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!

    Excellent lunch for us, 2nd visit because the first one was so good too 😊 The staff are so friendly and pleasant…not something that is guaranteed any more when dining in some places. Will be back again…thank you to all who attended my friend and myself.

    We had a great night watching the europa cup final! Staff were very attentive and friendly, so felt very looked after. Really enjoyed the fish and chips we had for dinner.

    Hi Sean - Thanks for the great feedback and really pleased that you enjoyed service, food and of course the cup final! We've got plenty of summer sports coming up - and early openings for the Lions tour in July - so if you'd like to book a table for any of it just let us know. Looking forward to seeing you guys again very soon! Team Fox :)

    Whilst we did enjoy our time at the Smokin Fox, they had run out of steak, which was our first choice. This was on a Thursday night...
    The Smokin FoxResponded on May 13, 2025
    Hi Ian - Thank for taking the time to pass on your feedback, glad to hear you enjoyed your experience on the whole but sorry to read that you were unable to order the steak you were looking forwards to. Please accept our apologies for this, we receive deliveries six days a week and endeavour to provide availability on all dishes at all times, but as with any establishment there are occasional instances of items selling out late on in service unfortunately. We do hope you will stop by again and give us the chance to wow you with our steak! Thanks again, Team Fox
