Our focus is bringing friends and family together, incredibly delicious (and fun!) food, creative beverages and having everyone who leaves the Fox & the Hen feel their day is better than when they came in.We do not seat incomplete parties, sorry.

Amazing food experience. We did the chefs experience with drink pairings. The 11 courses were full of flavor and texture and beyond filling. The chefs would describe each course and if sustainability is important to you this is a meal you should not miss.
