"The Fox used to be a great pub for really lovely food cooked and presented very well, sadly this has all changed in recent times. We went for a meal for four of us a few weeks ago in early December, the food took nearly 1.5 hours to come out, and was very poor, we even went for a take out afterwards as we were still hungry. Hoping that it was a one off issue, we booked a table of 12 for the 17th December (a family Christmas meal), most of the starters had to be sent back, just shocking, dry mushrooms on dry bread, the pate was literally a tea spoon of what was supposed to be pate (we couldn’t tell what it was) and a lump of jelly on the top, and the prawns were 4 prawns with a piece of stale bread! many of us refused to even risk trying a second starter replacement, and the manager even agreed it was shocking! The mains were mostly awful as well, the blade of beef was a small bit of chewy meat mostly fat, and missing all the advertised trimmings beyond a lump of mash! There was too much wrong with it all to even list here. None of us will ever be going back, even though they gave us all 50% off next meal vouchers as a sorry for how bad it all was. Just avoid the Fox now if you want a nice meal, it’s fine for just having a drink."

The atmosphere was great, but the food was just okay and the service was terrible. I would rate the food a 2, the service a 1, and the atmosphere a 5.

The meal was delicious, with great vegetarian options and beautifully presented dishes. The meat was cooked perfectly and I would definitely dine here again.

We went to listen to the christmas carols by a brass ensemble. The place was packed! Luckily, we booked a table. I had the ultimate fish and chips. All freshly prepared. Definitely the best fish and chips I've had in a pub. Fully recommend this pub. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Fish and Chips

We were disappointed by our experience at The Fox. Despite it being a slow lunchtime, the service was lacking. We had to wait a long time for our starters and main course. The staff seemed to be unoccupied and gave more attention to the afternoon tea guests who had reservations. The price per person was £80-90 and we would rate the food a 4 out of 5.
