About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Romantic
The Fox and Hounds is an excellent venue to wile away the hours, with a pint of one of our excellent Real Ales, a glass of wine, a small snack or veritable feast. The "Top Fox", as it is affectionately known, has been a pub for over 500 years seeing a significant refurbishment and extension in 2001, and further renovations in 2014 giving the restaurant its new "Farm House" feel. Offering a wide variety of dishes, all cooked with locally sourced produce. Visit us today and try our menu!

    Good excellent, waitress was wonderful. Owner was very unwelcoming: abrupt, rude at the start in not welcoming us (we were 10 mins late) and hovered at the end to shoo us out.

    We had a fantastic meal at the Fox and Hounds. The roasts were excellent as were the delicious puddings. We have been here before but the service on this occasion was the best it has ever been; they really have an excellent team running the floor. It's a lovely pub in a beautiful setting so booking is a must! Combined with a trip to the Tree Barn (November and December) just down the road, it was a great day out.

    Pleasant scenery to travel through to get there, nicely proportioned restaurant, plenty of space, attractive menu, service friendly if a little slow occasionally, food tasty and not overwhelming and prices reasonable. Few criticisms of the overall experience.

    We all enjoyed our lunch at the Fox and Hounds. The food was excellent and service prompt and friendly. The pub is in a great location and we liked the extension building where we had our lunch.
