly to us, almost sarcastic. The biggest let down was the food. The burger would have passed muster for taste, but the bun was drenched and soggy and the overall presentation unappealing. The other main, the beans and carrots, was the strangest meal with nothing exciting about it all. A lot of liquid and very little substance and all for £19. There was barely any choice of dishes, unlike the lamb where I’m always excited about more than one dish, but here we struggled to get excited about any of it, and absolutely nothing light and summery on offer. There are so many lovely places to choose from around here, I’m afraid we won’t be returning, I’m sure the waitress will be thrilled to hear that."

We really enjoyed our Sunday roast. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and well cooked and it was a cosy atmosphere.

Excellent food and impeccable service. The steak frites were as good as ever and the sole was exceptional, this remains our favourite local dining destination

Much too salty. Salty bread, salty beans, salty crust on chicken pie. Hake on a sea of red mush unappealing. Pie a bit too dry. No sign of a Manager. Not impressed and will not return. At least the prices were not outrageous but standard of cooking below par. Good beer. View menu

Well, as far as I’m concerned, The Fox lived up to the press from Giles. Lunching solo, the staff were friendly and attentive. I had the Iberico pork in romesco sauce with grilled scallions and garlic and chilli broccoli as a side. All perfectly cooked and delicious with a pint of Donningtons. Perhaps it helped booking for midday and being the first to arrive. I will be going there again.

The whole experience, from the welcome, to the food was just exceptional. Had my parents visiting and enjoyed a spot of lunch due to them being Father Brown enthusiasts. The ploughmans was spot on and Dad was super happy that they us ham egg and chips on the menu. This place is great, for friends, family, dining or just having a few beers in the garden (great selection of Kay and cask). Service was fantastic, I would highly recommend!

Having been 4-5 times now, either for a few jars or their food, I have been bowled over by the Fox. As part of the owners growing empire of Cotswolds pubs, combating the 'boujee London ' takeover of the area, the Fox lives up to all of Giles ' comments. Would eat all of the bar snacks and starters, especially the rarebit every day. The larger than life head chef has added mega new food as the seasons have moved on. The staff are exceptional, especially given the place is always buzzing. Would recommend to a friend or casual acquaintance. View menu

Stayed in the village for two nights last week and had lunch and an evening meal on Friday at The Fox Inn as we didn't want to travel elsewhere because of heavy rain etc. We both had the fish soup and deserts for lunch, and for dinner I had the cheeseburger and my partner the partridge. The food tasted good, the servers were pleasant and the atmosphere nice. Unfortunately at 4am next morning I had a touch of food poisoning with the usual symptoms, and felt sicky for the rest of Saturday. I can only assume it was either the fish soup or the burger responsible as we had not eaten elsewhere that day. I was sent an automatic email requesting feedback on our dining experience so I sent the feedba...

We arrived, as per the booking, at 7pm for the special dinner, headlined on The Fox’s Instagram feed. Only thing was, the day’s special menu wasn’t being served until 8.30pm. Which it did not say would be the case on their IG page, neither did it say so on their website, nor that it had to be specially ordered. That was bad enough but then to be told, via a DM from the Fox when we gave feedback privately that I was incorrect that the information was there it wasn’t I realised that detail wasn’t their forte and the word sorry was not in their vocabulary. . We stayed nonetheless because we did not want to be a last minute let down for a small business. Also because we were offered a better tab...
