"Fantastic. Food is of highest quality, chip servings on the large side. I am local, within 5 miles. I got a flyer through the door, which prompted me to call and order, I was told that I should order online, which I was happy to do, unfortunately was not able to do so, as my address was not currently) covered by the websites options. On speaking with a member of staff, this issue was quickly rectified, so excellent service. Delivery time was absolutely excellent, very prompt... ...I didn't have to pay a delivery charge as there was no option for this at the online checkout, though I did reccommend that this would need to be updated on the website. I highly reccommend. Jem Wand."

"We visited last night for a special birthday meal. The welcome was warm, homely and genuine. Drinks were good, reasonably priced and paired well with the food on offer. We had Seafood starters and they both were well portioned, fresh and the accompanying sauces were well balanced. For main we took the Beef Wellington for 2. This was undoubtedly the star of the show, this is very hard to get right. The pastry was crisp and tasty whilst the Beef remained perfectly moist, tender and flavoursome it came accompanied with veg and a sauce which was the perfect mix. For Dessert we took the Tarte Tatin for 2 realistically it could be for 4 it was huge, and whilst not your traditional way of making it, we really enjoyed it and it finished off a great meal. The atmosphere was relaxed, service attentive and warm. We would very much come back again."

"Stopped here 1 pm Thursday lunchtime as we were driving past and the car park at the front of this nice looking pub restaurant had plenty of free spaces. We were surprised at the notice on the door saying “No Children” but went inside to the empty restaurant (just one table of 4 occupied). We took a seat and the waitress brought over the lunch menu. The cheapest offering was £14, baked ham, egg and chips or scampi and chips. I ordered a small glass of Sauvignon Blanc and we ordered the ham and scampi. The wine was brought over in a chipped glass (on the base) and the bottle had obviously been opened a few days ago. I didn’t complain at that point but if I had known the price, £7.50, I probably would have. The meals arrived promptly and I noticed immediately there was a problem with my ham. Although hand carved the edges of the two slices were dry and grey. I lifted off the top slice to see the slice underneath was also wet, sticky and grey in the middle. It also smelt “off”. I called the waitress back and said I couldn’t eat the ham for obvious reasons. She took it back and came back almost immediately saying “the chef says there is nothing wrong with the ham, he cooked it this morning, but would you like something else”. I was so taken aback with the response I just said can he do me egg and chips. She returned 5 minutes later with a fresh plate containing the original egg and 6 chips. I said is that the same egg and chips I returned, “yes” was the reply, the Chef has reheated the chips. So, I have in front of me a small, child portion, of stone cold fried egg and refried chips. I was hungry so ate this dismal offering and asked for the bill. Unbelievably I was charged full price for ham, egg, chips. Had to insist the bill was adjusted and it was to £3.50 for a bowl of chips and £2 for my egg. Was told to pay at the bar. At the bar I again said how disappointed I was, especially being served ham in such a condition. At this point another woman, maybe the manager, pulled the waitress aside and said there was nothing wrong with the ham, they cook a fresh ham every day and that I probably don’t know what a fresh baked ham looks like. How insulting can you be. I probably baked my first glazed ham before she was even born. I paid the bill, feeling ripped off and insulted. This was by far the worst dining experience I have ever had."

"Please ignore any negative reviews about this pub! We discovered it while out for a walk, and it has quickly become our favorite local hangout! The food is exceptional, but what really makes this place special is the landlady—she is incredibly warm and welcoming every time we come by. The service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is delightful and cozy. This is, without a doubt, my favorite pub in Buntingford! I’ve tried other pubs in the area since my family lives nearby, but none compare to the friendly welcome and quality food here. If you're looking for great food, top-notch service, and a cozy vibe, you have to check out The Fox in Aspenden! They also have a lovely garden for those sunny days. Honestly, there’s no reason to go anywhere else in Buntingford; the other pubs just don’t offer the same level of care that The Fox provides. It’s amazing—what more can I say!"

"Not sure whether Viceroy of India have a new food supplier or chef, but our latest takeaway fell far short of the very high standards we have come to expect from them. Though some of the order was good, there was definitely something very unusual and rather unpleasant about the mushroom rice. This knocked our confidence in the food, which is a shame. Maybe this is a blip, but we will still give it a miss for a while."
