"We booked a table for 8 people for Sunday lunch at 1pm. After ordering drinks at the table, we then ordered starters and mains. The starters arrived at 2pm. This seems an unreasonably long time to wait. Couldn’t fault the food or the waiting staff but slow service will make me consider whether to return or not."

We waited 15 minutes to be seated. The food arrived at the table after 1 hour since we placed our order!!!

I have had some nice eating here, but it's a tad unconsistent whether it's okay or really excellent. the service can be a bit slow.

I had high hopes for Fox Raven. The lovely countryside atmosphere, welcoming coziness of the interior, and varied menu all appeared to be very promising. View menu

I was disappointed by the dry Yorkshire and cold meat, and the service was slow (but we were warned); otherwise a comfortable, cosy and relaxing Sunday Lunch.

Did a last minute booking and cant fault them at all. Food, service and atmosphere was excellent. Our waiter James was attentive but not intrusive. Would definately be returning

The price of £35 per person without starters was deemed too high for a mediocre meal. Two out of the four dishes ordered had to be sent back as the meat was served cold. The rice was reheated afterwards... View menu

Regrettably, on the bank holiday Monday, there were only 1 to 2 staff members working at the bar of this charming pub with beautiful views and a garden. They appeared to lack a sense of urgency and were not providing proper service, which was disappointing.

The food is average and the menu is lacking in choice. But it is a nice atmosphere to eat in. Not a good place for having a drink with friends. Too much of the seating is settees and armchairs which ensure you have to talk a little too loud for a quiet conversation.

"I was appalled about the quality of the service from the moment I arrived at the moment when I left what was when I arrived, I was not asked if I wanted a drink, and I was not asked about the whole meal. the waitress should have seen on the table that we only had water and asked if we wanted a drink. then we ordered our first round hot food. I pressed the help button and after waiting for a good minute for the waitress finally arrived. I felt it was too long. at this point in the evening there were three complete tables throughout the restaurant, so I thought the time we had to wait was bad. then the food began to come, but it didn't come quite. a few dishes came and then a few more and a few more afterwards. that meant that we didn't all eat together, we all ate at different times. I had ordered two dishes to eat at the same time and they did not arrive at the same time. very disappointing. the third order of hot food was beyond a sweat. it was clear that one of the two waitresses did not feel very comfortable (I heard one of the chiefs who told her to go home) she was our waitress. So we ordered the third round hot food. minutes later, we hadn't had our food yet. in this time the cook spoke with the sick waitress. then I pressed the help button and I explained that we had ordered something to eat and waited a long time. then I look at the waitress and the cook and it was absolutely clear that the order did not go through so that it was only then that the food started to cook. the waitress who took the order explained that there were many problems and it was sorry for her. as a customer who paid for a meal, I did not care about the problems, I still expected a good service and my food to turn. overall I thought the service was absolutely terrible. I will not visit this restaurant again and I will not recommend the restaurant to everyone."
