    We recently celebrated my husband's surprise 60th birthday at The Fox, and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. From the moment I called earlier in the day to arrange for a cake and balloons, the young lady I spoke to (whose name, unfortunately, I didn't catch) was incredibly accommodating. She thoughtfully asked if the cake needed to be refrigerated and even offered to have the balloons set up at the table before our arrival. What impressed me most was her attention to detail—she made sure our guests were seated discreetly where they couldn't be seen from outside and directed them to use a side door, just in case my husband arrived early. This extra effort ensured the surprise stayed intact, which I greatly appreciated. The service throughout the evening was excellent. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance. And the food? Absolutely outstanding. The prosciutto-wrapped cod was a highlight and is something I would highly recommend. Thanks to the team at The Fox for helping to make this milestone birthday such a memorable occasion!

    What a brilliant find! Looking for somewhere 'half way' to meet up with family. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the food choices (which we established are all made on the premises) were great, with the possibility to change portion sizes, etc, to suit taste and appetite. The chicken pie was amazing! We sat near the log burner, which was attended to all afternoon so we were nice & toasty on a bitter cold day! Large car park and we could see a large garden and play area for children. Loved it, great pub, we will be back.
