   Delicious inspiring food. Adventurous. Excellent service and lovely peaceful environment, no overwhelming music which was much appreciated.

   Outstanding food and excellent customer service. Our experience at the fox was fantastic- all the food was delicious and our waitress was so lovely. We had a guest with a gluten allergy and he was treated so well by staff. Our waitress made sure to spend a bit of extra time with him to point out the items on the menu that were suitable, reassuring us that the allergy was no issue to them to cater for.

   The service was friendly and efficient. I particularly liked the venison loin and the exceptional crumble. Other diners had some fantastic smoked salmon and whipped Stilton.

   We recently celebrated my husband's surprise 60th birthday at The Fox, and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. From the moment I called earlier in the day to arrange for a cake and balloons, the young lady I spoke to (whose name, unfortunately, I didn't catch) was incredibly accommodating. She thoughtfully asked if the cake needed to be refrigerated and even offered to have the balloons set up at the table before our arrival. What impressed me most was her attention to detail—she made sure our guests were seated discreetly where they couldn't be seen from outside and directed them to use a side door, just in case my husband arrived early. This extra effort ensured the surprise stayed intact, which I greatly appreciated. The service throughout the evening was excellent. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance. And the food? Absolutely outstanding. The prosciutto-wrapped cod was a highlight and is something I would highly recommend. Thanks to the team at The Fox for helping to make this milestone birthday such a memorable occasion!

   Friendly welcome, efficient service and food was enjoyable. I'd be interested to visit in Spring/Summer to see what the warmer weather brings in terms of variety.

   We booked a table for 5pm through Open Table but the day before the booking I was told that they didn't have a sitting at 5pm on New Year's Day and they couldn't understand how I'd managed to book it. They said they could give us a table for 4:30pm so I opted for that but when the reservation was sent to me it was for 4pm. The restaurant was busy as was the pub area. The service was fair but a drink was missed from our order and we had to re ask for it. The sea bream dish was very good but on the light side, the fish pie was one of the best I've ever eaten. My sister and brother in law had chicken wings and a beef burger, which they said were great. The wine list is fair, and the double espresso was authentic. We didn't have desserts. The staff could have been more attentive but it was busy for New Year's Day. We would return though as it was a quality meal.
