"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.

"wasnt going to write a review but having booked in for my grandma's 88th birthday and to be told to go elsewhere if we wanted to be accomedated when we were sat at the table i can't not!! Such a shame as it did seem like it could be a bice little venue! Our waitress was helpfull enough, it seemed to be the management/ chef that wasnt, (which i assume was sarah) Even my grandma at 88 picked up on how we weren't really welcome there, It was an extremely awkward experience. We were recommended this place by family member whos a local who said it was nice! I've since told told family they need to try other places as if this is how they're treated then there's a whole new world out there. We arrived to being the only ones there and immediately felt an awkward presence like we shouldnt of been there! (Excluding one young girl with blond hair who was extremely apologetic to the lack of service they could offer) if it wasnt for her we would of left!! We immediately felt like we shouldn't of been there although we were booked in. We had already had a text to say that a new girl had booked us in and they couldn't accommodate us at 10.30 so to come at 11. We turned up at 11 and were given a drinks menu. We asked for a food menu and were told we don't really offer breakfast!! Were shocked as we booked in for breakfast. My mum had come from Liverpool and myself from Bury to take my grandma out for her Birthday! We asked for a few simple breakfast items eggs, bagles etc to be told to go down the road to another place if we wanted them!! I understand mistakes happen if they have booked us in too early but I'm sure they could if accomedated us for a little more. I would like to try for tapas but being so far away and the experience we've had I don't think it's worth the travel for us. Such a shame I think the chefs attitude could of been a little bit better and more accomedated."
