About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Great for brunch
Not trying too hard, not overly complicated, and EXACTLY what you are looking for; our menu is the fox's knees. We have got a great selection of Scottish beers on tap, and have recently created an extensive cocktail menu for you to sip on while you catch up with friends. From the kitchen, you can expect feel good pub dishes with a twist made from fresh, seasonal ingredients – we think yer granny would even approve!

Foxes might not be great at sports (it’s hard when you can’t even wear shoes) but that doesn’t stop us from watching all the big games! We have all Sky Sports, BT, TNT & Amazon channels so can show everything from the Scottish Premiership & International Football to the Grand National and Wimbledon. Swing by, pull up a pew and catch all of the action- every table has a view!

    We booked the table for 4.15, intending to eat there, have a few drinks, then go to the station, which is across the road. We arrived to be told we had to vacate the table at 6. The table confirmation says food is served till 9, and I suppose I should not have assumed, but I did think that I'd be able to stay till then. What would be the point of ordering food to rush it and leave? If we wanted to eat it and beat it we would have gone to a carry out shop. We had a drink, I would say this was expensive, a glass of wine was £10.75, the cocktail was good though and at £10 was ok price wise. I noticed that the food was £19 for steak pie or fish and chips. Basic pub grub so quite expensive. The bottles of wine were expensive as well for a pub, bearing in mind this is not a restaurant - at £24 for the cheap stuff and any decent ones being over £30. As we could stay and relax we booked Pulcinella an Italian just up the road for 6pm. At that point the waiter said we could have the table till 7.30 as they had a no-show. We decided not to stay and the pressure to leave was a pain. The staff are very nice and the place was busy and very noisy, I didn't mind that but don't get what the fuss is about that the place is so popular.

    Thank you Steven, we are delighted :) Couldn't agree more with you as Mac and Cheese is one of my favourite dishes! Make sure you try our Steak Pie next time you are in - it pairs well with Cold Town Baltic IPA. See you again soon! Team Fox :)
