Reservations are for food bookings only – all drinks are first come, first served.

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 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.

    My partners dinner arrived cold, he sent it back and had word that the chef agreed that it was cold and they would replace with another. By the time it returned almost 10 mins later, it meant that we both were pretty much eating dinner at separate times. I had deliberately slowed down eating my dinner so that I could eat alongside my partner, meaning I didn’t enjoy it as much as I should have. The manager on duty and service staff didn’t seem to bother about our experience and were only interested in whether the food tasted ok or not and letting us know that they replaced it as soon as possible. The manager didn’t offer an apology at all and actually said that they did what they could to resolve the situation after my partner said he didn’t want it. We reminded him that it wasn’t that he didn’t want it, it was that it was cold to which chef and kitchen staff had agreed. It didn’t matter to them that we were eating separately and had the experience ruined with having to deal with it and had a pretty poor experience when really we should have been enjoying a nice meal. We don’t go out to eat often and this should have been an enjoyable meal at a nice bar. The staffs attitude was pretty poor and in my opinion they didn’t care about the customer, at one point I could see him talking and pointing at us while speaking to a waitress to bring our bill which automatically included a service fee. Of course we paid full amount which we expected to do so, but considering there was admission of fault by the chef and poor service I don’t feel we were treated fairly and I will be unlikely recommend it to anyone else.

    Good food and service. Music playing way too loudly which left the entire dining area talking at the top of their voices whilst eating a meal. OK for some I’m sure. Not for me.

    Had a fantastic meal very impressed with quality of food and the service was impeccable. My only issue was the noise level. I thought having football on full blast in the restaurant area was unnecessary and then then music went on full blast shortly later. It was the middle if the afternoon so thought it could have been toned down whilst diners were in

    The Smokin FoxResponded on March 13, 2023Hi Sharon - Thanks so much for the great review - we also appreciate your feedback on the music level.

    First impressions were a bit mixed as the dining area seems to be a mix of booth seats and mishmash of unmatched tables and seats, however the overall impression is comfortable and relaxed so no real issues there. The music was excellent. The staff are very friendly and efficient. As a couple we were placed on a table combination for 6 diners. Probably more to do with online booking than anything else. The menu is compact but includes a good mix of starters and main courses. The food does not disappoint as biggie schwarma and burger were both excellent, as was the salt and chiii chicken wings starter. The only disappointment was the margarita cocktail, although as it does not feature on the cocktail list it may have been a bit challenging for the bar staff. Overall our meal was very enjoyable and we would have no issues in returning.

    Lovely experience. Staff so friendly and accommodating. We arrived early for our table to a very busy restaurant and girl asked us if she could arrange a drink at the bar and she would come and get us as soon as table ready. As good as her word a few minutes later we were seated. Busy vibrant restaurant but food was cooked to perfection and served with a smile. Cannot fault it. Even noise level although loud we could hear each other speak. Lovely wine and cocktails too. Can't wait for our next visit.
